Wow, that is weird, hearing about providers actually recommending that to other providers. I bet they would think twice if it was their pictures being stolen. So crazy on so many levels. First of all like you said, what if she thinks she looks like someone but nobody else thinks so. Secondly to start off a date so deceptively. Thirdly the whole copyright infringement and outright theft of pictures. Of course, it is really hard to press charges in these incidents. And to top it all off, it is so easy to just use their own pictures with cropped or blurred faces. Anyway, interesting post Naomi, Hearing it from the other side.
I am generally new to this and I was wondering how often this happens and why....I was checking out an ad on erosohio of some girl who goes by Ashea and thought she would be a good place to start,judging by my hormonal reaction to her pics.Well something was vaguely familiar with those pics but couldn't quite place it.A couple of days later when I contacted her via email it looked like a done deal and set a time a few days later.I went to that erosohio ad again and this time it dawned on me that she looked like Playboy Playmate Neferteri Shepherd,so I googled her name and 'shower'in the image search and DAMN it came up!!!Looks like Ashea was using someone else's pics in her ad.....it must happen a lot and suckers fall for it.Well,that was it for me so I didn't contact her until she emailed me back wondering if we were still on.I decided to confront her on this and ask why she did it,expecting her not to reply back.Surprisingly,she did saying that she was sorry about that,"working on pics and site of my own when I get better settled."She told me to look up her facebook page under her 'original name' and yes there it is of her with pictures of friends and family.No she didn't look like Neferteri the playmate but she looked SEXUALLY ATTRACTIVE!This even led me to more confusion that if she looked this great,why the hell did she use someone else's pics in her ad?I emailed her today with this question so I am awaiting the reply,but I'm holding off until I get 'the right answer' if it comes at all.I still am open to seeing her but the evidence has to be overwhelming and who knows if it is a real facebook account? lol
I welcome any reasonable replies.....
lady with pics you can verify. Did she screen you? I'd want to know why if not. It's not definite that this is a wreck about to happen but the chances are more than I care to take. Facebook, original name, maybe! That would bother me too.
Yes she screened me with my work info.
On one of the provider only sites that I belong to some of the girls discuss using fake pics. They were telling a girl who didn't want her face out there because she lives with her folks and didn't want them to know what she is doing.
They told her to find a model online who looked similar to her - same body type, and coloring, etc. And post those pics because if the model looks close enough to the way she looks, it won't matter.
The flaw in this reasoning is - if a lady looks in the mirror and sees Jennifer Anniston and so she posts pics of Jennifer Anniston because she thinks thats someone who looks very close to her look. But someone else, maybe the gent who shows up to meet Jennifer, ends up meeting Ellen Degenres instead.
Stick with the ladies who actually post their real pics, not pics of someone they think they look like.
She had a similar body type but that was it.Still highly attractive which I found strange.One guess would be she has a kid(judging by the facebook account)and maybe her family is religious or moralistic to the point that she couldn't risk putting her real pics out......who knows

I've NEVER seen established, legit girls suggest that anyone should use fake pics.
It is very common for ladies to post ads with fake pictures on any escort website. It is especially comomn on backpage, but you cna find it on all other ad sites too including here on the TER ad pages. there was a report of one here about a month ago. Many use pictures form model websites, porn stars, cam girls, legit escorts, and even facebook etc.
No gurarantee, the photos she showed you on facebook are here either. And if they are, that is a redflag in itself. Why would an escort give you her facebook page with pictures of her friends etc. Kind of weird. Of course most of the ladies using fake pics are not anywhere near as good looking as the pics, but i have heard of many that are actually pretty in their own right, yet steal pics for some reason.
This is why we always stress to newbies, "stick to well reviewed providers." If you start your search here on TER it will be easy to find well reviewed ladies. if you find ladies elsewhere like on eros, then search here for reviews. you can search by name, website, phone number email address etc. So take the info you find on eros and use it here in the review search engine.
One of the first things that you will see on a review profile (if she has one) is: Are the pictures real, and are they an accurate depiction. Then you can see all the other information on the profile and in the juicy details. VIP membership here is a must.
Other tricks are to google the phone number and emaill address you find on the ad, and to image search the pictures, using google image search. Had you done that when you first saw the picture, it would have probably popped up right away that she was a playboy model.
Be glad you didn't fall for it. Learn to do your homework. Get VIP here if you don't already have it. Read back a bunch of pages on this newbie board. Read the self help center. Then find a lady with good reviews. Good luck
Got the VIP membership yesterday so I'm covered.I guess the important point is that if you see something odd,go with your gut.Error on the side of caution,not your hormones.
Move on, sounds like she's a newbie provider. A newb provider with a newb hobbyist usally means a NOT so good time. We had a provider where I hobby a lot who used to use fake pictures. Her reviews used to read fake pictures, but had a great time. Eventually she got her act together and got her own pics. She didn't want her face in her pics so she used someone elses pics. Go figure, newb providers make a lot of mistakes just like newb hobbyist. My suggestion, move on, until this provider gets her act together and gets some reviews. Good luck
It's looking like to be the only choice...moving on.
The facebook part is strange, pictures of her with friends and family. I would assume it's a fake just like the pics, and if it's real she is stupid.
I would pass,
very common pictures that are stolen from other providers,social media sites,porn sites,etc are being used in ads.There is no reason whatsoever to use someone else's pictures if a provider does not want to show her face crop or blur the pics it is not hard.All of those excuses that these people say when being asked why they are using fake pics are BS reasons.As a provider who has had her photos stolen it is a pain in the butt to get the fake ads removed if even possible and it is not cool!The reason why providers use these fake pics because they get enough business from guys who will still go through with the appointment even though the provider in person looks nothing like the pics.As long as guys continue to reward bad behavior these ladies will continue to use fake pictures.
I say like this if a lady is starting off by using fake pics which is already dishonest how do you think the appointment is going to go?Go with well-reviewed providers and you will not have to guess.
Also,why would someone who was asked about using fake pics give you access to her real facebook page?How do you know indeed that facebook page is even her?She could have sent you a name of anybody on facebook and say she is that person.Who does that?Talking about not being discreet too many red flags!
Good luck to you!
screening you, what is to say your date will stay confidential?
Move on.
Lastly, your post would be easier to read if you used paragraphs.
I START with TER recent reviews for my area. Then I work backward, looking at ads linked. Checking picts, phones, emails... Fake pictures is an automatic disqualifier to me. Her pictures from long ago, that she doesn't look like anymore, are a disqualifier. This is a Bait & Switch... and I will not reward scammers.

Well I gave the brush-off to 'Ashea' and moved on to a woman that has actually been reviewed on TER several times---Eva Loren who escorts out of my home base of Columbus,Ohio.Sorry to say it wasn't the best,but at least it wasn't the worst either.She came an hour late(let me know ahead of time which was forgivable)I was a little too tense,she was a bit distant,we both we're a little 'off' and it was mostly a forgettable hour.However,she was a pro and the session had its 'moments'.I didn't get off but gotten what I could out of it.I like to think that as mundane as the session with Eva was,at least I didn't get shitted on by 'Ashea' leaving a rotting tuna aftertaste. lol 'Ashea' still has her ad up on erosohio....so if anyone from my neck of the woods wants to check her out,please tell me how that turned out.If she is legit then I might go for her.
I'll consider it
a review about her is posted
