Apparently, there is a BackPage bust in the works. Got a call from a lady yesterday warning me of some BP targeting that she got caught up in. Apparently, he passed general screening but couldn't provide any provider refs. Ugh.

I know board policy says no posting info that could be deemed as indiscreet so PMs are appreciated!

"you cannot PM an alias"

The problem with too much discretion: sometimes it leaves you in the dark.

Isn't this more of an everyday thing these days??

I think its pretty safe to say that there's always a sting in progress somewhere in the Chicagoland area everyday.

Unless you're out on a farm in the middle of nowhere, the risk exists.

My advice?
Be like Jason Statham from the movie "The Transporter" and stick to your rules and nothing should go wrong

I was busted many moons ago from an ad on Eros. As long as there are women advertising companionship on adult websites (it does not matter which one), there are going to be police officers in the city of Chicago attempting to bust them. Most women get arrested sooner or later. It's kind of this taboo thing amongst providers about which nobody talks. I find it odd. If you do get arrested, it certainly is not the end of the world. Be polite. Be cooperative. DO NOT EVER HAVE DRUGS WITH YOU. And you will be just fine.

The sky is not falling ladies. Busts are always going to happen in this city. Just beware of that Asian cop dude. He did a major, major bust on a Chinese massage place last year, so I know he is still around.

Will someone PLEASE tell me why LE wastes my taxpayer $ on this?  Shouldn't they be out busting people who exploit other people, steal from people, or hurt other people? I wish we were more like Canada, where the act is legal but the exploitation and criminality is not legal. Or Germany, where it's legal, regulated, taxed and, just like any other occupation, is PROTECTED by the police! Wow, what a thought...the police actually protecting providers from harm!
