disrupt 220 Report post Posted September 29, 2017 Hi, wondering if I have been compromised. I contacted a person on CL (I know, my bad) via email to inquire about rates, etc, and after some email correspondence, I had asked for a picture and the person said that they would send it to my phone. Stupidly, I gave them my cell number and they sent a picture. Following that, I replied to set an appointment and then radio silence. I went back to the CL ad and the ad was pulled. Am I compromised? Another reason to not trust CL. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
harboursmoke 3087 Report post Posted October 1, 2017 No idea what their intent was. But the more time between you an in the incident I would say the greater chance you are going to me ok. Having said this I recently learned the hard way as well that its a burner phone or nothing in this hobby. Highly recommend a burner phone! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rambler1980 1359 Report post Posted October 3, 2017 I use one of the many apps for texting with a real number on my phone. They are free and easy. I know many providers say "no texting apps" but they don't have a way to know and I think what they are really saying is "don't be a jerk, text me if you want service, not to chat" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
