Hey DC,

I had an odd appointment tonight, most certainly bait and switch.  There were some clues I should have paid more attention to, but didn't.  I've been at this less than a year so I still consider myself a novice, and I sometimes can't distinguish between what might be warning signs and what might be just the individual peculiarities of the various agency and independent protocols (I've learned there are many).

The first thing that should have tipped me was I called a number I've never used before, asked about this girl's availability tonight, and was given the street address straight up.  I asked if they wanted any of my verification info and they just said it wasn't necessary (my phone number must be in the freakin' international hobbyist database).  The number I called was a local NOVA number but it could have been redirected who knows where.  So that's pretty weird, I think.  I was guessing that the request for my verification info would come a bit later in the process tonight, but it never did.

I called again on my way to the appointment as it would take a little while to get there, just to double-check on the status.  We were still on and no further inquiry into my identity.

I called again when I got to the private (sort of) incall.  Appointments at apartments.  Beautiful evening, folks sitting on their balconies chillin', watching me go to my appointment...  Got the details and went in.

I must have been aware of the deception fairly early on, but the lady who greeted me from behind the door was attractive enough, so I took my chances (I do understand that at this point, not having turned around and left, all bets were off).  I often don't trust my ability to recognize the person from photos, but having gone back and looked at the photos afterward, no way that was her, not even close.  

The appointment itself was unremarkable, really.  I'd have to describe it as fairly clinical and emotionally detached, mechanical maybe.  Most definitely not GFE as advertised.  None of it anything like what was in the reviews, even with a large dose of YMMV thrown in.  Definitely not a repeat.

I nearly never scout the backpage ads; I've just heard so much bad stuff.  But tonight I was browsing and found this hot looking provider visiting from another city.  She had a hyperlink to "her" reviews on TER.  I read the reviews and was sufficiently impressed to give it a go; several 8s and 9s in her TER performance reviews.  She had an out-of-town number and a local number in her ad and they both matched the info on her TER profile.  I would not have gone for it without the TER reviews and the correlated phone information.

Anyway, the girl was certainly not as advertised.  She was also not as physically described by other reviewers nor as represented by her photos (going back to her TER profile I now see where the field for Real Photo says "No"; I'll pay closer attention to that next time).  I feel like if I review the appointment I won't be reviewing the girl represented in the TER profile nor in the backpage ad.  Yet I also feel like this was in part her agency's doing (I'm presuming agency; I don't really know); it was they (or she herself?) who represented this individual and she perpetuated the ruse by claiming the identity.  I suppose it's possible, maybe likely, the girl found someone else's photos and TER reviews she liked and just jacked them.  People don't really do that, do they?  

I'd like to have the extra 15 days VIP for doing the review, but I'm not sure it wouldn't dilute the review history for the actual person represented in the TER profile linked to in the backpage ad.  Or is this the actual person and does the review history need a dose of reality?  I'm inclined to just blow it off and move on, but it seems the agency (or the girl?) affiliated with the backpage ad is getting away with too much deception.

What would you do?  Review or no review?
