I have had so many hair styles and lengths, and looks that it's given me some issues. Even though my website is clearly who I look like/am today, somehow really old pictures of me when I was blonde with bangs came up - or short hair/overly edited pictures I used for a week, etc etc.
I was able to navigate that during the waiting process by making sure each person inquiring has viewed my website to see what I look like today - not three years ago. I've had guys book nowadays expecting me to look like I did two years ago, and I had to make sure they saw my website - because I no longer look like their "old crush" that they originally booked me for. But it is a huge hassle, and these ad scraping sites are probably one of the reasons women have private galleries that require screening to view. Anyway.. I feel you - it may take some time, but just stay cordial (don't panic), and persistent to those you are asking to help you. I've been a dick about it in the past and I didn't get much help lol. Good luck! xoxo C-- Modified on 10/27/2016 2:06:52 PM
So I've tried getting help from TER support but that's useless. Maybe I can get some advice here. When I started out I went by a different name, Roxy. This was over 5 years ago and when I joined TER I had the profiles combined as I no longer go by Roxy. Suddenly TER has allowed ads not placed by me to be added to my profile under the name Roxy. Ads with very old photos of me, obviously old as I have a whole other sleeve of tattoos now.
I've told them that those are not my ads and I do not go by Roxy, those are not my ads. They're only "help" to me is
"If you're not Roxy then why do you have the same tattoos" Uhhhhh because someone took my old photos??
I'm working on getting those ads pulled but it's obviously not easy.
My obvious concern is obviously someone is placing ads without my consent, and now TER has changed my name to Eve Kane/Roxy and won't change it back. Has any one else struggled with this? I just don't want the confusion of two different names and ads being placed with photos that are not even close to current linked to my TER profile. Can anyone help me?

Yeah the not being a dick is difficult when they don't seem to want to help me at all and make it feel like I'm the one at fault. Very frustrating but I do appreciate your advice. Going to keep at it and just hope they'll respond with more than an accusatory response.
Do you know how these ads are allowed to be linked to my site when they're under a different name?
it's hard, the only reason I am saying that is because I've been through it lol.
I think people report these ads to your profile. Every time someone fixes/updates a provider profile with a link they get 2 free VIP days. Some people actually seek out ads to get the free VIP points.

If you get the old ads deleted (there is also what looks like an old personal website? ) then anyone can report the links to TER as dead. They will remove dead links.
I'm actually in the process of getting the old ads deleted but it's tough since I did not place them. I have gotten the first link taken down so that one is dead. The other two I've filled out the contact form and hoping for the best. The one that looks like a personal website was not built by me and is the toughest as TER has given it their link as TER reviewed. Which is messed up seeing as they're just giving it to some random using my pics and info and building a site.
