That gap would not bother me....

Over a year would be a concern

Hi, I am interested in seeing a provider (TER ID: 288735), but she only has one review.  The reviewer has a good track record of providing reviews so I would think she is legit (not LE), but would be happy for some advice on whether or not I should take the plunge?  If she's a dud in terms of service/looks isn't a big deal to me, but I am terrified of the possibility that she's LE.  Her ad history only goes back to last month and she has changed numbers already.

Thanks for any advice.

I checked the reviewers history, and he seems legit. If your not in a rush to see the provider, you might want to wait. I've seen many providers without reviews, but that's just me, so one review by a veteran reviewer works for me. However, you should participate at your own risk level.

The other item that would cause me to use caution is the change in phone numbers, especially if she's new.  If she has a website, check to see if she's updated it to reflect the new number or if she has an email address you might want to consider making contact via that route.  This way you're verifying that she's the actual person you're trying to contact.

This is actually really sound advice.  Thank you.  It does alarm me that she changed numbers only a month in.

and therefore may not pick up on certain nuances as perhaps HH (With 100+ reviews) might pick up on.

But, odds probably favor you so if you are the adventurous type, go ahead

Do you mind giving some tips on what to look for in a legit provider ad?

First, if it is only an ad with no website, stay away.

Assuming she has a website, is it thrown together slap-dash, or does it look like she put a lot of thought into it and does it have a lot of biographical info?   LE would not likely do the latter.

Also check out photos on Goggle Image.  If they are stolen, then don't bother.

If any working talks overtly about sexual activities, then also stay away.

Ditto if she doesn't ask you any screening info.

Again, no 100% guarantees.  The biggest asset in determining legit from fake is the experience you pick up after years of doing this

Thank you for the tips.  I didn't think about the website one...I guess I had an over-paranoid view of the extent to which LE would go to catch hobbyists.  Would you also avoid a provider that has had a several month gap from her most recent review?  The one in mind has only 4 reviews, and her most recent one was in July.

I'd suggest to circle back a bit later.   There are reasons she might have changed her phones if she is a true novice provider.  (Like she possibly used a phone that could be linked to her.) If it happens again (soon) not so much.  
Have you done your research yet?  Run all available images through searches like google image or tineye?

I have looked up her imaged and her numbers and they all come back to the same provider so I think the numbers are accurate.  Her images are revealing and the frequency/amount of them would make me think it's more effort than LE would commit, but I have no basis on making that assumption.  She is hot and I could easily see her as bait for those thinking with the other head (like I am right now).

Do you recommend she gets at least 5 reviews before I see her?

You are "terrified" of LE and you are still pushing to see this girl? Why?

You are increasing the risk here ten fold with her very, very small review history.

If LE is an issue, as it is for almost all of us, think with the big head.

Just my 2 cents but go play with the vets for awhile and gain some experience. It sounds like you have too much to lose

If I came off as "pushing to see this girl", I apologize.  I just was curious on whether or not seeing 1-review girls is as daunting as I thought it to be.  It's for a specific provider, but I will take the advice people have kindly given here and apply it to other providers that fit the same scenario.  I have come across as overly cautious (to me, not really a concept I believe in) and have received great advice from vets to assuage my worries before, so I thought I'd ask for help once again.  This whole process is a part of "gain[ing] some experience", so please excuse my ignorance.

and said that their research into this gal's phone number reveals links to ads with troubling drug references which could indicate either LE or someone who is just too darn dangerous to hang with.

In any case, this is not the gal you should be seeking

I just don't want to see you in handcuffs.

And all of us were ignorant at the beginning so that is why this board is so important.

Stay safe!

The Twin Cities area has a LOT of much better options.  Why the unnecessary risk for this escort?

The only way to go.

If she has reviews on other smaller/regional boards. I don't know if that's the case or not. Anyhoo, best of luck!

If you have to ask, well...  

When I was new to all of this, my first callers were well-seasoned gentlemen, with lots of reviews under their belt.  They new exactly what to ask me, and how I should respond, to know whether or not to book with me.

If you are not experienced enough for this, then stick with the well-established, well-reviewed ladies.

Eventually you will learn the patterns of behavior and be able to pick thru the new ladies effectively.
