At the top of my bucket list.
[QUOTE=TheDude865;1989903]Just putting this out there to see if others may want to join. I'm planning another trip to the Philippines sometime this spring. I went alone last time but thought it may be cool to make it a joint venture. My last trip was to Manila for a few days of "Fun", then I visit some friends in Tacloban City. That is the hardest hit typhoon area and my friends were displaced. Now I'm planning to go to Angeles City after Manila. This will be a vacation / recreational trip. And by recreational, I mean enjoying the hobby abroad. If interested PM me with any questions and info you may have. Thanks to all here...[/QUOTE]I would definitely entertain such an adventure if I had the means to do so!
Thought he was aaking who the BP bait was?
[QUOTE=Skwerl;1991408]Nick, did you reply to the wrong post?[/QUOTE]I thought he was asking who uncle used meaning which BP ad was uncles bait or the honey pot for the recent sting.
Wondering about the tactics
[QUOTE=BallBuster;1991538]Its very unlikely that Uncle would set something like this up in a hotel parking lot. And it obviously didn't go down, otherwise there would have been some guests on his list. Use some common sense people.[/QUOTE]You have to wonder about the tactics used though. While in Chattanooga I heard about about undercover LEO posted up at some of the notorious notels just on the outskirts of the downtown area. They would watch the room and keep track of the traffic going in and out. Word is that they grabbed one unsuspecting monger as he was approaching a corner room (he hadn't made it to the room yet). Apparently they threatened him with stuff that could be used against him, so he immediately flipped and began working with them. The monger was then scheduling appointments with some of the providers suspected of being under management. He would show up at the rooms and then started talking about exchanging a great review if the provider would do this or that for a substantially reduced rate. Chattanooga LEO had a big fish to fry and were using whatever tactics they felt that they needed to use. I'm not making a commentary on what the monger should have done or the veracity of the claims, but I got word from one of their local providers that she knew the flipped monger and described him as a real "chicken sh1 t" in high school. The whole situation seems unlikely to me, but I'm not privy to what is or isn't a viable tactic. As it has been stated on here numerous times, common sense and listening to your gut will usually keep you out of those kinds of situations.
Happy Hunting,
