Well he claims, "I can drive", so maybe Uber service is included?

So you've had a keen interest in 'Billy', and writing about him here since last month.

MENLO PARK, Calif. --
A Bay Area woman said she was left to deal with a massive cleanup at her home after it was trashed by a sex worker who rented it on the popular home-sharing website Airbnb.
 
According to homeowner Sharon Marzouk, evidence suggested the renter was shooting pornographic photos and videos inside the Menlo Park house.
 
Marzouk posted video to Facebook showing a huge mess. Her home sustained extensive water damage after the Airbnb guest allegedly left the bathtub running, Marzouk said.
 
"There was water pouring from the second floor to the first floor," the host said in a Skype interview.
 
Marzouk believed it was an accident, but damage estimates have exceeded $10,000.
 
"The place is destroyed," she said.
 
Marzouk said Airbnb was slow to respond when she called to report the damage.
 
The woman renting the room had told Marzouk she was a real estate agent, but things didn't add up.
 
"I realized that I didn't know who the person in my house was," Marzouk said. "As the pieces fell into place that she was more than likely using my bathroom as a business to take photos of herself."
 
The homeowner believes the guest installed extra lighting in the bathroom, then later left behind sex toys and a handwritten list of pornographic pictures she was planning to shoot.
 
"I gave my key to someone who Airbnb didn't even check their identification," Marzouk said.
 
In a statement, Airbnb spokesman Nick Shapiro said, "We have zero tolerance for this kind of behavior and have removed this guest from our platform."
 
Airbnb offers multiple safeguards, according to the company's website. It states hosts can vet renter on Airbnb.com by requiring them to provide government-issued identification.
 
The company said it was working to cover the cost of the damage at Marzouk's home.

Well you can always pick a hot needy young thing off the side of the road, and he will be grateful for a room over his head, and not having to sleep with 1 eye open....

There you go Desperado, Axiom & Dione Warwick have lots of friends in San Jose!

You can really breathe in San José
They've got a lot of space
There'll be a place where I can stay
I was born and raised in San José
I'm going back to find
Some peace of mind in San José
 
Fame and fortune is a magnet
It can pull you far away from home
With a dream in your heart you're never alone
Dreams turn into dust and blow away
And there you are without a friend
You pack your car and ride away
I've got lots of friends in San José
Do you know the way to San José?

So you've had a keen interest in 'Billy', and writing about him here since last month.

Welcome to the M-F James!
 
When in SF last year I saw Richardo. Those are his pics, he is handsome and chiseled.
Grade C massage in a cold apartment near Dolores Park.
As per your special request, you may ask him in advance, and offer some inducement/s. ($$$)

Kid is handsome! Sort of reminds me of Bruno Mars.

He lives in my neighborhood. I've seen him in passing. He looks like his photos. He's adorable.

I understand it must have been tedious and annoying to have someone "blowing up" your phone and in box. But if your comments were "the whole truth, nothing but the truth . . ." why not stand by them, and perhaps let RM know that you were being contacted (read: harassed?) by the escort.
 
IMO, guys who 'stage manage' their reviews like that give both the review system and better escorts a bad name.

For someone who (purports to) fly Private Jets, you tell the Hoi Polloi that hang out here Jimboi!

That thread is genuinely useless.

From The Importance of Being Earnest, by Oscar Wilde:
 


Lady Bracknell. A country house! How many bedrooms? Well, that point can be cleared up afterwards. You have a town house, I hope? A girl with a simple, unspoiled nature, like Gwendolen, could hardly be expected to reside in the country.
 
 
Jack. Well, I own a house in Belgrave Square, but it is let by the year to Lady Bloxham. Of course, I can get it back whenever I like, at six months’ notice.
 
 
Lady Bracknell. Lady Bloxham? I don’t know her.
 
 
Jack. Oh, she goes about very little. She is a lady considerably advanced in years.
 
 
Lady Bracknell. Ah, nowadays that is no guarantee of respectability of character. What number in Belgrave Square?
 
 
Jack. 149.
 
 
Lady Bracknell. [shaking her head.] The unfashionable side. I thought there was something. However, that could easily be altered.

 
Jack. Do you mean the fashion, or the side?
 
Lady Bracknell. [sternly.] Both, if necessary, I presume.

Actually, it's been fashionable with certain escorts for some time.

Well, plagiarism is quite fashionable these days.

#24. "I am one of the most popular escorts in (name city), just look at my numerous reviews"

Well, I know who I will not hire.

Agreed. Though I prefer the more technical term: tridigital chronofacial verifier

In Online Dating, ‘Sextortion’ and Scams

DATING websites and apps typically see a surge in activity this time of year as people who felt lonely over the holidays try to follow through on New Year’s resolutions to find someone special with whom to share their life, or maybe just someone agreeable to share their bed on a cold winter’s night.
 
But whether they’re looking for sexcapades or long walks on the beach, the desire for companionship and connection makes people vulnerable to a most 21st-century crime: the online romance scam, which bilked victims of all ages and orientations out of more than $200 million last year, according to the F.B.I.
 
“The drive to find a preferred mate is extremely powerful,” said Lucy Brown, a clinical professor of neurology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, who studies the brain activity of people in love. “It’s a reflexive urge, like hunger and thirst,” which can cloud judgment and make people less likely to question the motives of an online match.
 
Moreover, she said, romantic love can produce feelings of euphoria similar to the effects of cocaine or heroin, which explains why otherwise intelligent and accomplished people do irrational things to get a fix. Of course, people have always been fools for love — it’s just that the global reach and altered reality of the Internet increases the risk and can make the emotional and financial damage more severe.Have you been targeted on a dating site or app? If so, how did it unfold and how did you find out? Share your story in the comments with this article or on Facebook. Please avoid descriptions that could identify an individual or site. We may highlight your response in a follow-up article.
 
 
“I don’t think there is a general understanding of how much of this romance scam stuff is out there, how it works and what the consequences are,” said Steven Baker, director of the Midwest region of the Federal Trade Commission. “It’s staggering how many people fall for it.”
 
Scammers typically create fake profiles on dating sites and apps like Match.com, OkCupid, eHarmony, Grindr and Tinderusing pictures of attractive men and women — often real people whose identities they’ve filched off Facebook, Instagram or other social media sites. This lures victims who swipe or click to begin corresponding.
 
The perpetrators may be working out of call centers in West Africa, wooing four or five people at a time. Or it could be some dude at a Starbucks texting victims on his cellphone, or a pajama-clad woman in her apartment sending bogus love bombs from her laptop. They may assume the identity of actual soldiers deployed overseas or pretend to be engineers working on projects in far-flung locales. Scammers have also been known to pose as university professors, clergy members, doctors, chefs, swimsuit models, waitresses, nurses and librarians.
 
“They have a canny ability to mirror what the victim seems to need and to create a sense of intimacy very quickly,” said Debbie Deem, a victim specialist at the F.B.I.’s Los Angeles bureau. “They are able to manipulate the victim into believing they have found their one true soul mate.”
 
Victims are as likely to be men as women, young, old or middle-aged, gay or straight, highly or poorly educated. After a few days, weeks or even months of romantic and sometimes hotly erotic back-and-forth via email, text or Skype, come the requests for money.
 
Maybe the soldier needs a new cellphone so the lovers can better communicate or needs cash to get the necessary papers to go on leave so they can finally meet. The offshore engineer says his child is in the hospital and he’s having trouble wiring money to cover medical expenses. The model or nurse may need money to pay lawyers’ fees to get a restraining order against an abusive ex. Or maybe the scammer doesn’t ask for money at all but requests that the victim receive money and then transfer it to another account, giving marginally plausible reasons.
 
“It’s common for victims to become money mules where they are unwittingly helping facilitate other crimes,” Mr. Baker said. “There have been prosecutions of victims who kept receiving and sending money even when they were firmly told they were working for crooks.” Yet prosecutionsof romance scammers have been rare, thanks to the anonymity of the Internet and the difficulty of tracing wired funds.
 
In the latest twist, scammers coax victims into taking explicit photos and videos of themselves and then threaten to distribute them to their Facebook or Skype contacts if they don’t pay them money or help them launder money.
 
“We’re seeing a lot of these sextortion cases lately,” said Wayne May, an administrator who gives advice to the lovelorn on the website ScamSurvivors. “We get about 30 requests for help a day,” usually from young men who sent a picture of their privates to a buxom Tinder match who turned out to be a blackmailer. AARP has been fielding similarly cringe-worthy distress calls from seniors who exposed themselves in front of a webcam.
 
There are even reports of online recruiting of youths to join the Islamic State using romance and marriage as enticements. Young women, particularly in the West, are promised a so-called jihottie (jihadist hottie) of their choosing for a husband. Young men are offered an attractive and devoted wife, which they might not have the money or social standing to obtain otherwise, particularly if they live in the Middle East, where unemployment is forcing many to delay marriage (and sex if they are devout).
 
“There is a lot of talk about developing love, falling in love and finding love on the battlefield,” said Katherine Brown, a lecturer of Islamic studies at the University of Birmingham in Britain who researches terrorist recruitment tactics. “They present quite a saccharine image of romance and marriage using the image of the lion and lioness together, supporting each other, being best friends and companions.”
 
The F.T.C., F.B.I., Homeland Security, State Department and United States Army Criminal Investigation Command have reported an avalanche of complaints about scams in the past two years. Average financial losses are $5,000 to $10,000, but the F.B.I. says many victims have lost more than $400,000. And these are just losses reported by those who fessed up to being had.
 
“I more often hear from people who call on behalf of a relative or friend who is getting scammed,” said Chris Grey, director of public affairs for the Army’s Criminal Investigation Command who learned quickly not to contact the victim in these cases. “I’ve been cussed out that I don’t know what I’m talking about because they are so infatuated with this person they’ve never even met.”
 
Psychology experts liken this to the crushes or strong feelings of connection people develop for sports figures, , actors and other celebrities. It’s easy to project perfection on someone you’ve never met, particularly if, along with a pretty face, he or she is emailing, texting and calling every day or several times a day telling you how awesome you are.
 
“For most of us, there are pockets and maybe whole sections of our minds and hearts that are not really reality-driven,” said Stephen Seligman, a psychoanalyst and clinical professor of psychiatry at the University of California, San Francisco.
 
That puts law enforcement officials in a bind when lovestruck victims so willingly and willfully participate in ruses. “People don’t want to know what’s behind the curtain,” said Mr. Grey. “They really don’t.”

God love the headless wonders.
