So last night I opened an email from one of my ATF's who had a review rejected because the provider had delisted. He was concerned because it was a bad experience & being the awesome, selfless gent he is wanted to get the word out to help prevent others from making the same mistake.
He emailed her ad to me per my request & my head fell into my hands as I immediately recognized her. Yup! There was indeed a reason she delisted (herself) Fortunately however she was not smart enough to completely cover her tracks & eliminate all the intel related to her from our beloved internet & I was able to send him "The rest of the story."
This is just one of many times I have come across this. He is DEFINITELY NOT alone. So I was thinking perhaps the time is long overdue to discuss the many resources available outside TER, Tineye, ect that will be helpful to one another to ensure your money is well spent.
Here are a few off the top of my head thoughts that come to my mind.
Google search is your best friend. Search for names, phone number ect using keywords such as reviews, TER. You get the idea.
Tineye, Google images & remember if you see a pic on BP that doesn't offer the option to enlarge it is a download (STOLEN)
Backchannel with one another. Private message reviewers. Utilize your Reviewer only board. In other words ask & be open to being asked & ready to help each other in any way possible. Keeping each other safe & smiling. PRICELESS!
Safe wishes & warm, sensual hugs-n-kisses!
