Which I will cut & paste here : "Without getting specific, I've seen several examples
of providers with beautful pics from different cities getting pages of sterling reviews from established hobbyists with multiple reviews, only to be later revealed that the pics are "bait & switch" & the providers are
"considerably less attractive" than their "fake pics" would suggest.

Since one of the primary features of TER is to steer hobbyists away from ROB's, this leaves me with two questions : WTF is going on & how prevalent IS this ?!"

Gnome, to answer your question about bogus reviews, I have a very good BS detector, acquired through years of experience,which steers me away from shill reviews.

The biggest city in the U.S. is home to some of the biggest most transparent  shills.

do think providers moms are hot and tasty fucks.

Your continued obsession with me is unhealthy, to say the least.

"There are more things in heaven & earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your Philosophy"

Scoed the quote above comes from Shakespeare's "Hamlet"-----if you're unfamiliar with it, I'd advise you pick up the comic book edition---------

Keep seeing one provider that I went to getting 10, 10s and for the life of me, can't figure it out.  She's cool, but her age is so understated and her pics are so photoshopped it pisses me the fuck off.  Her service was nothing great either.  I reviewed her appropriately and some other guys have also.  But recently she's been getting 10 10s, one after the other.  Right before me, too.  Her latest "scores" are better than her earliest, by far, so she must be getting better and better at summoning shills.  I know many of you will shrug and say "ymmv", but this is extreme.  Either I fucked her mother by accident or these other guys are blind.

What tricks do you guys have to avoid multiple shill reviews?

What have you done to make these girls accountable or warn other hobbyists? Have an issue with fake reviews ? Here is how you fix it write honest reviews and the next guy will be warned. I have written a review for every lady I have seen that was less then expected do to the fault of the lady. Plus I often update a ladies profiles when I know of errors, do you?

Please note I am not saying that to be useful TER member you need to review, You can. Just that if you aren't willing to do something real to fix the problems here, you shouldn't complain about them. People that know of B&S and robbers and do nothing but complain are not part of the solution.

I do agree that there is a definite creep in review scores. Plus there is other issues with TER's number system. I personally ignore the numbers all together for the most part and read the the reviews. I know some of the juicy details are bull but that is easier to judge then a number by itself.  

Shill reviews and other fake reviews are a scourge on TER and are all to common. I don't think there is a way to stop all of them. I bet 1 in 3 or less then honest in some way and 1 in 10 are out right fake reviews. The reasons for fake reviews are varied free VIP, discounted sessions, not willing to admit to spending $1000+ on a lousy lay, the need to brag, vindictiveness, financial gain, jealousy, and more.

GnomeSane, to answer your question, First I pay no attention to the numbers. Second I read her whole reviews at least the first 10 or so. I discount any that brag about how many times she had an O or guys that talk about 3 pops in an hour, as these are brag reviews more often then not. Then I discount any review by people that have less then 3 reviews as they lack experience and often are easily impressed. The then PM the reviewers that are left for verification that nothing has change.

Here is a photo, I have no clue who any of them are but it is from LSGmodels.com

I booked a provider that had 10/10 reviews on TER. After nervous anticipation, I met her. Siffice to say that I meet better looking women in the office and that particular day, saw many on the street at lunch time that smoked the provider that I shelled out six Grants to. Waste of my time and money. I was so disgusted that I ended the session after 15 minutes, dressed and got the hell out of there.

I understand that most people think they are hotter than they are. But if a provider sees that her friends are hotter, maybe she is better acting as an agent for her friends and making money that way. At least then customers don't get shilled.

That does not have to be the case. I visit the city you mentioned often for business. It has literally hundreds of drop dead gorgeous young women parading around streets at any given moment. Some probaly do or will provide if the cash and safety incentives are there. An older provider that is tricking unsuspecting men can set up an honest agency and represent women that those men do want to see. By using a well crafted business model and delivering as promised, the elder provider and the younger ones can make all the money they desire.
