A few thoughts

1) If you have carefully done your homework you will not see someone who would mis-use yoiur personal info.
2)  Why would she have your work info anyway?  If she asks for info you are not comfortable giving, don't see her.
3)  If you have negative things you wish to say in your review and you're concerned, use a review alias.  Wait to post it for a month or so, then don't include any info that would tip her off that it's you.
4) If you have a hobby phone, what does it matter if she has your phone #?  It's not tied to you in any way.  If you don't have such a phone, get one.  Please do a search on hobby phones, etc.  It's all here.

This is a question I've pondered.  The provider often has detailed information about you--where you work, and possibly live, your phone numbers etc.  So you have a lousy experience and want to let your fellow hobbiests know about it.  Aren't you a little afraid that they might take revenge?  You hurting and in some cases killing their business?  The power is in their hands--you only thing you know about them is their fake name and not much more.

Let's assume you are correct, and there is a provider out there who is actively blackmailing guys to build a lot of excellent, and dishonest, reviews. Do you really think that is a good, sustainable, business model?

First thing you do is PM me, and I PM a few of my friends, maybe post something on the RO board about avoiding this crazy woman who is threatening to out guys if they do not give good reviews. The message gets out and soon her business is slowing down (on top of that, no one is going back for repeat dates anyway, because she can't blackmail them into that). In a couple of months she has disappeared only to re-emerge with a new name and game. Problem is, all those wonderful reviews have hardly been worth the trouble since she cannot use them any more.

Any lady who is comfortable using your personal information to extort something from you is looking for more than a good review.

BTW, I review under my handle, ask the ladies for permission and tell them what I will say if they ask. Took me a little while to work out that approach, but it seems to work perfectly. Three ladies have asked me not to review them. I was not thrilled with any of the three, but that was a question of rapport in all three cases, and not failure to deliver as promised. If something is a rip off of any sort, I would leave immediately and review without hesitation, but I screen well enough that I have never had that experience.

from who don't require your first born to get an appt. Also, keep all emails to prove you had a confirmed appt. and send a "thank you" email after you've seen her to prove it went through. Wait a month or so and write the review, and if she tries to dispute it you will have the proof that you saw her.

Most guys that give me their personal info. are all newbies who don't write reviews to begin with, or I would not have their info. I can't imagine someone that needy for a good review, but then again I can. Many women are obsessed with being in the top 100, than the quality of the body content in their reviews. Anyone can tweak their scores and only see guys who hand out 9s and 10s like candy on Halloween, but a truly great provider will have more confidence in her service than that.

There are women out there who will only be nice to guys they know write reviews...says very little about them. If you are a total bitch and a rip off to guys who don't write reviews, you are not a good provider overall. We should be the same way with everyone regardless of if they write reviews.
