Bear in mind that LE bust are extremely rare. This is not to say you shouldn't play as safe as you can, but I get the feeling you are paranoid about LE, and if you won't be able to relax and enjoy yourself, then what's the whole point of spending good money to just be scared the whole time?
More devastating, and a lot more common is getting found out by the wife. To that end, invest your time in reading on here how to avoid that from happening.
It's one thing to get busted and pay a fine.
It's a whole other thing to get divorced and pay alimony the rest of your life. (Which, by the way, describes my sad tale.)
Hi
I m a newbie and scared of LE. I read stories of busts and would like to protect myself. I see many reviewers/providers who have made a lot of friends and still active without any issues. What is your secret?
I would like to know how LE traces people and how I can avoid being busted. Also how do I know if some is working for LE.
Can you guys suggest some tips that make me safe and also help me enjoy the hobby.
Thanks
Bob
Read reviews and stick to well reviewed ladies. There is a lot less chance of an established lady with many reveiws here, to be an undercover cop or working with LE.
Read the self help center, which can be found on the main newbie page at the top right by the life preserver.
Read as many pages back on this newbie board as you can, as you will see this topic and others covered many times.
Don't TOFTT. Leave that to the experienced guys.
Avoid motels with doors that open to the parking lot. (if you see higher end ladies with lots of good reivews, chances are they will not be staying in such places.)

Very few people in the world know you as well as your wife. It's not that difficult for her to pick up any unusual activities. It's also not that easy to leave absolutely no evidence at all. Let's say each visit has 1% chance of getting caught and you do it once a month. In one year, your chance of getting caught is probably around 10%. Let's say you continue in this hobby then your chance of getting caught will be close to certainty in 10 years. I know my math may be off, but the theory is sound. Once you decide to enter this hobby, you should have all your affairs in order and be prepared to pay the price. In my case, I worked on my wife for the last 10 years so I estimate the chance of her forgiving me will be higher than 70%. If I am wrong then I'll be a homeless bum. IMHO, one should be scared so one will be vigilant. Just my 2c.
I realized early on my chances of being caught by my SO are higher than LE so what is your advice in this regard? I've read all of the obvious - drop phones, no unusual time lapses, tell provider to refrain from perfume. Anything else?
Big withdrawals are a dead giveaway.
Make frequent small cash withdrawals and get her used to the idea that you eat large lunches or entertain business associates, etc.
All the while squirel the money away in a safe place (NOT AT HOME) where it will be ready for you to use.
is the way you behave. Sometimes, it's hard to be normal when you try too hard to act normal while you constantly wonder if you miss something. The way that I handle is to do all the pre work before hand and not think about anything relating to my hobby when I am with my SO. If you SO becomes suspicious then you better stop all hobby activities for as long as necessary.
Reading reviews is a good start..unless you pick a provider with no reviews...lol I would say pick a room that has no a joining rooms! That way you can let the provider in and out..locking the door behind them!
If your really that worried about it...change your appearance before walking back to the car!
Slide a hat on or something...
but I don't spend it all. I don't keep it in my wallet or in my sock drawer with current funds. SO doesn't check but if she ever did... She never asks me for money but on occasion she'll need a small amount & will hand me my wallet to see what I have. Each check I take the same amount out. I don't do W/Ds just for a meeting. So I have a secure stash where I accumulate play money.
Have a hobby phore & keep it shut off when not on a date.
Hobby email.
Never access adult sites when others can walk in. Never access adult sites from company equipment or network (I just saw a guy fired this week for this.)
Keep your antispyware up to date & learn how to clean your devises. I bought SO her own computer to get her off my old one... then upgraded mine.
Never use Credit Cards somewhere you should not be.
