The point of course being that the folks back home presumably won't know about the escorting world. Know someone here who had to cut short her escort career not to long ago. Nothing hi tech, nor internet browsing caught her out. She had a minor argument with a female friend here, who then proceeded to tell the family back home.Ergo for familial harmony, end of escort career, sooner than expected.
And get your point about today's world and tracing people, I will just say I have no desire to ever post pictures of myself anywhere or any other private info and if you stay away from the use of cards or mobile phones registered to your identity, the ease of tracing someone even in "today's world becomes much more difficult.
