Yes, unfortunately still some folks look for the "diamond in the rough" or a cheaper rate from hustlers out of Craigslist, BP, and now Grindr instead of going to RM to hire professionals who do this for a living and want to keep on doing it.
I'm not saying hiring is always safe when some folks do PNP or someone escorts out of desperation, but it's certainly safer hiring from a site that hast the name, credit card, address, IP address, etc. of the escort on file.
Ps.: I'm aware that Craigslist and BP no longer get involved in this kind of services. Craigslist stopped the "personals" section because of this local murder.
