. . . . that both now spend the majority of their time in Florida and visit Chicago frequently. I think they both still use Chicago area phone numbers.

Does this throw up a red flag for you?

Providers that advertise that they're "visiting" but they have a local phone number.  I see this all the time.

If there is a reasonable explanation please let me know.  Otherwise, it's always been a red flag and a sign to move on.

Any thoughts???

Assuming the pics are real.  BTW, people who are PMing me, I'm not VIP, so your messages will forever be stuck in limbo.

So a few things. Firstly I have been in your shoes and wondered the exact same thing.
I also noticed thats it's not just one, but a few ladies "touring" together. You can tell by the way the AD is worded (and at times, they even suggest doubles).
BUT my policy is this...if there are no reviews I move on. Too many fine ladies out there for me to waste time and money on these uncertain ones. In fact now I hardly even go on Eros. I use the TER regional boards to scour for ADS and occasionally go to TER just to check if my ATF tourist is visiting Chicago

Since Eros is THE most expensive site for advertising, the price of a visiting ad is a little cheaper than a base ad. Therefore, the ladies who advertise as visiting vs base could simply be trying to save a couple bucks.

Just a thought.

Not really,
It's 125 for a 2 week visiting ad vs 140 for a whole month base ad

Just my 2 cents,
Addy

And most of them say they're independent, which for me raises the bullshit flag right up next to the red flag.

As far as the "red flag" on phone numbers...I see a lot of the local gals who post (or their agency's post) that they are "just visiting".  And it seems like they are visiting for a hell of a long time...like months and months.

And why don't you get VIP so we can continue our chats?

marketing strategy. If the guys think the lady is just visiting, there may more of an urgency to see her.

And if we're playing Family Feud, this would be the number one answer.

And I'm sure not surprisingly, this works well for some of the gals.

But it starts to fall apart as the ad just keeps updating the "travel dates"...for months!

Now where's my prize? *winks* LOLOL

Lots of providers have phone numbers that do not match their home base. I assume it comes back to where they were based when they got the phone and they chose to keep the cell phone when they moved, as most do these days. Why not? The other issues may be red flags, but for me that one is mostly meaningless.

A while back a provider told me she did not screen out of state numbers as tightly as local numbers as she considers an out of state area code to be less risky. Makes a little sense, tho I screen the same.

could be purchased so that when you google the number, nothing comes up.  Another reason to avoid.  Obviously, these ladies would have no reviews.

I got a phone with a local number so that when clients
called , a Beverly Hills number would not appear on the
cell phone bill. I also saved alot of money on toll calls and took advantage
of the free mobile to mobile for those who had the same cell service provider
