I just cannot figure out why one provider would take on the former phone number from another one, particularly if that other provider has been rated poorly.  
(moderator to edit out the links, if necessary.)

This is just weird. This provider ads at BP:
http://losangeles.backpage.com/FemaleEscorts/n_e_w_-1_decorated-_award-wnnng_highly-recommended/10787870
A TER check of the phone number turns up a totally different girl (TER 124269), who is reviewed negatively and had posted on BP at:
http://losangeles.backpage.com/FemaleEscorts/electrifying-time/11326391
Now, this same girl (or the exact same pics as TER 124269) has a new name and phone number posted under:
http://losangeles.backpage.com/FemaleEscorts/electrifying-time/11326391

I just don't get it.

hmmm
