Tips on spotting fakes and 'bait and switch' girls

I was browsing Backpage today in several different areas trying to find some new areas to tour. I was blown away by the huge amount of obvious fakes and 'bait and switch' girls using stolen photos. I also read the 'ISO's in a few different areas on the board, which got me to wondering why is it so hard for you guys to spot the fakes? I can look at pictures in these ads and most of the time I can tell immediately if they are real or not.

I decided it would be very helpful to some of you to start a thread on ways to tell if a girl is using her real photos or trying to scam you. I am listing a few ways to tell, feel free to add some of yours if you like.

1. This one is kind of obvious- search the phone number in the 'alerts' or 'review' forums.

2. Do a Google search for the phone number posted in the ad. If the results show multiple ads in multiple cities with different names and photos the girl that answers the door probably won't be the one in the photos.

3. 3. This is a great tool to use: http://www.tineye.com/
Simply download and save the picture in question to your computer. Go to tineye.com and upload the picture. It will search the web for you and tell you in a few seconds where the image came from. Chances are if the picture has hits on tineye the girl is using images she has stolen off of the web somewhere and they are not her. Lots of these girls steal pictures of porn stars, web cam models, and lingerie models.

4. Right click on the photo in question. After you click on the 'save image as' look at the file name and see what it says. If it says something like Karla Spice it's probably stolen.

5. Another obvious one, I know- If it looks TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE it probably is.

None of these methods are 100% foolproof but if you do your research you can save yourself some time and aggravation.

Lastly, if the girl that comes to see you or answers the door isn't the one in the photos on her ad SIMPLY REFUSE TO SEE HER! The main reason the scammers stay in business is because you guys continue to reward them for DECEIVING you!
Good information Tiffany.......thanks

Easier said than done. If the girl comes to you, who is with her? Does she have a driver/bodyguard/pimp? If you refuse to see her, they may intimidate you, cause a scene, rough you up, or all of the above. Try explaining that to the neighbors, hotel staff, and/or fellow guests. If you go to the girl, just who else is behind the door. See above for possible results of refusing to meet.

Thankfully I have not been in that situation! (yet!!) Were it to happen at an incall, I'd simply say that I must have the wrong room. At your place, I'd say you must have made a mistake, no-one by that name lives here.

Great info Tiff.
If it was a no brainer, why all the " She was bait and switch reviews". Its weird the women can spot a bait and switch ad, quicker than men. If the pictures are just too picture perfect, not a flaw anywhere. Run
