Possible CL Scams

[hsb999]

I never went through with the pre-pay for the date request by the first ad and the $5 "security screening fee" with the second girl... the second girl really led you along for a while b4 popping the "screening fee" question.

"Carmella"
http://edmonton.en.craigslist.ca/ers/1201903460.html
Wanted full prepayment on the date.

"Sami from Finland"
http://edmonton.en.craigslist.ca/ers/1202088164.html
Offering $100/hr "first-timer" specials (wouldn't everyone be a 1st timer since she's from finland and here temporarily)?

Again, not calling them scammers, but definitely in the "warning" category.

This

Instayahoobuzz or aimessage samisnarker

is the NUMBER ONE sign of a scam/webcam/CC ad.

The next thing to look for is the dateXXXX.com website provided in an email.

And in Edmonton, according to the know it all TT300Z, all ads must be accompanied by the sps escort license. In order to determine if she is actually in Edmonton, you should probably email your request for this. She won't know what you are talking about if she isn't in Edmonton lol.

You should also insist on a phone #, or maybe don't even bother contacting anyone who doesn't provide this immediately. Real escorts are in the biz of meeting you, they aren't going to make it difficult for you to get in touch with them or make an appt with them. Keep that in mind when looking at any ads anywhere.

Yeah i got the same run around as you did and mentioned to Carmella that I only live a few blocks away and that if she wanted the money up front i could give it to her in person anywhere she wanted to meet just to see what she would say. She said the bank makes her feel more secure... LOL

Fortunate One offers some pretty good advice. Never give your CC# to anyone wanting to meet or pretty much anything associated to CL. All are almost certainly a scam.

Any girt that I have actually met off of CL has NEVER asked for a CC#.
