Beware! Leo has taken over a reputable providers Acct and phone
I think I should post the info here but need sage advice on exactly what ahould be said. Please I'm if you are a senior with thoughts.
That's not a bad suggestion
[QUOTE=B Beall;1729085]There's no reason to hide first-hand information, and there's not a whole lot of reason to believe second-hand information.[/QUOTE]I must have got him before his inbox filled up, and I won't share the name because that's up to him, but his info seems solid. It's someone he's seen for over a year and when he called, he's positive the person that answered was not who he's been seeing, and she said it was. That's as red a flag as one could hope for. As you said. 2nd hand info isn't worth much, so it's up to him to share the name via PM with seniors of his choosing. I won't, so don't ask.

How many hobbyists here have actually been arrested?
[QUOTE=B Beall; 1730604]The waters are as safe today as they were yesterday, or will be tomorrow; occasionally they get roiled, but maybe just as often by rumor and paranoia as by actual leo activity. Unless they announce we've been awarded the first Midsummer Super Bowl.
"Seeing someone new"? As in someone new to you, who's been around for a while and is well reviewed? Or someone who just turned up on BP and is here for three days?
Learn to manage your risk. If you can't possibly deal with getting popped and processed, and having a Class A misdemeanor arrest which will be expunged after six months, following an automatic diversion program, then stay out of the hobby, or find someone extremely safe and become a regular. If you're going to dive for cover every time there's a rumor of LE activity that's where you'll spend all your time.[/QUOTE]Have you ever been arrested? I haven't, and don't plan to be. I've taken a lot of risk in the past, and have learned a lot since then, mostly by reading and paying attention to the paranoia. I think I've avoided some close calls recently due to following my new found instinct there. Could be wrong, maybe not. But I haven't had to learn the hard way either, and I have many members on this board and others to thank for that. Not dumb luck.
