General Reports

Here are two bits of advice...

The first one is so "obvious" it usually gets overlooked. READ THE POST CAREFULLY. You will often find references to "just moved here to X" and you live no where near X, let alone anything similarly named X. You'll also notice common and repeated phrases. Ones the spammers, phishers, and bot nets have all found useful to luring suckers in the past.

The second is, while following the advice above, be on the look out for punctuation that makes no sense, excessive or oddly replacing letters with numbers, oddly placed underscores or hyphens between two or more words (especially ones that are completely unrelated to conveying an idea in the English language).

Sure a few will be poor Babblefish, Bing!, or Google translations. A few may even be the crappy English spelling and grammar of the Nigerian prince who is going to use a portion of his share of the $25 million USD he is temporarily storing in your bank account to buy Hooked On Phonics. The majority, however, are pattern identifiers in the text that are used by automated response systems and bots. If you think CL is slim pickings, try the Bot/Spammer hell known as backpage.com > personals > orlando women seeking men. Plenty of examples of what I am talking about.

Do those things and you'll keep the spammers, scammers, and bots to a minimum.

And yes the casuals take a lot of work, you get to whre you can recognize the scams and spam, I use Mozilla Firefox and G-mail it weeds out most but not all.
Always post 2 adds, you will see the scammers name 2 times closely together and lets face it we all should be able to spot foreign names . I just toss all that look fuzzsy.

If you keep good virus protection you are pretty safe, been at it for 4 years now with no problems.

Now for the rewards; I got a 42 yo a while back lil chunky, but real sweet, no money just wants attention, says her libido kicked in like when she was 14 when she turned 40. I hate to brag but after 3-4 hours with her, it takes me a day to recoup, and damn can she squirt.

Remember many gals work retail and are off during the week and thus read the casuals then and can play then as well.

Remember to post nicely, sugar catches more than salt, there are a 100 guys out there with bigger dicks posting than you, find a different angle.

Good luck[/QUOTE]

Posted on CL. Got a couple of bot responses, but one real one. Met the (married) lady for coffee in a public place. We hit it off, and now we get together every week or so for bedroom fun. No drama. No commitments. Life is cool!

Found this and thought I would share.

Another hint for those of you trying to find women on craigslist's casual section. Check the email header information. If you can see more advanced info like the 'reply to' address you will see that a lot of spammers have a different "from" address than their "reply to" address.

Similarly, a lot of spammers will write in the email body another email address that you should reply to rather than the one that they sent it from. They will say something like "I'm writing from my friends account, email me back at [email]something@else.com[/email]". They might also give AIM/Yahoo info in their craigslist post or email, chances are that is spam.

Anyways, I've put up about 4 posts on craigslist and I usually get 1 legit person that I meet up with each time (3/4). So far they haven't been as hot as some of the pros, but where I live there are few local pros that fit my type.

From what I can tell from a Google search, texting 22428 hooks you to a text chat service. Must be a total scam. To bad, cause the girl in the ad is just my type.

Hi gang,

I just saw this posted on BP. I don't know the accuracy of the source, but of course, I wanted to share the link with everyone.

I'm curious to hear feedback from those who have used the new companionship thread.

Have you had any success?

[QUOTE=Dicktracey]I'm curious to hear feedback from those who have used the new companionship thread.

Have you had any success?[/QUOTE]Y'know Dick, I was wondering about this myself. I have not received any replies but since my post was for barter I am limited to those who own their own place. Anybody else have any luck?

So far no replies. Although I'm not a senior member, I have tried to contribute in most all categories as much as my funds allow. I am as skiddish as a stray cat so I don't ventrue to far from a small comfort zone. So posting for me was a leap of faith. So in a way its okay, but I would like to donate to a providers personal charity all the same.

My LIL, Red Head, 200 # BBW may be for rent.
She and I have been going thru her fantasies.
pussy eaten for 3 hours on end. takes 2 large bath towels to soak her up.
2 guys for an afternoon
now working on Daddy play
Perhaps some semi public
next may be cash!
Don't get too excited, yet.

But serious, I may need some help with her even on the free side.
We need to talk n alternative e-mail.
A few of you know my e-mail, we can start there.

BTW who is up towards Winter Springs

I will be visiting Orlando with my lady next week. Wondering if there is any action to be had on International Drive.

Facts to note:
1. I will not have a vehicle to monger.
2. Discretion is a must. I will venture out only when my lady is catching some ZZZs.

Thanks in advance.

No car, yet willing to travel after the ol' lady falls asleep?

Couple issues?

1. No car, how will you venture out when the ol'lady is asleep?

2. No car, are you intending to get a room in the same hotel?

3. Venturing out, when the ol'lady wakes up and your on an hour long Ice run.
