I'm a newbie doing some research.  I have yet to come across any red flags/warnings on any sites that this or that ad is LE.  Whys that?

only see providers who have many reviews from guys who have posted many reviews. Usually the local boards will out bad agencies but as a general rule here again only use those whose ladies are well reviewed, and again by guys who have many reviews. It is always possible that LE will turn a good provider but it is fairly rare. And whatever you do stay away from CL.

BTW, your question is better suited to the newbie board.

Stay safe & have FUN!

Most of the time LE seems to focus on the street-walkers and their johns. looking for Providers on the boards seems to fall into the escort bracket which LE tend to let be.
But...Be careful!
look for adds or providers that have a history of posts. try to avoid the one time adds with really good pictures (fake or traps). if you do go to meet, keep your mental antenna up or as we call in in the service Situational Awareness.

But your very best bet is to visit a provider who has been reviewed or has a up and running website.
You're more likely to have fun if send the time finding quality.

That is where you need to be most careful with LE.  They are the online equivalent of the streets, and best avoided if you are a newbie or veteran.  In general, well reviewed (multiple pages, many by experienced reviewers) providers here are relatively safe from LE stings, though nothing in this life is 100% certain.  Red flags are hard to determine, but few or no reviews here are yellow flags for both LE and other things that should make you think twice before contacting...

Very good advice from the above posters with exception to one comment.  " only see providers who have many reviews from guys who have posted many reviews. "  Yes, it's important that they have some reviews but many?  What about the providers such as myself that are low volume?  We're still just as legit as the provider with dozens of reviews.  So please don't skip over us if you see only one page of reviews.

and would stand by my advice. Without getting into defining "many" I was thinking 6+ but more important reviewed by who? We've all seen B&S queens with a half-dozen, all from 1-review "guys". With a bit of experience he can start to parse the nuances of the reviews. I wouldn't hesitate to see you myself (love your site BTW).

don't get too comfortable. LE doesn't inform when they change how they do things. What with all this GFE going around all it takes is for one popular,well-reviewed provider to get some std and then the  masses will become infected. And then the saints come marching in. Get smart people, GFE is NOT some bargain. It is a foolish practice for those who supply it and those who demand it.

Well said. I'm pretty low volume myself, so I only have a page of reviews, but at the same time, some of them are well known in my area, so I guess that's a good sign to guys. That and I showed up at the LA M&G so they know I must at least care about my services to some degree. (That's my logic. hehe.)

Katie

because it reminds me to click through to your site & remember how hot & sexy you are.  Wish you were here in NY. You're obviously very bright and that makes you twice as sexy.

Have a very Happy New Year

I agree with thoughtfull but we also want you here in Mpls.  Please submit DNA to your local cloning facility.  

... I'll be glad to book some sessions with Katie in your name!

as long as they're not all from first time reviewers. Your reviews are a healthy mix of new and experienced reviewers. I would give your one page of reviews just as much credence as a provider with dozens of reviews.

How's that for a spanking? lol

We have a new expert on the subject. Havetopay on his/her very first post has shown me the light. I am going to give up this dangerous and immoral hobby immediately.

"what with all this GFE going around??? Foolish practice????  What in the world are you 'trying' to say?????  Are you sure you know what GFE is??  Get smart people??? Me thinks it is not 'the people' that need to get smart. JMHO
