Backpage complaint regarding ad that includes my phone number

Hi,

I am writing this email to formally complain in regards to this backpage site:

http://backpage.com.portland.escortbabylon.com/post/22673113/

which includes my phone number. If someone were to google my phone number this is the site that pops up. I am a professional math tutor and insurance agent. I cannot have this website be associated with my phone number shape or form in any way. This is also a very outdated ad and it should not still be lingering online as it is October 2017. I am the legal owner of the phone number [removed] and I ask that this site be taken down. I would appreciate that this be done promptly as I will contact my attorney to handle this further if this site is not taken down. Thank you for your cooperation in advance in regards to this matter.

Sincerely,

[name removed]

Backpage escort

There is some one on back page that has my facebook account linked to their backpage account.. Which means when they click on that persons link at the bottom in blue is a facebook account and it’s mine so they see me as if it’s my page & it’s not. So I am getting all types of messages from strangers about sexual encounters.. I never gave anyone permission to do this.

Same thing happened to me, except I was dumb enough to try three different gift cards. Now I am out $75. I made all three of these payments over 30 days ago, and now 30-plus days later I still have no money in my account. Very bad business from Backpage, and Bitcoin. I've been a customer with Backpage for over 8 years. And now more than 30 days later no one is getting back to me, and I have made more than 10 attempts to reach out to both Backpage, and Bitcoin for Backpage.!

I paid using a Vanilla card through an app. The money was on there about a day later. I paid BP and posted my ads and go figure BP has left them marked as spam or something because none of them are showing up. Basically wasted 25$. Emailed the [censor] and no response at all. They just take your money and don't respond. It's BS.

Backpage unethical behaviour

On october 1st, I started receiving text messages in regards to an ad posted on backpage.com/escortbabylon. I did not create this ad. The phone number provided in the ad is my actual cell phone number with my name being used. I did not create this ad nor did I give permission for someone to use my information! A report has already been filed with the local police department. This ad needs to be removed immediately!

Backpage my ad keeps getting reported!

I have used over $50.00 on back page for not one of my adds to be posted over 5mins. They are not a spam or illegal so I'm not understanding why people keep reporting my add. It's also stealing I'm paying for something I am not getting. Can you please help me I'm begging you. It's out ragous that I spent so much money for no good damn reason! I would like to keep working with back page but not when my add keeps getting [censor]ing reported for absolutely no reason at all. So I really do NEED some help not want! My number to call back on is [protected]! I'm not fully naked it don't advertise for SEX and I am NOT underage or a spam.

I just submitted this same complaint. My past two paid ads have been deleted. My account says 'Community Removed'.
This has never happened to me before, and I have been posting on bp for almost 3 years.

The poster above me might be right. I am not tooting my own horn, but I am very attractive. It would make sense.

It's not back page removing your ad~ it's your competition, other girls that are hating on you. They see you as competition and are kicking you off the corner, as the old saying goes.

Backpage could care less, so don't expect an answer. Sounds like someone in your line of work, maybe competition, doesn't want you around and are having your ads reported for removal. Happens all the time, from jealous people. The only thing you can do is create another ad, with different phone number and email address.

Backpage ads being removed by community

I ran an ad for a week without issue, when I renewed the ad and paid $30.00 the ad was renewed and removed by community within minutes of each other. This is the second time this has happened. I want to know what makes an ad get removed by the community? Someone reports the ad? Just one person, several, who checks to see if the person reporting the ad isn't the same person over and over? It's pretty sketchy that once paid they pull the ad.

Two things are possibly happening! (1) Your competition is reporting your ads, so they can be removed, mainly because they are jealous & want you out of the way, so they can have all of the business for themselves. (2) Someone is just messing with you. It's not Backpage picking on you, it's usually someone that knows or dislikes you.

Backpage gift cards not being credited

This is the 3rd gift card I have submitted and not had credits posted. Waiting for days... Emailing support and over a month time frame have NEVER gotten a reply. So why say u accept gift cards for payment when you do not. Why have a support email and never answer complaints. I thought you were in business to make money... Ridiculous way to conduct your business. Please credit my account.

They did that to me as well. Try to use the gift cards and most of the time they just didn't ever count your credits. How dumb is buying a gift card anyway? It almost sounds like a scam! My friend sends them money orders instead.
