→Consensus of most UKP posters
Bait and Switch can apply to any aspect of life where consumer goods or services are offered. In a punting context , it refers to fake photographs (photos of a different person such as: a celebrity or pornstar, old photos or photos of a different prostituteescort) used as "bait" to lure the punter into visiting them. By the time the punter has invested time and money in seeing the prostitute escort, he might go through with the punt, despite being tricked. In recent reports many prostitutes some escorts that work from the same house may offer a different prostitute girl to the one pictured on the profile, this . This sometimes occurs with agency websites as well as independents.

'''Bait and Switch is very bad behaviour and should be discouraged. It is very unhelpful to give B&S people money, even when the switch is to an equally attractive girl. As long as punters give them money, they will keep doing it. If all punters walked when the girl booked is not there, the practice would die out. While clearly this is not going to happen in the short term, it is still the right thing to do.'''
So you should WALK AWAY. Say nothing, or say 'changed my mind' or say 'left my wallet in the car' or say 'sorry you look different to your pictures, goodbye'. But walk.
