Evidently there is no truth in advertising. Read the whole story at The MetroWest Daily News

Brooklyn woman charged with prostitution in Natick
By Norman Miller

The advertisement promised a “sensual massage” from a 23-year-old woman, but police said the online posting was actually an ad for sex with a 40-year-old woman.

The woman, of Brooklyn, N.Y., was arrested Saturday at 9:50 p.m. after she offered an undercover detective sex for money, police spokesman Lt. Brian Grassey said.

Police received a tip that a woman was prostituting herself out of a Rte. 9 hotel. Police did not release the hotel’s name.

Detectives went online to craigslist.org, a Web site that features personal ads, job postings, items for sale and other classified listings, to see if they could find her advertisement.

In the “Erotic Services” section, detectives found an ad promising a massage for $80 plus tip from “Sasha,” who described herself as an “enjoyable Asian.”

When Detective Daniel Brogan met Bi in her room, he found there was an “Upcharge” for sex, Grassey said.

She was then arrested.
