I don't know this girl, and I can understand how someone would be hesitant to send a 50% deposit to a local provider, especially one that is not well-known.
Two things I want to bring up are about "red flags," and try to explain to some of you, are:
1) Requesting no reviews. Lots of legitimate providers request that no reviews be posted of them. The biggest reasons are a) some guys think a provider will act exactly as the review stated, for example DFK. But if the guy is not up to par, or personalities didn't click, then the lady may not want to do DFK with him. (YMMV applies to the guys too.) b) To stay below LE's radar. If there are no reviews, it's harder for them to track your business. c) Some ladies just prefer that "what happens in the bedroom, stays in the bedroom." Not everyone wants to kiss and tell, and that goes for the guys too. In my experience, a majority of the guys out there DON'T want to review a provider. Take a look when you are reading the posts here, not even all of the regular posters have written reviews.
I have been on both sides of this, at one time I wanted everyone to review me, but then after having so much exposer, I decided I wanted to be under the radar. For the past 2 or so years, I have not wanted to be reviewed at all.
In a case where a provider requests no reviews, I would say that it's safe to assume that if a provider was a rip-off, there would be a review. If a guy feels wronged by a provider, then no disclaimer is going to stop him from warning the other guys about her. True?
2) No phone number. Again, I have been on both sides of this and totally understand why some providers would not want their phone number posted publicly. When I had MJ & Friends, I had my number public. I got many calls from a) bozos wasting my time by only wanting to be phone friends, b) kids thinking it was funny to call an escort, c) guys calling to hear your voice and then jack-off to it, d) hang up calls from people who were curious to see if someone would pick up the phone, and e) call in the middle of the night when I was trying to sleep.
After MJ & F closed, I decided not to make my phone number public so I didn't have to deal with any of that. It has worked for me by only giving my number to those that I choose to give it to, or those who have an appointment set with me. Also, another reason that I have it this way is because my personal friends and family know this number and I wouldn't want anyone to see it posted in some ad. I would guess that could be another reason some ladies choose not to post their numbers. I can bet though, that if you email the provider and request to talk on the phone, she'd be happy to.
The only reason I bring these two points up is because I don't want all ladies who don't like to be reviewed, and/or their phone numbers posted in an ad, to get a bad rap. Especially when influential posters are telling the world that these causes are always a red flag. Maybe not all, but some readers do take things some of you say to heart, so I am just reminding you all of that. I bet if you really took a look, some of your favorite providers fit into both scenarios.
Peace!
