Alarm bells for me includes one if not more of the following:
1) Provider won't accept text (indicates a cheap cell phone plan which implies provider is either cheap or unsophisticated)
2) Won't accept blocked caller ID (there's a reason we call it a hobby phone)
3) Provides the following disclaimer in the ad "Money exchanged is for my time only and is not an offer of prostitution" or "By contacting me, you are not connected with law enforcement and are in no way attempting to entrap me."

I won't even give my number out until a few hours before meeting, and I make it clear that it is only to be used for confirming directions, etc.
2- if you have a HOBBY PHONE, you shouldn't need to block your number. No name will come up
3 - that's naive ladies thinking LE won't pop them anyways, it doesn't mean they're bad providers.
