Interesting Tahoe Craigslist Ad... (NSR)

[yogachik]

maybe she will have a good laugh and we'll have a new maggette here.

doubtful though. and, I can't believe I'm actually typing this - but I think Squawman may be right (oh that was painful to say) about the scam.

No way. Squawman is just stupido here.
Why would you bother creating a trail of conversation and IP info just to find a house to rob? thats way too much work and way to retarded.

COP: So, has there been any unusual activity recently
You: Well, there was this girl I met from the internet who was trying to trade sex for rent

If you want to rob a vacant house in tahoe:
1) look for no tire tracks (duh, its winter)
2)cut the phone lines and remove the electric meter or break open a door and hide in the woods to see if cops show up.
3) if no cops or security, then rob the place silly.

Why even fuck with the internet??

I blame Squawman.

I think the email went something like this:

"Excuse me, DD, but I know some folks that have been pretending to solicit you for a sex for rent deal, and I told them you are a cop, but they dont beilieve me, so I'm letting you know that I know that you are a cop, and they aren't really serious, so just stop this sting operation"

She, "saw the thread, elizabeth" not the "Elizabeth" thread. Though, I like the conspiracy theory.

[dbp]

Splat -- or anyone else -- why not offer to take her and her kid out to dinner to make amends? I'll pony up some dough to paypal. I'd bet you could get $200 easy.

All the "fat whore" shit is fucking weak. Anything you wouldn't say to someone's face you shouldn't say here.

Edit: Core Shot kinda beat me to it, but I like my idea better.

I would agree about the "fat" part, but not the "whore" part. I don't think two consenting adults trading sex for compensation is necessarily immoral, but it is certainly deserving of derision. I certainly don't think anyone needs to make amends. Just my .02

[yogachik]

chica, you rock

[Core Shot]

Can I order one of those from cafepress??

Maybe a slogan like "Runaway Ho" would be nice.
Ties in with the whole runaway bride craze.

yes, i guess i am clueless considering i haven't spent every waking minute tracking all minut details of this thread. Care to elaborate?

[SquawMan]

CoreShot, most likely it would have been a blackmail scam more than a house robbing scam, but you never know....who you give cops those emails if 2 months down the road your Tahoe house got robbed?

[skideeppow]

NO elaboration here, I just picked up on this thread at 5 qand it took a hour to read the 14 pages. I am on vaction from work and have way too much time on my hands.

Ummmm, that's called marriage dude.

number 1, it's more likely it's a blackmail scam....you show up, her convict boyfriend follows you to your car or worse, follows you home to get your address, then they threaten to send the emails to your boss at work, your wife/husband, etc if you don't pay them off. Her trail is gone, all she has to do is use a library computer, but yours isn't

I can't believe you people actually sent her emails knowing your IP addresses could get recorded. oh well

number 2, if they were using it to scope out houses, they wouldn't rob it right away, they'd just collect targets to rob whenever they felt like it, maybe a month later. and what are you going to do, go to the cops with emails suggested YOU wanted to trade rent for sex? her email is not traceable anyway

number 3, if you give her $20 bucks, I'm sure she'd tell you who tipped her off

If you guys like this sort of thing, I would urge you to check out 419eater.com. It is a scambaiting site targeted at 419 scammers (the Nigerian guys). You essentially enter into a dialogue with the scammer to 1) waste their time and 2) entertain yourself. I have a couple of friends who did this once. It seems like the ultimate goal is to string their greedy ass along to the point where they will do anything to get money from you.

What an absolutely shitty way to end Friday the 13th. The Horror!!!!!!!

Oh my god. Doood, were you born stupid or did you have to study?

If you called any self-respecting hooker a "whore" I bet you'd get your nuts kicked.

I've been gone for 8 hours and now we're on page 16, and almost had a meeting planned?

Holy hell, this is a fun group - props to YC!

In Buenos Aires, A friend and I went to a bordello club. Place was unreal. Must have been 20 to 1 odds - in our favor. Many of the girls there were unbelievably gorgeous. The girls took off their clothes, then the madame sang a song, then a couple did the tango, etc., etc. Place was like a reincarnation of The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, complete with Burt Reynolds and Dolly Parton characters. The doorman was a Latino dude from West Covina. The two hour a pop hotel was just down the street if you wanted to take a girl to a room. While drinking, we met an orange grower named Aldo.

Aldo was really a cool old dude. He told us about how girls drift into BA from all over South America in hopes of finding a better life and, in desperation, end up selling their bodies to get by. He explained that they were actually very good people looking for a way to get by until they found something better. He told us how he took one girl home, 300 km away, for three months. Which was kinda funny, because he also told us he was married. But he said this girl was always correct and helped his wife around the house and was his concubine and it all worked out because his girl was good people.

The Yank doorman, who'd let his visa expire and was working under the table, said he never wanted to go home. He'd met the girl of his dreams while she was applying for a job at the club, hooked up with her, and married her. He was in Heaven and supported her while she attended college. He said the same things about the girls at the club as Aldo. They were just trying to get by. The perspective was very interesting. Prostitution is legal throughout most of South America and the taboo doesn't exist like it does here in our falsely puritanical society.

This was a funny played out on the interweb out of that end of season boredom that prevails here. Nobody's feelings were intended to be hurt. I live somewhere that prostitution is legal. I've heard the pros and cons and believe legality is good for the biological sanity of the male segment of society. Nobody here has walked in her shoes and knows how good or bad this woman is. Honestly, I can't pass judgement. Gig's up.
Best of luck to her.

This totally blows a big one. SquawMan, no offense, but you're being an idiot. First you act all scared like it's a cop scam, then you try to be cool posting a picture of what Splat should dress up like during the meeting, and then you're back to idiot-mode. I wouldn't be surprised if it was you who clued Jessica or whomever it was in on our little game. Boooo to you. No points.

What a great thread though, eh? And Splat, we're still on for apps and drinks on Sunday. I have your number.
