Drive-by, hit-and-run, city baiting, and other scams


Capitano

Recommended Posts

Old ads disappear real fast but new ones are readily available!

One more indicator that this is some kind of hit-and-run scam.

 

The recipe: the same stupid text, pix likely stolen from another model, $150 incall / $250 outcall,

unclear location, often having home in a city but also visiting the same city for a month.

Or visiting 3 cities that are far apart.

A hot looking guy posted the exact same ad in Kansas City but with different pics. Word for word. No wonder I can’t find any reviews.

I am so done with rentmasseur too, I deleted my profile there when they stopped letting you view private images even if the masseur granted you permission.

:-(

 

The only explanation I have for these ads is that one dude who speaks English communicates and schedules for a whole bunch of guys living or present at all these locations. That's why they offer 4-handed massages too, there is a whole squad and you never know who will show up, although they all may think they kind of look like the guy in the picture. Way too shady for my taste.

 

Here’s my theory... I’m thinking no one EVER shows up. The whole thing is a scam to get $60 iTunes cards and then try to extort more money from their victims without even meeting them.

Could be, but are there really THAT many guys that go for that scam? Who in their right mind would send $60 to a complete stranger, for a service that is typically paid after you get it? And in cash.

 

I mean, these crooks are paying for these ads on rentmasseur so they must be generating enough money to make it worthwhile. There has to be enough "critical mass" of customers that go for it. Or it's something else?

 

What bothers me is that these guys are ruining RM, way too many fishy ads as of late.

I don’t know, Capitano. I’m still baffled but if they are doing this on a large scale basis all across the country, maybe they find enough suckers that the scam pays off? Investigative minds want to know...

This country recently elected a “president” who told us Mexico would pay for his wall and that he would provide better healthcare for “everyone” at lower cost, just to name a couple very OBVIOUS whoppers.

 

So to answer the question, yes, there are absolutely enough suckers to make these scams pay.

Here they are again, same ad text, new pictures, stats that don't make much sense (there is no way Daniela can be 5'7" and 185 lbs), and the same fucking phone number for two guys!

 

My only question is what they are up to, what is the nature of the scam?

PS They are running out of names.

Another scam.

Photo is of Trayl Aitken-Cade who is a masseur and wellness specialist from South Africa.

 

I’ll be visiting the Detroit area soon and was thinking of contacting this guy. After reading your comment I decided to write and ask him directly about the photo in his ad. To his credit, he replied that it is not him in the photo.

 

Thanks to you and all the posters here that help the rest of us from wasting time and money on the clowns/scammers/jerks out there!

You have to give it to them, they are persistent. Must be that enough people are going for whatever scam they sell.

 

Here is the recipe:

(1) simultaneous presence in several locations scattered around the country, they obviously want to come up in as many searches as possible,

(2) hot pix, with the obvious purpose of getting many interested and horned up,

(3) ad text that seems machine generated and (4) stats that often make no sense.

 

Case in point:

One more, Houston, Indy, and Casper (interesting choice!) beware.

This guy contacted me on RM without me initiating contact. He told me to text him. I let him know he was out of my price range. He kept sending me more messages wanting me to text. I made it clear I wasn't interested. His insistence on me texting made me not want him to have any of my info. I wonder if there are ways people can rip you off just by having your phone number.

These odd ads are generally fake. The photos are often stolen from social media accounts. And then scams are run from "war rooms" in the Ukraine or wherever. They try to get you to send money for an "appointment", which of course will never happen. Or get enough information to build an identify theft profile.

 

Don't share any information with them at all.

Darts on the map indeed, but it's still puzzling.

Unless rentmasseur is running some promotions with FREE advertising for a month or so.

 

Here is some more nonsense: Poland, Colorado Springs, Indianapolis, and Jacksonville, WTF?

I wonder if the Odessa Ukraine, or Saint Petersburgh Russia, or wherever, "war room" scam operators think they are clever by targeting smaller markets hoping for a more naive audience that will send in a credit card number upon request, or whether they simply have no idea where these random cities are or what they represent.

 

They could at least remember not to have their fake masseurs in the same cities several hundred miles apart on the same days!

Maybe rentmasseur should disallow overlapping presence in multiple cities. This makes no sense:

Colorado Springs, Dec 16 - Jan 06

Jacksonville, Dec 16 - Jan 13

Indianapolis, Dec 17 - Jan 15

 

But then, it's a useful red flag for potential clients, you have to ask yourself what's going on here.

It’s not always a red flag....escorts/masseurs often test the travel waters by putting multiple cities on same travel dates. I suspect neither RentMasseur nor RentMen would benefit their revenue stream by prohibiting the multiple dates.

This is becoming ridiculous, the typical recipe as of late:

(hot pictures) + (a random collection of 3 smaller to mid-sized cities) + (a non-English ad)

https://rentmasseur.com/Richies

 

Whenever you recognize the pattern you are likely to be asked to make an advanced payment using some stupid iTunes code.

Rentmasseur should really crack down on this shit.

It is interesting that this kind of scam is so persistent, it must be that they are able to get money out of some people.

Whenever you notice a strange choice of multiple locations at the same time and a flaky ad text, it's time to be skeptical.

Prediction: They'll want advance payment via iTunes code. :-)

They could be getting less obvious, but remarkably suspicious ads keep popping up on rentmaseur:

 

https://rentmasseur.com/MARKUZz_LATIN

A masseur without a phone number?! Let me guess: reach them by email only to be asked for the stupid iTunes code?

 

Now, these two appeared in Chicago out of the blue, but I am skeptical:

https://rentmasseur.com/GabrielBrazil

https://rentmasseur.com/Felipe_Fernandes

Probably the same person, or the same operation, appear "available" at the same time, virtually identical ads, other than the pix. And why would they list "hairy" if the pix show otherwise?
