I’m somewhat new to this hobby and only seen a handful of girls and want to broaden my horizons… but when I go on Leo it seems 90% of the ads are fake. Are they? And how can you tell? I’ve saved myself a few times by searching here but just in general are there certain things you look for?
Thanks!

If you're a newbie, I would strongly recommend NOT to use LeoList (to find new providers.) You are right: 90% (or more) of the ads are fake. There are plenty of really good providers at the agencies (Island's Finest, Vogue Collective, The Playhouse, Essence of Asia). Then there's Tryst, a more reliable website for indie providers (although not bulletproof.)

There are tips all over this site regarding how to spot fake ads on LL (check Google images, phone numbers, etc), but I find it a HUGE waste of time (and even if you do find someone new, it's really a hit and miss.) In general, if the provider is legit (we're talking about LL), she will have at least a mention somewhere here, hopefully a review.

Good luck.

Like Robert said. One more thing, never be afraid to walk if you don't like what you see or the vibe when you get to the door.
Good advice. All the Asian places will have some address, where you will usually not finr the girl in the pics. and you should just walk if you don’t like what you see., as suggested.

For scam independents, most will ask for a depost to give you the address. Twice I even went to a hotel lobby where they would come and get me. Except once in the lobby, they wanted an e-transfer to give me room number.

so if you are going to play this game, you should consider it a sport, where you lose most of the times But with the occasional hidden gem, as I found with Annie a few days ago. Recommendations from trusted sources is best. Obviously never send deposit or e-transfer to an unknow
good luck and please report back, especially on the good ones!

Checking area codes can winnow out a few.
If its a Florida or Arkansas code odds are its a scam.
Deposits? I think the scamming is creating a lot of frustration for everyone.

1. Often times if a Provider shows their face in their ad, Scam.
2. Expect Asian providers to be hard bait and switch. (except EOA) they are very close to spot on.
3. If they advertise,Incall outcall and online, often Scam, Incall & outcall is usually ok
4. Any ad has a telegram link.. Scam (ive taken the time to prove this for myself)
5. Deposit and they aren't positively reviews on Perb, Scam
6. Look at the bottom of the ad...check to see there arent mulitple ads in mulitple cities Scam
7.Advertise hard on OF, Scam
If they pass those tests, then check google image search and seeif they have Ads else where.

Never be afraid to walk away when the door opens and they aren't who you expected or they advertised to be. You will have bad experiences, and you will learn which addresses to stay away from.
I find it fun to figure out who is real and who isn't. ive also found some Gems that didnt pass the initial tests but ended up being amazing.
Sometimes you gotta risk it but never put down a deposit.

To add. Those of us that use viagra for a date emphasizes the need for reliability.
Lead in your pencil....no one to write to.
Funny old world.

↑ ↑ ↑ This is an excellent guide ↑ ↑ ↑ And yet, I still think the risk/reward ratio is atrocious. It's like being a gold prospector by panning! 😅

You are spot on. After a while you see patterns. Dont buy Apple Card’s for anyone. In my experience Tryst is much more reliable. That said look for Alex Fjord on LL. Legit and lovely in every way. Thank me later.

That’s sound advice. Years back when I was fairly new, almost got scammed like this. Went to the hotel, and the so called provider said she wouldn’t give me the room number until I sent an e transfer. I said fuck that and I left. Dodged a bullet that day. But yeah for the person who asked if they ask for payment before meeting that’s a 🚩

Here is a good one for your new peeps to see:
https://www.leolist.cc/personals/fe..._7_available_incall_outcall_full_gfe-11282744

24/7 <- first red flag
Party Girl <- second red flag
DEPOSIT REQUIRED FOR OUTCALL AND FIRST TIMER ALSO <--- third red flag ( i text for fun, she wants half up front and the rate is WAYYY below average)
No reivews on Perb <-- 4th red flag
Even though its verifed, the image point back to someone running an ad in ontario named Sonia <--- Final straw.

Feel free to add anything i missed.

If a lady passes my initial litmus test in texting but has no reviews locally. Ask her for any reviews over other platforms. CAF, TERB, MERB, LYLA. No online history, No Bueno. Thankfully over the 20 yrs in this hobby I've only been ripped off once.

There have been some very good nuggets in this thread to use in your vetting a particular provider. Some more obvious than others. Experience will guide you.

Oh and another BIG PIECE OF ADVICE. Use your Big head when searching. Not your small one. If it seems to good to be true. It always is.

One of the images in the ad is a screenshot of a PERB review though. 🤔

A very generic review mind you, and without identifying info, but a review nonetheless.


That is actually my favourite part. Notice her name is never mentioned in the review. Just like this screen shot:
