I’m pretty new to this. I’ve seen a couple of girls, but after hearing about the sting in Dunwoody, and just generally being cautious, I’d love to hear some of you girls and guys recommendations on how to find safe providers. I know TER has reviews, but if cop lbs were trying to catch Johns, woukdnt they put up a bunch of fake reviews? So here’s a few things I’ve got questions about…  

-Does TER allow providers to delete their reviews? I’m asking because if a John found out that a girl on here was fake and posted that in a review, could they just delete the review and leave the fake reviews up if it was really a cop?
- what are some things I should look for on a T ER provider’s profile that would tell me she’s either real or fake? If there is a link to her personal website, is that a pretty good indication that she’s real? Again, it seems like that if the cops really wanted to catch somebody, they could just create a fake review and a fake website and really dupe us! Are there any other ways to tell if a girl is legit?
-Is  safer to go through an agency? And then to look up the girls within the agency on TER and look at their reviews? If so, what agencies around Atlanta do you guys recommend?

These two together are great tools for finding amazing women. Your risk of LE is so small that it's practically nonexistent.

you a good understanding of how TER works.

Once you read a few pages here on the Newbie Board you will see the advice for newbies is to see well reviewed providers only.

The reason is, LE doesn't need to go through all the hassle of putting up phony reviews - it's so easy for them to just rent a room at the local Dew Drop Inn, put an ad up on BP, and then pick off johns like fish in a barrel.

 
One thing you can always count on is the LE is lazy, and they go for the low hanging fruit.  

 
In the 13 years I've been a TER reader, I do not recall any cases of guys reporting a bust from a well reviewed gal, except for one or two cases where a gal flipped and worked with LE after getting busted herself.   That is very rare, however.

Providers can't delete individual reviews themselves. I *believe* if a provider gets a fake review and can provide some sort of evidence that it's fake, they can petition TER to remove it, but it's at TER's discretion. Providers can also de-list, which would remove ALL their reviews (and their entire profile.)Look at the number of reviews and the review history of the reviewers. A provider with one review from someone who has no other reviews is going to be a much greater risk than a provider with multiple reviews from reviewers who have written multiple reviews for other providers. Also there are a lot of trusted agencies so even if a provider doesn't have reviews yet, if she's listed with a trusted agency that is a good sign she's legit.Agencies are a very safe way to go (assuming they're reputable/well-established)

...with fake websites and fake reviews in order to make the fake (cop) profiles seem legit in order to lure hobbyists.  That's too much work for those donut-munching morons.  I've never heard of that being done, and a good argument could be made that it would be entrapment.  In her profile, she is listing what she will do and for how much.  In stings, undercover cops always ask the trick what are they looking for and how much are they willing to pay.  Cops never put out the idea of exchanging sex for money -- they let the tricks mention it first.

Also, look at the reviewers who previously reviewed the provider.  Do they have several white lists from OTHER providers?  If so, then those reviewers are legit.  Cops are not going to create multiple fake profiles in order to white list multiple cop hobbyists to make them look legitimate.  And cop hobbyists aren't going to fuck real providers in order to possibly get white listed to give themselves the patina of legitimacy.
