P411 Money Grab by Gina and again more suspicion of LE use reported by Maggie McNeil long time sexwork advocate.
It has been well documented how Gina of P411 for the most part ignores reports of suspected LE activity and the many upset escorts over the last few years. LE it appears has used P411 since the FBI reported "On June 12 and 13, 2013, Denver Metro area law enforcement agencies participated in an operation that concentrated on escorts advertising on the Internet site www.preferred411.com. Investigators have found this site to be used nationwide to advertise for the purposes of prostitution and to verify 'clients.'” Source: https://www.fbi.gov/denver/press-rel...ng-in-colorado

Every so often “Something in the Milk” gets a boost in attention again, either because I retweet it or someone posts it on a review board or something like that. And oddly, whenever it happens there is often some new weirdness going on at P411. This time, for example, P411 has just made a number of new demands of escorts; it has demanded the right to “approve” their personal websites, even charging them for that “approval” until Gina realized that was too transparent a money-grab. The conditions for approval include “A [linked] P411 badge or banner…must appear in a prominent position on a Main/Front page of your website” and “Sites that present a conflict of interest due to close affiliation with competitors, will not be approved (ie: a site/page hosted by EscortDesign/PureVIP, Date-Check, etc.). Links and banners to legitimate competitors, are fine.” The accusation has previously been made that Gina’s trying to cash in before she cashes out, and this looks like yet another example of that. And then just a few days ago, I got this letter from a reader; I have no way to directly verify these statements, so I’m presenting the letter without any further comment. If you have information which would tend to corroborate this, however, please email me.
This is in regard to Preferred411. I just finished reading your article on another woman who has traced P411 members back to a police department. The same thing has happened to me…and it has happened when another local woman sent me a questionable scheduling request to help her double check it. Both men were hiding behind computer jobs. Both times were reported to Gina and it was just brushed off that cops do enjoy visiting with ladies…but she did end up closing down their accounts. Both findings happened within the past 3 months. After this happened, I’ve suspected an owner assisted infiltration within P411 & I have been on high alert ever since.
I had p411 member visit 2x with me and at the end of December he tried to schedule a 3rd time. I was already suspicious of him because though he went into my bathroom every 15 min during his visits, there was no running of water, no flushing of the toilet, no tissues in the garbage can, no towels touched, no water drops in the sink…in each of the 5-8 minutes he spent in there. Nothing at all. I found this to be very strange…after both times he left, I searched every nook and cranny, including underneath my sink with a mag light, to make sure that there were no eavesdropping devices or similar implanted. On the 3rd time he tried to schedule with me, he told me very slowly that our next appointment “would be full of unexpected surprises & a new year that I would not soon forget.” It made my skin go cold. Luckily, I had already told another local escort about this man & his odd behavior, and when he later tried to schedule with her he grew very angry and agitated with her when she declined him.
There has been a lot of other weird activity coming from p411 since mid-September, and not just for me & the others I’ve already mentioned. I have to screen p411 requests harder than I have to screen the regular ones lately; I don’t trust p411 right now & believe something’s up with it. How many others might there be who aren’t saying anything?
So, escort readers; have you experienced anything odd and iffy from P411 in the past few months? I haven’t heard anything similar from gentlemen, but if any of y’all have anything to report I would certainly be interested in hearing it.
