Neighbours in a small residential street say they are being harassed by punters knocking on their door expecting a prostitute at all hours - only to find out they've been scammed. Some residents of the street have resorted to putting signs in the window saying "no sex workers here".
The door knockers have been answering ads posted on a sex worker site - left by fraudsters who take payment online and then send them to a false address. Many have been in the name of Marnie, although more recently the name Johanna has been used.
For some reason, the scammers are choosing to send their marks to a small residential street in Brighton The residents have had to track down the profiles themselves and report them, which seems to work for a few months - but then a new profile springs up.
