Hello all, I just saw Laura 4988 pop up on LL today and she seems tgtbt. If you go to her website her rates seem more than reasonable for what she’s offering. That always gives me pause but it all could be quite legit too. Her method of payment also seems legitimate and I understand the need for some providers to want a deposit so their time isn’t wasted on new clients. But it is quite a different approach to making a deposit so that also gives me pause. Has anyone got any experience with her or maybe have a way of knowing how legit she actually is? I tried a reverse image search on one of her pictures and it didn’t find anything. She also has lots of reviews posted in her LL add but those can also be faked at times or so I’ve heard. If anyone has any advice I’d sure appreciate it.
Looks legit…but have concerns Laura 4988

What image search engine did you use? Next time I can use it and not waste anyone’s time.
Pro tip if you use Firefox as your browser this extension makes it easy to right click any image in a page and pick "Search by Image" to search by Google Images, or many other reverse image searches. I think there's similar versions of that extension for Chrome & Safari.
A good note, thank you. I also checked out the website and it was only registered yesterday, even though reviews quote it from a while back. Didn’t take much digging but I should’ve done that before even saying hello to whoever it is. Gonna stick to local and well reviewed ladies I think.
If you browse ads on an Android, you can also just long press on an image and click search google for this image, then exact matches. Guessing iPhones have something similar.
Her website is one of the more elaborate I've seen used in scams, but I noted her name's not on it and there's that weird buy my ebook thing. For shits and giggles I used a burner email and textapp # (you have to supply both) on her form to request her touring schedule. Email came with only a booking link, but I got a text too. Low and behold she'll be in my city tomorrow! Definite scam, and seems like it's been a long ongoing one.
Yeah, it’s more elaborate than I’ve seen before for sure. That’s why I’ll be avoiding LL for a bit and sticking to those that are well reviewed and well known locally. Or recommend by other SPs as well. I was surprised at how much they recommended others. But then also, quite new to all this.
That's a great tip, had no idea this was a thing on Android phones. Thanks for sharing!
