So to start I've been reading these boards for awhile and I want to thank you all for the great advice and reviews.
A common newb question seems to be the "she only has one review" so I have to ask; how reviewed is reviewed enough?
So I know the more reviews the better and you're never really safe BUT how far should I go before I can be reasonably confidant?
As an example, the scared newb in me made me decide to avoid a girl named Cloey
She only has one review on TER and another review on another site by a poster with a different user name. The other guy only has 3 reviews starting 5 months ago and I have no premium account here so I can't look into the TER reviewer. (yea yea I know I should go premium but whatever)
She has a website but it is basic at best and through something called weebly instead of the more common escort website provider services.
It seems like if this is an LE trap its a good one but how far should I go before feeling confidant?
The main thing that spooked me about her was, If she is such a new provider that she only has 2 reviews than she shouldn't be so experienced as to be posting ads on four different web sites and creating a page for herself. Also, her menu seems large for a new provider.
any thoughts?

You were right to avoid the provider that you mentioned. She seems to be a bit careless. Does not sound like she is LE. But any provider that posts her offerings in escort mall ads is worth avoiding. Menus are better worked out in private. A provider that has no or less than a handful of reviews may be legit. But as a newbie, you are better off leaving those providers to experienced hobbyists that have better BS radars. If you find a provider that has less than a handful of reviews but the reviewer(s) have rich review histories, try taking the plunge if the review of the provider is solid.
want a quality experience (i.e. hot fucking time) without the risk of B & S, C & D, etc.). Do your homework and you will be justly rewarded.
I've been doing this for a few years now and, last night, I finally decided to step out of my norm and meet a girl with only a Eros ad, and no website. But she had one good review from a [what i considered] reliable source, whom I spoke to personally about this lady. So I took the plunge... and got hosed.... B&S and provided no service of any sort after seducing me to lay down my envelope.
Now, I definitely don't believe that review was fake, but I thought I did my homework, and apparently 1 review is never enough!
Sometimes even 3-4 reviews are not enough.once a horrible looking lady confided and laughed at the matter than she gets away with fake pics since she had wonderful fake reviews posted.
besides the risk of LE. I feel a Newbie should look for 10-12 reviews, minimum. I've been told that there are sites as reliable as TER but I could not tell you which ones. I will say, sites which are provider driven... follow the money... are reluctant to post bad reviews even when deserved. YES, we have to pay more on TER but this site is Client driven.
Once one gains experience, perhaps reviews could be trimmed to 6. I never trust the FIRST REVIEW of a provider... hard for even TER to verify & in my limited experience, it seems like some were written by or for the provider.
Pay4Play is not for everyone. Some co-eds may THINK it's easy money... but really are not cut out for it. A bit of experience is a definate plus.

If you have a regular movie partner (because you love the same movies) tells you to go see the latest movie, THAT carries more weight than if the recommendation comes from some co-worker who loves only slasher movies (and you like dramas).
Look at the number of reviews each reviewer has posted. Do the numbers (ratings) look like you might expect? Has the reviewer seen well reviewed and well known ladies (what about whitelists)?
If she only has a few reviews, and the reviewers have little history, look at the review text to see if it looks like the same review copied over. Reviewers also tend to have a style. Look for consistency from one review to the next.
There are many factors to consider, which only you can tally. Over time you'll see reviews that pretty obviously appear to be written by/for the provider.
All reviewers ( since they are human) must have messed up at least once in their hobby life.- i.e they post a negative review... that's when are likely to be trustworthy.
There are simply too many scam artist providers, and simply too many who think they can handle this industry who have no clue what they're getting into. I agree with an earlier post, for the seasoned hobbyist, maybe taking a plunge on a non-reviewed provider is better because they may be able to sift through the BS not to be conned. For newbies, I'd say stick to well reviewed providers. It's safer for you and less of a hassle.
I think the answer to "how many reviews are enough" is more decided by individuals rather than a general answer.
I have 1 review here on ter.com. However, I have 10+ reviews on another website,and another lessly used website I have 3. Some men do not want to pay to review ladies. Some who review you also don't care to "share" the review with you or even tell you where they reviewed you. Some local message board type websites have reviewed m as well in which I had NO idea about until a previous client informed me I had 2-3 bad reviews on this one particular board.(in which the poster NEVER met me and lied about everything because he was upset I would not see him for 90/2hr)Also many men know about the general sites to find escorts but will not know of ter.com. Heck I've been doing this close to 9months now and I only found out about ter.com about 2months ago!
I think websites where you have to PAY a premium membership to review a lady are more accurate than those freebies out there. Someone is not going to pay a monthly membership then lie about an experience.
Use your gut feeling. Ladies who divulge too much information on "ads" could simply be careless or LE. Use your better judgement on how many reviews are enough. What 4 webpages is she posting on?If they are mainstream then this is not uncommon. Once being a newbie myself I grazed all the CL and BP and such. Girls who are not new and know the ropes will advertise on lesser known websites like ter.com,eros,etc. These are lesser known and you typically only know about them if someone in the hobby has suggested them to you!(also a escort website is a good indication that she is legit)
you should get TER Admin to link your review to your handle so we can get an idea of who you are (young, older MILF, blonde, brunette, tall, petite, busty, thin, etc.).

Just have one thing to say.. being a new provider has nothing to do with how many sites you advertise on, lol. I was on over 15 sites within my first week of starting.... google is a wonderful tool that will help any new lady trying to break into the industry. And having her own website means nothing either.. they are so easy to design now-a-days, a 10 yr old could have one up in about an hr....
