I have received the same email (via TER Private Mail) from  "TomD984" supposedly in response to "his" reading a number of my reviews.  Here is the email he usually sends to me:

Nice review.......... if you ever get to Atlantic City I see a great girl Trish,,,,,,,,,, her contact is [email protected]

I have received this enough times, with the exact same wording, to smell a shill.   I don't know if TER has specific policies against such unwelcomed activity; however, the "About Us" part of the TER policy page has this:

This site is here for one single reason: We all work hard for our money and we don’t want to waste it on someone who doesn’t deliver as promised. We are also dedicated to finding those special women who truly enjoy making the time we spend with them something special.  

With the above paragraph in mind, I thought TER staff would agree with my posting of this warning.  I don't have proof that TomD894 is a shill, but I would bet money on it.

I received the same message on a post I did on a California provider.

hoot, I have read your reviews, and congratulate you on your consistency and honesty.  In these times of review inflation, your reviews are a breath of fresh air.  

best regards,

I have received this same e-mail as well.  Like most intelligent people I ignored it, but TER, if possible should do something about it.

Thanks for the report.  This kind of activity is not allowed on TER.  If you recieve spam via private mail, please report it and the user to [email protected].

We will resolve it.
