I have also received a fake review. It was not a "bad" review, but it was completely false & I did not see this person. He also said he was able to break me down into doing a 1 hour appointment for $125. It has resulted in me being harassed by a lot of idiots who keep trying to break me down & make me give them that same rate. Sure, I can ignore them, which I do, but that doesn't make a lot of them stop. I've contacted the member, as TER told me too, and received no response. After speaking with TER, the summary is- if the appointment had happened, but he lied about WHAT happened, they would delete it (if I gave them all the information about the appointment. his number, when and where it took place, etc) but because he is saying it happened, and I am saying it didn't happen, it's his word against mine.
It's horrible because in reality, I was a victim of an attack in September that left me with broken bones, and I didn't see clients for September & October. No ads posted, no e-mails responded to, nothing. It's horrible that these fake, bogus reviews get thrown up & us gals are the ones who have to put up with what follows. Which is exactly why I cannot stand the free vip for review deal, but I promise I won't take over your rant with my own.
In regards to your second rant, guys are assholes. Sure, not all guys...but in our profession, we are more likely to encounter the assholes than your average girl. It all boils down to LOSERS with nothing better to do than look through ads and harass us. I have one guy who contacts me off different numbers every day and tells me that because I'm a white girl with a big ass, he will never have a chance with me because I prefer black guys. Well, he doesn't say it in those terms but I like to think I have a little more home training than he does, so I'd prefer not to repeat exactly what was said. I completely sympathize with what you're feeling, and I wish I could offer some insight into this but I'm feeling just as annoyed/fed up as you are with these guys.
Sending good vibes your way Caramel,
it's tough being a provider & we all have to stick together.
