Hey, I noticed duplicate emails (to a tee from 3 different providers). When I checked the information, it popped up on other CL cities that had major stings. I also noticed around the end of may there were only a few service providers (Maybe 6 total) but now lots of postings. I sent a couple of requests for info and when it smelled fishy I told them I was looking for a massage only (for 1.5) and they did not reply back. Is it the way I am asking or is LE stinging CL.

Since when was the risk of having an encounter with LE new to Craigs List??? CL is a hotbed for ripoffs and bad hobby experiances, just look at the rip off reviews on this site. It is also a place that LE operates on a regular basis.

Alot of providers can no longer post they dont accept prepaid credit cards only real credit cards and big brach bank cards.

as for as 3 diff emails to 3 diff providers that dosent sound right.

if you sent a email i cant answer to that im a provider and i dont responde to them for many diff safty reasons...
but yes that does sound fishy

If the gals you are looking at on CL is not well reviewed on here or similar site, stay away.

Especally now when there is so much news about CL and the recent Boston murder in the news.

Cl is known for busting both hobbyists, and providers....there may be a few good ones in the bunch, but it'll be hard! Use trusted sites like TER, Date Check, P411, etc....

Dude, if you find the same email address in multiple cities, that's not a sting. Law Enforcement across the country are not joining together and sharing email addresses!

What you stumbled across is the typical CL "spam" ad. Same ad in multiple cities, same phone number in multiple ads in multiple cities, the ad vaguely worded so you cannot tell if she is "really" in your city or not. Once you reply, you either hear nothing, or eventually get asked to join some crap website for "free" - just provide your CC number for "verification!"
