[QUOTE=CougarBait;3308882]Anyone ever been blackmailed?

[URL]https://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/cas/6043839021.html[/URL]

Just texted this one. She must have searched my number and got my full name, then found my facebook or something. She is threatening to expose me.

Number is 773-XXXX328. Any idea how to handle this?[/QUOTE]1. I think this would happen more if the girl is not reviewed much, make sure you do your homework and go to a provider with mostly good reviews. I have gone to some that don't have reviews but I don't think that is very smart at all.

2. Be Nice. There is no reason to try to stiff her, NO REASON! If she doesn't do what you expect or even do what she says she was going to do, just pay and get out. If you don't care who knows what you are doing then yah fight for your money but in my opinion pay and never call her again. She doesn't expect you to anyway. If you stiff her expect a call back or worse.

As I do agree with SunIsBurning to be full proof, if you're smart you know when to reveal who you are and when to bail. Got to use that big head more than you think first time seeing a lot of these girls. I have even cut off the ones who text me at random hours of the day / night. I can't have that, that's a "NO NO". So I politely say this isn't me anymore or please let me text you first. Most of the girls I see are just as discrete as me so that's always a good sign. There must be the same amount of trust going both ways, if not then get out.

Be Smart!

I've seen a small number of BP and even smaller number from CL. They were all well reviewed and "normal" women. They texted me once in a while but like some of yours needed to be discreet so it did not get out of hand. I agree, use the big head and all should work out well. If it goes bad, pay and get the f out of dodge quick and don't be a hero because you never know. My two cents.

I wouldn't consider using an escort that wasn't verified. If she pulled a blackmail stunt, you would report her to the verification service. A good service will reach out to the provider and take action. Providers don't want their name tarnished with credible verification services. It's not against the law to be part of a verification service. I really don't care if the government sees my membership. Any reasonable escort (regardless of services provided during a date) would want to know if their next client had a history of violence or "no-shows" or disrespect. That's really all verification is. An additional layer of safety and accountability. If their intentions are good to begin with, they shouldn't have a problem being verified. Best way to avoid the blackmail thing and a hundred other landmines IMHO.

[QUOTE=SunnyBeaches7;3310234]Are you saying Google Voice is not safe?[/QUOTE]I just would never call or text from my personal number.

[QUOTE=Chungan;3309947]So. Reading about black mail, was just wondering using Google voice number is just as good as burner phone?

Yes someone can hack into Google voice and get the real number, but most people I see doesn't have that skill set.

Was just wondering. What's your opinion guys?[/QUOTE]Not sure how hacking would work if the girl didn't already know your gmail (I actually have a separate hobby gmail). Unless she gets a federal warrant and gets google to cough up your info I doubt a normal person could get your info. Best part of google voice is being able to toggle it off and on I I can prevent random calls at night from providers.

How much info are you guys giving to these providers? If a provider wanted more than my name I would say no thanks and hang up. No way would I give her my home address and employment info.

Anyone use text now app. Worked well for me.

We run most of the business using Google Voice, connected to Google Contacts, Gmail, Google Translate, Google Calendar and Google docs using a pair of Chromebooks and our two Android phones. By relying primarily on text messages for scheduling, Mei and I can coordinate pretty well. I can make VOIP calls from Google Hangouts. Its quite a robust ecosystem and has built in translation capabilities so I can write contracts, documents, and financial information in English and Chinese simultaneously. I added Sideline so I could have, in effect, two Google Voice numbers on one telephone. Incoming calls can be directed to whoever is working that day (although it always seems to be me.).

But to the thread topic, I must say that because google voice is interconnected to almost everything "footprints / fingerprints" are everywhere. If my phone of computer falls into the wrong hands, I'm toast. It's not very good for people trying to to keep secrets. Sideline is easier to hide, though obviously not as robust.

Finally, I'd be remiss if I did not mention wechat, which is an awesome app. You don't have to be Chinese to appreciate it. But if you interact with Chinese people, it truly is the "killer app" which you absolutely have to have. Bob.

Time to empty your inbox.

[QUOTE=RonM;3310692]How much info are you guys giving to these providers? If a provider wanted more than my name I would say no thanks and hang up. No way would I give her my home address and employment info.[/QUOTE]You are on point!! Especially if we are hunting on BP or CL, we should just use a separate phone (with GV even, I wouldn't just use GV on my phone that everyone in my life knows), a burn wallet without credit card etc. Always going to cheap motels or even good hotels if the girl only do outcall, even if we are single and own our place.

Just to clarify guys:

I did not meet this person. I texted "Available" they responded asking where I was. I gave them neighborhood. They asked if I lived alone. I said I cannot host. They said "Pay me or I'm going to expose you. " Then they started using my first and last name, then sent me my Facebook profile picture.

I deactivated Facebook and told them "I have notified the Chicago Police Department and provided them with your number". They responded with "wow" and it's been silent.

I don't know whether to post this in here or south side reports. But, anyways, after posting ads on CL for a FWB and getting contacted by several women asking for donations I finally just met up with my first, Ashley. She's in her mid 20's white kinda cute thin definitely had a kid because when she took off her shirt she had saggyish Ds and a mom belly neither which bother me. She smokes and was kinda all over the place and living out of a hotel. We got to business and it was a "C" BBBJCIM with an immediate rush to spit and thanks out the door as she asked for an extra ten (which I didn't giver her) on top of the sixty already. I'm in no hurry to repeat but she seemed desperate for new friends so.

I always try to stay friendly with old CL friends. I have found they come and go over the years. They will just stop answering emails or texts. But I have had a few contact me after a couple of years. One did last night! Cute latina BBw wants to meet again. Told me I was an nice guy and took care of her needs. Hopefully meet this week.
