New posts on BP with a 780 number: http://stjohn.backpage.ca/FemaleEscorts/anika-you-txt-me-780-666-3317-early-morning-incall-pecials-2day-only-%D1%8F%D1%94-%CF%83%D0%BC%D0%BC%D1%94%D0%B8-%D1%94-and-%D1%8F%D1%94%CE%BD%CE%B9%D1%94/2776527 Some of the pictures I recognize, other seem new, including one of another girl with a 506 number: http://newbrunswick.backpage.ca/FemaleEscorts/-/3242967 I've never seen her, but hear very good things. I'm thinking this isn't her, which is a shame.

I agree - the best one can do is minimize the risk of a bad encounter. That was certainly the spirit of my initial suggestion, but I totally understand that this would be redundant for providers who already have an established presence beyond BP, etc. And the others providers probably aren't here to see the suggestion. Thanks for all the insightful comments and advice!

"There is a very strong gang operating and trafficking underage and coerced women in the maritimes. Putting a newspaper in the selfie will not address this." I'm very sorry to hear this. I assumed this was an issue in the larger centres. This is a totally different issue, but obviously much more important. How does one address this issue while finding an attractive provider in a region where very few have websites, etc.? Do you have any advice for avoiding bad situations (i.e. exploited women and scammers)? Thank you very much.

Don't necessarily disagree, but this is an intentional over-simplification of the issue for the purposes of ingratiation with the dominant demographic found here. Just sayn'...

"All these problems can be SIMPLY avoided with a small investment of a bit of time into research, communication and a little extra $ to find someone who has a proven history of stellar experiences. Don't scrimp out or cut yourself short due lack of due diligence. You deserve better..." Sorry - this may be the reality in Ottawa or Toronto, but it is simply not the case in the city in which I live. BP adds are pretty much it, aside from providers on a traveling circuit who advertise on BP but also have their own sites. But don't don't feel too badly for us - some of the newer providers are hot as balls... Even if this weren't the case, there is something to be said for sweet, youthful (i.e mid to low 20's) inexperience. I expect some of the more mature providers may disagree with this, but diversity of opinion is what makes the world go round! I just need to be able to reliably confirm new talent as it arises.

"Do the research and you will thank yourself. SPs alone cannot held responsible for proving themselves to be reputable. Men also have to be a part of this equation since this is what could eventually stop the bait and switch scams and the fraudsters by doing their research and avoiding these people." I agree that SP's aren't responsible for proving themselves to be reputable, but isn't it in their best interest to do so? If this is a service industry, would it make sense to make that research as easy as possible? Imagine that a pawn shop buys a Rolex, complete with the original box and all the papers. I guarantee the pawn shop would put everything out together in the display case. They wouldn't display only the watch and say "The customer should be responsible to do their research to determine that this is authentic. It's not up to me to prove it, or do their research for them."

Okay - I think the women replying here are not in circumstances that would benefit from my suggestion. If you have a website, then that pretty much speaks for itself. But there are plenty with alternate circumstances. I've been looking at the ads on BP in the small city where I reside. None of the providers seem to have any sort of website. Many have great photos; some are fake and some are legit (according to credible discussion on this forum), but it takes a while to discern between the two possibilities. Speaking of this forum - many of the discussions in the smaller cities here are concerned with the very issues I raise. This isn't just because clients are lazy.Research can confirm a fake, but it doesn't confirm authenticity. For instance, Google can tell you the photo isn't posted somewhere else. It can't tell you that the photo was taken today in the city where you are located. That last sentence is a major selling point, and not because I'm unduly timid. I just don't want to waste my time going down a fake path. If you're posting an ad, I assume it's because you want new clients to call. If you can make this easy by setting the client's mind at ease, then I suspect you are likely to get more calls. I would also think that cautious, deliberate clients are somewhat desirable (although I take the point above about people who are unduly fearful). I admit this is just speculation on my part, as I don't really know any of this for a fact. Again - if you already have a full website - god bless. You have gone above and beyond the call of duty. We don't get many like you out here in the sticks. We do have some great providers though, and I still think they might do well to take a quick selfie with the newspaper.

Obviously everybody is free to run their business anyway they want. And obviously clients can research authenticity issues in a number of different ways. That said, I would have thought that an advertisement that made further research unnecessary would be better than and advertisement that required further research? It would be a bit like a regular business saying "We don't need to put contact information in the ad; customers can go online and find that." True - they can, but if you give them the contact info in the ad, then they don't need to. It's one less obstacle to them making the call or visiting the store, which is the whole point of the ad. For me, if I was trying to decide between two ads, I would definitely go with the one that let me immediately confirm the most information.

"Members of the Medicine Hat Police Service Priority Street Crime Unit responded to a website ad in regards to a female offering to provide sexual services at the hotel. The unit conducted surveillance on the hotel and subsequently arrested the man who went to the room." I agree that there must be more to this story. I can buy it that LE discovered the location and set-up on it. That would be easy enough. They might even arrest someone who showed up at the address. But at this point they wouldn't even have been in the ballpark of proving an offence. The only thing that I can think of it that maybe the guy confessed? Or they could somehow overhear the conversation from the hall? Otherwise, how could they prove anything based on these facts? Maybe someone in Medicine Hat can follow up with the evidence/result in this case.

This may sound a little weird, but wouldn't it make sense for people posting services on BP to include a picture of them that features the current edition of the newspaper from the city in which they are located? This would take an extra 5 minutes, but think of how many potential issues this one simple act would instantly put to rest (i.e. authenticity of photos, age of photos, actual location, etc.). Any reason not to do this?
