Anyone Heard About an Escort Magazine?

I've received an email from this person getitstarted0202@****mail.com

Hi! I'm starting an adult magazine in Austin that advertises escorts, strip clubs, sex shops, adult video shops and head shops. The Magazine will be free to anyone over 18 and will be distributed at all of the places listed above along with Hotels and eating establishments. We are planning to distribute ten thousand of the magazines per week all over Austin and San Antonio. The magazine will look a lot like this....http://www.anemagazine.com/. I am trying to find local ladies who would like to advertise in the magazine. You can put as much or as little information in the ad as you would like. The magazine will come out in a couple of months. The ads will be $160.00 per ad. Please let me know if you or anyone you know would be interested in this kind of service. Thanks for your time and I wish you well!!!!

---------- I wrote back saying it sounded like a bunch of hoohah.

The response I got back was :

No, you're wrong. You would give me half of the money before your ad ran and half after. I have a legit office and am a legit person. If you look at the link I sent you you will see, it does work. Scroll to the back of ANE Magazine. I currently work for a well known Austin Newspaper and I have investors working with me on this. It is 100% completely legitimate. But yeah, be on the lookout for the mag....might change your mind.

---------- Somebody, anybody.. give me the scoop if you've got it.

There was one here in Dallas that lasted one issue. I'm not sure if it was legit because I had never seen a single advertising in it post on any other site or forum.

There are several of them in Atlanta. Mostly distributed free in strip clubs and adult stores.

I don't know how "successful" they are but they've been around for years. A little bit of editorial content. Big advertisers are SC's, AMPs, & agencies.

One has to remember that despite nearly everyone having internet access not all travelers do & many business travelers that do don't want to access adult content on a work laptop.

Doesn't Austin still have the Austin Chronicle? It's not an escort magazine but there are a lot of SC and adult services that used to advertise in there and I always saw them at the adult megaplex and such.
