How do I know you're not a cop?

I've never been with a provider before. Would like to but I'm scared to death of being caught up in a sting when all I want is for a lady to spend a little time it is not about sex with me. My question is, what are some of the steps that I can take to be assured that she is not law enforcement?

If she has several reviews spanning more then 6 months, the chances she is a cop are very slim. Also, take into consideration the people who reviewed her. If most are are known hobbyists, again the chance she is LE is very low.

One big warning sign, I would say is if the provider's is very explicit in her ad about services she offers. If she is very forward and keeps offering to do sexual acts for money, be wary. -- Especially if there has been no sense that she's wanted to check out who you are first.

Just like with cops posing as clients, what LE is trying to do is trick/trap you into agreeing to perform a sex act for money. So, if you agree to her proposition for some act and give her money, you're busted.

Here are some tips for contacting a provider.

- Don't make a decision about seeing someone with your dick. Cool down and make it with your mind and your gut. Take time to research and talk to her. Make apt for at least a day ahead if not more.

- Be wary of responding to explicit ads where acts (even acronyms) are in the advertisement.

- When you see an ad of a provider you like, respond respectfully. This would be my template for responding:

I saw your ad in .... You look ....(compliment). I'm (tell a little bit about yourself. Traveling gentlemen, professional, whatever) and am interested in spending some time with you. Could you please send some information about yourself.

- Hopefully she will send you a website about herself that will have reviews on it. If she has no website at all, that would be a red flag for me. However, if she has a website up but no reviews, it's not the end of the world. It just means a bit more digging on your part. Ask if she is on any review boards. If so, join those boards (if you haven't already) and see if she takes part in the discussions. What does she say? Do people respond to her. Ask on the board if anyone knows anything about her.

- Pay attention to what screening information she wants about you. How is she wanting to feel safe that YOU are not a cop. If she's asking no questions in that regard (like what you do for a living), then that would be a red flag.

- One good idea is to sign up with a date check service like datecheck or Preferred 411. Your personal info is checked and you are given a number code. Your info is then disposed of. More importantly, thouogh, the providers that are on there need to go through a pretty extensive check themselves before they can be on the service checking their clients.

- Another good clue is how much they are investing in their business. Are they paying for advertising on sites such as eros.com? Do they have a website? Does it look like they have put some effort into it? How have they worded things on their website? Unless the cops are really into it, chances are they are probably not going to be spending a lot of money to advertise to trap people. If so, I guess we know where our tax dollars are going. Think that's why they like CL so much cause it's free. Don't quote me on this one. Just my opinion.

- Talk with them on the phone. Share a laugh. What does your gut tell you? Do you feel comfortable talking with her? Go with your gut?

This are just my thoughts based on intuition.

Hope this helps.

This is an excellent resource for clients to follow regarding what to expect from a provider and how to act:

do some background check first before meeting her...

or him.

or it

I've heard the reason TER insists upon having a link to a lady's ad (classified ads, like backpage.com, don't count) to post a review is because cops supposedly can't post ads.

Cops are not required to tell you whether they are law enforcement or not, but many will beat around the bush or respond with a question if asked directly.

I am not usa person but if I was usa this is how I think......

if police do a sting it is for quick catch........if you one person a police will not spend many times chating with you. If you work in a massage or like that then of cause they may take many month if not year to watch and collect information.


But if one person and you want to meet an escort or if you a single escort I think if you spend some time chat and maybe even cam before meeting I think they will not take time to do this.

I think the stings rely on the embarrassment factor a lot. They are so unexpected, the guy is likely to agree to anything to get away and end up incriminating themselves.

I think a good thing for guys to do is actually join the client verification sites and/or provide work info to the escort via her contact form on her site. Also references. Any escort who wants this done, and this information, is unlikely to be LE and along with the reviews, ensures a better result than going in for a quickie or a cheap date, which I think is how LE lures in guys for stings. They need tojustify the set up, which means get a lot of arrests, and the best way for this is a lower than regular rate with a minimum amount of screening. Any escort that is too easy to see, compared to other US escorts, is probabably a good one to avoid.

Do a little research on your local forum/message board to learn more about the manner in which stings are conducted in your area; this will help you learn the warning signs. In most areas, avoid cheap hotels/motels like the plague. In certain areas, LE seems to have an affinity for certain hotel chains or motels. Stings are also governed by local laws, so people in your area will be more familiar with the modus operandii of local LE.

I have a free posting on another board but of course if I want to upgrade I can have more access to their lists but, it's not much different than this one and it's more of a call me 2 hrs before you're ready to meet.
Hey, you know what, that scares the shit out of me. How do I know she's not LE no menu no donations and shoddy phone pics for most parts.
Maybe I'm too Old School but I'd like to be safe for my part as well. When I've done something like this I've been disapointed in the lady and sometimes for the entire event which didn't include sex at my declining. Her dog was left in the room when we were gone and on the bed when we got back. Excuse me? No Animals in the room.
So this does go both ways.

It is a great question. I have been told by several males who have not done their "homework", they have always had bad experiences.

1. Make sure she is on more than one website. Reputable ladies have more than one site they advertise on.
2. Check the reviews and the reviewer. Most sites allow access to all of this.
3. Check out her website.
4. When you do call, if she is not asking who YOU are then you are most likely walking into a situation facing a pimp, cash and dash, or bait and switch. Reputable ladies always screen clients to make sure you are not LE or blacklisted!
5. Most importantly, Money is NEVER discussed! The ad or website lists all the necessary information! When he/she asks about money, then that raises a RED FLAG! LE will always talk about money and sex acts, but mainly money to trap you.
And do not be afraid of giving out your basic screening information. I can tell you personally, I never keep personal information records, just basic information for my fellow providers when she calls to check on you when a reference is needed.
Services such as P411 and Date Check are great for getting started!
I always recommend these when a gentleman does not want to give information and has no references!
