I’m getting tired of the gang of rip-off artists openly advertising in the Washington area.  There appears to be an organized gang of women who steal money from men until they receive a bad review on TER; then they change their name and continue to operate.

I recently reviewed Shelby, provider id 195823, rating her 3/2. I could not rate her performance 1 only because I gave her no money.  I later found a previous review 178573 in which both reviewers rated her 4/1.

So what happened after I reviewed her?  NOTHING!!!  The next day, Shelby changed her name to Shelbee, her phone number from 276-601-1533 to 276-378-7319, and her email from AllAmericanHottie  @  ymail.com to AllAmericanHottie1 at YMail (BIG CHANGE THERE, RIGHT? ).  Other than these insignificant changes, her ad on Eros is absolutely identical.

This is NOT an isolated problem.  I have noticed it for a long time.  Of the 203 ads presently posted on EROS, Jessika (nee Jessica), Brittany, Jolene, Ashlei, (nee Ashley), Allysen (nee Allison), Priya, Suzie, Destanee (nee Destiny), Genny, Danica, Shannon, Veronika (nee Veronica), Aneesha (nee Anisha), Sydney, Jayne (nee Jane),  Vashtee (nee Vasthi), Shelbee (nee Sherry, nee Sherri), Brandee (nee Brandy), Simone, Debra, Reece (nee Reese), Savhanna (nee Savana), Francine, and Leanne are all fradulent.  That’s 24 bogus ads out of 203!  That’s 1 in 8 ads is fradulent.

Reading their reviews, these women have the same modus operandi:  
1. Arrive late-usually it’s not the woman shown in the ad, but someone similar,
2. Get the money,
3. Sometimes she calls the agency with the client’s name and address from his driver’s license,
4. Ask the client to sign a paper saying that no sexual activity will take place or tell the client that no sexual activity is permitted,
5. If needed, threaten the client, and
6. Leave early.

When a client has the courage to write a bad review, the pseudo escort simply changes her name as Sherry ( nee Sherri) changed her name to Shelby (above).

This problem is not limited to EROS.  I have counted 44 fradulent ads on CityVibe since mid-February.  Some of the women appear to change from Eros to CityVibe and back.  They advertise on other web site, but I have not tracked them elsewhere.  This must be a highly organized effort.  They appear to be mostly outcall offers, but occasionally they offer in call.  And who watches the TER website to instantaneously change their public identity for so many women?  This is well organized!

I suspect that most men, after being ripped-off, prefer to say nothing, rather than appear foolish.  I disagree.

But I propose that TER permit reviews to either:

Submit a second review for a provider if he knows that she has simply changed her name and addresses on a web site, or

TER should revise the review process to permit multiple names and addresses for each provider ID.  TER would permit a reviewer to later add an additional name and address if the reviewer is sure that the pseudo escort has simply changed her identity.

Do you agree?

Hate those bait and switch type... They should be put in jail for doing fake business.

When outcall providers are reliably identified as ripoffs, I'm surprised guys with burner phones don't have them running around to every hotel in the city, looking to meet up with a non-existent client.

LOLZ....that is actually a brilliant idea!  Time to start scouring TER for bad reviews so I can make an appointment

Interesting Idea!

a shill review of a ripoff. I posted my concerns on another board. Basically, the first reviewer stated that she was a ripoff. I am very familiar with this girl, and she was a rip off. Then, this other guy wrote her a fake review, which will mislead clients. That is a problem in it self right there.

They tend to clutter up those ad sites like annoying commercials, don't they? Since they generate income for these sites, the termites aren't going away--never. They're not unlike the junk mail that goes through our postal system. Junk mail helps to defray operating costs.

With just a little experience, these termites are easy to spot, so I just avoid them entirely. Scrolling them off my screen when I see them is my method of retaliation. It's almost like hitting the mute button on my television. Every now and then, it is fun to occasionally send one a lewd e-mail, if she has one: "You are so gorgeous, I would love to give it to you right in the $#%@*&."

Be thankful for the TER and the Internet. The TER gives us a fighting chance against the termites. Before they came along, you had to take your chances with the ads in the back of local newspapers and magazines.

Would regularly publishing a list of frauds on this web site be of any use?  I currently have a list of 25 fraudulent advertisements for Eros and 44 fraudulent advertisements from BackPage (Sorry, I incorrectly identified CityVibe as the sources of the ads.)
