I saw this article recently in relationship to the never ending LE stings on Long Island NY....why people still go is a surprise to a girl who's lived in NYC for 7 years and still only "visited" Long Island once but that's not the point here.

I have to say the article even skeeved me out. I often think about hotel staff who have to clean up or deal with less than tidy or respectful guests so therefore always make a point to be very clean, very quiet and tip-heavy. Regardless of all that I do, I still earn "the look" from staff members and have always said to myself when they do, "they know". Upon mentioning this to "friends" in passing they always tell me "No Way! - the staff doesn't know. How could they?". Well this pretty much proves to me that they do know.

Time for everyone to be more careful, clean and to always check those refs girls!!!! Above all, follow those instincts! I was sitting home alone with noting to do this past Saturday when an email came in from LI (Garden City!!!) from a gentleman who said he was deaf and couldn't use the phone (nor did he have TTY - red flag No. 1). He had all sorts of strange protocol he wanted me to follow - all the while he was dangling that green carrot in front of me. I have no idea who he was but he didn't have a reference or a hobby history (red flag 2 & 3) which is when instinct reared it's head and told me to listen. I stayed home.

I've had agencies tell me that hotel staff has proactively called THEM and warned, "There's a new manager here, we'll call you when we know it's OK" and other girls tell me they always ask for a particular manager when they check in because he's in the know about what's going on.

CL is way to dangerous right now.

...you can see that the reporter was dying to mention some of the "other sites" in addition to CL.

Wonder who they mean?

Just curious...why is Craigslist getting all the attention?  Other sites such as eros have been around much longer.

There are some very well reviewed ladies that advertise on CL... I wonder why (other than the obvious). The rookies and the e-pimps that run their ladies as if they are indys is laughable. Talk about red flags... CL is the armpitish pothole of the internet. Stay away... cheap twang is almost never satisfying or safe (I mean that is a couple of ways). Take care and stay out of CL... don't even browse the ads.

It's a lowlife site, and always has been. Thanks Laney for bringing to light the facts here. CL has been targeted in multiple states by LE. (Sure other sites have been as well, BUT CL is the pond scum of escort sites).

when in a hotel, keep a very low profile.  Call as you are in the parking lot to avoid calling in the lobby or as you are walking into the hotel.
Walk directly to the elevator....
Know that many ladies put the do not disturb sign on the door, so if you've made the call, you can knock on the door.
If you bring a present, do it in a non-noticable manner.... (I carry a ruck sack for just such purposes.
Upon leaving say your good-byes and then open the door- do not stand in the doorway oggling the lady -way not cool.
If there is wrapping paper etc,take it with you so that the lady does not have to stash it...
If you go out and take a cab, TIP the bellman if he gets you a cab.  In fact, if you get anything in the hotel, tip.

All are just common sense...  and all will help you keep a low profile.

because more people know CL.

Pond Scum is putting it lightly.

When I posted on CL regularly, I would get responses such as,

"BABY, I WANT TO EAT YOUR ASS OUT."

"WHAT DO I GET FOR MY DONATION?"

"DO YOU CAR DATE ?"

"I WANNA PLAY WITH YOUR BACKDOOR"

" Can I see your pussy pics?

And for BBW's like me, it was VERY difficult to get clientèle. I got stood up so many times, it was ridiculous.

Guys would ask me if I have incall...when I specifically stated no incall

I nearly got arrested by an undercover a month ago. Lucky for me, a friend got me out of that situation.

New Hobbyists and Provider: Stay as FAR AWAY from CL as possible. Avoid it like it's the plague!

Anyone who uses CL, use at your own risk. You're playing Russian Roulette with your freedom.

When I'm around a hotel, I sometimes just have a pretend conversation with my turned-off phone until I am down the hallway or in the elevator.

Someone called me like that back in the day when I used to give my number out. I told the TTY operator that they must have the wrong number. There's no fucking way I will negotiate or talk about ANYTHING that's being typed and listened to back and forth. Pfft. Maybe that means the deaf have to go elsewhere but it creeped me out.

Boy and girls... really, come on.  Especially at big convention hotels in cities they see 50 girls a day come in with no luggage and leave an hour later.

Or it's 11:30pm and the valet asks if you will be needing your car overnight... that's the code that they expect a $20 tip when you leave. Sometimes I really want to say, "Nah, I'll just be an hour..."

Or you are trying to act like you belong, but you're  wearing a mini and 5 inch heels and can't find the elevator...  

It's not rocket science for the staff to figure out what's going on.

Like the other day at a big hotel.  We got lost on the floor and passed the same maid twice looking for the room - which was like 20 feet away and we had to stand there while she tried to pretend she didn't see us till he answered.  I felt like such a whore...

Giggle,
