The legal issue of prior discussion through phone or text about Franklins and what they are for, then you show up. You wouldn't be in trouble if you never showed up. That's why over 200 contacted LE but only busted around 20. I've noticed a few times that I don't ask her how much, but some companions tell me, and I leave it at that. Suppose somebody showed up, your SOL. But a great DL would look at that and pick it apart.
About 411, I've read that some companions are pulling away from it, and you still will go thru the ladies' background check if a client wants to remain anonymous. The days of "no background checks" will end if you're going to see a "well-reviewed" companion. How long will it be before there are no advertising sites left? I just read about when Gina owned 411 and what happened with privacy. So some escorts need to trust 411.
There are some positive outlooks about changing FOSTA, but the groups that started it are moving forward. But I remember when FOSTA began, there were some considerably named wealthy individuals that we're backing it; if you think they will not get any more cash.
If she is new, it might take 1 or 2 guys to TOFTT before anybody else will go. But the way the legal climate is, will you be the one to take a chance?
Communication: This is not 100% foolproof, especially if it's the first contact after it might be safer. But it depends on if the escort tightens up her end of security. I mentioned before it was many years ago with an agency that they and I had a "code word" set up. I could throw a word or two in most conversations, and they would answer correctly. One time I didn't recognize the person on the other end and mentioned the code...nothing. He asked what am I looking for. I said something about fishing.
But what I was thinking...your opinion matters. In messaging/texting, I'm slowly moving away from SMS into more secure/E2E after, after the first date, and I wanted to have other dates
