Several months ago, TER introduced the "Search on TER" plugin.  I allows you to select a name or phone  number on a webpage, and with a right mouse button click, immediately search TER's review database.  This is a quick and convenient way to search for info!  Unfortunately, it is also a right click option on all websites for all users.

Hello,
I am a relative newbie to the scene and have been greatly benefitting from the advice and experiences of fellow hobbyists. There’s this one provider that had caught my eye on backpage.com but I’m not sure how reliable she is. (Do not want to encounter and trouble with LE sting) She seems to be posting her ad regularly and has a phone number on her ad. I checked it out online to see where the phone number is registered to and it said that the number was for a maid service. Is this a common thing that a newbie like me is missing and sound pretty safe or should warning bells be going off in my head?

It's unusual to get a trace on a providers number other than to a cell phone.  If she's using a landline she's PFD  (pretty fu**king dumb).

As for maid service, it could be a former business or something else she does.  (TS Jamie's Housecleaning - We do Anything but Windows...giggle)

Could be LE, but probably not - they usually just use confiscated cell phones or else set up a whole company with a "secretary" to verify employment, etc.

Call her and ask her about it.

Best,
TS Jamie :-)

I did the same thing with one of the very first providers I had wanted to see.  I googled her phone number, and I found an old ad for a hair styling place.  If anything, this gave me confidence that she wasn't LE, because I figured that was probably her civilian job and LE wouldn't have a connection to that ad.  

However, that was just my newbie logic, which I didn't necessarily trust.  But that was also about the time I found TER, and I decided then that I would stick with well reviewed providers until I got more experience, so I never did see her.

As I said, she probably was OK, but looking back on it now, since her ad was from CL in LV, there was plenty of opportunity for danger, and I don't have any regrets by playing it safe.

In your case -- does this provider have any reviews?

That's the thing that threw me off. She's a fairly attractive lady and seems to me that someone from TER would have reviewed her, but I didn't find anything that matched her profile.

Phone companies used to retire numbers for years in order to avoid confusion and wrong numbers, but the explosion of need for phone numbers owing to cell phones and faxes has often meant that phone companies will recycle a number after only a few months, so this may be nothing more than a case of that.

Another theory is that she had (or still has) a "maid" service that is a front for escorting of some type.  This is not an uncommon way of escorts trying to circumvent LE.

and see if she has reviews.  As a relative newbie, I will not see anyone off an ad unless she has multiple good reviews by reviewers who have done multiple reviews.

You'll do yourself two favors this way-  you'll know she is probably not LE if she has multiple recent reviews, and you'll better assure yourself of a good experience.

If I see someone on an ad that I really want to see but she has no or few reviews, I just wait and watch.  If she's that hot and is safe, reviews will show up.  Two that I watched that way turned out to be not good ideas by reviews- one bait and switch, and one pregnant and only offering french- waiting paid off!

Jazz is right, because on my website, it does ask for appointment and you have to fill information.  It does tell me where it is coming from.  I have retired for few years and now I am back. I hardly ever used TER in the past, but I like what they have done and it is great and very safe to use this site for advertisement and private too.  I am new to this and I am still learning.  Way to go Jazz!

Meow,
Missy
