Hi All,

I've started seeing sex workers this year and made separate emails, social media accounts etc whilst completing research on who were legitimate and trustworthy workers to engage with. I'm here to speak about a specific worker (Lets call her Laura - fake name) and how to address the situation of how I accidently found her personal social media accounts.

I've had 2 session with Laura in the last 2 months and I've followed their professional twitter page. Laura didn't have an instagram or Facebook page linked.

I've had various fake accounts appear using the pictures of some of these workers and in particular some accounts using Laura's picture but called different names (Ashley, Jessica) so I knew they were scam/spam.

Laura has another social media page linked to their professional page and the name of the account is completely different to Laura's professional name. The names format is what looks like an eastern European last name with some numbers replacing letters. So if we took a random name like Kelsie, the format would be K3l5i3, where the 3s replace es and the 5 replaces the s.

Today I was logged into the instagram I created and there was a profile in the suggestion and without registering the difference name as the account was private and had a newer clear picture of Laura I thought it was legitimate.

An hour lately I was thinking something was off about the account and went back to check. However I couldn't find the account anywhere and assumed it was another spam account.

On my personal Facebook 30 minutes later in the friends suggestion part there is a profile with the same name as the instagram. I check instagram for this new name and low and behold it's there. The last name of both of the profiles matches the eastern European name from her other social media account.

She has obviously blocked this burner instagram account. There is a 99% chance Laura knows the instagram account is me because its the same name I've given her and the same name under the payment method. I've not been blocked on the site I used to book her or whatsapp where we further communicated about the bookings.

After checking the Facebook account, I confirmed this is her actual account with posts and pictures going back to 2013 with her whole life and 900 friends and relationship information.

I've blocked both Laura's personal Facebook profile and instagram profile on my personal social media accounts as my profile may start to appear in her suggestions and she thinks I'm stalking her.

This was a complete accident and not my intentions to find these profiles. I'd like to make Laura aware that this happened and for a few reasons.

1. Not trying to sound like a white knight but i know I do not want to do anything with this information but if an upset client found this out I'm worried it could effect her negatively.
2. She already verbally agreed to assist in some other types of bookings for myself and I do not want her to feel uncomfortable.

What approach would be best; whatsapp, email, phone call or when I book another session to mention it before?

Or do I not mention it at all and just continue as is?

TLDR: Accidently found a sex worker I've had sessions with personal accounts and wondering the best approach to inform her or if I should at all?
