Scrolling through the newly listed Providers recently I was struck by how many had their first review posted by a first time reviewer.  Maybe I missed it before but I was shocked by the regularity of the occurrence.

It's one thing for a regular reviewer to occassionally "Take One for the Team" and post a review of a previosly unreviewed provider.  But a new reviewer posting a TER review of a previously unreviewed Provider.  Seems contrary to the entire intent of TER.  Is it just me or is that an obvious fake review being planted?

One agency, NY Angel takes it a step further.  2 newly listed Providers with that agency each have 2 reviews.  But all of the reviewers are posting a TER review for the first time.

Here's another obvervation with one newly reviewed Provider.  There have been some posts recently suggesting that "1800 for a date" is actually NY Pink (an agency I never used).  I found a review of a newly listed Provider from that agency.  I looked up the reviewer that posted the Provider's one review.  I was surprised to see that he actually had 6 prior reviews.  When I checked his reviews, the first two were Providers with New York Pink.  He gave each 9/9s.  The next three were all for the "successor" agency, 1800 for a date.  Again he gave all three 9/9s and in fact one of the recent reviews was about by a Provider with the same name as one of the NY Pink Providers.  Now to be fair, this guy had a 7th review, this time a Provider with an AMP that he gave a 7/7.  He did say he is from out of town but the sequence of reviews just seemed suspicious.

Be careful out there.

I realised this shit a long time ago, it is running wild on this board... and probably be for a loooong time.

is what so many of us have been talking about on the NY Board for quite some time. It's nice to have you join our ranks!!

...and phony pictures than ever before.

Be careful.
