This really is a hobby to me. Although I may only have about 90 minutes of contact time per month, I spend much more time searching ads, reading reviews, and researching providers. It is like looking at porn, when you may have a chance to meet the model. Recently I came across a TER ad from a provider whose oldest of a dozen reviews was 3 months old. There was a link on her TER profile to an ad from myprovider.com. Her face was blurred on all her very professional looking pictures. Using Chrome as my web browser, it was easy to right click over a picture and "Search Google for image." The result yielded her pictures without the face blurred, plus hundreds more pictures, and her real "model name." I was able to see that her pictures were 6-9 years old, and see newer pictures to best gauge her current appearance, both face and body.

I realize that you may mean well and that she should seriously watch her shit better, but you obviously rummaged beyond what was needed to decide if you wanted an appointment or not. Knowing someone did pry can be more jarring than knowing someone could pry.  

It's one thing to do research and read reviews.
If a provider has her face blurred out of the pictures.
Then it's clear she wants to remain anonymous and discreet.
I think what you are doing is not respecting her privacy!

If she lifted her own pics of the web, blurred her face and thought she would remain anonymous, she really didn't think that through.  I would let her know, understanding that she may not want to ever see me.  It's not like you have a long standing relationship with this lady, so you really aren't going to lose anything.  She, on the other hand, stands to lose a great deal.

I'd email her and let her know, but I'd create a totally new email address to do this from, just so if she does react negatively to this, it can't be traced back to you.

I can agree with your overall comment, however the provider is only being as discrete as she can be.

Every day on Regional Boards here on TER, guys ask questions about pictures and how to determine if pictures on an ad are really of the woman in the ad or someone else, ie: stolen.  Every Day!!  As we all know there is an epidemic of stolen pictures in this game and the advice to newbies is that images on a woman's ad should be checked using Tineye or Google Image.  Google Image has become a much better resource that Tineye.

You mention in several of your reviews that you routinely do internet detective shit to find face photos of girls who clearly don't want their faces seen. So it's not like you just stumbled upon this stuff by chance. You were ACTIVELY seeking it. Why, when you found that a reverse image search correlated to her modeling work, did you not think to yourself "oh shit! She probably doesn't realize that her name can be found out this way! I'd better bail. No need to invade her privacy any further"?! Instead, you took it a step further went through her social media profiles. And not only that, you continued to snoop to the point of correlating what relationship she has to different people in her photos! That's unconscionable.  

Assuming that your motives are pure (and most hookers will NOT think so), I think you will learn the eternal truth that no good deed goes unpunished.  

People don't seem to have an issue with the Google Image Search. The part that has been mentioned in responses is the extended research, which he obviously has interest in beyond ONLY telling her bc he just told us.  That's quite a bit of needless research followed by a rather extraneous amount of info  being shoehorned into the post for one so concerned with her privacy....

I'd have no problem letting this prostitute know that she's got all her other social media linked to her prostitution websites and ads.  

Don't email her until you already researched for her social security number and order an Experian credit check along with criminal background check.

If we stumble upon a site with locked photos...

Yes I definitely think you should make her aware of what you found. However you should have posted this from a damn alias!! You basically just outed her to everyone reading your post. If you are really "trying to help her" why are you exposing her even more.

yes, it is totally weak that this guy is actively digging for info. Creepy. But telling him "no" is like telling a cat to ignore tuna, or telling a dog to ignore a cat. I've seen so many providers advertise that they have no problem showing face pics, providers working on twitter, providers working on FB...etcetera....

I totally agree that he needs to inform the stalkee. While the poster is repugnant the question he raised is legitimate. I think that the hobbyists' code of honor makes it incumbent to inform a provider of a serious problem even when the consequences may be negative for the messenger.

Not Weak. It's perfectly normal for mongers to google pictures, phone numbers , names. E mail addresses etc to see if she is who she says she is. Most guys are looking for stolen model's pictures, multiple ads under different names, numbers etc. and there is no shortage of that.  

There are enterprising girls who use FAKE blurred pictures too.

I am glad you agree with my overall comment FatVern.
The provider was trying to be low key, under the radar or cautious.
Then she wanted to be discreet and that is her right.

How was it necessary in the slightest bit to take the time to determine which people in her Instagram photos were her husband, mother, sister and children? He openly admits that he does this stuff to try and find photos of ladies not connected to their work personas. This isn't an issue of stolen photos or screening someone with voluntarily offered info. This is an issue of someone who repeatedly and without remorse spends his free time playing internet detective to track down things about these women that they clearly don't want being seen by potential clients. Just because he's capable of doing it doesn't make it any less reprehensible.  

Is guard her RL identity and carefully plant decoy social media under a "real" name and bio. Full rats take a break from scavenging. Lol

As a client, why is it OK for me to provide a link to my work web site, phone number to my employer, and county where I live to get screened, but not OK for me to research a provider as much as I can? The first agency that screened me, before I had ever seen my 1st provider, called me after all I had provided them was my name and cell phone number. He wanted to verify, meaning they already had the information from some other source,  a previous address, my mom's house, and a previous roommate, my sister, as well as other personal information that I had not provided. The agencies are obviously doing research to verify I m not LE. If they do nothing with that research afterwards, I accept that as the price to play. When I am researching a provider, why should it matter what I find out about her if that information stays in my head?

What you did not have, was permission to look up her personal information.

Tobi is pissed! Dude you better hide. I have it on good authority that her bite is worse than her bark ...

First of all, verifying whether or not a lady meets your personal attractiveness standards is NOT the same as verifying that a client isn't a cop, a stalker, a violent criminal, or a ripoff artist.
