An advert on MaltaPark has offered a 'professional baby-making service' to women who wish to become mothers without being in a relationship.

The advert read: "Are you a woman who wants to have a baby but does not want a relationship? We offer a discreet professional baby making service with no strings attached! Call us now!"

The advert then gives a Malta telephone number and says each 'session' would cost €50.

When a woman phoned the number to make enquiries she was told to give her details for an appointment. When she asked whether this was a sperm bank, she was told 'no' the service is for 'sex'.

The advert was removed by early afternoon.
