fsummers 350 Report post Posted January 22, 2016 Ok thats harsh especially when there are several reputable touring ladies as well as a couple of well known and well liked local ladies. But the reality is the majority of ladies on BP are either fakes or are so bad at advertising they are turning away potential client with their fake and stolen photos and the lack of good information in their post. Ok if you are looking at a new ad of an unknown lady use tineye AND google image search to verify every photo. Then go a google search of the phone number (eg search on 'xxx xxx-xxxx escort review' to see what pops up. Try to find a mention on the local board here. I have seen ad after ad fail the tineye test, fail the google image test. I have found ads using other SP's numbers. Its truly pathetic now. Stick with the tried and tru until things get better 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fresh 8278 Report post Posted January 22, 2016 One of my favourites who toured hear grumbled about how bad some guys here wasted her time with texts that went no some who would keep changing their number to send her messages (obviously using the app). She said she was sick of Winnipeg. So maybe it goes both ways. And maybe we are loosing good providers touring here because of guys being stupid. Doesn't seem to be as many quality providers coming to Winnipeg lately and advertising through this site. Maybe we need to lobby some of them to come here but give enough booking through this site so that they don't have to put up with the back page bs either.

Ice4fun 78407 Report post Posted January 23, 2016 I am not From Winnipeg but as I read this thread I am struck by the fact that the situation is probably not that much different here in St. John's.... I think the local market here has been flooded with reduced service level BP ads where providers are competing based upon cost and as a result making it harder for more reputable local and touring ladies who may charge more but provide an extremely better experience that in my opinion is actually cheaper if all factors are taken into account. Many BP ads quote rates that are designed to attract our eye but in fact are not the actual cost of the actual services we are looking for... everything is an extra... ie. yeah I do that but it's more. Many BP ads are for ladies whose actual in call location is nothing like the high end hotels in their pictures and as we all know too well the their pictures even when actual pictures of them are not truly representative of their current appearance. There is good reasons why Lyla ladies and other professionals in this business charge more it's because to operate professionally in this industry they have to invest in themselves... photos... gym... healthy eating.... periods away from work for rejuvenation to say nothing of the cost associated for travel... incall locations etc. Guys... we get what we pay for... if we pass up on the wonderful Lyla lady for the $80 hh special then we should not be surprised if the local lady moves along and the touring gems stop including our smaller market cities in their schedule. Now before I get called on for beating up on BP let me just just that it can be a great advertising location...an is used by many many very reputable high end providers I'm just saying the onus is on us clients to do the homework... verify the ads... share our experience and not look to always get a deal that all to often is not really a deal at all..... if you pay $80 for hh instead of $300 for an hour but actually only stay $15 minutes and leave without even your $80 expectations met have you really saved any money?

Cloud 1210 Report post Posted January 24, 2016 I laughed when I read the title of this thread. Is BP still free for escorts? That's the problem right there. It costs a scam artist nothing to post an ad with stolen pics and a bogus description. That's why you should use sites that charge escorts a fee for advertising.

Nope, they are one of the most expensive options for advertising. However, there is no verification of photos, no confirmation of ages, just send them money, and they can post. Craigslist however is free, and even more scams on that one. I just wish guys would use other resources to find providers. Once the guys stop using it to find providers, the scammers will either stop, or go legit. I know this won't happen, but a girl can dream. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EC is still the best way to go in my opinion, and would venture to guess that almost all on there are legit with accurate photos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amanda-Lee 11094 Report post Posted January 29, 2016 This is unfortunate to hear. If every gentleman searching for ladies on BP and find their photos are fake, are you reporting those ads to BP? This can help if you are being consistent and not grumble when you discover they are fake, and move on to another lady. You can also email BP those links, the IDs, maybe BP won't care but if they get enough emails maybe something can be done. Personally, I get most of my calls from BP. I don't post all the time, at most I've posted 6 times in one day, but I really only need to post between 1-3 times and from that my day is full. If you want ladies to go to your city you can always inquire them to travel to said city. I am sure she would want a booking deposit for making time to book a hotel, flight/train/bus. As long as you are nice and respectful there shouldn't be an issue in asking, the worst she can say is, "no, I am not planning to tour in that city, but I will keep your inquiry in mind. I can send you an email to let you know if I will be touring in your city." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The good news Amanda is the fact that most of the time the fake ads on BP are pretty easy to identify and ignore (probably why you are finding the ads working for you) the bad news is the fact that too many guys just can't resist trying to get a deal ... they get burned but still seem to fall for the same thing next time... we can't just blame the ladies... the gentlemen create the market.

damatt 340 Report post Posted April 6, 2016 I disagree with the phone number search because its a well known fact that trolls and other people from other boards and the competition go out of their way to trash a service provider, for no valid reason except just to hurt her business. they meta tag her phone number. why would anyone go to such effort unless they were the competition? the guys from other boards would say their gripe and be done with t. I mean, did you even fully read the introduction page when you signed up for membership here? a good SP will also provide private recommendations, and her link to other review sites Additional Comments: there are too many ''cheap guys'' out there that are causing resentment in BP girls because they are ������ to lower their rates and are mistreated. its no wonder some girls are providing sub par service 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Regent 35404 Report post Posted April 6, 2016 Don't discount BP. Most of my clients find me there. All of the SPs I work with advertise there, and I see many reputable SPs from Lyla also advertising on BP. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hugh G Rekshun 630 Report post Posted April 6, 2016 Don't discount BP. Most of my clients find me there. All of the SPs I work with advertise there, and I see many reputable SPs from Lyla also advertising on BP. Regent, I think most of the posts are targeting the "Escorts" section of BP. You advertise in "Dom&Fetish" which seems more straight-up to me. (ironic, the kinky stuff is more straight-up!) BP is what it is, so it's Buyer Beware. The ad sections of the major boards have much less BS, as I think most gents recognize, but of course the quality of services by even those SPs is all over the map. If potential clients peruse BP enough and read reviews regularly on other, more balanced boards, they will learn to instinctively single-out who on BP looks like she has potential, and who doesn't. I find the Escorts section is necessary to find out who LH has sent to town, can't get that info elsewhere. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chiveonwpg 100 Report post Posted April 12, 2016 I think BP is popular because it is easy to find. In turning an interest to this hobby BP was one of the first sites I found. It took a little more searching and then I discovered this board (and the other one) and have been very fortunate to read all the good advice being provided. I'm not an overly active hobbyist so I haven't had much to share so I thank those that do contribute. Anyways I would think that for a lot of people BP gives them what they want and there is probably a lot of trial an error which allows the scammers to survive. Its too bad, I haven't been scammed yet but because I didn't fact check enough one time I was thoroughly disappointed in not getting what I thought I would get.

stressrelease 524 Report post Posted April 12, 2016 Of course when the sample size increases, the chance of more inaccurate or false ads increases. That's why in Fetish you may get (or it appears you get) more legit ads, cause there are fewer ads...in the other categories there are so many more ads, thus you need to fish through them and be wary of who you contact and agree to meet....just natural...sucks it's that way, but there are always going to be those trying to find an opportunity.

It costs a scam artist nothing to post an ad with stolen pics and a bogus description. That's why you should use sites that charge escorts a fee for advertising. Actually, this has nothing to do with anything and the opposite is true. I don't pay lyla a dime (we only have to pay for banners and such) but if I were to be on BP I would have to pay. Price is not why I avoid BP like the plague, the reputation of the site and the types of people on them (hobbyists and SPs alike) is what influences my decision. These scamsters don't mind paying the fee because they make a ton of money fooling people. They don't come here on lyla because if they do, they get found out in no time and are banned. That's the real difference IMO. Lyla has accountability and mod who actually does his job...and very freaking well at that!! BP doesn't care as long as they get their fee. There's no policing so chaos reigns. I do see why you would think that, but its not the case. xo 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
