    Default Should I buy a TER membership?

    So I have my three reviews on TER, and also I've just gone down my list of guys by email and white listed almost all of them who had profiles on there.

    My question is-- as a travelling girl, is it worth buying the TER membership? I've gotten one future appointment off of there (waiting to get to that town but he seems legit.) What are your experiences?

    You don't need to buy a membership on terb, if you have 2 or more reviews under your name, you contact the admin and they will give you access to your juicy details and then your allowed to post once a week in any of the cities you will be working in.

    I don't remember has to get provider access on there.

    TER
    You ladies do realise they get raided alot.
    Reviews are just written affidavits for the cops to use against you in a court of law.
    Regulars will all want a price break or a freebie for writting a glowing review.

    For something that is supposed to be secret and hidden. Writting reviews and details about an illegal act in most states seems STUPID to me.

    Just my opinion. Asking you to think about the reprecussions.

    Smooches,
    Sam

    I used them for awhile. We all know about the owner drama.

    I have friends that have been in this business 15 years and still use them.

    I don't care for the politics. The site can make you a thousandaire overnight.

    They're a nationwide review board. When I tour, I get business from there a lot and I've never had a problem with one of their members. Screening will keep you from getting busted. EVERY escort review site had LE on it especially ECCIE but ladies still use it. You just have to be careful.

    You are talking completely out of your ass.

    TER doesn't "get raided alot". WTF is that supposed to mean anyway? Yes Elms' issues and others are easy to research on the net, but you're giving the impression that cops just go to TER's offices all the time? That's just plain silly. Which jurisdiction, exactly, "raids" TER "a lot"...? TER's servers aren't in the U.S. by the way.

    Sure, if some DA reaaaallllllyyyy wanted to throw the book at you, reviews could be used against you. BUT... in most areas prostitution is a misdemeanor, which in most cases means the crime must be witnessed by the officer (a sting, for example) in order to get a conviction. Only in the rarest cases will a DA bother to reasearch and print reviews for a misdemeanor case, esp since the reviews cannot be proven to be true (no witness, and they do not qualify as "affidavits").

    It is only the very rare, "bad" client who asks for a discount/freebie in exchange for a review and those men are quickly blacklisted (and often banned from TER). Such behavior is not common from clients in the mid-range to high-end.

    Sure escorting is illicit, but review sites are very, very good for business.

    As for the OP's questions. I think buying VIP is worthwhile (for me). You can have your reviews linked to your username on TER and then you will have "limited" VIP access. Try that out for a while and then decide if $20/mo is worth it to you for full VIP.

    Exactly! I love it when we have women on the board that know exactly what they're talking about!

    I read the OP too fast. I see that you've whitelisted some gents, so you must already have limited VIP.

    My TER profile is usually the #1 referrer to my website each day, week & month. Not all guys will tell you they read TER, so you may not really know how many gents find you through TER or look at your profile there.

    Personally, I like having all the features of the site available, including reading reviews, so I pay for VIP. Lots of ladies don't though.

    Oh my, TER owner was arrested many times.
    He did blackmail many of the escorts into freebies.

    Guess you ladies have NOT done your research.

    Cops don't go after the guys. They go after the girls. You get enough arrest is does become a felony. Now, try to rent an apartment with prostitution arrest.

    Escorting is illegal. Plain & simple. More there is written on those boards the more you becom target for the LE.

    The Big Doggie was a board way before TER. They did bust many many girls. I know. I worked for an agency in Miami. Bust went down in Tampa/orlando area. The agency I worked for house did get raided & all the computers seized & never returned. Thankfully, they had nothing incrimnating on them.

    I quit after that.

    But all those reviews were used against many girls. NONE of the guys got into trouble.

    But live in denial all you want.

    No we have done our research.

    We just think it's funny because you THINK we do not know all this.

    LE/COPS are on every single escort board. That is the way I look at it. To think otherwise is just plain stupid.

    Escorting is not illegal, Prostitution is.

    We all know about the original owner of TER being arrested for rape and harassment. That is why some ladies choose not to affiliate themselves with the site. Those that know the real deal stick with it because for us it is a gold mine and we know who to / who not to get involved with. Maybe you are not up to date on news but TER is being ran by someone else. They also got rid of those shady moderators.

    When busted, I have heard of reviews being used against many girls. So what? That is them. There are ladies that have been busted doing this and those that have never been in trouble because we take extra measures to protect ourselves.

    I know of the consequences, politics around reviews and I still allow them.

    Sam, you need to stop acting like you know it all because you don't. When was the last time you worked as an escort? You are not currently a full time escort so you telling us what is good and bad for us is comical. There are ladies here that have been doing this longer than you have and have more knowledge about this business than you. IF TER was truly the plague, being as paranoid as I am, I would avoid it but it's not.

    No. You say this all of the time and it is false. Women who get busted are not necessarily stupid or not taking precautions. Any one of you could get arrested at any time. You have been LUCKY. You are not superior to those who have been caught and had their lives destroyed, you simply rolled the dice just like they did but you got lucky.

    What are you? 20 years old? It's pathetic how you hold yourself up as some sort of escorting expert. You're too young to have any impressive experience in this business. You've been lucky. Your luck may hold out, it may not.

    By the way, constantly shifting between escorting, camming, being a topless maid and whatever else you do doesn't make you look wildly successful to anyone with an IQ above the double digits. If you were really successful, you wouldn't have to constantly shift jobs in order to take care of yourself.

    What makes you think I am 20 years old? Why don't you stick to what you know? and do not insult me or talk down to me to make yourself feel better. Your little jab at me was pretty fucking pathetic. Thanks. Escorting expert? Something like it. Just ask the ladies I've helping on and off sw.

    Age has nothing to do with intelligence nor does it have anything to do with maturity.

    Constantly Shifting? Is there a limit in this industry? I can do whatever I want and I plan to start a non adult business soon.

    I am an escort. I have been a Full time camgirl and a part - time topless maid. I've even danced and everyone knows how that went. You and I both know that there is more money in escorting and that is why I choose to do it (at least it's more money for me). Duh??? Why will I do something that's not bringing me as much money. So what are you talking about constantly shifting? Shifting or switching? Why are you so worried about what I choose to do for a living?

    I never claimed to be an escorting guru. I just know more than a lot of ladies do (yes I have even helped ladies that have been in the biz longer than I have). Simple. If you think you know more than me you should share more than post your rants and personal attacks.

    The ladies that have actually met me in person can attest to that . Your personal attacks are just that...attacks...from some angry girl on the internet.

    The majority of them that do get busted just do stupid shit. That is just the bottom line. There is a big difference between luck and skill.

    Anybody can be gotten at any time. Especially by the police when they have pages and pages of reviews that talk about sexual acts they provide for cash. (Which, by the way, is prostitution not escorting.)

    I know you aren't capable of taking advice TG, but maybe some other girl on here will really think about that and decide if it's worth the risk rather than taking your word for it that she'll be fine if she does the right dance and talks enough bullshit.

    I don't need advice from you. I have been doing this long enough to stay safe and obviously I am doing something right. There are other WORKING ladies that I surround myself with that give me damn good advice and hell even they know I am great at taking advice. Like I said, the majority of the ladies I know that have gotten busted have done some really stupid shit. I have bailed two ladies out this year that flat out agreed to sex for money.

    MarvelGirl, I have walked into a sting before and was not busted. I have posted about it countless times on sw. Sometimes it is what you say. Sure some ladies just get busted but I have managed to stay out of jail and have a crystal clean record.

    As for talking bullshit? It sure as hell did work for me in that situation. My experiences and your experiences will differ. So you're pretty much attacking me for no reason.

    Did you know there are ways to talk to someone without insulting them? For someone that is accusing me of being superior , you really don't paint yourself in the best light. Seriously that was uncalled for.

    Hey, everyone-- simmer down. Both sides have valid points.

    It's awesome to be super screener and rely on skill but you could always have some bad luck and get busted anyway.

    There's basically an element of hope in just being a harder person to pin something on than other women who are doing stupid stuff that makes them easier to be busted.

    Now, is it better to rely on luck or skill to get you through something that is fraught with potentially bad legal attention? Well, don't rely on either. I guess I'd rather be the person who's lucky 100% of the time, but that'd be ridiculous, so that's where skill comes in.


    It comes down to percentages and knowing what's going on in your area, using skills such as screening, and having a gut instinct you can trust.

    Now, I have an instinct that I trust, but that's like depending on luck, so I screen my potential dates very carefully, not just for LE issues but also if I'm going to enjoy hanging out with them.

    Now, LE CAN throw a monkey wrench at you if they're willing to put in the time and effort, maybe get access to a valid P411 account or get known women to give them references, and also have the money to pursue you. But then again, this is where TG is right-- There's a pretty standard operating procedure from what women have told me in terms of asking for specific acts, bringing up the money, asking how much for what type of acts.

    But depending on only getting busted in that one type of scenario, no matter how prevalent, isn't useful either which is WHY women need to have a lawyer to help them out of the mess, fight the charge, and potentially expunge it if it gets that far.

    Basically-- cover your bases at all levels: before a date, during a date, and after a date whether it's gone right or wrong. I had to blast one guy who stupidly emailed me about sex acts after he and I hung out. He apologized and hopefully he'll be better trained not to pull that shit but I definitely emphasized that he was paying for me to come hang out with him, and not whatever he was talking about and that I didn't appreciate him pressuring me.


    And before anyone accuses of me being a know-it-all, let me just say YMMV. Some things work for some women and not for others, but being overcautious in my mind beats being not very cautious at all.

    For the disagreeing parties-- agree to disagree and stop baiting each other. You don't like each other, fine. That's what the ignore button is for, and if you can't do that don't stoop to personal attacks--

    a good form to follow is: " I disagree with so-and-so because of x, y, and z. My experience has been ..."

    Correct FG.

    Fact of the matter is: Arguing about it is pretty "stupid" because what works for me won't always work for the next girl and vice versa. There are ladies that don't screen and have never been busted. That is not skill but luck. Seriously, I'm getting sick of chicks attacking me for no reason and putting words in my mouth. (When did I say I was an "expert"... ) )

    Anyone can get busted anytime. I have never denied that but my point is the majority of the ladies that I know that have gotten busted did something very "stupid". I have bailed laides out of jail and my first question is "what happened?". It's usually because they did something stupid. Check out the alert section on the escort review boards to see how "stupid" a lot of these ladies get over a few dollars.

    Like the girl that kept letting her client do drugs at her incall. Mind you the police was already staking her out. She went down and she went down hard. That, to me, is stupid.

    The ladies that know me know that I am very paranoid. That is why I have been somewhat successful in this business. A little paranoia alone will take you a long way in this business.

    ^ a provider who's one of my screening diva friends said she got busted two years ago because

    She got told the perfect story (for her) by a woman who wanted a threesome to shut her boyfriend up but

    1. Didn't have any references
    2. Couldn't screen because she worked at home, and the boyfriend worked for the Air Force so they didn't feel comfortable putting that information out.
    2.5 They met her at her car (which wasn't automatically a strike but was a strike considering all the other stuff)
    3. There was a connecting door in the hotel room and this was the ONE time she didn't go to check to see if it was locked. At the end, the door opened and she saw other busted providers waiting with LE.
    4. And then they spent the majority of the time just chatting with the provider sitting on the guy's lap and rubbing the guy's shoulders, and the "wife" said, "Can you just give him a blowjob?"

    Now, the provider herself is saying as she's holding up one fingers, two fingers, three fingers, etc. to emphasize how each moment was a stupid point she should have walked away from.

    Now-- she got off because her lawyer fought it, and also because when the woman asked for a blowjob, the provider responded, "Now, I will happily do that for free, but you did not pay me to come here to do that-- you paid for my time and companionship."

    So they busted her and she felt completely stupid, and though she didn't cover her butt when it came to before the butt (except solely trusting her gut instinct which turned out to be wrong) and then during the date except towards the end when she said (and she was taped saying this so she got off) that she would do something for FREE but not for money.

    And she covered her butt afterward with her lawyer.

    But even she agreed stupid shit got her to where she got in that situation. It doesn't speak to ALL situations, but in that sense I can agree with TG about generalities.
