These unlucky prostitutes were caught in the act while touting for business - after being snapped by Google Street View cameras.

The women in skimpy outfits are seen plying their wares on roadsides in dozens of countries - including the UK.

But they were unaware they were being photographed by the search engine's cameras and then uploaded to the web.

More than 5,000 shots of sex workers have been posted by eagle-eyed browsers on doxyspotting.com.

They include a prostitute in one-piece lingerie waiting for customers by some woods in Nice, France, and a blonde girl in denim hot pants being picked up by a punter in Taguantiga, Brazil.
