Fremont resident Kathy Schoggins said, "It doesn't surprise me... because all of these things that are all online, and you're hooking up online, you have no idea what you're walking into."

Union City resident Ricky Kumar told ABC7 News, "It is prostitution." He says his friends solicited a prostitute from a similar website that openly advertises for it. "But after that... today I'm seeing this. No, I don't think it's safe."
