Whenever a stripper gives me a phone number and I want to keep it, I always do a Google search on the number. Usually I get a bunch of sites offering to give me the person's name, etc for a price. Some times I find out that she is an escort.
Yesterday I got a new number. She even sent me a text with her photo. So I ran her number through Google and got this: "Based on the 21+ complaints, it’s probably a scam. Learn how you can protect yourself from calls like XXX-XXX-XXXX." I tried a dozen other phone numbers that I know to be legitimate and none gave that response. Is this stripper scamming me? She did a very good act in VIP.

last commentnot too long ago, lecherousmonk posted a thread titled "becoming a stripper". in that thread, there's a link to an article about some girl who wrote about becoming a stripper.
in the article, she said " I rarely recommend giving out a phone number. It costs only a few bucks to decode a cell number, and creepers will pay that in order to get your personal information"
guess she was talking about you, shadow :-)

Ooops. Left myself wide open. :) But I never pay for information.

I use a free site to run phone #'s. I'm shocked when I get a name that leads me to a FB page of the dancer, but it DOES happen. .

While I haven't done anything OTC since 1989, I admit to excessive drinking resulting in a stripper phone number. Never been fake, but the caveat is most are looking for free legal advice when they give it out.

I search Facebook, okcalller, Whitepages.com, and google, in that order. I still only get useful information about a quarter of the time. Most seem to have learned the value of a burner as well as we have.

I use a for-fee lookup site, that often catches mobile phone numbers and sometimes even google voice and other 2nd line type phones, to:
Mostly, no alarm bells are raised, but a couple of times I have decided to call off an OTC. I specifically remember looking up a girl who my buddy was going to go OTC with, the service found her real name, we looked up her facebook, and it was alarming enough that he called that one off. It's a quick and cheap double-check.

I think a dude from work one time back when I was a temp ran my number on Google and found me out lol
I got founder to take my number off and that thread down so it couldn't be found on Google again
Haven't had that issue since.
Now that I'm off the floor and got a career job with the company I'm a little more protective of my number and image in the real world
