What do you think the scam angle is behind ads like this?

She appears to be an attractive woman, cute some might say, but I am surprised all photos show her face.
No bikini/lingerie photos that you would normally expect.
tineye doesn't find any matches.
And she appears to be charging very cheaply, suspiciously so.
Also the ad appears to be written by one of those agencies that rewrite resumes for graduates.

The contact given is for India, so maybe the prices reflect the actual location. No idea why they'd be putting up an ad for Sydney.

Says she is an airline hostess, so she could come to Sydney for short (24-48 hr) visits. But you would have to book her through her home account? She probably offers the same services in other cities she visits.

I've seen ads before for hosties looking for a bit of sideline cash while they are here; job not so well paid in Asian countries, and they may not be aware of the going rate for such services here? I remember a few years back some of the girls from malaysian would get all tarted up, and be picked up from their hotel in a minibus, shortly after arriving here.

Scam angle is that somewhere down the line, they'll get you to make an advance downpayment. It might only be a token admin fee and/or an airfare. It is then that they disappear and you never hear from them again. The only time I would ever do something like this is if I already knew the agent beforehand very well.
