I'm looking for a provider in the St. Louis area and don't know how to tell who's legit and who's a cop.  Help anyone?  How do I know the providers that have ratings aren't fake cop postings?

That is thee best advice(previous post)... Also post under regional board inquiring on said provider... Maybe you'll find people who have seen her and didn't review her and learn a bit more.  I personally don't feel ** Personally ** that they would be a cop and keep up with "Games" and let themselves get reviewed over and over.

Nothing is 100%, there is risk in everything.  We need to keep the risk to a minimum.

Jenny's got it.  
You need VIP to read the reviews.  You need to read them, to be sure you get a good match.  You need to check the other reviewers, that they've reviewed other ladies...  even what some of those read like.
VIP cost far less than even one spoiled date or wasted opportunity...  I've not had a bad date since joining TER.
