Can’t say if it’s the same person, though. Weird coincidence, I should think.

EDITED: This page http://www.cityfreq.com/phone/312543.html lists a completely different name, though: 312-543-1456 is LEORA LORENCE. How can this be?

Ad was taken down. Someone here alerted them, around the same time FckPizza3 and Wecanhelp showed up.

Cell numbers are recycled all of the time. Doing a reverse look up could give you 5 different names. If it's a throw away or prepaid phone the number can be reused over and over.

Newfind ago

If it's a prepaid phone they can put any name they want on it.

so according to this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/personalfinance/comments/3zgeib/found_false_phone_numbers_on_hodges_directory/ something odd is going on with Hodges Directory. Personally I'm not too sure what to make of this one, but fwiw, I happen to live in chicago practically right next to UChicago and a couple of my family members are employed there. If that linkedin info is accurate, it is quite odd that she happens to work for The Young Center for Immigrant Children's Rights. I kinda doubt that my going there and looking around would produce any useful results, but I'm certainly willing to if someone makes a compelling case for deeper investigation on this.

horse-with-a-name ago

I doubt that too, at least at the moment. One thought I had is that maybe she uploaded this photo by mistake. Not very likely, but still possible. In any case, some digging into this person and the organization wouldn't hurt.

Touchdown50 ago

Nah this is no fluke.

mathemagician33 ago

I thought that might be the case also, especially if she uploaded the photo from a mobile, for example. Although if it's actually a child trafficking listing, what's up with listing the "car" as having 63k miles? anyone know if "mileage" or something related is a commonly used term in this world?

TinFoilMadHatter ago

I remember a while ago someone posted a thread to a pedo chat room where they were talking about buying CP. They were obviously using cheese pizza as a code and the ad included how long the pizza should be in the oven (6 to 12 min. or something) alluding to how old the kids were. Maybe 63k means 6months to 3 years. I don't know, just throwing it out there.

ThorTheWonderful ago

Or 6 to 12 Minutes = 6 to 12 Months, while 63K maybe 63 weeKs

Newfind ago

Maybe 3 6's. 666. (The price does seem to be in the ballpark for those.)

horse-with-a-name ago

I used information from the ad to find out if anything is used as a keyword for "interested parties". No luck so far.

Newfind ago

Interesting. Maybe they are spoofing numbers somehow.

mathemagician33 ago

did you see this post on that reddit thread? https://www.reddit.com/r/personalfinance/comments/3zgeib/found_false_phone_numbers_on_hodges_directory/d4l3opc/

"There used to be a "directory" online that was completely randomized combinations of real people's information specifically to confuse scammers and web crawlers. I thought it was Hodges but I can't find anywhere that says it anymore."

I have seen the directory (actually as I recall, there was more than 1) that this guy is talking about also, but I've been trying to find it unsuccessfully for the past 30 minutes. That particular directory was very clear about the fact that all the listings were fabricated data to confuse scammers. I just wish I could remember the damn name. I found it at the time because I had googled my own cell phone number and ran across such a result, as many people from that thread seem to have experienced.

Nana66 ago

I have encountered at least one of these while searching to find who's number called me. I was always curious why this existed.

Nana66 ago

It's a cell phone so maybe the number had Ben used more than once.

ArthurEdens ago

I looked at her profile. It blows my mind that they look like average people a lot of the time

educate_yourself ago

what u expect a grey or something? aha. i mean i guess we co0ud think more lke disgusting criminal men from movies or perhaps evil soros rockefeller types idk. id assume the best way to traffic humans is to look unassuming doe ukno?

ArthurEdens ago

Yeah I mean, I expect some kind of clue in the face. Lack of spirit, miserable expresion, sickly skin. Something. What is odd is her linked in photo is a blurry like it was lifted from somewhere else.

DrTeethateJanice ago

My past work brought into contact with many of them, they look no different than you or me sorry to say. One guy was mid 30's, good looking, clean cut, a salesman, well spoken, and raped his 7 year old daughter many times. You would never know by looking at him. It's fortunate he came from money because the whole thing never made it to court.

ArthurEdens ago

I know, I know that's what blows my mind. Some vibes usually tip it off, but maybe it's in their behavior. That's a bummer story, I imagine him as an American Psycho type. Sorry he got away with it

DrTeethateJanice ago

He did and he didn't. I wrote a report that highlighted his behavior during a visit with his daughter which lead to the revoking his privileges. What a fucking shitshow of a family that was, all educated, rich, and perverts.

equineluvr ago

"all educated, rich,"

Jews.

DrTeethateJanice ago

Nah, it was in the farm land Midwest. I would bet on them being WASP's most likely. I would have remember as being Jewish because it would have been weird for the area. I grew up in a area with a large Jewish population, when I think back it's amazing how many Rabbi's got caught and it was hushed up. I always thought it was great how they would fuck off back to Israel and they were protected. They're the first to point out the fuckery with the Catholics but when it comes to them, it's no bueno.

ArthurEdens ago

I always was confused why rich people clam up and and hide when a middle-class person is in the room. Thought it might be because they thought they'd get asked for money but now I'm thinking it's more about not spilling dirty secrets.

DrTeethateJanice ago

Things are overlooked or considered acceptable when you have money. It's like when you have money and are weird, you're eccentric. If you're poor and weird, you're weird.

educate_yourself ago

hey man im a drug addict i have sickly skin dont compare me to child traffickers ;) triggered

ArthurEdens ago

Ha sorry
