General Reports

[QUOTE=AntBz;6322879]Thanks for referral. Am I missing something? Are you saying the way to fix connectivity issue is to buy a new phone from a man named Mo? Based on a recommendation from Ashley? It might have worked but wouldn't a cheaper fix be a VPN that downloads for free? Maybe I missed something but the apple store said VPN.[/QUOTE]Yes you are missing something it's called Anonymity.

Recently in the news police Revealed A stalker had visited the house Twelve times Before he went in and murdered 4 people. If your real phone is on you it can be tracked and you can be identified regardless what function you were using when you were in the area and made the phone call or text.

This is a real life case scenario in our city.

In November a well known provider in Grand-rapids was arrested for prostitution and FAILURE TO REPORT A DEAD BODY.

LE has the capability to search her phone and see who texted or called her on that day. If you used your real phone in anyway they will find you to ask questions. If they find your fingerprints or DNA in the room they'll have more questions. Unless you wear a hat with sunglasses, gloves and remove your condum out of the room before you leave, there will be a lot of evidence including hall cameras that you were in that room that day.

My new hobby phone was registered at the store I purchased it at with my fake FB hobby name and email.

I registered it with my hobby name so providers have a name to see. Many providers do not answer calls or text without a name. I have a lot of providers on my FB list that I haven't seen yet, they will remember my name and answer quicker than a blocked name.

Oops just gave away one of my best methods of contacting new providers or bringing them back after leaving the hobby.

I will trust my ground game experience of taking one for the team with over 100 new providers during the last 10 yrs over the new technology making it easier to track me any day.

Buy a hobby phone, do not register it at home using your Wi-Fi. Register the phone in a restaurant or the place I bought mine.

Learn to hide the phone, don't be stupid and stay safe.

Limit communication to when and where, use a simple texting solution that has no physical manifestation, remember your password, and close the browser / app every time. And sleep well.

[QUOTE=Benz1;6321461]Contacted Ashley Winter for some advice, she said go see Mo!

Since Ashley recommended him, I could explain everything I needed and why. Just incase clients are in the room I can make it easy on everyone.

Owner of Boost on Plainfield said he'll give the same deal to all my Frenz.

Just say you're Frenz of Benz. And he'll know exactly what you need.[/QUOTE]I ventured over to see Mo. It was an interesting conversation. I may retell it. But it may have to be told in the pugilistic thread. The experience was revealing. I have to figure out how much of it I should share.

Cliffhang.

k me any day.

Learn to hide the phone, don't be stupid and stay safe.[/QUOTE]That wasn't my point. Security and anonymity are vital. And hobby phone is one solution. But connectivity issues some have with phone even hobby phone can be solved by free VPN download. No need to walk into specific phone store with password and buy new phone. If you already have working phone try free solution first. Save money. That is the point.

Mo was out to lunch with Larry, when I stopped by. Apparently they needed to discuss whether or not to have an intervention on Curly! Shemp, although a great guy, was not authorized to give me a Frenz Deal. He suggested coming in another time when Mo was available.

Frustrating.

Frustrating.[/QUOTE]Damn NJ. You are way too quick again. You got the direction I was planning for an entertaining story. All involving the escapades of Mo and his partners. Lots of slapstick.

Once again you've bested me. Now I have to regroup and see if a different story arc can be created.

Well done NJ. Well done.

Savor.

Never meant to cause a stir by saying I fixed it for me. We all have different arrangements that make us feel safe and sleep at night.

I sleep best knowing my phone is and always will be traceable but not traceable to me, paid cash and registered it in my hobby name.

Good night.

G2.[/QUOTE]Should be an interesting story. I wondered if anyone would actually go and ask for Mo. Seems to me it would be a bit out there to see a guy I don't know on the recommendation of a guy I don't know to get a secret phone to access the hobby needs. Just wouldn't feel discrete to me.

It's easier not to share, Maybe next time I won't.

Just set up my account with VPN for a free 3-day trial.

If I go beyond 3 days I have to give them credit card information that can be tracked to me.

If I buy a Visa prepaid card it can still be tracked to me because I have to register that card before I can use it on the internet. If I swipe it at a store it doesn't need to be registered.

Please tell me where is the anonymity.

Hey everyone!

I was surfing around on the USA guide and reading reviews from other areas. I enjoy seeing what others are talking about throughout the country, and I like clicking the links and seeing the local providers. Anyway, I came across a link that took me to sumosearch. They have a Grand Rapids area and I was looking through it. However, it looks like many of the posts are fake. Some look real but some TGTBT with a lot of broken English.

Besides Skip the Games what other sites do you guys use? I seem to always see the same providers and I assume that I am missing out!

Thanks all!

Some websites require CCs for membership or to search / contact other members. They can also ask for a name and billing addr presumably to help determine validity of CC#. Gift Visa / MC cards may be an anonymous work around for your personal CC, but can anyone offer advice on a name / addr workaround? I'm looking for simple. Don't want to get deep into the weeds with some sort of alternate I. D.

Thanks all![/QUOTE]I know everyone has had good experiences and has had bad experiences with every site that has been used. Lets hope this discussion does not devolve into a pugilistic exercise. .

I used escortalligator when I was visiting Portland, Oregon and found a provider that hit all but two of my checkboxes, so I went for it. Remarkably, she was exactly as pictured and one hundred percent as advertised. No upsells! In fact, after concluding our closed-door session, we became friends and keep in touch with each other. I would repeat in a heartbeat.

There were less than stellar experiences with that site, too. I had to threaten one aggressive a $$hat with federal exposure (since we had not discussed anything illegal but they had) which brought that to a stop.

So, long story short, YMMV.

I see people use tna (but membership is required) on many of the Seattle area posts. My observation is that anyone on there is overpriced. Just my personal opinion.

There is a backpage-like site that I look at for amusement only. I've found scams on skipthegames that posted on the ersatz backpage or EA. It is quite an interesting exercise but it takes time and your computer may be open to pages you don't want to be seen by passers by.

The advantage of looking at all these sites together is that you will find scams by comparing the photos and phone numbers. Discontinuity of phone numbers but same pictures is a red flag. Many of you have other examples of red flags and I hope to learn from other's experiences.

I did score well using usasexguide in Las Vegas and Seattle. It was a naughty vacation that utilized 9 providers in five weeks (and tested clean six weeks after returning).

Good question.
