I've just been asked for one by a guy I've never heard of in my life - he has a distinctive name and also a given occupation I would remember. I told the provider asking I've no idea who he is.

For the ladies - does this happen very often to you? I'm astonished that someone would even try this, it's so easy to refute.

I've never been ask to give a fake review but I have gotten reference requests for a client that I saw many months or even a couple years ago. I might remember the name but not anything specific. So guys if you are using a provider as a reference, please try to use one that you have seen recently or send an email to jog our memory about the visit we shared.

It has happened to me on several different occasions. I guess some of these guys don't think that we actually screen them.

This has happened to me a few times.  I will never, ever give a reference to another provider unless I am absolutely sure of who the guy is and that I have seen him.  I will never put another provider in danger by giving a fake reference. I have been asked to do this in the past and I'm sure I will be asked again in the future.  the answer will always be no.

He thinks she'll see the names of a few well known providers and will stop there.

Very dangerous.

I've had this happen to me once and I replied to the provider and told her clearly I had no idea who this guy was and no record of him.  I advised her to be careful of somebody trying to use a fake reference.

As stated above, it works for the guys if the ladies don't follow up so once in a while they may get lucky.

Upon further exploration I really do know this man. But name and geographical location were not enough to jog my memory. Since I genuinely am low volume, the mention of the hotel we met and the fact we shared a couple of drinks were enough to do it.

To err is divine? What was that quote? I'm feeling so divine...

I would never jeopardize another providers freedom or well-being either. I couldn't agree with you more.

I have a photographic memory, and I remember EVERY GENT I've ever seen.  I don't know how I do it, I just do.

On more than a few occasions, ladies have contacted me seeking a reference for a gent I have never, ever met.

I always let them know in no uncertain terms that the guy is a liar and to be avoided at all costs.

They do it the first time because they think whore = stupid.  They continue to do it because they've gotten away with it at least once.

Screen if you want, don't if you don't want.  But, one consistency I've seen in girls who get busted is that their screening process was lacking.

For me screening is mandatory, and always will be.
