stay off of CL
I have heard alot of stories of people getting busted on craigs list by LE.
I am a newbie and am just wondering what other website there are to advertise on besdies Craigs list?
and what can i do to stay safe and to protect myself against the LE
thansk so much for all of the helpful advice!
Just make sure you screen potential clients well. Having them tell you they are John Jones and want to meet with you in an hour is not even close.
There is a link on a post here a few days ago that leads to something Ciara had put up on the internet that is really good information for new providers.
CL is a free advertising place, so it is useful. But you can also advertise on Eros, on here (your regional board once a week), and you should seriously think about getting your own website.
You can also start blogging, there is a Provider blog page you can go to ( http://www.escortblogs.net/escortblogs.htm ).
Just make sure you are at your comfort level when meeting a client. Make sure you screened him well enough that you know he works for **** company and not LE. Check his ID the first time you see him to make sure he is who he says he is.

Compare the "flagged" with the legitimate ad's....the scams/bait and switch/pimp ruled/ROB's/fake pic's....etc
yeah...it's that scary!
stay off of CL
It is an undisciplined, unaccountable, frontier border town of free market legerdermane. It's inhabited by scullduggerous profiteers, naive neophytes, fantastic bang for the buck bargains, and easily orchestrated LE stings.
A savvy hobbyist can sometimes mine a diamond out of Craigslist, whereas a novice can often be buried by Rip-Offs or Law Enforcement cave ins.
Craigslist is the most well known, and I’m sure there are (or will be) other/future upstarts; but without a credible and self policing review system such as found here at TER the risks will always be inherent.
The one you are on right now is a good website to advertise.
but not on the newbie board, this part of the site is for questions such as the one you asked.
go to the regional boards drop down, select you local area, and post there, but first let us know where you are posting.
Thank you
