The erotic messages supposedly sent from women on some adult websites are often actually from men.

The client is a 50-year-old man in the US, the attractive young white woman he is chatting with online is Gingerhoney, a model whose profile image shows her lying prone on her bed. The client thinks Gingerhoney is nearby but he has no idea that she is actually a man far away, in Nigeria.

Abiodun switches profiles between the dozens of fake accounts he manages on these websites, but each time he purports to be an attractive young white woman. While the websites are free to join, clients have to subscribe to packages, which cost from $6 to $300 , to receive or send messages to the "women".

"It is like a customer-service job, only the client thinks they are chatting with the CEO," Abiodun told the BBC. One of LMS' top recruiters, Adedamola Yusuf, based in Germany, handles the job adverts on her social media accounts, where she shows off a lifestyle of glitz and glamour with holidays in exotic locations.

Nicholas Akande, a director with LMS in Nigeria, registered more than 100 people in the first week of July to work as chat moderators and told them the job was legal.Nicholas Akande trains new recruits on WhatsApp and Skype "I must have texted 20 women and was always put off when it was suggested to meet personally," said one man, who claimed he had spent $64.99 on a site owned by Meteor Interactive.

Meteor Interactive says its Terms & Conditions makes it clear that some of its profiles are fictional and that "the possibility of a meet-up are not possible".
