Ever been catfished?

[Skym]

Basically bait and switch...where the pics of a SP trick you in thinking you're gonna see a hottie but you won't...lol

I remember one time I went to MAE and I was expecting to see a hot 20 yr old Asian chick based on the website's pics but when I got there, I ended up meeting a granny basically. I was like WTF!

I was so shocked and left.

Total bait & switch. That catfish experience was so bad that I never went back to MAE ever again. Lol

Yeah but it was 25 years ago before websites, online ads and review boards. I answered an ad from the personal's of a newspaper (remember those?). The ad was for "Baywatch Beauty Pamela". So what I'm expecting is a busty blonde and I get a frumpy, flat chested redhead. I say, "hey, where's Pamela Anderson" and she says "yeah, I also have ads up as Courtney Cox, Madonna and Michelle Pfeiffer".

Yes, I fucked her anyway

Kelly of WildTime.

That was a ripoff.

Also when that agency got called out by a few in here the ”owner”/pimp/booker doubled down on the denials but relented and had to be truthful with the pics.

The pics were like 10 to 15 years ago and the actual person that showed up was nothing like the pics. It was Saggy Maggy.

For real I think 90% of leo are fake

Once with a girl on Backpage. Backpage was very risky, but I usually got lucky. Tried BP 4 times (after reading reviews), and saw the SP, and it went well. The 5th time was absolutely disgusting. Completely fake pictures. I got there and the SP hid behind the door and had all the lights closed. When I got in I thought I was gonna get robbed. She was a very fat 40+ woman with a HUGE belly. I figured I would just get a HJ or something but she couldn't even do that. Left immediately.

2nd time was with Euphoria. Complete B&S pics with a girl from 2019.

TWICE, including tonight, goddamn it.

1) First time was a blonde woman who went by "Eva" like 4 months ago. Received at a motel. I walked in. She looked nothing like her pictures even though they were "verified" by LeoList -- which means their verification is not reliable at all. Completely different woman -- the only thing she had in common with the person in the pic was hair color. Lucky my brain was working enough for me to walk out without paying or doing anything.

2) Tonight. On a LeoList ad, her name is currently "Olivia", and their phone number ends with 6514.

A red flag I should have seen is that LeoList marked the ad as "New User". A second red flag: price was too good to be true — 120HH, 200H. The only reason I thought it was somewhat believable was because the person in the pic wasn't that hot — I figured no one fake would advertise with a realistic photo, right? Wrong.

When I got there, the lights were dark and the person that greeted me was completely different. But somehow I didn't realize until I was already in the room. God I'm dumb sometimes, WTH.

It was a 50-year old Asian mom with a body built like Yoda WTF. I paid her for 1H because I'm an idiot, and when I realized she barely spoke any English, that's when it finally hit me. After I laughed at myself inside, realizing they got me, I asked for a deep tissue massage, which she was good at. And I guess since I was already there, I got a CBJ which I 100% regret because looking down made me realize she had a bit of a mustache. Literally the only thing making me feel better is that I'm able to share this story with you guys and hopefully make you laugh or cry.

Then I showered and left early because EW. I know I shouldn't be looking at LeoList in the first place, but all the well-reviewed agencies are inconveniently located for me, plus I've had a few good experiences on LeoList. But from now on, I'm always going to use this 5-step checklist before even texting someone:

1. Do they have a Twitter/OF? (if so, good sign)
2. Do they have realistic prices? (if not, avoid it)
3. Did LL mark them as "New User"? (if so, RUN)
4. Are their pics verified by LL? (can still be unreliable — see story #1 above)
5. Has anybody on MERB talked about them? (search their name, last 4 digits of phone number)

Or skip all this damn detective work and go with one of the well-reviewed agencies that advertise here. I already knew this, but didn't follow it.

I hate learning lessons the hard way. Don't be me — don't get head from Yoda. You deserve better. :'(

Unless you count things like them being slightly fatter in real life, never. It's rare you'll see a recent, filter-less, photo these days anyway.
Often time, when l look the number of an SP online, I'll find their old page from like 3 years ago on another website with some of the same pictures, but also see that they added new pictures to their ads since. From there I can figure out the difference between the two and more or less extrapolate what they look like now to avoid being completely disappointed.

That said, since I typically search the SP up before ever contacting them, if it looks fishy, I don't. Recently there's one that popped up on A123 who looked interesting. But then a quick investigation revealed the same user posted dozens of ads, all with different pictures, in different cities, some with the same name, other with a different one. All with the same number. Could be a pimp, could be fake. I ain't taking the chance.

I also avoid Asians as a rule, simply because I feel like most of them are either catfish like what happened to Spamshield101 or they are basically human trafficked. Especially if they themselves don't speak a word of English or French.

Verify mean not much.. website Twitter Instagram.. not everybody are on of... some legit provider are not on merb.... indy companion all legit

"verified" by LeoList

Just a question, how LeoList verifies the Pictures?
I do not have courage to explore any unknown territory. Went with reviewed or reference ladies.

 

[Max15411]

Once. The girl in the picture was so sexy that my brain above the shoulders did not think for too long. Got to the hotel and not at all the same person. Turned around and left. Got home and did the reverse image search. Found her in France if I recall. Quite disappointing.

Sorry I know I am late to the party, but LL will mark the ad as verified as long as there is a sign with LeoList written on it. Yes, that proves that the woman on the picture is the "real" one, but that doesn't mean that it is legit. It can still be a scam with a pimp behind the pictures.
Keep going with reviewed ladies my friend!

I noticed lately more and more Indies are on twitter but not on any site i look at (leo, tryst, merb). Maybe its sites i just don't know or maybe twitter is fine for them trough cross promotions.

I look at Leo often and yeah it seem there is A LOT of fakes. Some are so bad it make me laugh. Like "oh look... that hot instagram model with 1.2 million follower is in Montreal tonight escorting for 200H...interesting "

Most of the indies tends not to use those websites specially Leolist because it’s mostly expensive with a bunch of not serious clients. At the beginning of the year I tend to stop using Leo and only tryst and maybe merb (I wasn’t sure how merb works) because it cost you a lot and you get so many time wasters. But for me with tryst it takes time to find Montreal gents that can potentially become regulars. With merb didn’t start seeing a difference until I got 1 or 2 reviews but still not getting enough traffic as on Leolist. So I went back on Leolist and post here and there. Some girls can afford to not be on those websites to have less non serious inquiries and only spend time on replying to a few inquiries instead of a bunch of mainly time wasters per day.
