Reporting scams

[Delmont]

I’m curious about reporting a scam on the escort site. In the past I’ve reported several fake accounts but nothing gets done. Can anyone add to this we definitely need changes.

Are you talking about reporting it to LL? Check out this thread if you'd like a little more info on how that shit show is run.

And I'll add my two cents about how to change it. Scammers only feed where there is prey to be had. Stay informed, exercise restraint, don't think with your dick, and you're likely not to be a prey yourself. In due time, they will give up taking advantage of people.

Thanks for the advice I read the posts on link you sent me. I can see why LL won’t take down scammer ads they’re making money off them.

Won’t ever happen

There will always be easy victims

I'm a realist as well dude but let's work towards at least reducing the number of incidents. It helps us all out. LL wasn't always as bad as it is now; there was a time when most of the ads were actually legit, believe it or not.

Who will you report the scams to? The police? It's illegal to buy sex in Canada, a first-time offense can lead to 5 years in prison. Sex work is very normalized on this forum, with some members pooning for 40 years, but in reality it's a very serious crime on the books.

If you mean report the scams to LeoList, don't bother, they are in on the scams.

You should be aware that undercover police operate in Canada and set up sting operations. For instance, last year 5 men in London, Ontario, were caught in a sting conducted by London police's sex trafficking unit. So be aware of the risks involved. Another reason to use established providers or agencies.

While this is all technically true, it's a bit heavy on the fear mongering. Police are more concerned with catching sex traffickers, predators, and those in the drug trade. They are all more dangerous to society than some regular schmoe who wants a bit of pickle tickle. Of course, you could unwittingly get caught up in someone else's shit so that's why I recommend agencies and avoid the sketchy indies. And let the dice roll after that.

If you don't think a future Poilievre regime with its western Evangelical base might go after men who pay for sex, you could be in for a rude surprise.

And some men are so oblivious to this (or just plain stupid) that they leave a paper trail to their illegal activities in the form of e-transfers.

Oh boy, getting too political now for my liking. Back to the topic at hand - reporting scams - before we get shut down by the mods....

Yeh e transfers have to be the dumbest thing to happen to seeing escorts lol

Cash is king and will always be king.

you nailed it! I’ve gone on LL and the first page is full of fake accounts. I do google search to find different ads in different cities. I’ll mention on name and that’s Prya that scammer was on the site for months and nothing was done.

I pretty much never use it anymore. The only times I do are to see if SPs are working who I know are legit and I'm already interested in.

The agencies and the local ladies that are around are going up in price. 4 browns is not a good thing
