Backpage question?

I have a friend that's always hooking up with backpage chicks. I'm talking weekly, he makes good money. No kids and I've never known him to have a gf. He's a career bachelor. He says usually they're the chick from the pic. Is there a way too know if the picture is of a real girl? Are they other sites that are legit? I'm too scared it's going to be a police sting.

I saw a TV show on CNBC that focused on human trafficking - they've done serveral of them but one of them focused a lot on BP - it seems the police, at least in that show, were mainly concerned with minors adverstising themselves on BP. BP is so prevalent that popo does not have the resources to go after this kind of thing as long as minors are not involved - plus this kind of stuff is done behind closed doors so it's not like streetwalking prostitutes that would affect a neighborhood. Maybe in some cities, they might enforce it more? Life is a risk anyway, you can't avoid every possible risk, you just have to weigh the odds and I think they are in your favor in terms of not getting busted - your BP-intensive friend has gotten busted - has he?
W.r.t. pics in BP - many girls will advertise stuff like "100% real pics." etc. - if they do this it is b/c there is a lot of "bait and switch" as they call it. But I do think that most of the pics. are of the real girl, but some definitely are not and anyone who BPs enough has probably been burned by this. Also, often the girls will either put an old pic. of them where they looked better/thinner or take pics. of themselves in certain positions/angles that make them look better than they really are. If I were you, I would tell the girl I would need to see her first prior to meeting inside a hotel room - the girls know that "bait and switch" happens all the time and they should understand you need to see the product first.
Do the following:
1. Check out Eccie.net, theeroticreview.com, or preferred411.com for reviews & more legit advertisers.
2. Google the phone number & see if it looks shady.
3. Image search their photos Using Tineye.com (if it has hits, they probably stole the image from whichever site & using it there).
YMMV, but my friend gets a call and text message session with the girls, and asks for fresh pix. Like from their phone, or computer. He said he didn't mind if their face was not shown, as long as the photo was new and their body looked good, he would try to go for it.
Combine that with HB13's info, and you'll be all set!
Like thE guys say, go onto TER and pick a girl with lots of reviews from various punters.
