[QUOTE=Lorenzo; 1625573]I know I'm not the person you addressed the question to, but this is a matter that I feel very strongly about, so I'm going to put in my two cents worth, for what it's worth; forum readers can take my suggestions or leave them as they see fit.
Here are my suggestions on how to avoid LE stings:
-If you're seeing a girl for the first time, go only to girls who have been recommended by veteran posters on this or other forums. Yes, the recommendation itself could be part of a sting, and you should be suspicious if a first time poster enthusiastically recommends a girl. But note that I said veteran posters. Look at the number of posts that he has and what they say. If the poster is an experienced monger and describes experiences with a number of girls, the recommendation is probably legitimate. If you follow this recommendation, you probably won't need the others.
-When you call, text, or email the girl to set up an appointment, NEVER bring up the subject of sex with her. Just ask her what her rates are. Let her bring up the subject of sex. If she brings it up, and especially if she describes specific sexual services, it probably isn't a sting, because this would constitute entrapment. You might want to open the door by asking "what kind of services you offer," but let her bring up the specifics.
-When you arrive, have the money you agreed on in an unsealed envelope and lay it down on a conspicuous place, say a table or dresser, but never mention it. Limit your conversation to pleasantries and small talk. What happens next will vary from girl to girl, but she will most likely look at the money to see if it what was agreed on and then put it away. She will then tell you to "make yourself comfortable," which is code for "get undressed and get in bed," which you should proceed to do. She will then most likely follow suit, and then you can just do what comes naturally. If she is really an undercover cop, she of course won't undress or get in bed with you, but there will be no grounds for a bust either. This doesn't mean that it isn't a scam, and she may tell you that the BP ad stated that the offer was for companionship only. Britney's Escorts has done this in the past. In this case you will just be out the money and can consider yourself as having TOFTT. If you have a good time with the girl, consider making her one of your regulars. Once you have a bunch of regulars, you won't need to go through this shit.
-Unless you are married or otherwise have reason not to want girls coming to your home, consider limiting yourself to girls who do outcall. An undercover cop will never come to your home, just as a cope posing as a streetwalker will never get in your car; in both cases this could be considered entrapment.
Also bear in mind that LE stings, especially in Richland County, are extremely rare and seem to happen only once every few years, and when they do happen are usually limited to guys trying to pick up streetwalkers. This is the first time I have heard of LE using BP for a sting, and it is somewhat unsettling. But you are far more likely to be the victim of a scam, I. E, when the girl takes your money and does nothing in return.
I hope these tips help. Other forum members, please feel free to offer tips of your own.[/QUOTE]Great info. Can't add a thing to this. Just a few other tips for safety and privacy. Always use a pay as you go or prepaid phone, never carry your wallet in, and wait til you're absolutely certain (numerous visits or whatever it takes) until you share personal info like personal phones numbers, emails, work place, etc. I made that mistake years ago and it cost me $$ to make it go away. Extortion can happen in this business if the girl has a means to contact you and is desperate.
