Called a provider who has had website up for several mos, but never any reviews. Should I worry? Seems strange - should I be leary?

Good question. Yes you should at least be a little cautious. Go to the Discussion Board for the area she is in and post a message asking if anyone had seen her, with a link to her site. You will get either lots of comments on her site, which means she is just new and no one has seen her. Or someone will let you know what she is like.

If she has no TER reviews she may have requested to take them down. Some of the ladies do not like TER's detailed reviews or have an in at another board and don't want to lose their connection. So no reviews is not necessarily bad but does deserve checking out first.

When in doubt, check out established web sites and reviews.  You are spending you hard earned money and should get what you like.

e mail her or call her and see if things jive if not don't worry about it .... there are 1000's to choose from ... move on ....
