Long time lurker, first time poster, with a warning:

Avoid Brooke (24 years old), a UofA student whose car broke down in flagstaff.

Ad from Escortalligator looked legit, replies seemed normal, contact easy to make, and girl who answered door at Motel6 looked very much like the girl in the pix.

After giving the donation, the door knocked with a guy saying "security, open up". He then fussed about 3 guys coming over today and her smoking in a non smoking room.

He then spied a meth pipe and said he was calling the front desk (which he did on speaker phone and a lady said she was calling the police).

It seemed sketchy, but I did not feel like fighting the security guy (he was big, but out of shape and I'm young and fit and would've pounded him good had it escalated.), so I bailed.

She claimed that he and her weren't together and she had to bail in order to avoid arrest, but I'm pretty darned sure I got shaken down by these two.

Anyway, be careful out there!

I'm savvy and experienced in the hobby, kinda surprised to have been robbed, but oh well.

PM me for pix, my browser won't let me update.

Since the boards in Flagstaff aren't as active as I'm used to seeing, I thought I'd entertain myself and others on this board by reaching out to some of the obvious scammers, then report the results. This wasn't easy because, like most of you, finding the time to waste can be challenging. I stayed away from the more obvious ads that use phrases such as "fuck your own style" or that mention specific acts. But I couldn't resist the ironically titled Ad "100% Legit". I mean, who could resist partaking in such irony? Anyway. I reached out and to my surprise, I got a response. Quoted $200 for an hour (I knew for sure my spidey senses were right when I saw that number). But it didn't take long before I got asked to send money. Apparently, this particular scammer is lazy. See attached screenshots of ad and text exchanges. If I get some time, I'll do a few more. Maybe not in the Rip-off section since I wasn't actually ripped off. Either way, I find it's helpful to do some basic recon, then share. Even if it's only to prove what we basically already know.
