CTP: your input is always invaluable. I hesitate to ask similar questions on the board for fear I'll get a well-meaning shot across my head. Instead I do the research you advocate. Thanks.
OK - I, however, am new to this Board and I know nothing, so I will help you. Use tineye dot com or Google Image Search on ALL the photo's (not just one or 2 of them) in the ads you are interested in. In this case, these photo's are taken, lifted, stolen, whatever from porn or teen model websites. Which means, you are NOT going to meet the girl in the pictures if you make a date with her. It took me all of 2 minutes to do a search on the photos in her ad. Learn how to do it. I would guess 50% or more of the pics on Backpage or Eros are fake. "Pics are 100% real" means nothing.
Second, do a Google search on the phone number. If you had, you would have found this girl has been posting ads in several cities using those same fake pics for the past couple of months. Def not a good sign.
Third, use the advance search function on the TER review site to check her phone number, and then the name in all cities (that is 2 searches, not 1). What you will find is no reviews of this "Lena" anywhere. Again, generally not a good sign.
If you call this girl, let us know what she actually looked liked. But don't be surprised if she is a complete rip-off. Claiming fake pics are 100% you, is a fairly good indication of a rip-off artist. Good luck.
I searched her number the second I saw the ad, getting a few other post with the same pictures of the same girl doesn't really help as far as finding out if she is "real" or not. TER's search isn't the best by far. Searching for girls I know are on her and it comes up with 0 results. So that turned out to be a waste. As far as TinEye goes, if you don't know it's there, you can't use it. But I did, after doing a search for image searching websites.
Long story short, I called, just to see what she would say. Went straight to voice mail and the voice mail was full.
It's pretty easy, perhaps moreso than Tineye. With mulitple tab open, I keep one open to images.google.com and when I find a pic, I click and hold, then drag the image to the images.google.com tab (literally over the tab), wait for it to open, then drag and drop into the "place image here" box that opens when you get near the dialog box (where you normally would input text in a search. That's the quick way, that works 90% of the time, even on Eros. I'm using a Mac, Firefox 9.0.1.
She doesn't sound polish, that doesn't mean anything, does it.
I did ask her if she was the girl in the pictures, she didn't hesitate to say yes. I then asked her if she has a website. She said no. So I responded with, Well, the girl in the pictures has a website.
I got a few seconds of silence. I then asked, do you offer, Me or it's Free? She hung up.
