That VIP membership does not seem so expensive now does it

That would have been your first warning if TER does not even allow reviews linked to the site.  I don't know what you like, but one provider I like to see when over in that general area would be Mimi.  Not sure what you have for references though.

Okay, and the one that hit send just before me looks like a real winner also.

At what point after "Fake pics"

did you conclude you're being Ripped-off?

 The immediate determination that the woman before me is not the woman in the photos indicates to me that the experience will only continue to sully.

 How long has been your "interest" in the hobby? You allude to having successful prior experiences. If so; why the train wreck of poor judgment on your part?

That should have been your first clue. If she were that
bad the reviews would have reflected it. If there were
no TER reviews to go by you really did it to yourself.
Now just peruse the  reviews and you will have no
problem finding what you're looking for.

If there was some kind of "review" web site where hobbyists could share their experiences with various providers so as to minimize the risk of having bad experiences and losing money.

This web site could have "members" who by virtue of their status, could provide detailed descriptions of their sessions, prices paid, services provided, and a general idea of the providers attractiveness.

I suppose until such time that this imaginary "review" site exists, we will all have to simply take our chances with blind ads from unscrupulous web sites and spend money willy nilly for unpredictable experiences.

The $200-$400 you likely lost would have more than paid for a years VIP on this board.
No sympathy here.

As I continually complain about, the reviews on here are so over inflated (and I learned not just with k-girls), that a "7" here that I met was truly a 2 in my book.  Her service was great, but it didn't matter, it was really hard to get past the looks without thinking of something else.  This is different than the OPs problem because I wasn't ripped off, per say.  But the pics were deceiving, and again the reviews really inflated the appearance.  Another reason I personally don't review, if you have nothing nice to say...
PM me if you'd like a couple of good suggestions.  It's funny you posted this because even though it was outside of my budget I had to go see someone else the next day to get the bad taste out of my mouth.

google is  such a great way to locate the providers .. stick with proven track records. sorry you got burned.
