I didn't say they are members. I doubt anyone knows.

How do you know they aren't members? How would we verify they aren't?

The OP is welcome to send a PM to me with a link to the story and I will research their identities and whether or not they are members.

How can it be outing if there aren't any photos or addresses linking the story names to names in the site

This includes real names, employment, medical info, addresses past or present, images, criminal or driving record, etc. We expect everyone who participates here to respect and go to great lengths to protect the anonymity and privacy of one another. Reckless disregard or accidental outing will also be taken very seriously.

If any of the three are members of this site, leaving a trail or link to the article has been determined to be outing by the owner and admin staff. The penalty for an intentional outing is a one year ban and the penalty for an unintentional outing is a six month ban.

If you are thinking about posting a link to any article that provides the names of those arrested or involved in a sting, please think twice and consider recent decisions by the owner and admin staff regarding a zero tolerance policy on outing. Other than that, general discussions are welcomed.

A simple "golden rule" adaptation to use is, don't write or link to anything you wouldn't want someone else writing or linking about you, because it could be next time

This applies to those who are members

I didn't say it was a case of outing yet, did I?

We're too damn nosy. They were arrested, will be tried, and hopefully convicted if they are in fact guilty. Does it really matter whether they are/were members? If they're pulling the type of garbage they're accused of, then the right thing has happened to them and they are no longer a concern or threat to us. We only want to know more info/details because... "We're Too Damn Nosy!" Let it go people and enjoy your hobby. Rejoice in the fact that there are three less scammers for us to worry about crossing paths with.

Some of the basic rules of the hobby are:

1. Never carry more cash than you're willing to loose, especially with unknowns.

2. NEVER, EVER bring credit cards!

3. Find a way to hide the keys to your Hellcat outside!

The odds of a guy being taken in so many different ways are a lot higher than a lady being taken or worse! That's the way it is.

even if its not unusual, do you go and knock the doors of such craps on BP? If I know who they are, definitely I'll stay away from them. Does it matter if you are bringing extra $/Card or not? They have guns and the goons can shoot the potential clients...if they get irritated. I don't know if you are willing to take chances, but I'm not, and so would like to know them and so I said this is an alert, and this is not a rumor, its on the news too.

This is just another story to remind everybody to be careful on either side. It would be good to know who these alleged armed robbers are but it doesn't mean there aren't others out there. So use your wits and be careful.

How many parolees go & violate the terms? I would imagine if they're out on bail that to scrape together enough to cover legal costs may be desparate enough to continue these or similar heinous acts!


Found the article, thanks Google

But I am certain you have read cases of a series of women being killed.

Besides women in this business tend to not report being robbed because they do not expect the police to do anything. It happens a lot more than the news addresses.

My grandmother was a State Work-Release Correctional Officer for many years
I would say the ratio is almost comparable to addictions Recovery...
Many bounce back & forth before they either get it... or do something so heinous that they enter a life sentence...or die
Isn't that a bit sad & completely ...Just WOW
They become Institutionalized..
SEVERAL have genius level IQ's
I personally find it sad
Especially for the people that they victimize because they can't get it right in the real world
