Yup. Fake ads are a real hassle.
I don't know how LeoList (formerly erslist) survived the cull that toasted their competitors that offerred free ads such as Craigslist and Backpage, but the fake ads have always been a staple characteristic of these high-volume focused advertising platforms. Less fake (but much lower volumn but girls with higher price tags) alternatives include:
- Tryst.link
- perb.cc advertising section
- cuddleup.com ("cuddle" only, no sex selling)
Craigslist had a good system for blocking ads and an automated reporting mechanism that removed ads after several different people clicked to remove.
I used a Chrome browser and plugin called
NooBox that simultaneously checks pictures you submit with eight reverse-image search engines like tineye.com, Google and other search engines I never heard of.
For example, the following image used on a LeoList ad as found by NooBox appears in several locations around the world:
- AVAILABLE NOW!! AVA PreTTYy GIRL | Kamloops | Interior ...
- AVAILABLE NOW!! AVA PreTTYy GIRL | Quebec City - LeoList
- NEED SEXY HARD MAN AVAILABLE FOR FUN ! | Victoria ...
- NEED SEXY HARD MAN AVAILABLE FOR FUN ! | Kitchener ...

Right now, guys need to manually exercise due-diligence to figure out whether or not the advertisers are bonafide because there are too many ways for advertisers to skirt the technological restrictions used to reduce fake ads.
Some of the verification steps involve:
- Reverse Image search using Tineye.com, Google, or the NooBox Chrome plugin
- Texting inquiries to test responsiveness, manners, etc.
- Live Video-chat verification
- Search phone number on Google
- Look at Perb for hits on the name and number
- Review other linked social media links provide
- See if there are pay-per-view or subscription links like onlyfans.com
- Does the LeoList advertiser have a "Directory" entry
- Are the images "verified" (ie. "LeoList" written on paper held up by the girl in the images)
- Does the phone number produce ads with other girls' pictures
- Spelling and grammar
- Use of the word "party" in the ad
- Shots that appear to be "too professional" looking for the asking amount (but do not appear on reverse image search)
- Only email contact provided but no phone number
- Price that is "too low", say $100 for 1hr fs
- Deposit required but provider has no reviews
- Deposit is automatic deposit that does not required a password
- Ad asks to use gift cards for deposits (ie. you send the number for immediate cashing)
- Intuition
The solution would be an offshore server that allowed free ads that combines and integrates the best of craigslist, backpage, leolist, offers review hooks into perb. But, "free" doesn't pay the bills for development.
Until then, suck it up and do like the rest of us and suss out authenticity of the ho you are hoping to bang by doing your research.
Oh, and post the results of that research on Perb so you can save us that time.
