I am sure they can pop up anywhere, but if you stick with well reviewed providers you should be able to avoid any problems.

If you see a unreviewed provider from those two sources you are more likely to run into a ripoff/dishonest provider rather than an LE bust. It is common on those sites,just check out the rip off reviews on TER.

But LE has been known to post ads on many adsites. What is more likely to happen and be aware of is LE busting and getting a current advertizer to co-operate in a sting. Then again, LE's main thrust is to go after the providers who posted the ads, not the hobbyists.

there was a girl (provider-x)  busted in illinois about 2 weeks ago by a guy who called her eros ad and provided a reference from another girl (provider-z)  on eros.

provider-x emailed provider-z a reference request on the guy. provider-z said he was ok.

provider-x agreed to let the guy come to her hotel and she was promptly arrested.

provider-z is no longer on eros.. the ad came down within a day of the sting.... upon further investigation it was found that provider-z had an email address listed on her ad that when plugged into google, found zero hits... its pretty safe to assume that provider-z was in fact le.

if a provider has her email address in her ad and it hasnt been around long enough to have been spidered by google at least once, she hasnt been around long enough to give me a reference.

i'm sure if they used a fake provider ad to give a fake reference to snag a provider, they'd use a fake ad to snag a john.

stick with girls who you can find a history on them.. always google their phone # (put the # in between quotation marks) and google their email address. .. you might be surprised what pops up.
