I relate! Somebody took an old website of mine...not exactly copied it, but you could see exactly where she got the idea. The layout had been very unique and it's unlikely that someone in my same geographical area, around the same time, would come up with that herself... It went up not too long after I had to take mine down due to a stalker problem. She boasted (here) about how original it was. Well, it was original...just not HER originality, LOL. I took some satisfaction in the fact that it wasn't as nice as mine (IMO).

Never had my bio copied, but I've seen my FAQ's basically copied and pasted to the letter.  

The first instance annoyed me the most, because I worked damn hard on that thing.

a lady who obviously copies another ladies ads, website, pictures, "brand", unique wording in ads...etc?
I am wondering if it is:
1)Eh - who cares I donnot care
2)If I know who the originator is, then I would care enough to let her know there is a copycat
3) I would care, if they are already being dishonest/uncreative/deceptive etc from the beginning - I would wonder what else could be "fake"

Just wondering...:)

but if her reviews are good, and I find her attractive, I have to confess I don't spend much time dwelling about how she advertizes. Advertizing, web site design, etc just aren't that important to me. How hot she is, and her performance BCD is much more relevant IMO.

I know this isn't the answer you were hoping for, and I am sure the mangina crowd will claim that they won't see a woman who is so dishonest, but I am rather shallow in matters such as this, It's all about how she is with me that counts.

After rereading my post, I realize how shallow I must sound, but it's the truth, so I stand by it, even though maybe I should be a "better person" lol

I agree, spare us the BS and Drama........we are here for your pussy!

GaG doesn't have a pussy  LOL

And I like the BS and drama  ;)

One of The Dungbeetle's multiple personalities.  Presumably he re-emerges when Dungy feels the need to prove he's not a complete and total mangina.
Also, GaGa doesn't have "a pussy," he has multiple pussies, often attached to Latinas

FIDIOT was running away with the SPOTY, and Dungy's tough guy act is as stupid and lame as anything ever posted on this board, so I encouraged him to try it one more time as a last ditch effort to win the SPOTY.

... then I have to admit that I'm much more interested in the tone of the advertisement than I am in the source of the content.  By that I mean that I try to figure out if the photos are real or not and then try to determine if this is the kind of provider that I want to spend my time and money on.

I wouldn't want someone using my ad.

I've seen the movie "Single White Female" and if a Provider isn't original enough to create her own ad then maybe she should spend some time being mentored.

There are a few website designers that specialize in escort ads.  They have "canned" styles a lady can choose from.  So there are a ton of escort ad sites that all have a similar look and feel.  The ad copy is also canned, so there are huge similarities in the text descriptions, sometimes word for word.  For privacy, I know lots of ladies use stock photos that are "representative" of what they look like, so dad or boyfriend doesn't find out what they're up to.

Consequently, the websites ladies have for themselves are not that big of a deal for me.  I just look to see rates and contact info and TER reviews/profiles for the rest.

On the other hand, if a lady is skilled with web design and has created her own unique site, putting hours of work into it, only to have that ripped off and only a name change is added,  yeah I have a problem, with that.

So if you want to be taken seriously you'll need to show many of the guys that you not only attended a private prep school...but also have several degrees from Ivy League colleges.

And of course you are now working on your various PhD's.

Then if some other hooker wants to steal that...well, plenty still do steal that shit  LOL

I echo what GaG posted above....I don't really give a shit about the drivel on any website.  And easy enough to verify pics.  A few back channel emails confirm that the gal is who she claims to be.  Maybe even a review here as well...depending on who wrote it  ;)

Why in the fuck would someone want to steal your profile?  Seems odd given what's out there.

and I have to agree, not much there to steal. I don't seem a thing that's unique or original. Or particularly inviting to tell the truth.

Maybe she is posting for a "friend"??? because she can't possibly have anyone wanting to copy anything off of her site. I don't see anything on there that couldn't have been done in an hour or two.

I don't normally go out of my way to bash anyone for their site, but once you put yourself out there on a public board, you don't always get the responses you are hoping for.

would never see her no matter how good her (probably fake) review scores were

If I find out ahead of time the pictures aren't her, I will pass.

I usually do a fair amount of research, so this hasn't been a problem for me so far.

As far as using someone else's profile, that's just lazy. Again, I would avoid her, but unless I knew ahead of time, not much I could do.

I have seen posts where these gals get "outed" and I would never see one of them, usually BP ads.

But if she is smoking hot, swallows, and eagerly goes to Greece for 400 or less I'll overlook it.

I research providers using their websites. I look at the photos. I read some of the copy, but it's usually flowery drivel. I look at her reviews.

If I knew that the website was copied, I'd never book with her, as I see that as obviously dishonest. I also wouldn't know what she looked like.

If I didn't know the website was copied, but got to the incall and she didn't look like the photos, I might leave. Even if I didn't leave, and even if she was hot, the fact that she'd used fake photos would probably bug me through the session.

It's a rotten way to run a business.

I know ladies who spend a lot of time constructing sites, or spend money having them done for them. Marketing can be hugely important and the work they put in should be respected

If I know the lady I will definitely tell her, especially if it's a blatant effort to copy a specific style or characteristic of the lady I know

...If someone is using pictures that are of someone else that's a problem!

The rest of it is just so much noise. If I noticed that something looked like another provider's website I'd probably think it was what many of them used. It would have to be really unique for me to notice that it came from one specific provider's web site.

This has happened to me.  People lack brains & originality so steal from someone else and I would think that if they cannot present an ad of their own, they are offering a whole lotta nothing worthwhile!

when a "lady" does copycat. I have had it happen to me (my entire website once which is funny since it is a template easily obtained - you just edit it to your liking) and I have noticed lately an uptick in complaints from other ladies about the "Plagerism".
It appears that for the most part- this practice goes unchallenged and therefore the instances will probably increase.
Thank you for satisfying my curiosity!  

ps. I am just a  peon with a BAS - no PHD's her

And a lack of creativity on the copier.  Any other thoughts would be on case by case as to what it appears the second person is trying.  If it looks like attempting to be fake by using the first provider's pics, then it's trash.  If copying poses and write up, again, it's a compliment.  I do like originality more.

I am sure some drama kings with lots of time on their hands may but others don’t have the time because they have to work to make money to hobby!
