Saw something that looked very promising on Craigslist...
http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/ers/699102350.html
Once ad is down, picture is in files as Zack_Scam_1 and this was the
text:
Young White Jock - m4m - 24 (NOHO - IN and OUT
Need the boyfriend experience?
24, 5'11" , 180#, Brown hair and Blue Eyes
~Rates~ 100 per hour In My Playground and
150 per hour In YOUR Playground
Vers, but prefer topping.
D/D free
So I emailed him from work, response was fairly in-depth but included
a link to his website--which I wasn't going to go to on a work
computer. There was stuff about reservations and crap I figured was
for DC--as I'd certainly never experienced it here in LA... I told him
when I was looking for, he said he was available at that time, I told
him I was on the way. Get to the Beverly Garland Holiday Inn and start
trying to call the number from the email, it always rings once than
straight to voicemail, very long message saying to leave my name,
number, *and* required reservation number...
10 minutes of this shit and I give up, final email from him is:
"Take care. I only book safely and as I stated in my first email -
reservation was required via the site."
Luckily I'd noticed another promising guy on CL who turned out to be
nearby, had a fucking great time. Will probably post about him soon.
But the thing with this first guy, Zack, just seems very odd. So when
I get home and look at the site, the reservations require a credit
card number, the photos are of a fairly different looking body than
the one in the CL ad (and the photos once you start following the
'reservation' link are even more downhill), and on second thought the
terms in the CL ad seem kinda too good to be true for an escort
traveling to LA and staying at the Beverly Garland...
Further, how the fuck would an an escort survive in DC with such a
byzantine and INDISCREET system? Yeah, let me give you my phone
number, real name and credit card number proving my name (and address)
all together so I can be Spitzer'd down the road...
Anybody think Zack could be legit? Or is this just the most
sophisticated CL scam I've come across? Anybody run into something
like it before?

Yep, confirmed as a scam, there were apparently several discussions
about him in the DaddysReviews forum that I missed because they
weren't about a guy in LA.
He posts all over he place and has the exact same posting up in
Cleveland for this weekend (when he says he's in LA):
http://cleveland.craigslist.org/ers/700304835.html
And looking through some of the threads that discussed him I saw the
exact same email he sent me. Curiously he always manages to be pretty
good with the detail work, specifying a local hotel, though in the LA
formletter there's a slight bit of confusion between NoHo and
Downtown.
Whomever's running the scam either is or is using the photos of a
former internet/porn star:
http://www.sxvideo.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=1237
The pictures on the zackpassion website, supposedly taken recently of
a 24 year old escort are at least 6 years old of an escort who was 24
at that time and possibly now HIV+ from the barebacking.
The scam is all about getting your credit card number into the
'FEVKey' registration system, god knows what happens on your account
after that.

Yea I responded also and got the same verbose (great) reply with a to-good-to-be-true feel. Went through the same thing with this guy. Apparently quite a successful racket. Too bad. Oh well, we just have to stay vigilant. And never pay or give CC# up front... a very reliable red flag.
