Went on LL this am for the first time in a while and notice all the phone numbers have the starting prefix blanked out. Anyone else?
What's that all about??

You can make them appear, but i wouldn't be surprised if this is there first step in making users pay. Pay a fee, and they will show you the numbers. They are pretty much the only game in town now.

Wow, didn't even think of that one but what a possibility. I was thinking more so the ladies don't get spammed by bots grabbing their numbers and putting on spam text list but the pay to see is a possibility now that you say it.

Working the pay to see angle it could also be an additional charge for advertisers to have their numbers not blanked out.

This would be a good time to make a record of all the contact info and preferences that might interest you. Thanks for mentioning the likely pay aspect for clients. Also more incentive for workers to get together and start their own system.

I think it's a safety measure for the providers as it's easy for scammers to design a bot to trawl for phone numbers.

I'm sure I missed some info on this,---- but what gives with LeoList only showing the last 4 digits in any of the ladies ads???
What value is it to the ladies when they have to pay for an ad, but the intended customers or clients can't see their phone number,
therefore making it impossible for a client to contact them.
What am I missing here ?????
If I see an ad that intrigues me, how 'de hell can I contact that particular lady ???

Advertising platforms don't care what SPs think, even if that is their main draw.

Just an observation of an inconsistency.
If you go to the Directory (which is theoretically more 'real' SPs), the phone numbers are clearly visible.
Directory is on the menu bar at the top of the page.

Yes cancowboy2001, all ads in the 'directory' show complete phone numbers.
But that is not much help. There is no individual search function. You can't search by the last 4 digit phone number, and you can't search by name because the ads aren't in alphabetic order.
It shows a picture with the name below it, and when you click on that, it brings up all the info you need to know about that lady.
The directory has 5 pages, with 100 ads on each page in no particular order , --- so 500 ads.
So, if you are looking for a certain lady, and if she is listed on the last page, you can kiss about 30 minutes of time goodbye.
Also, not every lady that advertises on LL is in the directory. ALL users of the directory must have verified pictures.
So, I tried to find a couple of ladies from the 5890 group - Candy and Fanta - no luck. Same goes for Vivi at 2180.
What a waste of time.
I can't understand how ladies agree to pay for their ads, when guys with low IQs like me can't find their number to contact them.
As Miss Hunter suggested, this searching is like a IQ test.
My IQ isn't much higher than the number of states in the USA, but I have never had a session with a SP who seemed to care about my IQ,
they only cared about my cash in hand.

I'm not suggesting the Directory is the answer to finding phone numbers.
I am saying it is an badly thought out inconsistent change on the part of LeoList where the phone number is blurred in one ad but visible in another.
Even some of the ads in the right hand column (featured ads?) have numbers in the title.

Just a hint - try clicking on the blur or the SHOW.

Hmmm... maybe I’m not on the same page as everyone else but I haven’t had any problems searching with the last 4 digits of a number or by name. :confused:

It seems it is about weeding out bots. Just tried it,and up came a picture id challenge. It is kinda annoying, it appears for each number.

Damn yes that's new. Could be annoying after awhile.

On the good side I was also able to search last 4 digits on a bunch of ladies and I was able to find all their ads. Maybe the ones other tried have deleted their ads, changed numbers or have them hidden because they are off and that's why they couldn't find them.

No Meguiars, I'm sorry to say that you are not on the same page. Nobody is complaining that they can't search if they have the last 4 digits or the name. that's not the problem.

The problem we are discussing is looking at any random SP's ad on LeoList, and not seeing their whole phone number, --- only the last
4 digits --- which is about as useless as tits on a bull. How in hell are we going to phone a lady when we only have 4 numbers ????

It's like somebody telling you : "O.K., give me a call later, my number is 4739. Good luck with that.

I am amazed that the ladies that pay for these ads haven't put up a stink about this.

You just have to click "show" to see the rest of the numbers. I tried it from a few different browsers not logged to any account and it worked.

I just hit the show button? ...LL basically is the same for me, just that minor inconvenience.
