As with any advertising, the medium that someone advertises on is not the problem, it is the one doing the advertising. There are quite a lot of well reviewed and respectable ladies advertising on Eros.

I am sure there are a lot of legit providers advertising there as well that don't have TER reviews. TER is a great site to help with your research, but don't let that confuse you into thinking that if they don't have any reviews on TER that they are fake.

Personally I look for a well reviewed TER provider, but then I am not the TOFTT type

Research the phone number on google, look in TER or one of the other or even all the other review sites. Look for the provider on the verification sites such as rs2k or datecheck or mfp or p411.

A quick look on google for her phone number brings up LK Referals ...

Since her ad states she is independent, then yes I would say it is a fake ad, or at the very least very fishy and I would just move on to the next one.

About Eros, City Vibe and even Craig's List is that all they do is accept ads. There is no verification done. Some girls are real, some are fake, some are available but use fake pictures.

Not every guy out there knows about TER or writes reviews. The worlds oldest profession existed long before the internet did and, as great as this site is, I'd be willing to bet that a vast majority of men who hobby may have never heard of it. When you google "escorts" Eros, City Vibe and many escort mall and agency listings come up way before TER does...

What does it all mean? Ultimately you, the consumer, have to decide if it is worth the risk.  I have relied on TER since I discovered the site three or four years ago. There are a lot of un-reviewed gals who look great in those Eros ads too but there more beautiful REVIEWED women on the pages of TER than I will ever have time to see so I seldom take a chance on a lady with no TER reviews.

90% of the women you see should be in this biz to win it.... translation: they love to fuck and the $ is a by product of all the loving they get, and oh, it pays the bills. The ten percent factor is when you are up late at night and you see her in the catalog and you have to have her types... Dude, LA is all about fantasy, right? I mean unless you are dealing with indies, the girl behind door number 1 might even be a guy. I NEVER call agencies anymore when I travel to the coast... done it and while I've gotten decent looking ladies, the session was usually average, no better.

Is by looking at the link.  For example it reads like this http://www.eros-la.com/files/la-entone1-cassie1.htm
Notice the entone1 before the cassie1.  If it was a sole account it would read cassie1 and then cassie1 again.  The entone is usually a sign of agency.  But it's not always entone.  Usually it's another name there, but either way they should both match.  So, when you are searching around the Eros ads, keep that in mind.  

Also when I googled the number, this is what I came up with.  Lk Referral Services - Los Angeles, CA 90001 - Reviews: Entertainers  Hope this helps.

My technique is to use Eros to find the girl I want.  Then I check their phone number or email address through the "Search Reviews" page here.  If everything checks out, then I make the appointment.

That said, two of my best experiences included TOFTT when there were no TER reviews.  That's not something I recommend however.

Re: How legit are these popular websites?

With Eros "Be afraid very afraid"!!! I've seen some gals here in Houston that were/are on Eros site and for the most part either they are "rip offs" completely (have experienced that too) or GFE wanta be's that provide little in the way of service and still charge as much or more $$$$ than the really good providers that are out there and of course on our (thank God for) the TER site here!!! I have found one or two good ones that were on Eros but only, when I also found good reviews on them from TER here. So, unless you want to run the risk of blowing a lot of cash $$$$ for not too much, I'd avoid the Eros site!?

Happy Hobbying for 2008!

Eros is home to most of the very high-priced indie ladies. Those type generally don't want reviews on a public site because they cater to a distinguished clientelle. No reviews doesn't always mean something ominous.

The easiest way to spot a fake ad is:

super slick/glossy pics with a steamy description that alludes to modeling, etc with no actual info to back up the claim, a phone number but no email or website. Usually googling the number will come up with other ads.

The malls that post the ads, however are required by law to obtain a mailing address, a copy of the girl's ID and other info. If a picture looks too different from the ID it will be rejected as fake. All the info is kept in a database that certain branches of law enforcement can access anytime. This is all info that's available online, and you can easily find out by reading the 2257 laws. Even though these laws have been repealed, they are still widely in use.

Sorry for the disorganized manner in which this is posted.
