The same thing happened on backpage though.Not at all, but the chances of running into a scam are greater on LL. It used to be good and now it’s like finding a needle in a haystack.
Most people also do not take the time to research phone numbers and names, they get too excited by the good deals.
I have a lot of friends that advertise on LL but they also use at least another website. That allows client to cross check and make sure they’re legit at least.
There was alot of scams but at the same time there was also alot of good providers.
I believe it is up to the client to do his due diligence and research the provider before booking an appointment. However, there are still tons of guys out there that dont know the review boards or think that review boards are pointless.
