would you work for someone who has their number on exposingjohns.com? (employee, collect)

First of all, if anyone is even thinking of checking out the site, don't. Don't even venture into that extortionist side of the internet, because nothing good can come of it.

Second, read up on the website. It's a shakedown scam. Contact is initiated via Craigslist or that sort of venue where people go to find some company. A person is lured into contacting some other person (who might work for the website) via mobile device, maybe sends some texts and (hopefully) a picture, and then *BAM*! They are suddenly listed on the website as a john. Maybe some people get there legitimately, but the fact that the website (and others like it) make it easy to register a "john", then offer to de-list the john for a hefty fee, pretty much destroys any shred of credibility that they might have had.

The OP is either advertising for the site, or needs to put on the critical thinking cap before acting on something just because it exists on the internet. The internet is full of garbage.

I can't believe a site like that actually exists. It gives no accountability. I'd take the job if I were you, you have no idea if that man actually is a john or not.

I would because it wouldn't occur to me to look for something like that.

Or care to.

I am in the camp of could care less. Now if it were to get in the way of work I might have a problem but with the internet so much information is public and it is so easy to find information on yourself and other people. Pretty crazy if you ask me. The fine line of your personal and professional life is getting harder to define with all the social media. I'm also a believer of taking action for your life and what you do.

Exactly, and something doesn't add up with this thread.

Why would the business phone number show up, and why would the OP Google the phone number to begin with? If you went to an interview you already have the phone number.

Did the OP maybe Google the owner's name?

Someone that can't mind their own business is more pathetic than someone that pays for sex from another consenting adult IMO. You don't deserve a job, as you most likely will only cause problems in the workplace.

If you won´t work for someone who pays for sex you probably won´t want to work for any major corporations. People with power and money buy sex. It´s safer than having mistresses and they can afford it, And anyways what good is power and money otherwise?

All workers are prostitutes.

Based upon the information shown here and the internet in general, anyone can make outrageous claims about anyone else, effectively slandering them and trashing their reputation online. There's no verification and people are simply assumed guilty until proven innocent (which is often impossible to do.)

Unless you have some definite, real-life proof that the person in question behaves in a fashion that would making working for them difficult - such as hitting on female coworkers, etc. - I wouldn't worry about it. Anyone can post whatever nonsense they want online, and scams are everywhere.

I never heard of the website, but couldn't care less.
