Multiple reviews (some say at least 5, 3 works for me) by experienced hobbyists--not guys with only one or two reviews.  There are no guarantees in life; just a chance to make the odds more in your favor.

Much the same way a provider verifies a gentleman’s references....… Just b/c the last few reviews and ask if the review was pretty accurate, let the hobbyist know you are a newbie.

You can also check a local police docket web site,  just to see if the ladies photo had been placed on the site in recent days.

Chances are good (*but not prefect*) that if the provider is established, hasn’t been arrested lately and you check her reviewers you have pretty much covered all of your bases....… your chances will be greater if you check all of this that the woman you are meeting is indeed who you were expecting......…  

Happy hobbying- Know your provider (*and her reputation*)  ........Kisses ~T

I am still relatively new to the hobby but have now arranged a few successful meetings with providers. The advice given above is the best way...stick with well reviewed ladies. I think it would be dificult for L/E to get a name posted on TER with a ton of reviews without raising the eyebrows of many of the long-time hobbyists here. But don't just read the reviews. Check the message boards as sometimes posters have info on L/E scams in certain areas. Best of luck!

a provider who has reviews from hobbiest who have posted several reviews always makes me comfy!
