Q.[/QUOTE]Oct 2017 was before the BP shutdown. So that means the sting was probably done by posting several BP ads and then busting clients as they arrived.
While that's nothing new, and online ads are always something LEO can use, the fragmented nature of the current market makes that tactic less effective.
From the hobbyist side of things, the current environment means that even more homework is needed to counteract the increased risk.

The story is from Polk County home of the infamous Sheriff Grady Judd. Every informed hobbiest down here knows NOT to consider unverified providers from that county. Sheriff has a particular hardon for providers and hobbiests. He's a total grandstanding a-hole. His county is overrun with meth and other really serious crime but he focuses on this because its easy and plays well on TV.
Anyone, know what the verification is and how accurate it might be? Please share.
[QUOTE=Justforme;3885588]Anyone, know what the verification is and how accurate it might be? Please share.[/QUOTE]Not sure about CityG, but I learned from on a provider that the "verified" label on Eros just means you paid an extra fifty bucks (in addition to the base price) to have that advertising slapped across your profile pictures. You also pay extra to be advertised in a particular category, I. E. , busty, mature, redhead, etc. Based on these considerations, I wouldn't put much stock on a "verified" stamp on those ads.
Thanks.
I was not putting much into it just wanted to see if anyone knew for sure. So much BS out there.

Jeeze, $30 a date? Latino men only? There should be a law against that :)

Jeeze, $30 a date? Latino men only? There should be a law against that :)[/QUOTE]Anyone remember the Latin Palace in Maryland and DC? Way back in the day, the woman who ran it took a liking to me, and set me up on the Latin side of the business. A lot of the same girls who saw gringos for $80 in decent apartments would rotate over to the Latin rabbit-house apartments, which had 2-3 beds set up in a room, divided by blankets hanging from clotheslines. For a couple of years, I was stopping by once or twice a week for $30 short stays.
I always tipped the girls extra, and sometimes I'd flip the guy at the door a five or ten, so I was treated well. The better-looking ones made it over to the gringo side, while the not-so-great ones didn't, but for $30, I'd take the best available, and it was all good.
At some point, the people who ran it got jammed up, and when I went to the apt. , it was dead. I got hooked up to a similar operation through a backchannel connection a few years later, but it folded, and I've been out of that loop for at least 12-14 years now.
From the article:
"The sales director for [URL]Backpage.com[/URL] pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges on Friday, saying that he was involved in a scheme to give free advertising to sex workers to try and keep them away from competing platforms.
The Associated Press reported that Dan Hyer, 49, faces up to five years in prison and a maximum fine of $250,000 as part of his plea deal. Federal prosecutors will in turn dismiss 50 charges of facilitating prostitution and 17 money laundering charges against him. ".

The whole original purpose of the charges was the new statute alleging BP was facilitating prostitution and sex trafficking, particularly child sex trafficking. Another example of a conviction of a tertiary charge rather than a charge based on the actual principal statute used to prosecute.
[QUOTE=Maxx0;3833266]Regarding item #3, we all know that police can and do lie, its allowed and widely used to gather evidence on hunches or to meet some other agenda. I was in a situation where police were at an AMP when I arrived, greeted by the police was not expected, they asked for my I.D., I replied with why and no intent to provide it, the officer stated this location is known to be involved in illegal activity, I replied with I have been here many times and have had legit massages, which was true, I did not say all, but some were (LOL), he suggested I leave and not come back, I departed that day to return another. I never admit guilt to police and certainly would not jeopardize an AMP to them either.[/QUOTE]Simply talking is what gets people in trouble. That's why popo asks do you not what you did wrong or do you know why I pulled you over, if you've ever been pulled over, or where is it. Most people will admit to a crime by simply talking or trying to rationalize that they were only going 1 mph over, which is still speeding. Popo is trained to let you self-incriminate.
