A provider that I'm interested in seeing has less than 5 reviews and 2 of the reviewers have no other reviews published on TER.

How far back do they go? Are they white listed by anyone you know?

What about her her? Does she only have ads on CL or BP?

Does she have a site? Is she charging below market rates? Does her ad inspire confidence in her, or is it poorly written with bad pics? Are the pics stolen...

Just a few quick thoughts.

I have seen a number of your posts on here and they have a common theme of apprehention.

A suggestion, since you worry significantly about such things you would probably be better off seeing a very well reviewed therefore very very safe provider.

What general area are you in (state, city) and I am sure you will get some suggestions.

If you set up a date and you are as nervous as you sound in your posts you will not give yourself the best odds of having a great experience.

So if I lookup an image from backpage or eros or whatever, and it is found on a number of sites other than well known provider ad sites then what??

Do you assume the ad or provider is TGTBT or a rip-off or bait-and-switch?

what type of site is that?

If you run it threw tinyeye and it comes up that it was a pic on the cover of vogue and without the head fuzzed out it is clealry uma therman it is probably not a provider IF the tinyeye leads you to a ladies website well she is probably a providerGood luck Kendall

MsMocha, go there and try it out, it's free, easy and fun!  You can find out if a particular image appears on several different websites, and then you can draw your conclusions from that.  Please see my response to WaterBoys.

WaterBoys, as amazonian said, it depends.

Sometimes it's the same legit provider advertising on other sites with the same e-mail and phone number.  

Usually, this is okay, but if the the same pic shows up on sites/ads that haven't been updated in 4 years, well, you may be in for a surprise when you open the door if the pics aren't current.

Other times, we've seen cases where it comes up as Victoria's Secret catalog photos, Playboy playmates, or stock photo sales sites.  In these cases, it's usually safe to conclude that it will be a Bait and Switch in the best case, but in the worst case it could be an LE sting or a criminal ripoff where your financial and bodily health could be at significant risk.

Good luck and safe hobbying!

I checked several TGTBT pics from CV Los Angeles on Tineye recently.  They actually were pics of providers in St Petersburg..Russia.

I look for 5+ reviews and these reviewers must have more than 4 reviews. Many people just write 3 reviews and stop; leading me to believe its just for VIP.
