As if another reason was needed. Still, great heads up for the folks still using CL. Of course, it won't stop most of them, but what can you do?

my friends 16 year old did that very same thing. She got caught, tired as an adult and is sitting tight for the next 9 years.

I will say that she was not using craig's list but was walking Ball Rd posing as a hooker.

There's quite a few gg's and ts's traveling the country pulling this carp on CL.

The problem is amongst the skanks and robs there are legit pros who use CL. We don't usually use it at home much anymore, but we do on the road, so do other pros.

The way to tell a legit professional escort is this:

If she is on CL and no place else, watch your wallet.

If she is advertising on CL, and she ALSO has a paid ad on Eros you have a better chance, but still not for sure.

If she owns her own "dotcom" domain, or has a full web site, not just a single page on a legit host site it shows she isn't just fly by night.

She has a review history on TER and/or other reputable sites.

Or she is a known video performer on tour.

If you stick to something along those lines, stay away from girls living in cheap motels, and talk with the provider on the phone so you know if you are both on the same wavelength then you will have a good time more often than not.

Have fun, play safe.
