I've been eyeing and ad for the past few days and am hessitant to call. I tried to find reviews for her everywhere with no luck. I was wondering if there is anything people look at to figure if it's real or if it may be LE. The link's below, thanks.





Olsen, the Newbie Board is not for information on specific ads, but for the other members' edification, it was a BackPage Ad with pics that were TGTBT and a reoccurring history of posting and no reviews for the phone number.

No reviews = no business from me.  Sorry, not going to take the chance on an unknown unless I received her information as a referral from another provider.  There are many TGTBT (too good to be true) ads you'll see.  Use your big head and not your little one when making decisions.  That is my best advice to you, especially if you are new to the hobby.

I feel the same.If a provider has many reviews I at least know they are not le thanks to ter's review system.

I use email contact when I am trying an unreviewed provider. Legit providers are more willing to deal with the slower email route for getting new business. ROBs and the like want quick hits and prefer phone calls. My experience may not be for every hobbyists, but it has worked for me.

Backpage ads allow email contact. Use the email button to contact the person placing the ad. Ask specifically whether she has reviews on an escort review site. Wait a week, if you get no answer, move on. ROBs, B&S artist, ripoffs, and upsellers cram into sits like backpage, eros, cityvibe and craigslist to mention a few. The losers want a hobbyists to call them, that gives them the fast money possibility. Avoid calling them, they are skilled at deception and once they have you on the phone can convince you to allow them to rip you off.

are rip-offs. I have but one review On another site) and I advertise on CL and BP when business is slow, and my regulars and repeats aren't calling.

As with any other service industry, you have to do your research. There are plumbers who've screwed up pipes and are still being hired.  There are pavers who'll do half the job on your driveway and they'll still get cash from the next sucker.  Do your research, email or call the person for more information, and above all, use the smarts you were given. If it seems too good to be true, don't go to the lady.

Funny, I'm really struggling with whether or not call on an ad.
Usually if the lady shows skin, she's not LE (entrapment) If she doesn't yet has many reviews, I go for it.
This girl shows no skin and has only one review so I'm skeptical. Better to be safe.

you have no idea of what you are getting into.

That's the whole reason this site exists.

Yes everyone starts off with no reviews, let the experienced guys figure out which ones look legit.

Before I found TER...  I read the ad sites & called a few...  I did get scammed several times.  I hated the wasted opportunity, the disappointment, the loss of value for the donation.  I remember walking back to my car in half the time I'd paid for (rush job, not the girl in the picts, not even a bed! Gees!) thinking for this donation I could have been with a TER lady...
NOW, I know better & start on TER.  I know going in what is up since I check everything, her ads, her web site, her reviews...  have not been disappointed since.

Never go with a provider who is not heavily reviewed on TER or comporable sites. There is just no reason to risk it. And check out more than a few of the ads on CL et al. You'll notice the exact same pictures for multiple providers, a clue which screams "stay away!"

reverse image search.  I am betting most of those too good to be true ads you will find they are using a stock model pic.  

Best to stay with the well reviewed ladies.

I'm sorry but if they look like a super model and the price is low,...run far far away!
