Look at rip-offs in Chicago. The last one posted was August of '07.
I posted this review warning people of multiple ads in Chicago scamming people on eros.
http://www.theeroticreview.com/reviews/showReview.asp?Review=693786&user=923024
I then wrote TER and asked them why it hasn't been posted as a scam. They promised it would be - but nothing ever happened.
Does anyone read the rules before writing a review anymore?
2. Be fair and honest in your reviews -- this is what the providers do for a living. PLEASE BE WARNED: We will not post any review that slams or denigrates a provider, nor will we post reviews that contain such derogatory terms such as: Cunt, bitch, slut or any politically inappropriate wording that might hurt someone’s feelings.
"She's lucky I let her keep the 400 without beating it out of her." and "She's a very lucky girl I didn't force my money back out of her physically." Saying you were willing to use violence and abuse someone is not helping you get anything posted anywhere.
Getting frustrated at being ripped off is understandable, but to beat a woman over it is inexcusable. I know you didn't but just saying you were about to (after having time away from the situation and cooling down) is just as bad.
This is a great reminder to you guys that if the provider you call does not do any screening, does not have prices on a website (or unwilling to tell you prices for her companionship/time in email or phone) or shows up and does not look anything like the girl in the ad you saw, then it is a very high risk of a ripoff.

Why cite rule # 2 when he was just ripped off?
It gives the appearance that you are WK'ing for a ROB.
Show him some support.
The only thing I was bringing up was the fact he was willing to beat a woman. He has every right to be frustrated and I said so. NO ONE has the right to beat a woman. If you think that is a WK then so be it. If you think there are times that it is ok to beat a woman, then go ahead and be angry with me.
b-
No one should condone violence in any form, in this hobby. Since you have only see one single provider, you don't know what it is like to get ripped off.
He posted as a hypothetical, while he was still pissed. Saying "she is lucky I didn't" is not the same as going through with it. He did not say he was willing to follow through, and did not.
You were being a WK by citing rule # 2 when he shared a ROB with the community.
Don't take my advice out of context.
Read his first review. If that is how he treats women who don't jerk him around, it won't be long before the "she is lucky I didn't" part no longer applies.
Two points:
1. Being a Whiteknight - so what?
2. Whiteknight would mean I was defending the provider, I wasn't. I was attacking him. Major difference.
If after the fact and had time to cool down some and in a written post it is stated that he had wanted to beat a woman, then in the heat of a situation next time he will more likely do so.
Only having one review means I don't know what it's like to be ripped off? Are you saying the only rip offs in this world are in this hobby life? I am done arguing with an alias.

and try to employ some common sense. Having written only 1 review does not mean Bal has only ever seen one provider.
Said the person posting behind an alias. One review doesn't mean you've seen one provider either.(I've seen over 100, just not a bunch registered with TER..and over many years...)
It looks like you have zero reviews, so I'd bet you've never seen a provider before! So you don't know either.
Ah, christ. I love these dudes that get behind aliases' and really go for it man.

These are the guys that sit in a cubicle all week long...with only their computer to talk to. They live Vicariously through others. They're the ones that when co-workers walk by his cubicle say...'there's that guy...he's sooooo weird'. They are invisable to the naked eye. Hence the posts that are meant to stir people up, anger people & just cause shit. They crave to be seen.
That's exactly right! I'm glad to see someone knows how to read.
I never said anything about following hrough. In fact, I let her stay and gave her the money. hardly the act of a violent person.
I don't even know why I should defend myself in the face of stupidity.
Thank you for explaining things exactly how they are.
Thanks Ego Check!
Isn't that one of the purposes of this site?
I never threatened anyone or laid a hand on anyone. I never called anyone a derogatory name.
She IS lucky that it was me, and that I was respectful to her, as opposed to someone who actually might cause her some harm. That was my point.
Next time perhaps I shouldn't go out of my way to make sure my fellow gentlemen are warned - not about this girl in particular, but about this service.
I don't believe you!! 1st you take my comments out of context. I DID NOT threaten anyone - I said she was lucky it was me and not someone else - AND I also never called her a name.
Then you post on the Chicago forum about the SAME girl - saying that YOU did some "research" and you found out she was a scam. Unbelievable!
Do you work for the Hillary Clinton campaign??

After reading a little on ripoffs I did a little research and found this information. I would advise anyone in the Chicago area to stay away from any Eros ad that has this "www.eros-chicago.com/files/lv-monroe4" in the address bar. The "monroe4" part will be followed by the name of the lady in the ad. I googled just the first part without the lady's name and got several different names. Some with the same phone number. All say independent, but I doubt it.
Here are some of the TER profiles:
http://www.theeroticreview.com/reviews/show.asp?id=103292
Yes I did and it was your post that got me started on it as research. I never once said you were wrong. I did some research on the girl you posted about and found more information to further along your posting.
"I DID NOT threaten anyone - I said she was lucky it was me and not someone else - AND I also never called her a name."
No you did not say she was lucky it was you and not someone else...you said "She's lucky I let her keep the 400 without beating it out of her." That does not have anything in it about being someone else that might beat her, it says exactly that she is lucky YOU didn't beat her.
Again I quote you "She's a very lucky girl I didn't force my money back out of her physically." This again says nothing about her being lucky that it wasn't another guy who might force her, it says she is lucky YOU didn't force her.
So you think that my citing the rule means I think you called her names? Wow talk about reading way too much into something. What I was meaning by citing the rule was "or any politically inappropriate wording" which was the fact you were talking about abusing a woman.
Unfortunately this arguement has now become pointless. I have discussed how I felt about what you said in exact quotes, you have expressed how you felt by making things up.

You're an idiot. Quit twisting words around.
If I would have said "I threatened her" or "I was close to smacking her" or even "I was pissed" - then you would have an argument.
I said she was lucky. She was lucky. Some other guy might have been really angry. I actually let her stay and paid her. Hardly the mark of a violent person. You started all this shit.
Then you go another board and take credit. You don't even realize that its not a girl's ad, its a scam service. I've always had good postings on TER where people write positive things. I warn people about LE and bad experiences.
I have a half dozen agencies who would vouch for me as a great customers. You have 1 review. So go F yourself.
able to give a link, so I don't understand your question. If you are mad because it's not posted in the "Rip-Off" section, then you need to go back and look at those posts as you have advised us to do. Each of those Ripoff posts has multiple ripoff scores, and yours only has the one. I wouldn't want TER to label a provider based on one review. They did post your review so that anyone searching the specific provider would see it and make an informed decision, but I think that is as far as they should go for now.
Second, I agree with balathazar in that I am really surprised that they posted it at all.
"She's lucky I let her keep the 400 without beating it out of her." and
"She's a very lucky girl I didn't force my money back out of her physically."
That's way out of line and just plain bullshit. I hope every provider takes this to heart when they search on you as part of their screening (which may be the reason TER posted it). Let's see, she's 5"8" and 115 lbs.: Oh my goodness, you are one bad-ass tough guy. Pathetic.
After reading his one other review, I suspect he will soon be finding his way onto DNS lists for ladies in his area.
Be that as it may, the review really doesn't qualify as a genuine rip-off, since service was offered - just not the service he expected. Per his review the $$$$ he paid to start at least got him a rub n tug, but nothing else wihtout paying more $$$. So technically, she's guilty of charging an exorbitant rate for such a limited menu, but its not a rip off.
You lose your entire wallet and cellphone, or when you have your clothes off and a goon, "her boyfriend" starts pounding on the door and yelling like he's going to break in and kill you and while you dash for a weapon, she runs out with your envelope in hand. Or when the date-rape drug is slipped into your drink and suddenly your bank account reads zero.
This one rates a two. If she stayed for the time and did anything for him, that constitutes a session-- if a very unsatisfying one.
I can't understand, though, why the staff told him it would be in the ripoff section.
When you click the review section, look to the left, on the list is a section called "ripoffs." That's what he means.
You must be kidding!! Do you wonder why we screen you with a sieve? Yeah I know he was saying that as a figure of speech but that's pretty scary to hear. Scarier is that no amount of screening would likely show something like that. Very scary comments. Makes me want to to an 8-5. Well, not really.
Moreover, that point had been made.
It wasn't so obvious whether it constituted a ripoff, and whether it should be in the ripoff section.
Honestly, its not his second review that concerns me, it was his first. He sounds like he was describing his encounter with a rubber doll. Poor girl. I suspect it won't take long for him to wind up on most women's DNS list though.
We can all hope he gets on those lists soon!!!
I see what you mean. I bet she didn't mind. Poor woman!

bad and one that is okay.
Also the fact that the review that says she is bad, yours, is from a guy with 2 reviews and the review that says she is okay is from a guy with 14 reviews.
That doesn't make it right, but you have to admit if you look at the situation objectively, there are reasons not to post it as a rip-off.
Without firsthand knowledge, how is TER to be sure?
Being labeled a rip-off by TER has serious implications to a lady and I would rather TER err on the side of leaving reviews posted and letting us make our own decisions until clear proof show that the person is a ripoff.
JMTC
Thanks for the objective reply terrev.
What makes it a rip-off is that the person on the phone said it was all inclusive. They also have 6 or 7 ads with different photos, but the same 2 phone numbers.
They also made up some bizarre, pointless story that you are talking to the actual girl when you are not - such as "Im looking for parking now", when she's not. Just weird things in hindsite.
To me, a rip off is when the service lies and doesn't promise as delivered. Others may have a different viewpoint which i respect. Either way, people should be warned so they can decide themselves.
This Balazar guy is just an idiot trying to stir up shit.
Thanks for posting man.
God, I hope you NEVER have another session with any woman. While what she did is wrong it is not only wrong but illegal to suggest doing what you suggested in that article. Do you treat all women in your life similiarly?

If I was you, I would never allow a provider to scam me out of money again.
I never threatened anybody. Please know your facts.
By the way, I looked at your website. I have to compliment you - you're unbelievable gorgeous.
Magnum
Now now - Let's not have your violent side come out.
I'm looking forward to meeting you. I'll be in your area soon. Then you can post a great review for me.
Wow, just wow. I think everyone else covered how wrong those violent statements were, lot of agression.
-M
1st of all - Of course I would never lay my hands on a woman. One can be facetious amongst guys - so lighten up. As you can see, I never even threatened her. In fact, I let her stay. I recognized it was my fault for not being more careful in the beginning - and my response was to post a review, not take it out on the girl. She just works for these scammers.
2nd - I did NOT use a derogatory term about her ANYWHERE in my post. (your so called rule #2). If you took the time to look closely, you'll see that I gave her a great rating on appearance. She was gorgeous, and I gave her props for that. I never called her a cunt.
3rd - IT NOT HER! This company, whoever they are, posts false photos of women and ever changing phone numbers. What good does it do to be aware of "Jesska" when she may be "Judy" tomorrow.
By posting it as a scam - guys here can maybe recognize the phone numbers used, or their MO such as saying they are in town for exactly 30 days. Look for other providers fitting that description with the same phone number. Why would TER NOT want the guys here to see these people under scams?
I don't have many posts because I usually see girls through a reputable friend, who brings girls in from out of town, and they have a safe and private client list. They do not have websites or advertise. I've also seen many girls through Miamicompanions for the past 4 years, and we have a great relationship. TER told me I could not give a service a good review.
I'm a little new to this site. I thought the purpose was to help each other out. I did not want anyone else calling the scam service. Instead, I get people ripping on me, taking things out of context, and threatening me with black lists. Thanks for your support.
