I appreciate that most of the fine ladies here exercise prudent due diligence when selecting a new client.  However,  If some guy tells you that I (vetchief) or any other TER acquaintance recommends you, please double check!
 I, and I'm certain other reputable hobbyist, are being used as fake references.

Yeah.  Dirt Bag.  That describes him perfectly

Ladies, be sure to have the guy PM you from the handle...make sure it's actually him

A great way to start is by having the potential clients send you a pm here on TER 1st to verify that is actually his real handle.

Grazie to worning us

Someone was trying to use my TER handle to book appointments.  Unfortunately, the people that he tried to contact knew me and let me know what was going on.  TER's response was that basically there was nothing that they could do about it.  Bottom line is everyone needs to be careful, do proper screenings, and make sure that references are checked.

It's amazing that several PM's to me correctly guessed who the creep is.
It's ironic (no wonderful)  that he told the lady "my good friend vetchief recommends you and said I should book you ASAP"
Of course she contacted me for verification....  Too Bad...
She probably would  seen him, had he not lied....  
He ain"t exactly an Intellectual Giant.... LMFAO

I want the provider to feel safe. If they are on P411 I will contact thru that entity, as well.

I never responded!
