My fast trick of avoiding being discovered is to flip the image horizontally.

This doesn't always work 100%, but it saves a lot of work.

I don't know who runs this site, but it's really great. Whoever he or she is, they do a good job. Just a shout out to "admin. ".

Awesomex90.

She's been posting adds for a while. Pics attached.

We made arrangements to get together today for FBSM and FS, $200 hh, reasonable.

Here's how she works:

She asks you your location first.

Then she posts an address in your city (I told her I was in Pasadena and she sent me the address to the Westin).

She says she prefers to be paid via cashapp or via gift cards since she's been scammed in the past, but agrees to let you pay her once you arrive.

(so the red flags didn't go off. Yet since I figured this might be a way around a "cash transaction".

I texted once I arrived and she asked for me to cashapp 1/2 of our agreed fee--saying she's trying to be careful. Sob story. She even offered to cashap $50 back to me. More sob story.

Since I had gift cards to give her, I offered $50 and the rest at the door.

Yadda, yadda, yadda.

She kept asking for the balance and then I never heard from her again.

I have 2 cell phones, so I reached out to her again and she gave me the same lines of bullshit. BUT. The next time I said I was in Rosemead and she gave me a Rosemead hotel address--saying she was there at the same time.

Anyways. Stay safe, my friends. I'll gladly take one for the team if it helps a fellow monger.

What did Gordan Gekko say? "A fool and his money were lucky to get together in the first place. " This definitely applies to you. Sorry for the harsh judgement, but it's idiots like you that promulgate these broads into running these scams.

It appears you did not get scammed, just time sucked. Did you give her the 50 bucks.

I posted on this type of scam before, which ever dud is doing this, I admire, he now asks where you are and the incall is near you. In my case, he said the incall was in a building that I know all the residents of because there is a poker game there, and the landlord would use any excuse to kick out tenants if there was a sublet to a massage therapist. So I knew it was bs and I did what you did and used another number, now the gal was 15 miles away. So be aware of the new "location" scam. And never send any money up front.

There were a million red flags and you should have stopped at the very first one--her pictures. A chick who looks like that will not be on "rubratings" LOL. Chicks who look like that are usually UTR and by word of mouth only and advertised to a very select clientele. The second red flag was her price. Add one more zero to her posted rate and that would be a good starting point. Why is it so hard for mongers here to understand that the girl of your dreams simply do not exist in the $$ world of Backpage and SW's? The scammers are playing on your unrealistic and outright delusional expectations.

Hard lesson learned.

Steak.

Stay away from Cashapp. It's a scam. You will know right away if they're only asking for a hundred dollars. And then if you ask her to lower her price down even more, then you really know it's a scam. They'll say that they've been ripped off before when she's used cash. Don't go for Cashapp ever.

I like the way you talk, you definitely sound intelligent and sophisticated, and wondered why I never noticed your activity before. I scanned your previous forum posts and got my answer.

You are correct about the deleting stored information on any picture downloaded from the internet. That is one way. The other option is to take a cropped screenshot of whatever picture you downloaded from the internet. You are essentially starting from scratch. It is the same picture but without all the EXIF info that was inherently tied to the original picture. I further manipulate the screenshot and do all kinds of digital alterations to it using Photoshop before uploading it on the internet just to fuck with Google and Tineye. Any forensic investigation on my pictures will lead nowhere as the internet thinks it is a virgin photo and never before seen by Mark Zuckerberg.

I also have a non de plume, so my real name isn't connected to the picture. When you download your picture off the internet, save it on your computer and (assuming it's Windows 10) right click on it to get to properties. You can delete all of the date, time, and location information. That's what you send to your future parammour using a VPN of course.

**SFVsag** · 05-19-20 21:24

At least, in the current environment, you can take a pic of yourself, wearing a mask.

Some providers want it, they don't reply until they get it.

Any recommendations or suggestions? On what you do to get with these providers?

Yeah what he said. So I text back a picture of HapaBoy86 instead and have had no problems setting up dates with providers so far. These chicks can't wait to meet the handsome devil! I knock on their door, they open it, and the confused look on their faces is fucking priceless LOL. They were expecting Leonardo DiCaprio and they got Leonardo DaVinci instead ha ha ha.

I was going to suggest putting a pic of yourself into google pic search and use something it kicks out. Or walk away. Can't think of any pussy worth the potential of your ID being blown like that.

Stupid thing to do. It's bad enough that they get your phone number. Imagine what a wacko can do to you with both your phone number and your photo.
