Author Topic: Dangers of face photo?  (Read 2370 times)

Offline dieseldriver

In some reviews where the WG has a security camera, its been said that she can use your face pic for blackmail and other illegal purposes? So just how can anyone be traced using a face pic? Cant be that easy or the multitude of men with faces showing on sites like illicitencounters wouldn't be there. Goes the same for the women, although on illicitencounters not so many have a face pic. But do other contact sites. Would they take a chance on being traced if could be done? Don't think so.....

IMO the vast majority of home camera's are just for security & won't be used for blackmail. We're talking very small risks here.

There are though lots of ways to trace someone with a  face pic.  A classic way open to everyone is 'Google reverse image search'.  It won't work for everyone,  but if there's lots of pics of you on the internet then it likely will (or at least it did).  When I first found out about it about 10 years back I searched on a face pic of myself, and it came up with quite a few pages that had both my pic & my name. 

There's all sorts of other ways to trace, the more powerful would only be accessible to the police, spooks etc.

As for illicitencounters , I'm only guessing but that probably dis-allows google bots etc,  so a search won't find any results from there.  Which doesn't totally remove the risk of issues if you have your face pic on there, but it reduces it.

Lastly - 'used for blackmail'  doesn't necessarily mean the face pic was used for a trace.  They might identify the punter by other means,  and just use the pic as "evidence" to threaten to make public.

Again though,  I'm sure its possible to be photoed by literally hundreds of WG's security cameras without actually being blackmailed.

Agree. Risk is small.
Also she would have to know your real name to successfully blackmail you in my opinion.

Many homes these days have security camera’s outside, I have no issue personally and never had.
However if you do, maybe stick to Hotel incalls and outcalls to hotels to avoid this.

Most escorts don’t work from their own home, but a lot of incall places will likely have CCTV outside anyway and no doubt loads of us have been seen on them without even knowing, and nothing untoward happening.

Not necessarily, many married men you would think wouldn't want their photo up on somewhere like Mumsnet with a warning saying, this man visited me I am a prostitute.

As there is the chance out there someone who knows his wife could see it.

Or if the girl knows the person profession, put the photo up on a webiste where someone from that profession may see it.

I remember Logan Montoya successfully blackmailed three separate dentists. You would think they'd be smart enough to hide their real identities from her. And noway would three of them be so lax with their details with the same girl. The chances of that are pretty remote.

I done that reverse image search for myself. Didn't give any indication as to who I was. Same as for some WG's that had issues with. Copied and pasted their photo, done a reverse image search, and again no indication as to who they were. The only results on their photos referred to perhaps their hairstyle, clothes, jewelry, whatever?

If it was that easy to identify people on a reverse image search, how come almost every week in my local paper is face pics wanted by police. If police can't do it, how can anyone else?

Like I said it won't be easy to trace everyone, it depends how many pics there are of you on the web, the quality of the pic, etc.  I remember one the results it found of me was when I attended a book launch for a friend & she'd put some pics up of the event, one of which had a caption with full names.  If you don't have friends who do things like that, or put up regular pics of nights out on social media etc,  you don't appear in many work related pics,  then I guess there's less likelihood of it finding you.

It's possible Google have made  RIS work less well for face pics too out of privacy concerns, as said it was about 10 years back when I last used it.

As for the police, I guess some of the folk they look for are good at keeping a low profile.  If Google have made face searching more difficult, I'd expect they don't let the police use the enhanced version except in very serious cases.     (That's the way it used to be, & probably still is, with mobile phone companies for example. They'd refuse to release even basic geo-traces & call history except in special cases.)   Spooks on the other hand are allowed full access.

Anyhow,  you don't think it's easy to trace from a pic,   I think it's very unlikely most  WG's with security cameras would even try to.  Either way no big reason to worry.  :drinks:

To be fair i'm that ugly my face pic would look pixelated  even when using a hd cam.

Prostitute creates fake Facebook profile and then posts vid caps from her scurity cam.  A few days later and all of a sudden suggested links start pinging all over the shop.  Your welcome.

Fuck!  Charity count = 2.  Warning!  Kernel parameter violation!  Reset imminent.

Yeah you think they could afford a set of false teeth, thats what I would have done.
Instead of my usual George Clooney look go for Ken Dodd. I’ve already got the tickling stick.

It’s why I scan the room as soon as I enter for cameras, always ensure the laptop is shut (camera on laptop)

Perhaps a new girl with no reviews but it's highly unlikely, just think of the amount of people doing cam to cam, if there's only a camera on entry and not in the bedroom you could come up with a legitimate excuse for being there, having a tug while paying to watch a lass play with herself, not so much.

how can she blackmail you ?
unless she know you ?
we use punting phones and usually punt in different areas to where we live or work
so she has a photo of you so what
if she puts it on the net who will see it
we worry to much in life if your worried about this
best give up punting

Depends how famous you are and if you have a public-facing job.

That is the thing though, you may do this but a lot of others do not.

You get punters messaging WGs for a booking using their work email address. You get punters booking WGs with their contracted work phone, or turning up for a punt in the work car with a full slogan on the side.

A punter using a personal phone number, or a works car/van or a punter doing an outcall to his house. A face pic will be very damaging to match with that info.

Any punter using a personal phone is being careless.  Any punter who drives to the punt will surely park somewhere out of sight of the destination.  Any punter who does an outcall to their house clearly doesn't give a shit about being identified.

There are risks in this game and as punters it's up to us to mitigate them as we see fit.

She posts the photo using a bogus FB id and lets Facebook find your likeness elsewhere.  Job done.

Great, let's both hope that the key governments put a stop to facial rec search engines in the public domain.

Even googling my main mobile and my punting phone throws up nothing remotely linked to me. Results for my main phone suggest I'm someone in Alabama??? Ultimately it's conceivable a nefarious escort could get your image and your car reg to go with your phone number, heck, she or an associate could even tail you home.
A neighbour could film goings and comings too. A weird punter could lurk nearby filming and noting vehicles and following her clients creating a dossier........ At some point you have to just apply a sense of context and proportion and conclude such antics are extremely unlikely to occur. If you can't do that it's probably best to give up punting.
