It scares the hell out of me. And how do they keep from being recognized by hotel staff?  

Being recognized by hotel staff??..Is the hotel staff browsing TER or EROS??

Haven't you ever seen "before and after" make up and hair photos of female celebrities and models?

Then tineye's them?
Do you have any idea how time consuming that would be?

I thought all escorts always wore lingerie..
Everywhere.

There have been occasions where I thought to myself, she doesn't look like the same women when I see her again. I would never be able to recognize a provider in the civie setting.
 

Told me that they've had hotel management refuse them because they recognized their photos. These aren't street walkers but girls in top 100 with stellar reviews.  

In Mass and NH. If you have a valid ID and can pay for the room upfront they HAVE TO rent a room to you. I think in Mass its a ID and CC.

some chains are very aggressive about cooperating with LE in this way

A skilled hacker can slap together a working system within a day.  
It isn't even all that expensive anymore either. Facebook has em.  Most phones and cameras have em.  

if you're scared of providers' pictures, then why are you even in the hobby in the first place?

But though the faces on today's photos aren't the most alluring as some of days past, I wouldn't go as far as to call them SCARY. Just sort of plain janes.

This is NOT smart by the girl, regardless of where she is in her life. She may be blackmail proof now, but her life could change in the future with a marriage, job, etc. For the girls own safety, she should not show unblurred photos.

I was contacted by an out of state provider visiting my area a couple of years ago....

simple -  

If every front desk clerk has an idyllic memory. Or if it's a requirement that each and every front desk clerk must review the photos on a daily or even more frequent basis. Dam, I wish I were a front desk clerk, imagine the bevy of hotties one must see, all decked out in their school girl outfits and sexy lingerie. C'Mon man, all a lady has to do is check in with little to no make up, perhaps wearing a ball cap.

and I am sure that this strategy does *not* catch the great majority for the reason you point out and in addition because in person she may not look all that much like her (possibly) glammed up images....

those images might become inconvenient in the long run regardless of the issue of security...  

...until that pre-screened guy decides to share those top secret photos with his hobbyist buddies.  

I agree that it's completly possible.
I just don't see it happening..

I've heard stories from plenty of ladies who have experienced exactly what he's describing. Hotel staff are told to look for women traveling alone (along with other signs), then they'll have ads printed out with ladies' photos and touring dates.

Eros does, too.  So can't copy and paste her private shots.

...and who cares what the hotel staff thinks or even knows for that matter. And BTW they do know. The extra towel requests alone is a giveaway. One gal I see said she heavily tips when asking for extra towels. Everyone is happy. During my last appt one of the hotel staff walked into the room. Not far enough to see us but so what if they did. My escort shouted out that she signed on for an extended stay morning or something like that and the person retreated. You must be from a small place and with an alias like Homewrecker you have good reason to be paranoid.

...most times you can copy those photos from an ipad. No such thing as a right click in the apple world.

I have no trouble finding out what a gal looks like.  It's called back channel.  It's good to have friends.

I've just come up with a great idea. When I travel, I can rent my accompanying services out to providers checking into hotels, and I'd be cheap, a blowjob. Brilliant I'll tell ya, I'm friggin brilliant. They can pretend pretend like I'm the boyfriend by saying honey where do you want to go for dinner, or Daddy, which ever works better. And I actually do accompany her to the room, to collect my fee, a blowjob, I know I already told you the fee would be a blowjob earlier, but I like blowjobs so much that I wanted to type the word blowjob a few more times. I like blowjobs so much that I can't niece I get any work done, oh crap I'm at work right now typing about blowjobs.  

and unfortunately even the most sensible and security conscious provider's best attempts at making this safe for herself and her clients can be undone by just one idiot....

Did errors from finger print matching end forensic science?  

paramount in this. I'm with you. I don't want to be recognized both for my own sake and for my client's sake.

You can always take a screen shot or snip it..  The "right click" disable doesn't keep it from being copied.  I would use the snipping tool for those types of images if I were so inclined.

I don't understand your handle. What does it have to do with escorts?

Just take a screen shot of the webpage and then paste it into an editor...there are free ones online and you still have the image.

My local provider went on tour about a year ago.  The local LE had checked out the local boards to see who was touring in that area and handed out pictures and info on them to all the local hotels.  About an hour after she checked in there was a knock at her door.  It was the hotel manager along with two cops.  They showed her the touring info that she had posted, along with her pics, and was asked to leave immediately.  She didn't get arrested but it scared the hell out of her and she is very UTR now.  No more tours and only sees clients she saw before her tour snafu.  Some hotels even do this on there own without any prompting by the cops.  They just call them when they need to remove a provider from the premises.

...as to why I stay so frequently. I highly doubt hotel staff in this county, especially this neighborhood are looking at escort photos. They would lose a TON of business. I have run into providers (that show their face) staying at hotels in this neighborhood three times, that's how popular this neighborhood is for P4P.  If I was playing in Gwinnett or Cobb county, I'd blur my face for sure.

This is a pimp

There is always a work around in the computer world. You can disable right click but a simple print screen captures the entire web page and then take your pick of image capture software to grab the pics into JPEG or whatever photo format you want. Time consuming...yup, but it just goes to show you that if it's out there it can be snagged. And I won't even get into the location data that's stored on photos. Yup.

I know here in Alaska the staff doesn't care.  EOM

and am in the media quite a bit.  My family knows what I do - I have no secrets and have never  
had problems.

We aren't talking about your nut sack?
Are we?
I definetly want to avoid that low hanging fruit!

Our hotels (upscale) barter with most LE Depts. They provide us with various levels of security and response time and we in exchange provide them with weekly client lists. These lists they use to compare with other hotels in the area who also use the barter system.  

From a business standpoint, a hotel manager should be glad to have you conducting your business there as long as you stay low key and don't make troubles to other guests.  Heck, if I were a hotel manger, i'd say f*ck the police.  They don't provide the hotel with a steady income.

Obviously the fuzz will want to make a big bust. Right?
Where do you think they look first?

Just like you keeping from getting recognized by the traffic cameras, in airports, and department stores.  

or at least none that I've done business with....

All front desks have this hidden button they press as soon as provider is checking in. Here comes the SWAT team.

it's the big chains that cooperate most with LE -  several have quite the reputation for being unsafe for this very reason - and they want it that way

As I said, I stay in a hotel Monday to Thursday every week. Same hotel so I don’t have to carry a suitcase back and forth every week. I see at least 30 to 40 single women, in the 20’s 30’s and 40’s every week. Most of them come down to the bar and I and other guys sitting in the bar had many interesting conversations. Some I have seen many times in the bar.

It goes with the territory Hound.  

instead of a cow poke city.

You are right, the Motel Six, Days INN, Comfort Inn, etc. are very big hotel chains. Number hotels/motels they have is far greater than, Marriott, Hilton, Sheraton, Embassy Suites, Ritz, and all other hotels 4 star or higher. Do you which chain has the largest number of hotels in the world?

But, the front desk doesn’t get to see them.

This is all very interesting, and it is unique to have someone with your level of knowledge sharing all this, but it leads to the inevitable question: what does LE do with all this information they have accumulated?  It seems as if most busts are BP related and that they do not seem to worry as much about (or at least arrest) out of state higher end escort-travelers even if they stay at 3 different local hotels over 4 days.  It sounds like they collect red flags, but what are the next steps they take, if you know?  Or am I wrong and they do arrest the people who they accumulated data on even if they are high end/well reviewed etc etc etc?

Walking around a hotel, checking things out a very suspicious activity. Walking around any building and checking it out is suspicious activity for any business.  

For a victim-less crime. I can understand if a woman is being coerced or trafficked. As far as I can tell none of the women I've seen are being coerced or trafficked, and if that were the case I wouldn't see them again as I don't care to be party to that.

Keeping a house of prostitution charge could cost the hotel it's liquor license. Smart management wants no knowledge of any P4P on premis. Once upon a time you could tell the concierge that you wanted an "extra pillow" for your bed. He would arrange a girl for you. Not anymore.

Good Q and Perspective.  

it is the high end chains that cooperate most closely with LE -   they are the ones who have the most to lose by stories getting out of prostitution going on in their hotels.   By cooperating with LE they can arrange quiet and quick removals of providers that don't make the news....

I don't want to give it away but there is a built in program on windows that gets you around the right-click protection. Can't figure out how to do it with protected video (like on broadcast tv. shows) but I've done it to test and it works on any image.

Thanks for the info, all.

Very well known hotel chain; not a cowpoke city by any means.  No BP ads posted either.  She posted on TER and another popular site that starts with an e.  LE and hotels definitely snoop sites to gather intel......

This person is just weird and confused, period.  He's just enjoying stirring up people's emotions.  IGNORE.  I normally would ignore but with how upset and paranoid some people are, I just wanted to point out what a waste this poster is.
 

Folks on this board frequently talk about busts and hotels cooperating, and y'all back it up with a story you heard from where? Do y'all have first hand knowledge of hotels with these practices (besides the hotel manager that posted), or have y'all met the providers that got busted? Or is this all second and third and forth hand (dis)info?

But she better be dating me!  

I google image check eros pictures all the time. It is super simple and does not require screen capture.

Someone who only has good memories?

Some hotel chains, with a national reputation at stake with its patrons, are on the lookout for touring escorts and do their own homework.  Some of these chains do it on their own volition and others work with LE.  Many hotel chains sniff out escort sites to get the 411 on touring escorts in their area.  Not hard at all for them to do.  This actually happens more than one would think.

I agree with what you said.
But I'd rather get busted with an Indy vs an agency..
Catch my drift? Hutch?

OK, here's where you lost me.  It's not illegal to be a slut that sleeps with men for free.  How does the hotel or LEO know there is money exchanged?  So what if I want to get a hotel within a mile of my home to fool around with a married man?  Affairs happen at hotels ALL THE TIME!  Two married co-workers might have a secret rendezvous 2 - 3 times a week.  A horney housewife might sneek around on her husband by picking up men (for free) and taking them to a hotel to bang.   None of this is illegal, so where do the "red flags" come from?

And there is always "print screen" and then Photoshop In non-apple computer systems

This information is used along with the local ads. Take a look at any escort story on 20/20, Dateline or your local news and you will notice that boards like this one, BP, P4, DC, EG, AFF, among others are very well known to Leo. Leo is on these boards more often that we are at times. All it takes is them comparing their "red flags" (with DL photos) to ladies who are advertising in the area. It's common sense on that part, really.  

First of all, hotels usually know when escorts are staying there.  There are lots of clues but hotels usually don't care as long as the girl pays her bills, keeps the noise down, and does not trash the room.  The hotels make a lot of money on escorting I am sure.

The hotel chain broke about half a dozen federal and a dozen state laws on privacy. You cannot voluntarily give out someones personal information to anyone.

or there aren’t any female flight attendants, sales reps, corporate executives, etc. All females other than providers are all house wives!

Without proof of money being exchanged for sex, they can not arrest you. So unless they have video of you giving her money, or left her a personal check; how would they prove this?

Your "cover story" gives far too much information, even if it's fiction.  The only thing you should say if questioned by LE is "I have done nothing wrong and I have nothing to say to you," "am I free to go?"

... and a refresher for those who have

Lying to cops is a crime, one often easily proven. If stopped they likely will not let you go until they verify who you are.

not realizing that indie busts outnumber agency busts by orders of magnitude.  

you sure do like to spin other peoples posts to fit your fantasy world lo

none of those disclaimers about "companionship only" will protect you  

street walkers and BP girls, so they distort the risk of seeing indies, especially if you limit yourself to well reviewed TER girls charging more than $300/hr.
And in that price range I'd say Agency girls are more risky.  LE gets much more bang for the buck going after agencies than they do going after discreet, high-end indies.
There have certainly been several high-profile agency busts in the past few years but very few of high-end indies.

The girls mentioned in it were NOT checking in to hotels on the stip.  They were working the lobby, bars and casinos.  The word used was they "frequented" the hotels, not that they were guests there.  Different thing entirely.

Do you  have any idea how much money I have riding on you for SPOTY, and do you have any idea how many SPOTY points you are losing by actually making sense for a change?

Let's see, between all the many posters chiming in on this thread, we have to have hundreds of thousands of individual hotel rendezvous collectively, has anyone EVER seen, been involved in, or have any first hand knowledge of the police ever kicking in the door "mid act" and making an arrest?

and can you imagine the public relations nightmare that would ensue for any hotel chain that was found to be compromising the privacy of their guests, not to mention the even bigger nightmare scenario of having the police busting in on a couple NOT engaged in P4P and the ensuing civil suit that would result.

Now please say something really stupid so we all know that someone hasn't hacked your account and that it's really you. lmao

If MK doubts me on this, simply check out the major agencies in any given city. you will find that many of the agencies use unblurred face pics, at least as large a percentage as indies.

I use both agencies and indies, depending on the city I am in. Some cities are great agency cities, like Atlanta for instance, and others are not. Dallas being a good example. I have to agree that agencies are the more visible targets, but they are only more at risk for the ladies that they employ IMO, and as a simple customer I am not worried that LE is going to kick the door down while I am "in the act" I also have no worries about LE tracking me down after busting an agency and obtaining their "little black book" of clients. Now if I were married or if being outed as a whore monger could adversely impact my life, i might be a bit more worried about that risk, but LE can't bust me for being on a client list, and being "outed" is hardly an issue for me as I've been out in the open for years.

simply being a hooker with an ad is not cause for arrest.  The hotel could kick her out, but I think you misspoke when you claim she was "busted" unless you would like to clarify your statement.

For the regular folks the face is blurred but it's easy to get access to the unblurred stuff.  A well known agency that was the subject of a major but last summer did this.  And all their info re Johns' names and phone #s was seized.  I haven't heard of a single guy being outed or busted.

They could, but in LV I'm pretty sure they don't care.  They just don't like obvious hookers working their public spaces because some of them are ROBs.  They could care less about hookers taking rooms.  But in LV, hookers mostly go to the trick's room.  Were you aware of this?  It makes me wonder if you've been to Vegas.

The manpower that you describe is more suited for a sting targeting johns that the resources that would be devoted to busting a single hooker. That would mean that the woman would have to be LE herself, not the subject of a sting. No police force in the country would waste the resources you are describing simply to attempt to bust one hooker because of an internet ad.

Nice try, but no cigar. I don't buy it for a minute. Even a moron like our little mushroom cap can smell the bullshit on this post.

They have some problems coming.

-- Modified on 8/23/2014 2:21:17 PM

They could also have busted him, too, because the simple fuck confessed to them.  Hence the advice given many times on this thread: if detained tell LE you have nothing to say, want a lawyer and STFU.

They busted her because some moron didn't have the good sense to STFU.

Just as I expected. your post was quite misleading, but you are right about one thing, You certainly don't understand the law, nor do many of the other chicken littles posting on this thread.

I have been at the lobby counter of several different hotels and witnessed first hand as a plain clothed policeman delivered a dossier of mug shots and names etc to the front desk clerk, with the tacit instructions to call in a tip if any of the profiled people checked in. From what I could tell, they seemed to be people who were "persons of interest" in on-going investigations, or else  had outstanding warrants.

Any client who followed your advice would be proven a fool the second the officer asked you to tell him your "design client's" NAME. You would get flustered and tell him "Susie Sugar-Tits" ie her PROVIDER NAME, NOT HER LEGAL NAME. The jig would be up right there. They would proceed to relentlessly badger you about why you don't know her REAL name, and the more you blushed and stumbled over your words, the more you would be incriminating yourself.

No, I'm not smarter than a fifth grader

...even for previous or screened clients because my mind immediately went to passing around the password OR screenshots being taken.
