I was browsing through the BP ads and noticed this one that caught my eye.  She listed her TER ID# in the ad.  I pulled it up to check her out and saw that she had no reviews since mid 2005. Also the email was info@(a busted florida agency).  So what do you think?  Looks like she got out before the bust, but I would imagine her info was recovered and that she might be monitored for more activity.

No reviews since 2005 is reason alone. However, if she had several good recent reviews, and there was a good explanation of having put the fallout from the bust behind her, I might consider seeing her.

If she's independent, *maybe*. If she's still using the agency email? No way!

She might not even realize the agency is listed as her email contact.  Like I said in the OP.  She hasn't had a review in over 5 years.  Might have taken a break and is using her old profile # in good faith.  Might not even know the agency has been busted if she has been away from the hobby.

She might have been caught up in the sting... might have flipped... might be setting you up... might not be her behind the door... just sayin... is it worth the risk to find out?

she lists her TER ID without knowing what skeletons come tumbling out.

Not something I was thinking about doing.  I just found it interesting that she would give out such outdated info instead of just trying to start out with a clean slate.  Of course I guess then a previous client could have outted her.

Once I learned first hand that a key motivator for LE in choosing who to target (in the hobby) is RICO-based seizure of assets (what they take is funny money for them to play with), I avoid anything than can be labeled (falsely or otherwise) a criminal enterprise.
