Really don't know where to begin. But I'll try, first thing if you haven't read the "self help center" read it!Upper right corner near the life preserver.  Next read back many pages of this board, most if not all newb questions have been answered before

You need to see providers who have TER reviews! If they're not reviewed don't see them! In order to get the most out of the reviews you need to be a VIP member, it's well worth it!

You're shopping in the wrong place.  I don't know where you're located but  if you look toward the top of the screen you'll see in blue letters "Regional ad board", click on it, us the drop down window to find the city you're in.  If it's not listed use the closest one.  Most if not all the ladies who advertise on this board are well reviewed.  There's a lot more, but this is enough info for you to get started. Good luck

Hello,Im new to this board.
I work on the road alot and recently found backpage.
two jobs ago I used it to contact 4 providers.(5 if you count the one girl I called
back two more times and went with the 2 girl special)
all of these meetings went very well,I got just what I wanted,prices ranged from 140-200.
the next town I worked in there were no listings in backpage,oh well.
so I come home for the holidays,and there are not to many listings,most dont list phone #s
and it makes me a little nervous.I do find a very hot looking girl with a phone # and decide to call.
she says 180 for an hour and tips are appriciated.when she shows up she has her girlfriend with her
and says you get the 2 girl special,so I thought I was lucky,than I got undressed,they pulled up their tops,she asked for the 180,than she asked what I had to tip.I didnt have a whole lot of cash left on me 100 or so,they both gave me blow jobs for a while,than I asked her if she was gona take her pants off?she said full service is $1000.
WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!
how does 180 go to 1000 and how do you avoid this?
I was pretty pissed off paying that much for 10 min of blowjob and 15 min of hand job,when what I wanted was some pussy!
it turns out the one girl is an adult film star,she wrote down her name and I looked it up.
not someone I had heard of before looking her up.
but I dont need to run into this shit,I just wanted a nice looking girl to come over and have sex with me for the price we talked about.
any advice on this?
Thanks
(by the way,whats up with this verification code?I can only read it like 5% of the time)

I am sorry that you got ripped off but I think that you need to make sure that full GFE service is offered in the rate.  It is always helpful if they have a website because usually that will explain what services they offer.  

Additionally, just because a provider doesnt have their phone number up there, doesnt mean they are not a legitimate provider.  For example, I choose not to have my phone number out there and I provide it once verification has been completed.  I do not want my phone ringing at all hours of the night.  I also meet people by appt only so this eliminates people calling me and expecting me to be there in an hour.

Where did you see that?  Never seen one on this site.

But he paid $280 for his last session and got nothing more than a handjob and blowjob. That amount would have gotten him the full deal with some of the reviewed ladies on his regional board.

The poster's experience is the very reason why Backpage ads should be highly scrutinized and verified before a cent is spent. Once the ripoffs there see that they can't earn any money, Backpage ads will get taken over by the legitimate ladies that are now swamped by the fakes in that forum.

Get VIP membership, read the Self Help Manual and then you'll be in the driver's seat.

No more upselling and similar BS that was standard before the internet came along to give the upper hand to the good providers and clients.

Given how well you had been doing till this situation came up you should feel glad that  you avoided a real bad situation, like a cash and dash or worse.

Welcome to TER:  The best is now yet to come.  (Pun very much intended!)

His luck ran out. On Backpage and other escort malls, he could go through another ten bad experiences before finding a diamond. Why tolerate those odds? Why spend $1,800 or more before getting a good session of sex? The phonies advertising on escort malls must be driven out of those places, the surest way to do that is not do business with them.

Reading reviews is the best way to avoid getting ripped off.  If you see providers without reviews, you will eventually run into a bad one.  

I've had good luck with BP and CV, but they aren't known for being reliable places to find a good provider.  I expect that most experienced hobbyists think you should be ecstatic at your record of good to bad experiences with your search methods and budget, though I don't have enough experience to personally attest to the reliability of good experiences there.  It's worked well for me so far, knocking on wood that my record holds.

Just checked, you have no approved reviews up.

If you start reviewing the girls you see, you'll help other hobbyists find the good ones and avoid the bad ones.  We all review, and the bad ones get less business as a result, average quality will go up.

I almost never put my phone number on BackPage, although it can be found elsewhere.  This is because, although BP does have some quality guys on it (such as yourself presumably), it also has many more game players (providers and hobbyists alike) than the other site I advertise on.  Not putting my phone number in a BP ad means that potential clients have to take a few extra steps (go to my website and/or email) which indicates that they have more serious interest in seeing me, and that significantly cuts down on BS.

Classic example:  I'm in Vegas right now, and this week I have had my phone number on my BP ad because Vegas is less of a plan-in-advance-town, and more of a 'I want it now' town.  Of the people who have called in response to my BP ad, I have had 3 NCNS - guys who said they were on their way "now," and yet never showed up - and two who were actually surprised that I would not accept $50 or $80 (my ad specifically states a "Holidays Special" rate of $200); those 5 callers account for almost 50% of my BP call responses.  And yet ALL of the guys who responded to my TER, P411 and dog site ads have shown up and behaved well, as have the guys who emailed in response to my BP ad.  It is ONLY the BP callers that have been a problem.  

So I'm just saying, don't take it as a bad sign if a provider does not put her phone number on BP - there are definite reasons why.  I would even submit that those girls may have MORE credibility than the others, although I'm sure some hobbyists here may dispute that.
