well this looks like a new trick, but did anyone notice the subtle title...the person placing this ad is fairly computer saavy as they used special symbols that looked like letters..§ instead of the s..try to figure out how to reproduce it..not too easy..(alt key plus number lock)...my guess is that was done on purpose to avoid any tracking of the ad..how else do you explain this bimbo putting something this advanced in the ad..would be wary as sounds like scam...

Am I missing something?  Those special ALT+(numeric code) characters are as old as the hills and have  been rampant on backpage ads forever.  She also uses € to look like an "E."    I just thought people used those to try and stand out from the crowd.

That being said, it could be a scam, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out the ALT codes. They are not "advanced" at all.   Any preteen probably knows how to create them.

No, this is not a "new trick".  Those characters are rampant all over craigslist and BP.  There's this little thing called "copy and paste" that allows people to copy those characters without knowing their alt-key combinations.  There are also sites dedicated to creating "ascii art" based on text you type in.

I'm not saying the ad is legit.. no idea.  But if you discount special characters, you throw away half the ads.
