"These apps are scary. Many of the kids at my school use these apps to 'hook-up.' They usually have no idea who the person really is. Rapes and robberies are not uncommon as a result of meeting up with someone for anonymous sex. This book has helped me understand what information is out there and how to get it." -Detective, University of California Police Department

"I used the information in this book the same week I got it. My agency had a series of armed robberies where the victims had arranged to meet over a casual sex application. We were able to locate the female 'bait' and uncover the rest of the robbery crew before anyone got hurt or killed." -Robbery Detective, San Francisco
