So let's say the Provider has multiple ads from multiple days.
How likely is it that Uncle Leo has been running the same "sting" for the past several weeks/months? I've always felt that if I can google the # and it the girl pops up on different "sites", then it's less likely to be a sting since Uncle Leo wouldn't spend that much time and effort registering ads on multiple sites.If you want to catch a lot of fish, you use a lot of nets.
More often than not, however, gals who run ads showing different gals all with the same number are doing a bait and switch operation.
Well let's say it is the same girl in all three ads. What then?
More often than not, however, gals who run ads showing different gals all with the same number are doing a bait and switch operation.
With the spate of busts going on nationwide, it is best to stick to gals who are very well reviewed.
The most common sting strategy I have seen is to hit Backpage with one or more Bait ads (fake pics) the day of the sting, with LE already staked out in the hotel. They then reel their fish and pull the ad. These are resource intensive operations. They can't be bothered to keep a permanent sting running.
But could they? Sure. ("Hey Sally, we got a chump who responded to our hooker ad from last month which we forgot to pull. It's a slow day -- You still got your cocktail dress?") I refuse to take the risk of TOFTT, but if I did, I would see a longer-term ad presence as less risky, but still much more risky than seeing well-known, reviewed providers.
