So I've been on CL a lot more lately and was wondering if any board members have insight. I've come across a BUNCH of posts offering services but when I've looked up the number it goes to a business for some reason (pizza joint, drywall company, etc.).
So how exactly do these pic / cell scams work anyway?
Seems to me like its just stupid trolling but is there an endgame here I'm not seeing? Maybe a blackmail set up or something. Anyone have amy insight on this?

[QUOTE=LatinHunt;3617657]Sounds like something a feminist group might do.[/QUOTE]My policy is to ask for a pic and details on the CL mail, until I can be reasonably sure the girl is real. I don't reply to phone numbers or personal email. 99 percent trolls or spam.
I do the same thing when I get hits and then double check the number because a few of them have come back to local businesses.
What I'm referring to are ads that want a face cock and cell # first which I can only thing is a set up for something else.

[QUOTE=ConGorilla;3518419]Back in the CL heyday there was a curvy white girl who went by the name of Red if I'm remembering correctly. One of her pics had her in an outfit like a broadway dancer (hat and thigh highs) worked out of woony. Just curious if she was still active but UTR or if anyone knew what happened with her?[/QUOTE]Let me just start by saying that a girl like her can never truly go UTR after having her face put out there for as many years as she had. I used to visit her regularly when she had her apartment in the blue building. She had a number of girls she worked with there. I had done doubles with 2 of them. First it was her and Isabella who I think may have been pregnant. Then was Lilliana who was a sweet exotic looking girl. Then there was an AA girl who I can't remember as I'd never done a double with her. She was just a bit darker than I prefer. After some time I would just see Isabella or Lilliana by themselves at their apartments. They were both great. I think Ava and them all went their separate ways though. Last I knew Ava had left RI for CT and then she supposedly moved to CO. At first she was a really nice provider but after a while her service and enthusiasm took a major plunge. Maybe the biz took a toll on her. I know she was going through some family problems too. It was probably best for her that she stopped working. I haven't seen any of them since about 2010 or 2011. If anyone has any info on what happened to curly hair Isabella or little miss Lilliana please let me know. I'd love to see them again. Maybe I could even get them to do a double together this time around.

If an ad asks for a face pic, cock pic, and cell number, two things come to mind, its a scam, and I am without a doubt not answering it. Do guys actually reply to these?

Yes. Absolutely a scam but what I'm wondering about is what's the scammers end game?

And a question frankly, I can't answer and never will be able to.

[QUOTE=ConGorilla;3618772]Yes. Absolutely a scam but what I'm wondering about is what's the scammers end game?[/QUOTE]The scam is that they'll try to get you to sign up for some "verification" website before they give you their phone number. This is, of course, some sort of phishing scheme or something like that.
1. A (no subject) response. Just delete these off the bat. Just list crawler bots.
2. Poor english. Say the subject line matches but the sentences don't make sense or are awkwardly worded? "I saw your post but one thing cannot found" or "I real female hopen you real".
3. Asking for cell #, pics, etc upfront. Don't bother you won't hear back.
4. The email they send you has a period before the at babydoll6390. At blahblahblah. Total fakes.
Happy hunting.

Heard she is in Cancun stuck anybody hear that.
It's true she is stuck in Cancun. She actually came back a couple weeks ago and then went back.

So it seems that CL has implemented some changes to reduce the number of spam postings on the CE boards.
Started with a cap of ONE post per account which lasted for a few weeks and fairly easy to get around (just have a second account right?
They have now started with phone verification for every post too so even if you have a second or third account they're requiring a phone call / text code confirmation before getting the post up.
As a result I have been seeing a COMPLETE DROP in spam responses (which I'm still not sure if its because of the changes or because I send all spam responses to the spam folder).
But I'm also seeing a total drop in hits to my ads too in addition to seeing a LOT less getting posted.
So just a heads up fellas on how that's all going for those looking to try it.
I'm also thinking that the ladies have moved to other venues outside of BP CL and LER and to that end any leads would be greatly appreciated.
