With so many incall busts and scores of decoys hunting down johns in the SW areas now, it is inevitable that decoys will come to online providing.  However, if you only book with providers you know or who have MULTIPLE reviews from KNOWN hobbyists, you will be completely protected from decoy vice here.  Unfortunately, "taking one for the team" may soon become a thing of the past.

what is meant by SW area?

Go well reviewed Indy for your safest option....

A hobbyists has to know what questions to ask but it is still possible, and will be for a long time, to meet newbie providers in this business. LE setups are a fact of life, if a person stumble into them, those people are going to get taken. There are a number of signs that I look for when viewing an ad, checking out the lady's contact information and when talking to her over the phone. By the time her and I meet face to face, I am 100% sure that she is the real thing. My vastly improved skill in meeting newbies has been a result of the information and observations that I have picked up on this site, so your observation about it being an enormous resource is correct, I just disagree with your general conclusion about meeting newbie providers.
