[QUOTE=AnonIndy;5895473]You may be right. However, I reached out to her travel buddy, Lexi. According to her, she and Jenni were only supposed to be in town Tue / Wed this week, and were leaving Wed PM. I believe they were advertising on PrivateDelights, and each had a lot of reviews. The LC ad you referenced appears to have been created the next day after they were supposed to be gone.
Someone could have easily scraped the contents of her ads and created an LC listing. If it wasn't a sting, it may have been an impersonation & robbery attempt. Of course, this is speculation. Maybe they extended their stay. But my spidey sense is tingling on this one.
Personally, I avoid LC like the plague. I'm sure there are legit providers but I've heard so many scam stories that I don't even bother. The few times I reached out in the past, I received a bunch of crazy texts from people threatening to blackmail me. Not much they can do with a burner number or my proton email address. Just my experience.
Edit: However, if they were/are still in town, the "roomate" excuse may have been Lexi. Maybe they were going to upsell a double? Maybe they were sharing a room? Both sound unlikely, but possible. We'd need Refuge1 to tell us if she looked like the photo.[/QUOTE]See the last sentence of the top of my post. Said I would be more concerned that it wasnt her at all (the impersonation). If you glance back at the old posts, that samer ad was posted daily since Monday.
There was a time years ago, I knocked on an adjacent room when I heard some concerning noise. Played it off as wrong room but I knew there was no vice set up in there.
