I’m trying to understand how this even happened. It feels almost impossible to get scammed by a site like this, especially when a simple Google search is all you need to find that Lexi Lore (Tryst Agency) actually provides. In most cases, the first results you’ll see are TER or one of the agencies she’s rostered on. So it really makes me question how some clients ended up losing deposits to a scammer.Lexi posted yesterday that someone created a fake website pretending to be her and was collecting deposits from clients. The scam included both the website and an email address, all set up with the sole intention of taking people’s money. From what was shown, the site itself looked extremely basic it even had “wixsite” in the URL. That’s the part that confuses me the most. As much as someone might want to believe it’s real, there’s really nothing about it that makes it look legitimate. So the question becomes: how were people actually fooled by this?
If you type Lexi’s name into any search engine along with anything related to providing, you’ll get multiple legitimate results. Everyone’s search results can vary based on browsing habits, but I find it hard to believe that a random Wix site would show up before established platforms. Typically, you’re going to see agency listings, TER discussions, or other community-driven sources first. There’s just too much information out there for something like this to be the primary point of contact.
That’s really where my confusion sits. Even if we ignore how fake the site looks, there’s still an overwhelming amount of accessible information that can guide you in the right direction whether it’s agency rosters, community discussions, or verified booking methods. The resources are there.
I’m not here to call anyone stupid, because that doesn’t help anything. But I will say this: situations like this are avoidable. When there’s this much information available, it really comes down to doing your homework. Take your time, verify what you’re looking at, and don’t rush into sending money.
