I may be way behind the curve on this, but has anyone else given any serious thought to this problem.  We all know the benefits of TER.  Undisputed.  And I'd say it's also undisputed that planted reviews totally defeat the purpose.

For me, the telltale markers are:  (1) provider only has 1 or 2 reviews; (2) usually short; (3) sales pitchy language ("returns calls quickly" "easy to get ahold of"); this one I love -- "looks better than her pictures"; (4) the girl always DFKs; (5) the girl ALWAYS comes.

For a good example of the above, and a good laugh, check out Chipmunk01's review of Bailey McCoy in Los Angeles, then take a look at R3's review of Madison (also LA).  Hmmm, somebody's doing a lot of cutting and pasting.  Bailey and Madison may both be great providers -- I've never seen either -- but if they are, then they don't need planted posts.

If you know of any other for-sure plants, let us all know about them.

Since I'm in favor of upfront behavior on both sides, I also think the girls should have a place where they can share info about clients that don't play straight.
