SecretHostess (secrethostess.com) is a large international escort ad directory. It is also one of the sites providers complain about most. Across review sites, Reddit and sex-worker forums, providers say their ads, photos and phone numbers appeared on SecretHostess without their knowledge. Clients report profiles that never lead to a real meeting. This article separates what we verified ourselves from what providers and clients report, and explains what you can do about it.
The site describes itself as "an International Escort Directory Catering to Australia, UK, Germany, France, Canada," with city pages for countries worldwide. Public registry data shows secrethostess.com was registered in June 2020 through Namecheap and runs behind Cloudflare. The site does not publicly name an owner, company or address.
A disclaimer on every page sets out how the site sees its own role: SecretHostess "is an advertisement platform only and has no connection with the advertisers. Users are responsible for the content posted. Published ads are not subject to verification by SecretHostess."
In other words, the site says it does not verify ads. Its FAQ separately mentions "Verified" badges and a moderation team, so its own pages send mixed signals.
Listings can exist without the person's involvement, according to the site itself. The "How to Manage Your Listings" page tells providers to register, then verify the phone number "as in your listings" to "see all your listings." It also has a section for anyone who believes "someone else has added your listing." Every listing carries a "Remove / Report Listing" link.
Very high volume. Listing IDs on the site currently run above 12 million. New ads appear constantly, many dated the same day.
Red flags in sample listings. We read a handful of current listings in Sydney and other cities. Several showed warning signs that scam-awareness guides commonly mention:
Its own DMCA page. The site invites copyright complaints, asking for a description of the work, a link to the listing and contact details. It also warns it may pursue people who file "fraudulent" complaints.
No Terms of Service found. The FAQ refers to Terms and Privacy pages, but we could not find them at the usual addresses.
A DMCA notice on record. A March 2024 notice in the Lumen database, sent to Google on behalf of a content creator, lists secrethostess.com and cdn.secrethostess.com among sites allegedly hosting copyrighted photos without permission.
We did not independently confirm, through image comparison, that any specific SecretHostess profile was copied from another site.
These are first-hand reports and opinions from public sources. They are not findings of fact.
Ads reposted without consent. On Trustpilot, several providers say they never advertised on SecretHostess but found their ads there:
Outdated or inaccurate details. On SAAFE, a provider said a listing described her ethnicity wrongly and implied services she does not offer. Forum users on Perb (Vancouver) and PunterNotes describe very old ads, including ads for people who had retired.
Deposit scams reported by clients. Reviews on Trustpilot, ProductReview.com.au and Reddit describe people being asked for upfront deposits or gift cards, then getting no meeting.
Removal experiences vary. One provider on SAAFE said the removal link was "easy" to use. Others say reports led nowhere, and a Perb user said some people only got ads removed after contacting the site's host.
Many reviewers use the term "scraper site." It is a common description in the community, though we could not verify how ads end up on the site.
Providers often prefer platforms where they control their own profiles. We have covered several such options before, including Tryst Agency, PornCompanions and Private Delights. Velvet22 is an independent directory where providers can create their own listings, alongside other channels they choose.
Is SecretHostess legit? It is a real, operating ad directory, online since 2020. However, it states that ads are not verified, and many providers report finding their ads there without consent. Treat every listing with caution.
Is SecretHostess a scraper site? Many providers describe it that way and report that their ads were copied from sites such as Tryst. We could not independently verify who posts these ads or how.
How do I remove my profile from SecretHostess? Use "Remove / Report Listing" on the ad, verify your phone number through a free account, contact support, or file a DMCA notice. If that fails, escalate to the host or registrar.
Are the profiles on SecretHostess fake? Not necessarily all of them. Reports suggest many are copied, outdated or used in deposit scams, so verify a provider through their own channels before contact or payment.
Is Velvet22 connected to SecretHostess? No. Velvet22 is not affiliated with SecretHostess or secrethostess.app.
