Now lets not discredit CL, after all, I sold my washer and dryer and automobile by posting on the for sale section

All kidding aside and regarding gg or ts providers that advertise here.  My rule of thumb is I never ever go see a provider if I see the ad on craiglist for the first time and........

1. No reviews exist under that name or number.
2.  Sometimes, they will also have an eros ad under another name, so I'd check for reviews there.  
3. If you google the number and pages and pages of old expired ads come up under multiple names with different pics.....

If any combination of the above occur, its time to think with the big head and pass on the opportunity.

For whatever reason, maybe the economy, the fake crap getting posted there has gotten way out of hand, almost making it a worthless site.

Little question but what CL is rife with fakes, scams, and disappointments. Still and all, there are some gems to be found. The real appeal for me is the lack of the "formal business" aspect that most Eros, RS2000, etc providers wear like a coat of armor.

The CL provider is very likely to be a part-timer, or occasional provider who genuinely needs the money to suport a real lifestyle that doesn't involve luxury condos, or cars carrying three pointed stars on the hood.

Lastly, hands-down, the best GFE experiences I have had involve CL providers. Then again, I am a believer in "You get what you give", which is often a much larger factor than most would recognize.

Just another 2 cents on the topic.

with TER.  If there's no review, just don't do it.  I'm slowly learning this lesson myself.
