Our initial success allowed us to raise sufficient amount of money to launch a “mystery shopper” program. We are looking for a few good men who would get paid to see providers and then report on their performance. Not only all expenses will be covered (such as provider’s fees and transportation to and from) but you will actually be paid a decent hourly rate for your efforts (I know what you think: “Is it a dream come true?” Read on). Since “mystery shoppers” will not be spending any money out of their pockets AND they will be not be paid by providers or their agencies for their reviews (the infamous TER routine), there will be NO INCENTIVE whatsoever to lye and submit fake positive (or negative for that matter) reviews (those who have been burn by TER, know what I am talking about). Furthermore, just in case, several “shoppers” will be sent to the same agency (or independent provider) to see the same person. They will know each other or even about each other, so the evidence will be corroborated and the system of checks and balances will be in place. The risks involved in becoming a “mystery shopper” are the same as the risks involved in casual hobby. For hiring purposes, we will implement a screening system similar to the one used by independent providers, nothing outlandish. The reports from “mystery shoppers” missions will be posted on a brand new web site, which is already built and beta tested and will be unveiled once the hiring is done and the first reports start coming in. You can apply by responding to this posting through e-mail. Be wise and careful with the initial information you are going to e-mail us (just in case, if someone else is watching, if you know what I mean). We will e-mail you further instructions on how to proceed. The “mystery shoppers” reports will be directly tied to TER’s so-called reviews and ultimately every provider and agency from TER’s (and others, but primarily TER’s) database will make it into ours.

The sunset of TER is in sight.

"could this be real??"  If you do, send me $100 and I'll tell you how to become a millionaire.

Isn't Elm the owner of TER? That post doesn't even make sense.

Nothing new under the sun.......

God That is scary.. Someone should make up a name and so on reply just to see if the person can be ID'D.

In my experience, the vast majority of reviews on TER are legit and trustworthy.  However, I did feel slightly led astray on my most recent hobbying experience with Monica.
