Avoiding Death Threats - How to advice

[bassfisher1978]

Hi all, I'm a random scroller that likes to go to amps. To protect myself, I don't sign up for these kinds of sites very often. Mostly because they take CC for the ROS (RSO?) and the information can be limited without that. Also, most of these kinds of sites don't get a enough traffic to make my subscription worth it. I was on OH2 for a bit, but even they have slowed down. ECCIE has better info in the free section, and seems to be fairly active, so I'm giving it a shot. I'm also new to the DFW area from out of Austin.



My part of DFW has sucky amps. Additionally, I have a strange feeling the AMP seen is about to ICE over if you know what I mean. So I decided to get adventurous and try to find an individual provider, which I've never done before. Most require references, which I don't have coming from the amp scene, and there are so many fake ads. So I'm flying blind.



I tried texting a few from the various lists, and non of them worked out for me (distance). All of a sudden, I get a text from someone claiming to be a gang/mafia/cartel kinda person and i owe them money for wasting their girl's time. I'm not worried they'll do anything or can even find me, but I don't want to repeat that. So I thought I'd seek some advice. How do I find a provider if I don't have references? What should I look to avoid in an ad? What should I look for as promising in an ad? Also curious if anyone else has gotten the "time wasters death threat" before?

Yeah, I've gotten about 2 or 3. The last one was a month or so ago from a supposed cartel member and called my hobby phone over 10 times in 5 minutes and sent threatening texts and pics. I just ignored it until I got home from work and texted the number back...nothing.

It’s Thursday. We were due for another death threat thread about now.

Btw, don’t respond to the toll road texts either. Same thing.

Use a burner phone or number.

Choose your own adventure after that. Either ignore or screw with them back.

OP, please tell us you aren’t calling from your RW phone.

Best option is to have a burner AND use a disposable phone number like GV. That way you can change numbers without having to get a new phone or changing service.

As far as your other questions on the last paragraph of your initial post, either get p411, which will cost money and require you to provide personal information, or research this site and oh2 for newbie-friendly providers who will give out references. After you see a few of them your way forward becomes much easier.

If you have fears of LE invading the AMP scene, you should also avoid Listcrawler and the like.

RubRankings does have “Verified” status, and a lot of the local women known to guys here also advertise on that site. I’ve seen an increasing number taking advantage of that “Verified” label. So far I’ve not heard of any that were not legitimate providers.

Nah, I use free texting apps and kill my number and get a new one every so often. I'm not sure what GV is though. I'm not worried about LE invading an amp while I'm there, I just have a feeling the new administration is so focused on illegals and trafficking, that we're going to see a number of amps close over time.



Thanks for the hint on RR. Anyone know if AdultSearch verified is a legit verification?

Now there's another layer of security I've not thought about, thanks TinMan. GV number on my burner phone. Wow, not sure how that's escaped me.

GV = Google Voice.



Setup a separate gmail account for the hobby. Then get a GV number for that account. Never cross the two between hobby and real world gmail.

No one who is worth anything makes threats, usually it is candy ass keyboard warriors and schmucks contacting from a spoof email/phone numbers.
