… reviews here and elsewhere that are word-for-word the exact same, but for different providers at different times. I’ve also read word-for-word reviews for the same provider, only the second one was more than 2 years after the first one: All, as fake as they can be. Someone paid. So, yes, for sure it happens. I don’t like it. But there it is. Clients who care won’t have trouble finding providers who care. That’s my experience. But every once and awhile, from the client side of things, there are expenses you just have to write off as a loss.  To be sure, you and I have never met, though you have gotten my attention from time to time. There is no doubt that you care. Maybe one day we get to meet. In the meantime, don’t sell clients short. Those who care find those who care. It’s business… and it’s personal.

for quite some time now. I learned of this 7 or 8 years ago! I honestly find it despicable.  I, like you, put a lot into providing.....I work my ass off n even though I have a blast ( or many 🤣) I do put the work in for each review I receive. I absolutely value the gentlemen I see AND my time as well.  It sucks for both the honest providers and the suitors as well. Yes, sad but true, providers can and do pay for fake reviews, good or bad. I've received these emails in the past too. It's not cool at all.

They were originally called click factories from the days when all you had to do was click a like button to elevate a business's standing in a search engine. Now they use AI to write reviews. Over the last few years I've learned to spot them pretty well though I confess to getting burned a few times. Reviewers with only one review used to be a dead give away but now it seems they are building entire hobbyist personas. One fake reviewer may have many reviews spread over several months. The best way to spot them that I have found is most will have at least one review of a fake provider with counterfeit pics. Spot the provider then work backwards and assume all her reviews came from a click factory. In 30 plus years in the hobby I think I know how real hobbyist tend to sound when talking about a real encounter, but the AI is only going to get better. I think the key is holding to the community. Look for the respected hobbyists. Direct message new comers and ask questions.

Actually, I know a girl whose recent reviews are 90% fake but she doesn't pay for fake reviews ( or sometimes she provides service in exchange) she mentally and emotionally abuses some of her regulars. I know some guys feel sorry for her and they think they are helping her while ethically fooling clients. I believe sincere providers should request or submit a petition to  TER to verify if a review is genuine or not!

I have read reviews of 2 providers same word to word in different locations at same time. U know they are made up when u check through the whole list.

I agree! When I first got on here in 2008, my reviews weren't that great but I lived, learned and developed my own groove. It's really is a bummer that providers like you n I work hard to get where we are...only to have those scamming the system.  There are some that have been getting away with it for a long time too! I can clearly see the fake bs ones as I'm sure many of the gentlemen can too.

this year...a gent THREATENED me with a bad review if I didn't give him an OK on P411. Crazy! I couldn't believe my ears. First time for everything, I guess.

The best thing to do imo is just be very selective who you see. Stick with your repeat friends as much as possible.

I think I know who u are referring to if she is based in Atlanta

Yes she's in Atlanta and you can PM me to verify if we are talking about the same girl

What's almost as bad is when TER doesn't post a good review of someone you see regularly because they want you to spice up the review. This was on a top rated provider (Atlanta and US) whose reputation for being outstanding performance precedes her. I refused to edit it because I pay for a premium membership and they refused to post it.

If the fake reviewer is dumb enough to use the same email address for their account here, TER can ban them.

That is frustrating for some as I have heard. The way I understand it, you can email them back and stick to your guns POLITELY. Like you CAN say "I would like to score my Provider 8/8 and I think this is important." type thing and they will allegedly acquiesce.

I am often told by my gentlemen friends that my score was bumped down from the score they gave me due to being a "Massage Provider" although my NURU includes EVERYTHING, FULL GFE.

Muah, GT

Yes, TER will reject sometimes if not spicy enough.  It's sad but true. I know in the past,  I've had gentlemen that had a hard time getting reviews posted for me. It does happen too.  
This is another example of the ladies and the suitors being shafted so to speak. I mean,  the ladies don't get that review exposure and the gentlemen don't get to explore that review....which could be a deciding factor into seeing a lady.
I do find the overall review system to be productive for us all but there are flaws.  
Much love,
