First and foremost thank you to all contributors for their patience and information. I'm probably overthinking this whole thing but still have questions. If I google a backpage providers number and it simply references ads for service which were picked up on other sites is that good or bad? What would be my optimal google return to provide confidence and what kind of return should spark skepticism? Also, I'm wondering how many guys gain access to the "juicy details" by providing erroneous reviews on providers with no reviews for ages. It's not a money issue, but cash transactions are less messy. Yes, know and respect that ter reviewed ladies are the way to go. I'm unreviewed and 45 min from where ter providers seem to be.
You can buy vip with gift cards, so check which vendors are accepted and buy a gift card from that vendor with cash. Now you have access to the juicy details via a cash transaction.
Also, I think it is worth it to drive 45 minutes to see a reliable provider if you are new.
and not a bevy of other providers, then it's all good.
Often a number search will tie up some kind of agency that has one number for many gals.
The occurrence of the same phone number - name - pic combo on multiple sites is not necessarily a collection of independent ad placements. It could be one ad illegally or deceptively cloned by other sites trying to get more traffic, more clicks and more revenue from advertisers. It will depend on WHERE you find the multiple occurrences. Eros does not steal from BP, so the ad on Eros and BP are independent ads, deliberately placed. Etc.
I still recommend that you start with Recent Reviews for your closest geographic area, even if it's 45 minutes away. What the heck, with VIP you can enter any LOCATION (Country = USA; City = All Cities; Location = (your actual city or neighborhood)). E.g., in New York, "Brooklyn" or "White Plains" or "Chelsea" are not cities on the list of cities. However, if the reviewer included that detail in his Review Form, you will get hits specifically for those non-listed locations.
Watch your closest Ad Board for recent ads. See if anyone you're interested in is "Newbie Friendly."
Maybe not what you want to hear, but be patient and don't let your little head overrule your big head
45 minutes isn't very far. I am a half hour or more away from where most of the providers end up in my state (downtown in one of the big cities or near the major airport). If there happens to be traffic it could take me an hour or more. Not a big deal.
Unfortunately it looks like your attempt to purchase VIP membership has failed due to your card being declined. Good news is that we have several other payment options that you could try.
We thank you for your purchase!
Membership should be activated shortly. You'll receive notification!
