was raided last night by a joint task force of Sheriff and PPD.  It is alleged that all records, computers, etc. were seized.  Let me point out that as of this post "THIS IS NOT TOTALLY CONFIRMED" but the source is very reliable.  Be safe out there.

One less cash n dash operation out there. Bout time.

This is the prime time of the year when they move on those complaints and reports of robbery and whatnot they have been investigating all summer, just ahead of the tourist season.

There will doubtless be other CnD agencies raided before it's over-they get really complacent when they think they aren't being watched and stick their heads too far up into the mainstream for the comfort of the powers that be.

Which makes it easy to round them up.

Good. That makes for safer hobbying for all-especially the uninformed and uninitiated who are the primary targets of these kinds of agencies.

I have always maintained, and historical evidence in this town backs it up, you generate more trouble robbing and scamming people than providing.

Smart agencies stay diligent. ESPECIALLY when there's little obvious reason to do so.

Smarter agencies (and independents) just deal honestly with their clients in the first place.

Tends to generate fewer police reports that way.

The smarter you are, the longer you last.

Be smart-be safe.

Correction...It is AZCollege Girls. My information was slightly off and I apologize to AZOutcall & Loverboy for mis-stating what the person said and not contacting & verifying myself.

From what I gather, they were hit in the afternoon/evening yesterday as I received the first call at 11pm when I stopped answering phones. Upon checking VM this morning, I called back and requested that they are sure of the names that they go by, and she said yes.

Well....I called both, and AZOutcall is still answering, but could be a set-up, so be very weary of whom you speak to.

Again, my apologies to all.

Today a search warrant was served on Amazons on 7th street.  Suspected of prostitution books, records and electronic equipment was seized.  This on the heels of Az College Girls getting raided last night.  It has begun in earnest.  Everyone be careful out there.

Gentlemen:  Don't use provider/agencies without references.
Ladies:  Really check identities.  If you're not sure who you're dealing with, don't take the appointment.  With outcalls, even after checking, ask for ID before you do/say ANYTHING. Take along a six-pack of beer, and when the door opens, identify yourself as the beer deliverer and ask for ID to make sure he's old enough.  If your instincts smell trouble, leave.

Read that D.A.R.E. has been shutdown in Phoenix. Now Phoenix wants to get in on Sheriff Joe's favorite round-up pastime.

Just another reason to NEVER allow reference checks.

Never allow reference checks?  My post advised providers to be extra-careful with reference checks.  A hobbyist who refuses to give reference information is the legal equivalent of one who demands uncovered service:  An Unacceptable Danger to Both Parties.

CoyoteFan is a famous proponant of the "reference is no security, so why bother" idea.

I agree with you Lawman, if the heat is on, the ladies should be more careful.  Of course, this means that those of us who indulge must be willing and able to provide references.
