Florida prostitution sting

I'm sure you all have read about the sting that went down this week. I'm curious to know how Leo was able to trick so many folks and how to avoid the same mistake. Any Intel would be appreciated.
I’m supposed to heading there in a couple weeks.

Do you have a link to t he article?
I know it was in Polk county...….
