You could do all that, or simply check TER boards and reviews and discover that Miss Logan, Katie Flowers, KiwiGirl, Lorena DeLeon, and many others are very real and worth spending time with. I certainly hope to spend time with several of them when I am in LV in a few months(and yes, I do my homework way in advance).
I just went to an ad site to "bump" my ad. I noticed a large number of "Verified Photo" tags. I thought 'damn, these girls can't all be real.' They're not. So, I figured I would start a thread where we could all share our tricks for uncovering bogus ads.
Here is what I use:
The first basic step I do is to search her phone number and/or email address. I use Google, but different people like different search engines. If she has reviews, those normally are towards the top of the results. Sometimes I find nothing or different ads with different photos and names.
Then I reverse her number. I use Search Bug. http://www.searchbug.com/tools/reverse-phone-lookup.aspx They let you do up to 10 free searches per day. If it comes back a "LANDLINE" then it is most likely an agency ad. If it come back "VoIP" then it is likely a virtual number, like mine or Google Voice. Most reputable independents just use cell phones.
Thanks, for the good info. Yes. There are a Lot of bogus ads, out there. In some cities, it's Eros the worst. In others, CityVibe is worse. Nothing bogus, about you, Logan.

..... "that seems like a lot of work". Not really if you're gamed out of 300, 400, 500 plus dollars even just once. Those steps takes few minutes tops.
I saw a repost of this and posted the following reply. I may get blasted for disagreeing with a well respected member of this board but I know newbies do search the boards for info and even old posts come up... And it is just one of the several points mentioned I find inaccurate - the rest are very good advice.
Not to be argumentative, but the reverse phone search is not an accurate indicator. My own posted phone numbers come up as landlines but I am most certainly legitimate, reputable and have ALWAYS been independent. I have also had clients whose phone numbers came up as landlines but have seen with my own eyes the number rings to their cell phone. There are so many options for phone service nowadays, including forwarding, etc, that the practice of determining a person's legitimacy based on the type of number they use is old school and antiquated.
