I'll state one of my rules again
[QUOTE=NCHobbyist69;3297759]A buddy of mine who is connected with everyone's favorite uncle tells me there is something going on at ye ol' super 8 by crabtree. Might be spreading to other locales this week, stick with who you know and be careful out there.[/QUOTE]I never go to Glenwood Ave.

I don't think you are paranoid. Had a similar run in recently where I gotten a particular number, upon texting the number I received a blank message 1st, followed up by a Andress. I paid no mind to it. Well let's just say I got pretty busy that day so was unable to follow through. The next day I call the same number. I was told by whom picked up that they will text me. Once again I gotten a blank text then followed by a address. I thought this was suspicious. Me being me I decide to go to the addy giving to me which was a hotel. Let's just say I never followed through with it due to me running across a UC Jake in lot right next to the location with his engine running. Call it paranoia I call it intuition.
[QUOTE=MrNCbob;3311493]So this might just be paranoia and definitely conspiracy BS but it ties in with my recent posts and review about a provider that waited until 5 minutes before our appointment to ask me to tell her specifically what I wanted to do. It sounded like a set up question but I stayed silent, then she cancelled all together. I recently received a message from a person telling me all types of detail about why a UTR provider needed help finding clients and why he was helping her. It was a detailed message. I replied and said I was interested as long as I can get a second reliable verification or if she would send me a photo that Uncle LEO cannot provide. I did not give specifics, but I would be looking for a slightly revealing photo, maybe with special instruction to prove it's current. I got a blank reply, like the messages you send by accident when you hit send before you type anything, but no reply. I replied again and asked for info and got silence. I waited a few days and replied again, still silence. A check of history showed the original sender had past posts but not a lot of substance. Maybe a reason to be concerned, maybe not, but it makes one think about the possible dangers. So two topics for discussion here; are there dangers lurking that we should be more aware of to avoid set ups (LEO or theives), and, what type of text or photo prior to an appointment can help prove a provider is not uncle in disguise? Uncle can lie to meet drug dealers and say he does illegal things, so I expect he can lie and say he has used providers to gain our trust. And my research suggested they can send revealing photos but there is doubt that would generally be put into practice. But same research suggested they cannot use revealing photos in fake ads. If anyone knows more, I would like to be more educated.[/QUOTE]
