Scams on Locanto

Fat boy said:
I do not ask the lady to do anything to prove their photo authencity. Fake photos are usually used by Asian establishments and it's the managers who write the ads and put the photos up. The numbers in the ads are directed to the managers and not the ladies.
When I decide to visit an Asian establishment, I already know the photo is fake and the name of the lady in the ad will be different from the person I will be seeing.
And in many situations for me, the lady I end up seeing is not too bad after all.

Are the prices accurate too?
 
there are legitimate ads on Locanto but there are so many fakes that I almost don’t see how it’s worth the real ones advertising there... plus if it sounds too good to be true then it probably is !

I do alright on Locanto, i've been paying for my advertisement for over 7 years. Over the years I've slowed down in business but i'm getting older and slowing down too haha.:D
The only thing that irritates me is some new potential clients don't turn up for their appointments and they don't even ring to say they've changed their mind but that's okay...I only deal with real people and the ones who don't turn up get blocked.

Going to have to make some time to visit you Miss Rose!
 
Yeah agree, BC was good at one stage... they brought in BC verified and the ladies were true to their pics. Now it’s back to hit and miss!

My clients take my word that I am legit plus you can see on my advert that my number is real.
My work phone doesn't have a camera, so if anyone asked me to send a picture with something written on it I wouldn't be able to do it.
Oh well, such is life! ;)

It's an old 8 year phone I used when I worked for a Physio's. He didn't want any of his staff sending pictures from those phones.
I do have another up to date phone but that is for family and friends. I think anyone would understand I don't want to use that.
Have a great long weekend everyone 😀
 
Locanto is dodgy, as is Skokka and Escorts and Babes. I always do a reverse image search to attempt to weed out the fakes, but that doesn't always work. A couple of weeks ago an E&B ad seemed genuine as the photos were 'verified' and Google image search couldn't find the photos. But I discovered it was a fake ad when the woman opened the door and she was at least twice the claimed age, and the photos were not her.

Do a reverse image search with google. Its a great way to avoid some of the bait and switch scams.

right click on a photo and select "Search Google for image", scroll down and see where all the pictures appear

If they are legit, the images will only be used on that ad

Here's what it looks like

NB you will not get this "Search Google for image" option on firefox.
right click on image and click 'copy image location'
on firefox, you will have to open 'google images' in a new tab.
in google image, click on search by image (camera icon) and paste into "paste image URL" section.
 
When you search for the photos in this ad the only results are for the advertiser, however the photos are fake. E&B had 'verified photos' on the ad until I complained

Some ads on Skokka are posted multiple times under different cities, the same happens on Locanto. How can the same woman be available in Canberra, Mackay and Mildura on the same night, or in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane! On Skokka there are also a lot of ads with European phone numbers.
 
Has anyone tried the reverse image search on Bing?

I use Google Image Search or Tineye to identify the ladies on my soon to be deleted Yahoo group but when I tried Bing it seems to be filtering out any "adult" images.

I entered a Playboy nude shot of Hiromi Oshima who has bazillions of pics all over the web and it came up with "no matching images found". A clothed shot of her turned up dozen of hits so I suspect some sort of censorship is happening.

I cannot find any sort of menu which allows me to vary the search parameters like Google's "safe search" on or off.

Does anyone know how to get around this problem on Bing?

Go to Bing, put Hiromi Oshima into the search area, select images, across on the top right is 'safe search'. Select OFF.
 
Ah, Nope - That worked on the "image search" with Hiromi typed into the search box but when I tried the reverse image search by dragging a nude image into the search box I got the "no matching images" treatment again. There is a settings menu in the top right corner but nothing there about content filters that I could find.
 
Agree with others always do the reverse image search. Unfortunately it doesn't mean the ones that don't come up aren't fake also. But at leas it weeds some of them out.

Haven't had a lot of experience with this, but I did do a lot of searching on Locanto when I was in Melbourne and everything I wanted to do had shut down due to COVID-19. One thing I noticed was girls using the exact same profile as others. You see this, leave it alone. Others I noticed were in the "Too good to be true" basket. Another one I saw had a number of photos, and no way were they the same girl. Another time I saw the same photos under different names in different locations.

I saw one who kept saying something like, "Only in Melbourne for 2 days", and 2 weeks later they're still in Melbourne for only 2 days.

I feel a little sorry for the genuine ones on Locanto. As I've said before, after a series of disasters in Melbourne I tried one more time when I got back to Adelaide and found one to make up for all my frustrations. They are there, but it's like the princess having to kiss a lot of frogs before finding her prince. Certainly give Skokka a wide birth, that site is a joke.

There is one girl I visit regularly from Skokka there is always an exception..
