I noticed one sign is if they ask you to pay right away once you arrive in the door.
Thanks I will remember that.There are really two levels of scams, those that are not even likely SP's, fake ads that ask for etranfers or gift cards/prepaid visa etc. Then there are ladies that are real, might not have real pictures or might have, but don't actually provide the services provided, such as Jaayda and Nikki XXX etc. I myself always pay the lady up front, I beleive that is just good manners, but yes when a lady goes out of her way to insist that you pay her, that is a warning sign.
Yes I always check the bottom of LL ads, same ads in different cities on the same day is certainly going to lead to a "gift card scam", if I even text these my first question is "do you take cash when we meet?" that usually ends the conversation right there...I remember seeing a LL girl advertise for Ottawa and at the bottom, same girl listed for Cornwall and somewhere in Southern Ontario, all with the same date. So best to check the history where possible.
best way to avoid pimps to avoid cheap motels, pimps don't pay for nice Hotels or private houses...How about those that you think are being pimped? I have had a baaaaaad experience once.... just saying..... a little gun shy so to speak for a while now. I am looking to get back into the hobby but too afraid. Does anyone know which ones to avoid that they know of right now due to scams or pimps strong arming hobbiests???
100% yes, face pics and declining a request for a pic with say a phone number or a gesture like thumbs up is a huge red flagI'm trying to vet a lady right now and I have a question. When asking for a verification pic over text, I assume you ask them to personalize it in someway, correct? Otherwise they could just be sending you a pic they pulled from the same place they got their ad pics from, right?
The lady I'm trying to TOFTT with sent a couple pics but when I asked for a pic with my phone number and her face in it she declined (she sent multiple face shots and her ad has face shots so). This is suspicious, right?
