A lot of times the email address gives it away.

The top ad has a different email posted in the ad versus the reply link. (Definitely a red flag).

The bottom ad has a return email address of dgfjijgh6565 at gmail. (A bunch of random letters like this in an email, most likely FAKE).

Almost every ad I see with a gmail is fake.

I smell scam.

That first link is to a site that is a spoof or rip-off of the "USA Adult Classifieds" The legit site is a spin-off of the old "USA SexGuide" (USASG) forum website. I've been a member of that site forever, from back when it used to be the "World Sex Guide" before the US was split into it's own forum. A few years ago, USASG put up their own classifieds site. Previously ladies had a sub-forum in each city that they could advertise in, but that was messy and drama-filled so they established their own site where providers could post ads.
http://usaadultclassifieds.nl/classi...s&action=clear

The site in your first link LOOKS a lot like the real thing, but if you notice, the URL is slightly different, the "s" is missing from the end of "classifieds".

There was a banner warning just a short while ago on the USASG main page about this.

That's far from the only red flag, but all by itself it would be enough to make me pass this one by.....

I think easy done it explained it very well, and the “s” missing off of classifide is interesting, it is my understanding that the site with .nl is a platform that USA created to advert the new laws. But I thought backpage.nl was the new “BP” link and that is separate from the usaadultclassifieds.nl link—the latter being usa’s member providers link to direct adverts on the site. The link with the “s” looks like the internal members only site and the link without looks like the backpage.nl site. But than again he may have it hyper linking to the bp.nl site, meaning they are one in the same.

But than again he may have it hyper linking to the bp.nl site, meaning they are one in the same because the USA link to the non-USA site looks just like the bp.nl site but only a different site address.

The entire USASG site, the main site and the classifieds site moved to the .nl top-level domain (From the US-registered .info) they had used for years, shortly after FOSTA/SESTA. The Administrators of the site moved the whole thing to the Netherlands (.nl) because the culture and laws there are much more friendly about this sort of thing and they have a documented history of not cooperating with foreign law enforcement agencies and courts. It took a few weeks to move and rebuild the site and all it's databases.

The old .info DNS pointers (CNAME) records are still in place and active (They simply redirect to the .nl domain), which kind of surprises me, but they could go away anytime, as that domain falls under US law and regulation. That's simply a convenience to help anyone who isn't aware of the change in domain or who can;t remember what it has been moved to.

Like I said, the Admin over at USASG had a warning banner post about the fake site that is missing the "s" in the URL.

Here's the banner warning on USASG about the site in question.

Personally, I'd be very wary of any posts on that site.

The "real" site:
http://usaadultclassifieds.nl/
Is legit. I've used it in other parts of the country with success.

The "fake" site:
https://usaadultclassified.nl/
While it may LOOK the same, it is definitely not. I'd stay away from it.

Just my $.02.

That's just the kind of info sharing this site needs. Bravo
