I watch Backpage pretty closely, and over the past couple of days there has been an invasion of questionable TS ads on the San Diego page.
None of the advertisers have any reviews on this board. Few of them have any meaningful Google hits, and none have any Google Image search results beyond an occasional ad. And all of them have area codes from outside of San Diego, and all use the same style of ad.
I smell an LE sting...it would be great if anybody could shed any light on ANY of these:
I searched a few of the numbers. All led to boyscorts with pictures of black men. This number, (202)763-8009, said "you will get robbed by two guys..." Probably not a LE sting and just your friendly fake add robbers.
