by first time reviewers, and they both smell like fish. Not that I have anything against fish.

How about a reviewer who surfaced in Feb. as a second reviewer of a provider
Now has eight reviews of which all but one he is the first reviewer of all but one of the other reviews .
Think maybe a connection!!  
By the way reviews are NOT out of line with later ones but seem at least a special introduction of new providers in some sort of association.

Just got another one today too - same thing, unknown guys first review. After getting 10 reviews in like 2 weeks and being the most popular provider for a few months, the reviews disappeared for awhile.
 Now comes along 3 magical reviews that all say pretty much the same. She is Gods gift from heaven that can do nothing wrong that are written by guys who sound like they have never seen a girl naked or been touched by one in there life.

All first time reviewers of the same provider, all BS. Give us a break.

...is the name, shilling is his game.

The problem is that MR BBJ with all these Shill reviews now has a real track recoded  
Would make book that an assistant/ scheduler is Mr. BBJ or close to him/her.
Guess is a good way to get a name out there as most had another review or reviews soon after
Maybe a lesson for the providers who think TER does not help generated business.

This is why it's important to research the reviewers as well as the provider.  Some good fake reviews are enough to lure newer hobbyists.

The first couple reviews for a new provider are always suspect, especially if the reviewer is new too.

I have noticed it as well. Seems to be a good way to tell which providers work with the same scheduler (and a certain location/s). The reviews seem bs, but I have had good luck in the past with this location if it is the one I am thinking of - a couple lukewarm visits, but overall pleasing. Still makes me nervous to TOFTT on one of the new providers with the shill reviews.

I’ve had a run of being first reviewer.  Kind of fun and exciting like a quest you could say. Been a couple duds. I resurfaced in February once I realized TER was back and had to change my handle as I didn’t have my previous log in info.

I always appreciate your reviews!  

None of us IMHO are referencing your first reviews . Actually glad to see them.
On the ones in question wait for a TRUSTED reviewer to back up the Shill

was referencing 3 specific reviews posted 5 days ago
by 3 brand new supposedly different reviewers
posting their very first reviews of any kind
all for the same provider
in the space of a couple of days
all of them written in a similar gushing style
all with the same scores

That’s what I was thinking but just wanted to make sure.

She posted this weekend that she got in a bad car accident and her car was totaled and she needed money fast. BOOM, 2 new reviews with the highest scores she can receive. This lady in a marketing genius. I always wonder if this actually works but we all know it does.
