Hello, so I'm fairly new to this and I've never submitted anything to a discussion board but I need help/advice and I'm hoping someone can give me advice. So I've always prided myself with treating everyone I encounter with respect and kindness which is why people have always written good reviews about me since I've started but recently someone left a review about me that is nothing but complete lies. This person did this because I refused to see him after he acted psychotic and treated me with complete disrespect by calling me names among other things for no reason other than he has a drug problem & isn't completely right in the head. The problem is he wrote a review saying I have a pimp and he was thrown out my room and never got to see me which are complete lies. On his way to see me he disrespected me over the phone which is when I told him I would no longer meet with him. Either way we never met then he leaves this review. I've already contacted the support team and the man who left the fake review but is there anything else I can do? This guys ruining my otherwise perfect history of reviews as well as my reputation. Also, why is it that clients can leave reviews about providers but providers can't leave reviews about clients when they've done wrong by them to warn other providers ? This is just not fair. This needs to be changed. Thank you in advance to anyone who responds. Have a blessed day.

2) Getting TER to take down a bad review is tough.  First of all TER wants to have as many reviews in its database as possible, so the bar is high.  You will need to produce substantial and credible proof the review is false.  But if you do, there's a good chance they'll remove it.  It also depends on the reviewer in question's credibility.

Yes I immediately contacted TER and notified them and have been corresponding with them for nearly two weeks since the review was posted. They told me to PM the guy and ask him to remove the fake review which I've already done. Of course this person has failed to even respond to my message or me asking him why he'd leave these horrible lies about me. I've had a stalker the last few months I've been avoiding because after only two sessions he kept calling and texting me 50+ a day and sending me messages about how he was in love with me and jealous that I see other clients (he's married with kids BTW) . He's begged me for months to see him and I've refused and completely ignored him and now I'm 99% sure he's the one who left this review but of course because the situation he claims happened didn't happen I'm not even sure who this guy is or if I've ever actually met him in person or not or if he's just someone bitter that I won't or wouldn't meet him. I've never taken ANYONES money or had anyone in my room when I was with a client ever so how am I even supposed to know who this liar is? I'ts just so frustrating that clients can write reviews on providers but providers aren't allowed to comment or tell their side or write a review on a client when a client has crossed the line and violated or disrespected a provider. Seems to me that TER doesn't seem to give a shit about us providers, our reputation or our safety. They are only concerned about voicing the clients side of a story without letting a provider inform people of her side. It's just not right.

I wish I could stop worrying about it but I can't because it's been affecting me and my business all week. People have been scheduling and flaking or cancelling after reading my reviews because of this review. Clients don't take kindly to being robbed or girls with pimps so for someone to say those things about me it is affecting me. I've never robbed anyone in my whole life. People feel like I'm unsafe or like I'm going to have my pimp take their money and throw them out which is absolutely ridiculous. If the guy just said I sucked at my job I wouldn't care and your right people would most likely take a chance on me anyway but when people think I have a pimp and I'm a rob they aren't going to even consider seeing me so it really is a problem and it really is affecting me that this degenerate drug addict made up these lies about me. It makes me look unsafe.

Ashley I have to be the one who is honest with you. That view is a huge red flag I live in phx and I have seen your profile before, but now with that review I don't think that I would take the possible chance that it is correct. It also is a hard thing because the reviewer who posted the bad review has a lot of reviews so some may think that he is the most credible out of them, but he has no whitelist showing that can be a red flag on this part as well for me. If this didn't happen Im sorry and I hope you can get this removed and business picks up for you.

As others have mentioned you need to contact to TER adm. use the contact us feature and explain what happened. Your other 3 reviews are good and the reviewers have a decent past in writing reviews.  

Azdesert, My point EXACTLY. Because some liar possessive stalker fell in love with me after two visits and wanted more than I was willing to offer him he decided to try and make people not want to see me by WRITTING these lies about me because he's mad I won't have a monogamous relationship with him and be his gf. I'm an ESCORT not a dating website I'm not looking or wanting a relationship and because he was now I've got to deal with new clientele being scared to see me. It's just not right that one jerkoff can write a review about a girl and the girl is never even allowed to respond to it. Basically we are condemned without even the right to plead our case or tell our side. How is this fair? Either way I'm sorry that this jerk has made you not want to consider meeting me anymore it's very disturbing to me. As I said I contacted TER and they told me to contact the liar and I did but chances are he'll still be a mad jealous jerk  because I won't suck his dick anymore and he won't delete it willingly. Hopefully TER does the right thing & delets it if he doesn't. Otherwise I guess I'm forced to change my number and start over which I really don't want to do.  

Thank you hidden hills for your input. In this case I guess I've done all I can do already to right the wrong that's been done to me and now I must just be patient and wait and hopefully this matter can be rightly resolved sooner than later. Thank you.  

Hopefully admin will resolve this quickly for you.  

If you have any regulars, you might consider seeing them and having them post positive reviews for you.  While I'd agree with Azdesert as to being concerned about the (very) negative review, I'd also suggest that it can be countered by a few positive reviews that are more recent.  I'm a huge fan of this site, or at least the idea of it.  For me, the reviews give me peace of mind that I'm meeting with someone who is legitimate; they aren't using someone else's pictures, they aren't 50 when the ad says 30, they aren't 200 pounds when the ad says 120 pounds, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.  That said, if I see one or two bad reviews mixed in with a dozen positive reviews, I won't give the one or two review a lot of weight.  Good luck!

There are liars on both sides of the bed here and Admin has to make the determination as to which of you is the most credible. Anything you can provide to them to prove your side of the story will help. Especially if you have anything from him showing you had seen him before.  

but also, new reviews or re-reviews (no free days for the reviewer & their old review will come down) will quickly show the review to be false.  You have few reviews so far so this is more difficult but an occasional outlier is to be expected in this most personal of interactions between 2 unique individuals.  Experienced hobbiests understand about outliers...  they might question it but we DO know.

If he only met the pimp, and not her, how can he even leave a review?  
 

If I read it correctly, he claims he was upsold when he got there, by her I am presuming, and then she called her "boyfriend" who took his money and kicked him out. So according to his review, there was an actual meeting.  

It sure seems possible. I'm hoping TER looks into this guy! :-/ Also the fact that the reviewer asses in info about a pimp to me makes it even more harmful.  

In fact, I said pretty much the same thing you did: contact TER.  All I added was she'd need strong proof. Maybe you were referring to my first point, that one bad review won't hurt her.  Generally, that's true, although if she only has a few reviews that changes things a bit.

If they never met, it shouldn't be up. Period.  

Girl,

I like to keep a tidy & organized email...  so IF you delete annoying messages, now you have no proof.  I'm on the client side but it might make sense to make folders month by month?  Or troublesome clients?  Or?  just let them drop down in your inbox.  
If you are concerned that someone is getting too clingy or attached, you should keep their messages.  You might have to take legal action if you get stalked or harrassed...  & those records are vital to ID the person.  I think it is polite to decline their advances or appointments...  but having made the decision, it's no longer up for debate & it's time to 'go dark' (not reply in any way).  

What part of "flaking and cancelling" don't you understand. Your comment won't hurt your business at all is WRONG  

And my last post, which you QUOTE, amends that a bit.  You really need to read and relax, hh.

and the more you post, the more likely you are to get one wrong. There is no shame in fucking up, even the infallible GaGambler has gotten one or two wrong over the years. lol

Totally agree with this - what I didn't know when starting out is that low rates, for whatever reason, attract both awesome clients and fucking scary, unhinged clients. With my rates raised, I've only had an issue with one client in the last few months, whom I politely asked to leave and he did accordingly.
