There is little that can be done.
I believe that the top 100 provider list is a goal for some providers and I do believe there are a lot of fake 10/10 reviews that are either self reviews or hobbyists are brow beaten to post them. Of course, money is the main motivating factor for fake reviews and always will be.

and hope that TER can investigate and take some action.

I agree that it is very unfair to both providers and the unsuspecting clients who do see her based on bogus reviews.

Prospective clients should always look at the review history of each reviewer before deciding how much creedance to give that particular review's reveiw.  If it is their only review, then you have every right to be skeptical about its veracity.

Still learning the ropes so to speak as I have only been doing this for a year . Just about to shed the " newbie " title I think.
I just recently scheduled with a provider I had previously seen and she asked me to open a new screen name and write a review , as none are " recent ". I learned from that and moved on to another lady - thinking with the big head for a change
First lesson is I really did'nt think it mattered as to the frequency of steady reviews . After some thought , I can see the providers point of  view on that .
So that then got me looking a little deeper into this . When I see a review fron a guy that only has ONE review, and it just "reads" funny , I can see the light , and will NOT ever schedule that provider -INSTANT DISQUALIFICATION !!!!
Reads funny = I saw one where the lady was given a pretty bad review  The guy had about 9 reviews , so he had some "cred " in my book . He gave her a 9 in looks - kinda hints at some honesty , and he was very happy with her beauty . Performance was just horrible !   The next review on her was by a guy with , you guessed it , ONE review . So I read it...........The wording used,  attacked EVERY one of the previous guys negative claims , and was just SCREAMING in the way it was worded . It simply went down the list of negative comments one by one and  disputed them !!  So I then just really looked at its wording and overall literary structure.....................It was written by a WOMAN.!!!!Men don'tt phrase sentences and thoughts about sex the same as a woman does .
Yes , I do agreed this goes on a lot and mainly it is the man actually doing this , but this one was obviously written by a woman .
Looked around with this new knowledge of this practice , and a lot became crystal clear !!!

Do I have a solution ....How about a system thru TER that when a new client contacts you , then you ( as a provider ) have the ability to send him the link to your reviews with VIP access for ONLY YOU and your reviews . IF i actually asked for this info and exclusive VIP acess AND you don't want to send it to me ..........RED FLAG ALERT !!!!!

Is it fair .....Nope , sorry .
"You may say that it's none of my business, but I don't feel that it's fair " - It's 100% your buisness , so I disagree with that statement !
Please have faith that not all of us men are idiots and don't  see this going on . Since you don't have that issue in your reviews , you move to the front of the line in my book .
Honesty is still the best policy !

Who has time or energy to mind someone elses business. I don't mean to be rude here
but,, I really don't understand.. who has time to go searching other ladies reviews and why would you?

I will from time to time look at a another ladies website and pics. just to see what is out there and while I may not agree with her taste or the way she runs her business it is HER business and at the end of the day. YOUR own reputation will stand for itself.. If well all spend time managing our own lives and business we would be much better off...........

Again, I am not trying to be rude here but I don't see what you gain from it?

TER should implement a reliabilty rating that incorporates a weighted average based on the number of reviews the reviewer has posted. For instance,  the rating could be calculated by dividing the number of reviews submitted by the reviewer by 100, adding all the individual reliabilty ratings together and dividing by the number of reviews. In essence, a weighted average of the expereience level of the reviewers.

Example 1:

Reviewer 1 has 9 reviews = .09 reliability
Reviewer 2 has 20 reviews = .2 reliability
Reviewer 3 has 1 reviews = .01 reliability

Reliability rating = .13

Example 29:

Reviewer 1 has 1 reviews = .01 reliability
Reviewer 2 has 1 reviews = .01 reliability
Reviewer 3 has 1 reviews = .01 reliability

Reliability rating = .01

It's a simple way to overcome shill reviews and account positively for the obvious experience of the reviewer.
