I've posted a couple of times about what I think are suspicious reviews for Brooke Banks.  This is a claim that has been made by others on this board in the past, and also each time I've posted I've received a number of pm's confirming my suspicions...however, I think all of us who think something is up must be wrong.

The latest 10/10 review from "Koohead" just simply can't be made up.  Sure, he's a new reviewer and this is his first review, but before you jump to any suspicious conclusions just read the review.  I mean, how would it be possible this review could have been fabricated by Brooke?  I mean, it just sounds so sincere.  Really, he just can't say enough good things about her.  Nobody could make this stuff up, it would just really not be possible.  And really, they sound so beautiful together - it simply is not possible Brooke could have created this profile herself and written this review herself.  I know what you might be saying - "hey she's done this in the past under another hobbyist's handle" - but really, this must have been just some honest mistake.  

This review by Koohead really does put everything to rest.  I'm sorry I was ever suspicious about Brooke.

You seriously need to get over your disdain and obsession with Brooke and move on. It will only continue to make you miserable. Not trying to be Doctor Phil here. Perhaps you will get your anticipated reaction and get some cheap thrills from your latest post. Hope you feel better.

and # of reviews posted ?


Is it typical for providers to get a review from every appointment ?

I am really sick and tired of you..You just cannot leave me alone... Koohead( my past client) DID review me back in 2005... I have known him for about 5 years.... His last review of me was back in 2005.. When someone reviews you again.. They take the orignal review down and put the new one up... Would you please just stop harrassing me....You are ridiculous and you just will not leave me in peace.. The more you keep posting about me.. The more of my old clients and New ones are going to want to meet me... I am done trying to defend myself....You really need to find something to do with your time.. Your obsession with me is becoming internet stalking and its very public.. That everyone can see what you are doing.. Every time I get a new review you post on me.... Like you check my status on a daily basis.. This is starting to actually become scary with you... And all members on this board ..hobbiests and providers can see you have a serious obsession with me.. Please stop posting on me every other time I get a new review... Just contact any reviewer ... AND STOP THIS!... You are really starting to scare me!
Brooke

6 on the trollometer.

i dont know the lady and ive never seen her nor would after that thread about the required deposit not being returned. i will concede it was years ago still it makes me wonder
.
having to wonder is good enough for me put her on the DNC list.

However your just being pedantic if you think theres a problem with the review report it and move on. Otherwise you just look like your on a witch hunt.

I have to agree with proman and have to ask just what is your purpose in posting this kind of stuff? It seems as if you're going out of your way to single out and bash this lady..aren't there others on this site to pick on? And I also think it is time you moved on....

I think it depends whether or not the provider asks for reviews. I ask not to be reviewed, but have gotten 2 reviews - although one was fabricated by someone I wouldn't see based on his attitude.

Oh boy...where do I even start.  First of all, I'm real.  If you doubt it, PM me.  I'll be glad to give you my personal email address as well as the domain that I own.  With all your detective skills, you'll be able to do a quick whois search of my domain and see that I am a real person and not Brooke.  I've owned the domain for years.  Secondly, this is actually the 3rd time I've reviewed Brooke.  Since you are doubt that, ask the admins at TER and they'll confirm it.  2004, 2005, and this latest one.  I'll be glad to provide screen shots if you would just contact me directly and provide me an email address.  If you have a concern about the validity of her reviews, contact the admins and have them verify the IP's that they are submitted from, as well as how long the contributors have been members of TER.  

Whatever point you're trying to make you've made countless times already.  We got it.  Its time to just leave the woman and those that choose to write reviews of her alone.  

she's trying to figure out who you are.

Why do you want him to stop if he's just driving you more business ?

I think admin needs to run Koohead's ip address and see how many members have the same one.

Also, it's funny how all your reviewers come on here to defend you but they never post before or since.

You definitely exhibit patterns of behavior that closely resembles that of your reviewers.

Moby, you're wrong... while there was one incident a few years back when she kept someone's deposit, there was also another one just under a year ago.

To all you guys who think he should move on, I think its great you are so forgiving about someone with fake reviews, airbrushed photos, who keeps deposits after canceling sessions, who outs hobbyists real names on the discussion board, who makes threats to any hobbyist that speaks badly about her, who babbles insults against people (both hobbyists and providers alike) when she doesn't even know them.  

I'm glad it doesn't bother you but there's more than one of us here that have a problem with that.

Most of them are too scared to post. Can't blame them.  Sundance is speaking for all of them, not just for himself and I don't think he's obsessed with her at all.. In fact, it's quite obvious he can't stand her and it's quite obvious why.  

Why are you so concerned about brushing the dirt under the rug ?  I thought we were supposed to be helping each other here.  Why would you want to defend someone like that ?  

Brooke this issue is NOT going away.  This issue is NOT resolved and guess what sweety ? Sundance cant really hurt you on the internet.  He can only expose you for the ****** you are.  

How scary indeed.

i had no idea there were two incidents of unreturned deposits. I must have missed that drama somehow.

that tells me all i need know. one possibly could be explained away if the money were returned. two there is no justification for whatsoever.

irregardless of the circumstance thats pure cash and dash via paypal rather than the front door.

Even though you've only posted a few times over the years, (really cute how you were looking for information on breast implants for your "friend" *wink *wink)  you're in my very favorite Brooke Banks thread where she's posting her client's real name and using the same handle as one of her reviewers (bk994) while simultaneously insulting pretty much everybody.


Sundance she was telling the truth... He did review her years ago. ..

Since I just reminded Brooke about that thread a few days ago, I'm wondering if maybe my post didn't inspire her to resurrect one of her Zombie Profiles ????

HMMM ???

If you want to see a real 10, Chrissy Stone is a great choice and she knows how to put her vocal chords to use in a very ENJOYABLE way.  Give her a call, she'll for sure help you get over a traumatic experience.

...is providing reliable reviews on providers.  All of the other stuff doesn't matter, the core value of this site are the reviews.  If hobbyists can't rely on the validity of these reviews then the site is worthless and everybody, hobbyists and provider, loses.

It is a completely appropriate topic for this board when the validity of someone's reviews are questionable.  It is maybe the most appropriate topic.


The fact is that every time I have posted on this topic I receive a number of pm's from hobbyists and providers who confirm there is something suspicious with these reviews - these people I guess don't want to "make waves", but they are clearly out there.  Combine this with the fact that Brooke has posted on this board in the past using the same handle as people who have reviewed her (bk994) and it is completely appropriate to continue to suspect something is up with her reviews.  And that is definitely an appropriate topic for this board.

When someone pops up with another 10/10 review - particularly someone who has never reviewed before (or I guess according to him ONLY reviews Brooke every few years and nobody else) - then that is suspicious and it is completely appropriate for the review to get some scrutiny.

To call my questioning of these reviews internet stalking is laughable - however I can tell you what internet stalking is.  It is when someone threatens to "out" someone publicly using this board, as you did on 2/18/09 when you told 2TM "oh and by the way I know who you are and I will expose you", or as you did on 7/15/2004 when you (under the handle of bk994 - someone who had reviewed you previously) - ranted about someone you had a gripe with and twice referred to him as "Denny Moy***".  That, Brooke, is the definition of internet stalking.

When I first started on TER... I did not know the rules... I had no idea how to even set up my own handle... I found out quickly that you cannot use another handle to post on the discussion boards... This was over 5 years ago... I was suspended from TER ...I explained to them that I did not know that was not allowed... I had to create my own handle ...Looking back .....I laugh that you would bring this up... It was cleared up through TER and they knew exactly what I was doing and it was completely innocent.. But they still suspended me .. Sort of like a warning.... That I needed to learn the rules...And let me back after explaining the situation and that I was new and clueless.... As far as saying someones name on the internet.. Chalk that up to another case of being new to TER and not knowing the rules on what you can and cannot do.. Your bringing back so many things THAT were all cleared up... And I was younger and new to this board.. .I did not know the rules at the time.. There was no fake reviewing then nor is there now... Deposits...You need to know the whole story which you do not.... And why One was kept.. The other returned even though I believe I should not have had to.... Please stop pulling old threads up from when I first started the business... And what was purely me not knowing the rules to a new site I was on... If I didn't know you could not use someone elses handle to post on the discussion board how would I know how to create my own reviews... Please check with all reviewers and TER and stop bringing up things from 6 years ago.. When I was new and apparently very naive to this site....You do not know who I am... And I am sick of defending my reviews and myself with you ...I am not the bad person you are making me out to be... And I know who and what I am... No matter how many times you put me down... bash me.. and try to start trouble with me.... There are always 3 sides to every story... Yours ... Mine.... and the truth... You have a lot of hate in your heart my man... And bashing me and calling me names seems to make you feel better about yourself... I will remain positive and know I am a good person.. You will not succeed in making me feel bad about things that you do not know the whole story and that was cleared up so many years ago....This is sad you are going to these extremes to hurt me..
Brooke

You've been here for years and written 3 reviews...and ALL 3 are for 1 person? And you then come on here and call it personal? I'd call it questionable on a lot of levels. The comments specific to deposits (I pay no deposits ever to see anyone) are what really concern me.

I've never felt any of the gals like Brooke are worth the price of admission, basically its a sign of your own shortcomings to pay that type of coin. Thats not ment as an attack on Brooke or anyone else but an observation that the market niche in question is ego/insecurity driven.

typically in hearsay situations, the more you try to defend your position, the more guilty you appear to be.  

Your heavy defense position regarding your reviews would make me wonder though if sundance and 2tm have some substance regarding your reviews.

Since, I have read her reviews and website...I just may be seeing her someday!

I defend myself...As you say... Because of all the attacks on my character... Bringing up situations just to cause trouble... How would you like it if you were being told you were a fake and a fraud.. I defend myself because I cannot just sit around and watch as you people keep bashing me and tell me that my reviews are fake... I will keep defending myself.. And sooner or later everyone will get some common sense and research all my reviewers and contact them or TER whatever needs to be done... To prove that I actually did indeed earn every last one of my reviews... And I am going to keep defending myself.. Because I know the truth and so do many others... I'm sorry I cannot just watch on the sidelines as more and more trash develops about me... and my reviews... So yes sir.. I will keep defending myself ... Because through all of these years and all of my reviews.....I am proud to have met some really amazing people... So all that keep saying my reviews are fake...Which is impossible... And deep down I know all of you know this... But there is alot of hate and jealousy in the world today... I will keep defending what I know is the truth and if that is the price I have to pay because I get some good reviews... Then so be it... I will keep taking your garbage.. Because strong people like me can handle it.. And I am not going to stop being who I am or defending myself now or ever... I have wrestled with this for the last week as the hate grew stronger .. lost alot of sleep.....Realizing that none of you that are bashing me are worth my well being.. I'm going to continue seeing some great people and continue living my life as the wonderful .... generous... honest person I know that I am... And you can all keep your negativity and your hatred and false assumptions and keep causing trouble... If this makes your day brighter.. Go for it.. I will keep smiling and living my life knowing you were wrong and the man up stairs knows it and so do I...Have A lovely day!

I have never met Brook. (OMG! I'd like to!) All the controvery spurred me to take a very close look at her reviews. I read them all. Carefully. And then, in an obsessive-compulsive fit, I put everything in a spreadsheet and did some simply analysis. All I know is, it sure looks good for her.

I'll grant that you know more about the hobby and the Phx scene than most. Your take on the Brooke is not niave. It is what it is and frankly, no one could fault you for it. With that been said, your comment ---- "basically its a sign of your own shortcomings to pay that type of coin. Thats ... an observation that the market niche in question is ego/insecurity driven" ---- is the biggest load of ego-driven, self-inflating crap I have ever read. What are you thinking, man? I have read your numorous posts and find them often filled with poignant insights. Sometimes I also find that they reveal your feelings of superiority (and occasionally mysoginy.) Your revisionist choice to use the word "observation" --instead of the correct phrase "my personal opinion"-- speaks volumns about what you think about your own thoughts. You have no special knowledge of what may motivate particular men to choose a provider. I have heard persons who disagree with the provider-hobbyists arrangement say that all men who pay women for their time are insecure, ego-driven, etc. Everyone has heard of the phrase "Well I don't have to PAY for it!" Well my friend, that viewpoint is just as benighted as what you have stated here. Let me be clear about something: like your comment "Thats not ment as an attack on Brooke or anyone else", my comments are not meant as an attack on you or anyone else, either. But for you to propose that you have the real low down on why guys choose big ticket providers is one of the most ridiculous things I have ever read on this board. Peace out.

Hey Great_Inamorato...

Way to take it to Excel!  It may piss some people off, but Brooke is worth every review on TER.  How can you argue with results?  The thing is - she grabs you by the head, looks you in the eyes and says "baby, I'm gonna give you a 10/10 experience!"  I, too, had read her reviews prior to meeting her and found some hard to believe, but I loved, absolutely loved my time with her and it was more than I ever expected.  Take your shot now because she may not be around much longer!  Enjoy, and in the meantime - dream!
