As much as I am a staunch defender of ISO postings, even I am a bit discouraged that about the last 50 posts have been ISOs, so here's a non-ISO question in hopes of keeping other lines of conversation flowing ...
A week or two ago I was trolling BP (I know, not a good idea to begin with, but ...). I noticed a really enticing lady with killer pics, much-tattooed too, if you like that sort of decor. Anyway, she didn't have any reviews on TER, so I was naturally a bit skeptical. But sure enough, next time I checked back on here she was reviewed. It turns out it had been a terrible experience for the reviewer, bad if any real performance at all - and guess what, she didn't look like those hot pics! Anyway, I saw her ad again today, came back here to confirm that the review of her was as bad as I had remembered, and guess what - the review was no longer here. I know TER has a policy of pulling down reviews(all of them) when a provider requests, but I guess my question here is - what is the value of having a policy where scam artists / rip-offs can simply have their review removed upon request, and probably time after time. I know, I know, best way to avoid this is to stay away from BP, but is there any additional solution to this dilemma or a way or a forum to expose fakes and rip-offs?-- Modified on 7/5/2016 1:31:48 PM
a fake review or a revenge review and she was able to prove it.
it's not easy to have a review removed. we have to jump through a lot of hoops and wait patiently for the reviewer to respond to ter. the review stands until ter makes their decision.
you could contact her and ask her about it
I have written this on TER Arizona where I live and I will say it again. Yes BP is filled with scam artist, fake pics, etc....but I started on BP and I still post there along with other sites as well.
I have gotten some great regulars off of there for the simple fact older gentlemen find it easy to maneuver. When I do post on BP I put my TER#,usually in several places so that prospects can do their homework on me.
My rule to you guys who still go on BP is to adapt a rule of thumb. If the lady who peaks your interest only post on BP , have no reviews, or 1or 2 , no personal website, and her pics look to good to be true, don't pull that trigger.
As far as TER deleting the woman in question review, SMH I am not even going to post my opinion about that situation. But I will say, now you know where their loyalty lies so be safe luv.
