hen a gentleman provides me with a TER handle as part of his screening information, I don't simply take his word for it that it's actually his handle.
Ladies, there are simple steps to confirm it's actually his account.
1) Under the "Reviews" tab, click "Search" > "Search By Reviewers"
2) Copy and paste the email address he contacted you from (do NOT search by the handle he provided)
3) If the TER handle he provided pops up, then it's actually his handle. If the TER handle he provided does NOT pop up, proceed to step 4!
4) In the event that the TER handle he provided does not match his email, simply respond saying something like,
"Thanks for providing me with that information, however I notice that the TER handle you provided is not linked to the email address you wrote me from. Could you please confirm what email address you registered your TER account with?"
Ladies, if the guy is legit, he will provide the alternate email address for you to cross-reference. If he's a scammer, he will either not write back, or will create some BS.
BE SMART AND BE THOROUGH!!!! Being lazy about screening is a major risk to your well-being.
