I am going to be in Minneapolis next week and in regards to the earlier posts from last night and today, wondering how safe it is to hobby right now.  Is LE active?  Member here and do my homework, still have cause for concern?  Thoughts from any locals would be helpful, Thanks.

Nor I have heard of any recent stings but you never know when one will pop up.  I don't think it is any riskier than is normal lately.

This morning I read a post on TER about some poor guy who got caught in a Twin Cities LE sting last night and was in complete panic mode seeking advice, and now that string has disappeared. LE is always active here (especially in all suburps begining in a B and in Ramsey County) and may be in high gear based on that post that has gone away some where wtf?? I would be extremely cautious esp re Back Page girls. Best to stick with highly reviewed and reliable TER providers. Play safe!!!!

According to the local newspaper, Coon Rapids police conducted a sting at a motel on Nov 15 by placing an ad on Backpages.  Seven arrests were made.  Police said more sting operations can be expected in the future.

Thanks all for input, anymore is appreciated.  Normally stick with non BP.  I was also wondering about the post from the guy who was arrested missing???

his attorney told him to ask for it to be deleted.

Anytime you use backpage you run the risk of getting involved in some sort of a sting. Fake pics,poor service ,whatever, you can find it all on BP.  My advice ---c only providers that have reviews and advertise on TER and do a little homework. LE is active everywhere now. We are blessed here on TER with great ladies who are safe and secure. Think with the big head,have fun,be safe and be smart.

Seen the recommended girls on TER that have reviews and contact some guys that have seen them but never,ever see the Backpage girls. You will be playiny with fire if you answer their ads

the provider has legit reviews and asks you for references...

good luck!
