should I or shouldnt I

noticed a provider on cl that seemed ok, only advertises once a week. Had some email comm,which has been good, she is older so am I....works for me. just concerned she might be LE, although she has said she is independent honest etc etc via email. Has no website, or reviews here.

Do I walk away or take a chance.

Thanks

risk. There are TOO MANY established providers around to take unnecessary risks. Stay away from CL, it has a bad rep and is a favorite tool for LE setups.

I agree.There was this one girl on CL that was really smokin' lookin' and pretty so I called her and she said she doesn't screen her clients.Plus the price was kind of cheap for what she looked like.If its too good to be true it usually is.

If you have had ongoing communication it is a semi pro.  I've had great luck with them.  There is more risk but I would be inclined to go for it.

It could still be a rip off or bad service but I'd wager its for significantly less money that a well reviewed TER regular.  

If you feel a connection, I'd take the chance.

for a newbie it probably isn't worth the risk.

Now for you or me, that's a different story. I have met many new providers at extremely reasonable prices and some "semipros" as well, but we have the experience to know when something is "off".

Newbies should stick to well reviewed providers until they have enough experience to recognize when something is wrong.

I think that the chance is close to zero that its LE..  Could be cash and dash or someone with a pimp or something like that.  

Its safer to stick to TER reviewed pros and you're right that a newbie should pop their cherry that way.  I just think there is way too much paranoia about craigslist encounters.

stay with well reviewed providers.  BTW, get VIP & read the reviews.  It's cheaper than one spoiled date or wasted opportunity.  I suggest after you've done your hme work, read the newbie manual, scanned the other pages...  learn to use TER's search feature on the reviews.
You won't be sorry.

Good information to know. I post CL sometimes and I do because I get so frustrated trying to establish myself with reviews and learning the screening.
