411 Gorgeous New Guy in Washington DC: Leonardo S.

[William]

Hey guys, the ad below, for Leonardo S., seems to fall into the category of too-good-to-be-true:

Anyone had experience with this fellow?

 

 

While I have your attention, here is another ad I had not noticed when I was in DC a few months ago: Titantium. The ad reveals virtually nothing about T's service, but the pix are really hot. Any insights?

If you don't mind me asking, what is too-good-to-be-true about this guy?

Very True!

I know for a fact the first picture in "Leonardo's" profile IS Noah Driver's.

Stats & phone don't match Noah, so probably someone has stolen his pic (a surprising choice, too!)

That's what I meant....Noah has his own ad.

Ah, I suspected this guy was using stolen pictures. I checked the picture of Noah on Daddy's Reviews, and it does look like the same guy to me, too.

 

Can someone provide me a link to Noah Driver's picture that was stolen? Thanks in advance . . . .

The first photo of Noah is included in this article:

The second photo is Noah as well and it was probably stolen from his old blog at some point.

 

The blue bathing suit pictures and butt shot are from Ftatmen model:

The penis shot may or mat not belong to the person that placed the ad.

Thanks, Scorpio... I thought that ad was too good to be true... lots of hot pictures on the waybig - fratmen site... too... Thanks again for these links.

Thank you Scorpio, you have a great talent for sniffing out the identities of the Men Behind the Personas.

So I'm still confused about all these stolen pics which seem (though I can't document) to be increasing. In my area about half the MFRN pics appear stolen. So you hire them and the wrong guy shows up and they assume you are all horned up and will pay for anything by then? - what about this pfishing thing? Do they do this to obtain email addresses? I answered one M4RN ad without realizing the pics were stolen (did later search) and all of a sudden I am getting weird ads in my inbox.

911 on Leonardo S., who seems to be a scammer (or worse).

 

He is now advertising in NYC. So Buyers Beware in NYC.

I became convinced some time ago that a number of the people using fake pics (meaning, totally scamming w other people's pics, not just pics of their own that are old) were doing so for multiple reasons. Happily, I've never actually MET one of them, but the reports I've seen on this board indicate that a number of them seem to be in significant trouble - finances, drugs, just down-and-out -- whatever. Hey ... that happens to the best of us, so no value judgments about their hassles. The issue is how they respond to those hassles.

 

My suspicion is that some of them hope, as you suggest, that clients will show up horny as hell, have traveled to meet them, and would rather get off than call it off. (Though I don't see how that would work in a big city like NYC.) But I also have a sneaking suspicion that some of these guys have, indeed, been using those ads to collect e-mail addresses that they sell to various scam/spam/phishing sites. An old e-mail address that I used to use to respond to ads without checking them out here now receives somewhere between 40 and 80 spam mails every day. The address I now use, and that I (almost) never give to anyone who I haven't vetted here one way or the other, doesn't get anywhere NEAR as much spam, and it is of different types.

 

Caveat emptor.

I have contacted RentBoy.com and let them know about this guy. First pic is from a porn shoot I did in Miami, second is from my old blog. Strange...
