which is why I always deal directly thru TER for my meetings, rather than online classifieds or boards.....

Here's the link to that newspaper story:

Don't they have better things to do? You know, like catching real criminals...

I wish I could see the ad, and I'd like to know if those guys had to be tricked into dialog like "Do you want sex for $__?", "Yes, I'll pay that".  Or if they just show up in response to a typical online escort ad and get arrested.  

I ask because I was thinking of answering some ads on backpage.  I don't see how they can arrest someone for saying that they only want to pay this woman for a massage and her time and company, which could be true

Is there any fool proof way to avoid these. Obviously I can think of using outcall rather than incall since they can't come to your hotel to setup equipment to trap you. I can also think of using agencies rather than responding to backpage ads and not using cheap ones. Typically you get what you pay for. I wouldn't go for anything less than 300 hour. See if the agency and the provider has reviews. Any comments by veterans appreciated. I am new at this and still learning tricks of the trade.

From New England, Canada is not too far, if you go to Montreal, prostitution is Legal there. But its a hassle and you can't go there frequently because of distance. But not getting bust is most important to you, you should consider this, especially if you have a good career and don't want to ruin it. I heard your employer can fire you if you get busted like this. Is this true?

I tried to warn people last week about a sting operation in rocky hill, but my post was rejected on the grounds that it contained "personal information".  The only personal information was the name of the hotel that the fuzz wuz watching.  CT mongers beware...this is becoming more common.
