Just wanted to give you boys a warning and a heads up bout fake ad on backpage (sure you already know this)

The below ad tickled my curioisity (I have a fetish for filos)

http://sydney.backpage.com.au/Female...ether/35674872

I did some due diligence to see if the ad was genuine and asked a whole bunch of questions over SMS (they don't take phone calls). I also asked for more pics which the sender sent and could see they were of the same girls in the ad but not published in the ad. This made it seem legit. They claimed they were staying in a private apartment together and looking to pay uni fees. After this I thought I hit the jackpot and made a booking.

Anyway I arrive at their recently built apartment on George street with massive anticipation... and at the door the lady who answered was no where near the pic - I'd say 35-40ish from Chinese looking. I say to her 'your not filipino', to which she pauses and says 'yes I am' - 'which city?' - another pause - 'manila'. In my mind I called immediate bullshit and asked her to call her 'friend' over - she calls her over in a language which definitely was not tagalog and in comes her friend who is pretty much the same 35-40 ish Chinese looking lady. At this point my mind was racing on whether I should go a ahead or not but in the end my brain won over my dick (thankfully) and I said sorry I'm going to cancel your ad is fake and I'm out of here.

They practically begged me to stay and offered discounts and more extras but I was already too pissed off and left. Felt sorry for the ladies, probably not their fault and it's their agent who really deserves the wrath of anger for being misleading. They weren't that bad either they would have been a 7 Cowper standard perhaps.

Anyhow nek minnit went to a massage place around the corner at Church street and was able to finally let out my tension... a lot of tension indeed

That being said what methods do you guys use to verify the authenticity of a cracker/backpage/craigslist/gumtree ad?
