Locanto Beware of Locanto Scams: My Experience with Fake Ads and Extortion Attempts

So, I recently had a pretty bad experience with Locanto. I received a call from someone claiming that I had been in contact with a minor, even though my ad clearly stated that I was 23 years old. The person on the other end of the line told me that I could either pay the family or face arrest and a psych evaluation. They even went so far as to spoof their phone number to make it look like it was coming from the police department. I mean, come on, no cop is going to give you the option to pay your way out of trouble like that.

It turns out that this is a common scam that they run on people who respond to their ads. They post fake ads and then wait for people to contact them. Once they have your information, they will call you back and try to extort money from you. It's really messed up.

I would say that about 90% of the ads on Locanto are fake. They will often ask you to pay upfront for things like gas or travel expenses, even though they don't even know where you are located. I've played along with them a few times just to see what they would say, and they have given me addresses that are nowhere near me or vague statements like "California" or "Fresno."

Overall, I would say that Locanto is not a trustworthy site. If you are looking for something specific, you are better off using a more reputable site. Don't fall for their scams and don't give them any of your personal information. It's just not worth it.

Locanto Locanto Review: A Warning About the Risks of Using the Personals Section

So, let me tell you about Locanto. It's a website where you can find all sorts of things, from jobs to apartments to personals. But let me tell you, if you're looking for love or a hookup, you might want to think twice.

Sure, there are some legit sections on the site, but the personals section is a hotbed for scams and criminal activity. You might get a response from a woman, but chances are she's a working girl looking for some cash. And that's fine if that's what you're into, but it should be in the escorts ads, not mixed in with regular personals.

And then there are the scammers who will refer you to another site "for their safety." But really, it's just a phishing exercise to get your credit card details. And let me tell you, there are NO legitimate safe ID sites. A credit card might show you're over 18, but it doesn't prove you're not a rapist or axe murderer.

So, what's the solution? Well, you could try sorting through the fake profiles on even the best rated dating app. Or, if you want to avoid all the hassle, just visit an escort or a good private operator. You'll get exactly what you want and go home smiling, without having to worry about blocking and renewing credit cards or dealing with disappointment.

It's a shame that Locanto started with such great potential, but the lack of vetting and policing in the personals section has really brought it down. So, be warned and be careful if you decide to give it a try.

Locanto Locanto Review: Outdated Design and Scammers Galore - Not Worth the Risk

but one thing is for sure, Locanto is not the place to go if you're looking for a genuine connection.

Aside from the dating section, the personals section is still the same old mess. Scammers and bots still roam free, posting fake ads and trying to lure unsuspecting victims. It's a shame really, because there are some genuine people out there who are just looking for a good time or a casual encounter. But with the amount of fake ads and scams, it's hard to trust anyone on this site.

The layout and design of the site is also a bit outdated. It looks like it hasn't been updated in years, which is a shame because it could really use a facelift. The search function is also a bit clunky and not very user-friendly. It's hard to find what you're looking for, and even when you do, it's hard to tell if the ad is real or not.

Overall, I wouldn't recommend using Locanto. It's just not worth the hassle and the risk of getting scammed. There are plenty of other sites out there that are much better and safer to use. So save yourself the trouble and look elsewhere for your personals and dating needs.

Locanto Locanto Review: A Free and Easy-to-Use Classifieds Website

So, I've been using Locanto for a while now and I gotta say, it's a pretty decent website. I've used it to buy and sell stuff, find apartments, and even look for jobs. It's got a lot of different categories to choose from, so you can find pretty much anything you're looking for.

One thing I like about Locanto is that it's free to use. You don't have to pay any fees to post an ad or respond to one. This is great if you're on a tight budget or just don't want to spend money on advertising.

Another thing I like is that it's easy to use. The website is pretty straightforward and you don't need any special skills to navigate it. You just choose the category you're interested in and start browsing.

Of course, like any website, Locanto has its downsides. For one thing, there are a lot of scammers on there. You have to be careful when responding to ads and make sure you're dealing with a legitimate seller or buyer.

Also, the website can be a bit slow at times. This can be frustrating if you're in a hurry or just don't have a lot of patience.

Overall, though, I think Locanto is a good website. It's not perfect, but it's a useful tool for buying and selling stuff, finding apartments, and looking for jobs. If you're looking for a free and easy-to-use classifieds website, give Locanto a try.

Locanto Beware of Locanto: My Experience with Xdating and Needy Women

Locanto is a website that I recently tried out for xdating. I have to say, my experience was not the best. I attempted to contact around 25 to 30 ads, but unfortunately, all of them were women who were looking for money. They were not answering any basic questions and were not providing any location information. Their responses were half sentences and the English words were all mushed together.

It was impossible to trace any of these women to any location. While the communication was fun, I did not expect to figure out any personal information other than the fact that these women lived with their mom, aunt, or another woman. Most of these women were in their 30s, had no job or were laid off, and wanted gas money to visit. They had a lower education level, but they were not stupid. They were just needy women.

I would like to warn others about their fishing tactics to catch a big fish. Do not be the sucker for these beautiful photos of women who are busty and pretty, but the photo does not match their emails or texts. Someone is creating many of these scenarios and answering them by themselves. It won't take you long to realize that when you ask for specifics about their location. Maybe not their residence, but try the local market close to them. That will narrow it down.

The enticing photos are a real lure to this fanatic after your money. Just remember that they are not traceable. That is the hidden factor. So, be careful and good luck.

Locanto Beware of Locanto User sarahmyers910: A Cautionary Tale

I recently had an experience on Locanto that I feel compelled to share. I came across an ad from a woman named sarahmyers910, who claimed to be a 30-year-old living in downtown Baltimore. We started talking and made plans to meet up, but things quickly took a strange turn.

When I arrived at her supposed residence in Towson, Maryland, she immediately asked me to buy $150 worth of Xbox cards for her son. She claimed that he was a spoiled brat and that she couldn't afford to see him without the cards. However, when I refused, she became insistent and even suggested that I lock her son in his room and have him play games while we engaged in sexual activity.

Throughout our conversation, she was evasive and inconsistent with her story. She initially claimed to live in Towson but then changed her story and said she lived downtown. She also refused to talk on the phone and only communicated through text messages. When I told her I was outside her house, she stopped responding altogether.

I strongly advise anyone considering meeting up with sarahmyers910 to think twice. She is not trustworthy and seems to have ulterior motives. If you do decide to pursue a connection with her, be cautious and don't let yourself be taken advantage of.

Overall, my experience on Locanto was disappointing and left me feeling uneasy. While I appreciate the platform's potential for connecting people, it's important to exercise caution and be aware of potential scams or dangerous situations.

Locanto Beware of Locanto: My Experience with a Scammer Sex Worker Ad

Yo guys,

So, I gotta tell you about my experience with Locanto. Let me just say, it's not good. Like, not at all. I was in a tough spot, lost my job and running low on cash. So, I thought, why not try out the sex worker job for a bit? I mean, it's not ideal, but it pays the bills, right? Anyways, I saw this ad on Locanto for a girl named Pooja in Bangalore. She had a website and everything, so I thought it was legit. But boy, was I wrong.

I contacted her and gave her all the info she asked for. The next morning, she hits me up asking for 9100 rupees as an advance payment for a year of service. She said she'd refund it after I met my first client. Then, she asked for more money for protection kit charges, police protection fees, and GST. It just kept adding up. She even said she'd give me a medical certificate to show clients that I'm disease-free, but that was just a ploy to get more money out of me.

In the end, I lost all my credit card and personal savings paying her. She took me for a ride, and I ended up bankrupt. When I tried to confront her, she just kept stalling and making excuses. I wanted to go to the cops, but I know how society is. They'll just judge me and not provide any justice.

So, my advice to you all is to stay away from Locanto. It's just a breeding ground for scammers and crooks. Don't be like me and fall for their tricks.

Locanto Locanto Review: The Truth About Sex Classifieds and Web Traffic Agents

I just gotta say, I stumbled upon Locanto and boy was I in for a surprise. I mean, I knew that these kinds of sites existed, you know, the ones that offer sex classifieds and all that jazz. But I had no idea how they really operated until I started using Locanto.

I actually dated a woman who was a web traffic agent, and let me tell you, it was eye-opening. She had this interface on her web browser that received messages from many websites, including Locanto and other sex/dating chat sites. On this interface, there was a picture and profile of the person she was supposed to impersonate on the right, and the picture of who they thought they were talking to on the left. It was crazy.

The rules of being a web traffic agent are pretty simple: maintain the interest of the person looking for sex so they keep coming back to the website to chat. These websites get ad revenue based on traffic counts, so it's in their best interest to keep people coming back. When my ex would sign into her session, the previous conversations being had between other agents who worked her job and the people who were looking for dates or sex appeared at the bottom of the screen. This was so she could study the context and continue the conversation with that person, having them believe that they were still talking to the person they thought they were.

The rule was to never agree to meet up, but use any means necessary to continue interest or hope. This is why if you chat with them, they never agree to video cam first to verify who they are. It is also why they back out of meetings last second and create lengthy excuses. Or, they ask to meet up without any verification whatsoever. These are basically web traffic agents that work for a 3rd party that is paid by Locanto in order to increase the money they get from ad partners. Pure and simple.

It's crazy to think that the entire dating and sex world out there is 99% fraudulent. Women don't need to look for sex online, it's everywhere all around them and they have a role in nature as the agent of sex. If a woman put an ad out saying "looking to give head," she would have 2000 responses by nightfall and a backlog big enough to never have to go on the internet ever again.

The ads for couples looking for men, that is also fake. It is clearly what any website looking to make money would do. They get traffic by hosting sex ads, and then use agents who impersonate the ones offering sex ads to keep the traffic regular. Then, based on regular traffic, they can get more money from their ad partners. Very simple.

So, if you're thinking about using Locanto, just know that it's mostly fake ads that are there to inflate the number of regular users and wandering web traffic. Now you know.

Locanto Scammed by Locanto Services: My Experience with Rishav

My name is Bablu Kumar and I want to share my experience with Locanto. I recently used the platform to find services and I was in contact with a person named Rishav. I got his number from a friend and he provided me with excellent services in Orissa Bhawani Patna on 12th December. The girl and the services were just amazing. Rishav also told me that he could arrange for a celebrity from the industry but the rates would be high. I had some fantasies for a long time and I asked him if he could arrange for a celebrity from Bollywood on 2nd January 2022. He told me to give him some time and he would let me know. On 5th January, he called me and asked me to come to Kolkata for a private meeting with the celebrity. He also told me that if everything went fine with Tanushree, we could move forward with the services. Unfortunately, I was unable to go there on 5th January, so I told him not to fix the meeting. However, I was eager to have the services with her, so I asked him to fix the services with her. At first, he told me that it couldn't be done in this manner as it was a celebrity concern. But I asked him if he needed any advance payments, and he told me that no advance was needed at all. On 6th January, I called him again and told him that I would be coming on 8th January and I requested him for the services with Tanushree on that day itself. Finally, he agreed and told me that the rates could differ as it would be arranged without any meeting. I told him that there were no issues. Later that day, he called me and told me that it would cost 10 lakhs for a one-night stand. Without any hesitation, I agreed because I knew that he was a committed person. The deal was locked at 10 lakhs, and he asked me to send my Aadhar details for hotel reservations. I sent him all the required details. On 8th January, I reached Kolkata Airport, and Rishav personally came with his Mercedes to receive me. We went to ITC Royal Bengal as the suite was booked on my behalf. Everything was just excellent, and after reaching the suite, we had a drink. Rishav told me that Tanushree would be coming at 4 pm from Pune, and from 7 pm, she would be all mine. I was very excited for the bed share with her. Then I requested him for a call to speak with her, and he gave me her number. I spoke to her for more than 30 minutes and decided to make the evening very special with her. So, I asked Rishav to go for shopping, and he agreed. We went to South City Mall and purchased a few things and a bottle of red wine. While coming back from South Mall, Rishav asked me for the payments. After coming to the suite, I asked him where to transact, and he gave me his SBI account number with his name shown. He asked for a transaction of Rupees 10 lakhs, the net amount, and it was 2.30 pm at that time. In my account, it was only 7 lakhs, so I asked him whether I could give him the remaining in cash. He denied it, and then he told me to arrange the funds. After the services, I could transfer him the remaining amount to the same account. Without any contradiction, I agreed. I transferred the amount to his given account and the rest in cash to him. Then we had lunch at West View. Afterwards, he asked me to come with him to receive Tanushree from the airport. He asked me to drive his car because he didn't want the driver to go, and he couldn't drive because he didn't know how to drive. I agreed, and we went downstairs. He accessed the washroom and asked me to wait for 2 minutes at the down lobby. I was seated there, and then 5 minutes, 10 minutes, half an hour passed, but he didn't come. I called him several times, but he didn't answer. That was the day when I was faced down. But I must say that Rishav was a real gentleman who scammed me. This was my shocking experience, which I cannot let go of my entire life.

Our conclusion: After a detailed review, ComplaintsBoard finds Locanto to be a trustworthy company.

However ComplaintsBoard has detected that:

  • While Locanto has a high level of trust, our investigation has revealed that the company's complaint resolution process is inadequate and ineffective.

  • Locanto protects their ownership data, a common and legal practice. However, from our perspective, this lack of transparency can impede trust and accountability, which are essential for establishing a credible and respected business entity.
  • We conducted a search on social media and found several negative reviews related to Locanto. These reviews may indicate issues with the company's products, services, or customer support. It is important to thoroughly research the company and its offerings before making any purchases to avoid any potential risks.

Locanto Locanto Review: Scam Alert - Beware of Fake Pics, Bogus Client Details, and Blackmailing Tactics

Yo, listen up. I gotta tell you about my experience with Locanto. It's straight up fake, man. They don't give you the full scoop on what's going down. First, they make you register with a grand, and then they take all your docs. Next thing you know, they're sending you fake pics and saying they get 20% of what the client pays. Then they hit you with some bogus client deets and ask for a security deposit of 25-30k or more. If you don't wanna do it, they start blackmailing you. It's messed up, man.

There's this one chick, BABITA BARUA from West Bengal, who's a big fraud. I filed a complaint against her, and I'm telling you, Locanto is gonna get shut down and people are gonna get arrested. Don't trust these guys, for real.

Locanto Warning: Creepy and Aggressive User on Locanto - "JustLooking3030

I had a really bad experience with someone on Locanto, and I just want to warn others to be careful. The person I was talking to, who goes by the username "JustLooking3030," was really creepy and made me feel really uncomfortable. He kept asking for my address, and when I refused to give it to him, he started threatening me. He said he would do "drive-bys" over just $40, which is really scary. I'm glad I didn't give him my address, but I wanted to warn others to be careful if they're thinking about working with him.

The worst part was the way he was messaging me. He was really aggressive and rude, even though we had already talked and planned a time for the session. I couldn't believe how disgusting he was being, and I'm really glad I didn't do any business with him. I would highly recommend that anyone thinking about working with him or giving him any personal information to be very wary. He gives off really bad vibes, and I can't imagine what he would do if he was given more information. Overall, my experience with Locanto was really bad because of this person, and I would caution others to be careful when using the site.

Locanto Locanto Review: A Haven for Scammers and Fraudsters

Locanto is a website that seems to be all about making money, without much care for the legitimacy of the ads that are being published, especially in the personals section. Some people have said that we should be smart enough to avoid the scammers, but that's just ridiculous. If the ads were properly checked before they were published, we wouldn't have to worry about being scammed in the first place. It's a basic requirement for any advertising platform that wants to be taken seriously.

Unfortunately, it seems that Locanto doesn't have any moral compass at all. There are so many fake ads being reported by other users that it's hard to believe that anyone would still use this site. It's a shame that a website that could be so useful has turned into a haven for scammers and fraudsters.

One can only hope that the authorities will eventually catch up with Locanto and shut it down. It's not fair that people should have to put up with this kind of nonsense when they're just trying to find a legitimate service or product. In the meantime, it's best to avoid Locanto at all costs and look for other, more reputable websites to use.

Locanto Locanto Review: Beware of Scammers and Missing Messages

So, I was pretty curious about why I never get any replies on Locanto, you know? I mean, I put up ads and all, but nothing ever comes back. So, I decided to do a little experiment. I made a dummy account and put up an ad, and then I messaged it from my main account. But when I logged back into the dummy account, the message wasn't there! What the heck, right?

So, I went back to my main account and checked, and it said that the message had been read - there were those little blue ticks and everything. But when I went back to the dummy account, there was nothing there. Even though the system said that the message had been read! I don't have any proof or anything, but I swear that's what happened.

I mean, I don't know what's going on with Locanto. Maybe there are a bunch of scammers on there or something. And now they've even removed the review features, so you can't even warn other people about them! It's pretty frustrating, to be honest. But hey, if you want to take your chances with the scammers or the devs or whatever, go ahead. I'm just saying, be careful out there.

Locanto Beware of Scammers and Hookers on Locanto: A Review

Yo, listen up! I gotta tell you about this site called Locanto. Now, I ain't gonna lie, it's got some serious issues. First off, there's a whole lotta hookers and scammers on there. I mean, you gotta be careful who you talk to, 'cause they might just be tryna take your money.

Let me tell you 'bout this one scam I almost fell for. So, this dude hits me up claiming to be a police officer. He says he needs to talk to me about a missing girl. Next thing I know, he's sending me over to his "police chief" and they're tellin' me I gotta pay $2,000 to make this legal case go away. Now, I ain't no fool, so I knew right away that this was some kinda scam. I mean, the police ain't gonna demand money from you like that. They'll just come and arrest you if they need to.

So, yeah, Locanto ain't exactly the most trustworthy site out there. I don't know why it hasn't been shut down yet, to be honest. But, hey, I'm just tryna look out for my fellow humans. If you're thinkin' 'bout using this site, just be careful, okay? There's a lot of shady characters on there. Stay safe, y'all.

Locanto Locanto Casual Encounters: A Haven for Scammers and Fake Profiles

I had a really bad experience last week with Locanto. I was chatting with someone who claimed to be a beautiful woman, but something just didn't feel right. My gut was telling me that it was a scam, but I ignored it and ended up getting burned. I feel like such an idiot now.

I ended up buying gift cards for this person, who turned out to be fake, and sent her pictures of the retrieval codes. I can't believe I fell for it. I should have known better than to give out personal information or send money through a cash app. It's just not safe.

Guys, please don't make the same mistake I did. Don't give out any personal information or send any money to anyone on Locanto. And definitely don't purchase any gift cards. You'll just end up regretting it and feeling like a complete fool.

I've come to the conclusion that there are no real women advertising for sex on the Locanto casual encounters personals. It's all just a bunch of scams and fake profiles. Don't waste your time or your money on this site. It's just not worth it.

I recently tried out Locanto personals, an app that claims to be a dating site with a "hash-tag" feature. I was intrigued and decided to give it a try, but boy was I disappointed. The app can be used on both mobile phones and PCs, but I wouldn't recommend using it on either.

I thought I might be able to find a hook-up on the site, but all I found were hookers and spammers. Every time I "liked" someone, I ended up matching with someone who was either trying to sell me something or looking for money in exchange for their services. I reported about 24 profiles and complained multiple times, but nothing seemed to change.

Finally, I decided to delete my profile when a blonde woman with udder-like breasts messaged me asking for $200 an hour. I couldn't believe it! If you're a wealthy person looking for a hooker, then maybe this app is for you. But if you're an average Joe like me trying to find a genuine connection, then stay far away from Locanto personals.

Locanto Beware of Scammers on Locanto.com: My Experience and Advice

So, I recently checked out Locanto.com and I gotta say, I'm not too impressed. I mean, sure, there are some legit ads on there, but there are also a lot of scammers lurking around. I've heard from a few people that there are some folks on there pretending to be agents, but really they're just using fake names and WhatsApp accounts to trick people into giving them money.

It's pretty sketchy, if you ask me. They'll ask you to pay up front, either through Paytm or by transferring money to one of their accounts. And then, once you've paid, they'll ask for more and more. And if you refuse, they'll just ignore you or make it so that your calls can't get through to them.

I've heard some of the names they use are Richard, Mahesh, Manoj, Thomas, and Anil. And get this, even some women are in on it too! It's crazy.

But honestly, I think the reason people fall for this kind of thing is because they don't think it through. They're so eager to find what they're looking for that they don't stop to consider whether or not it's a scam.

So, my advice to you is to be careful. Don't give anyone money unless you're absolutely sure they're legit. And if something seems too good to be true, it probably is. So think twice before you hand over your hard-earned cash.

Locanto Locanto Review: Non-Existent Customer Service, Fake Ads, and Prostitution Scams

Don't waste your time and money on Locanto. Their customer service is non-existent and the only way to contact them is through email, which they rarely respond to. The ads on the site are all fake and the only people who respond are prostitutes looking to get paid. If you try to arrange a hookup or meet up, they will charge you and claim that they are not free. I've been using this site for four months and have had enough of it. Even if women do contact you, they will only do so in order to get paid. Some will start a chat but then suddenly stop for no reason. I suspect that these responders are actually Locanto employees who are just trying to get you to respond to the ads they put up. Once you do respond, they won't reply back and if you keep responding, the ads will be removed from the site. It's all a bunch of garbage and I wouldn't recommend this website to anyone.

Locanto Locanto Review: A Scam Site with Fake Ads and Scammers

This site is a total scam! I can't believe how many people are out there trying to cheat others out of their hard-earned money. It's so frustrating to see so many fake ads and fake photos. And don't even get me started on the fake locations! It's like they don't even care about providing a real service.

I've had so many bad experiences with Locanto. I've had people block my number after taking my money, and I've even had people take my money and then disappear completely. It's like they're only interested in getting as much money as possible and then running away.

I really hope that the people behind Locanto are reading this. If you have any concern for your users, you need to start cracking down on these scammers. It's not fair to the people who are actually trying to use your site for legitimate purposes.

And to anyone reading this, I would strongly advise against using Locanto. It's just not worth the risk. There are so many other sites out there that are much more trustworthy and reliable.

If you do decide to use Locanto, be very careful. Make sure you do your research and only deal with people who have a good reputation. And if you do get scammed, don't hesitate to report it to the site owners. They need to know what's going on so they can take action.

In conclusion, I would say that Locanto is a cheaters site. There are too many scammers out there trying to take advantage of people. If you want to avoid getting ripped off, stay far away from this site.

Locanto Ads not posting from new account

Ads not posting on Locanto and Locanto is ignoring my emails!
I opened a new account on Locanto yesterday and it says my ads have been successfully posted when in fact they are not showing up or getting views!
Then there is an automatic page coming up pushing me to pay for promoting ads!
Seems Locanto are getting greedy and if they refuse to post my free ads, it is impossible to trust them to pay them any money!
I will complain on all boards I can find until they stop this shameful behaviour!

Desired outcome: Post my ads!

Guys she is a fraud, don't pay her, firstly, she will ask for a phone/cam session before meeting for a real one and when u pay her for that (600₹), then she will ask you payment for accounts manager (300₹) and after that, just forget about her, you won't get any kind of attention though she may or may not block you but she won't reply properly.
I have been cheated.
Please take care.
