Lemmy -> RE: Potential Trolling by Law Enforcement Types - Beware (12/25/2006 3:13:04 PM)

I've never had a problem here, well, not with law enforcement anyways, BUT: I've found numerous "bait" profiles on myspace, yahoo, etc. Law Enforcement is primarily after child predators, but you'd be surprised how easy it is to innocently come across a bait profile and find yourself on the radar of law enforcement. I've spoken with someone in law enforcement and their trick is to use ages of 69, 99, 100, etc on their bait profiles. Remember this: "Did you really think s/he was 99 years old when you saw that profile?" The hook is at the bottom of said profiles where they claim their "real" age (in near microscopic print), which is of course always far younger than previously stated. I've seen mentioned on this thread, zealout types that want to out people in the BDSM liftestyle. That again, I havent seen here, but I HAVE had that experience on yahoo, which I wont go near anymore. Dont believe for a moment that your online persona hasnt come under the scrutiny of some goverment agency at one time or another. Just stay smart, stay clear of weirdos or people who try to phrase their sentences in an effort to get you to reply in a certain way. Anyway, thats my two cents worth...
