Safety
You must be 18. Do not post or contact anyone younger, and do not describe anyone younger. Those posts are removed.
Never send a gift card, wire, or password before you have met. A real provider can wait until you are in the room. If the ad pressures you to pay a deposit, close it.
Photos can be stolen. Ask for a current detail you choose, and walk away if the person refuses a normal conversation.
Meet the first time somewhere public when you can. Tell a friend where you are going. Backpage Alter is a directory, not a bodyguard and not a party to the deal.
Report trafficking, threats, and underage content from the contact page with the ad link.
