[QUOTE=B Beall; 1364378]Man, that is some pretty weak tea, especially when you tell us how much better it would taste with your special sweetener, if only you could share it.
NR isn't exactly a beehive of activity. And it only allows one review per provider. So if a guy spends his hard-earned hobby dollars on one woman he likes he's not going to chalk up many reviews. When esdotcom was the focal point of reviews I think you could say that the appearance of one-review reviewers was suspicious-of something; not enough to start flinging around charges of LE activity-but the sample audience at NR is too small. It could very well just be indicative of the fact that seasoned reviewers haven't taken a chance, because they check out the quality of reviews without being warned about it.
And, look, I don't disbelieve you. But, for one, the English language has a marvelous ability to permit saying something you "can't say". We don't need names and addresses of your inside sources, but we could use a couple lines to read between. And we need you to understand that those sorts of charges get leveled all the time, that a lot of us hear them, say, from SPs we trust with our personal information, or trust to hold our wallets, but who nonetheless have picked up someone else's bs or missed communication or outright lies.
Everyone should know to check on reviewers, as well as reviews. And should be left to make his own decision. If you've got more to add, please say it a little clearer.[/QUOTE]Actually NR doesn't limit reviews to one per provider. Many advertisers have multiple reviews.
When I posted my report, I struggled with the fact that I was offering no verification of what I was reporting. I get that. I'm by nature, a curious person as well. However, worst case scenario is this: Someone REALLY wanted to see one of those two providers, but would be sufficiently scared off to the point that they would have to overcome that urge and select one of the dozens of other providers that offer their wares to the central Indiana area. I agree with you that checking the reviewer as well as the reviewee is a good idea. (In fact, that's what confirmed for me that something was fishy with these two.) I wouldn't expect everyone (anyone) to take my word for it, but that's your choice of course. I could be wrong, but my info and gut both say no.
The info that I had was specifically based on Alexis Nicole, not Vivian. I surmised that Vivian might very well be working with Alexis Ann, again based on reviews. If you can see the reviews and reviewees on NR, check it out, and tell me whether or not it raises a red flag.
Info received, fishy reviews and reviewers, and a "reverse sting" that I personally conducted yesterday, have lead me to believe that these two should be avoided. (If you want details of my sting operation, send a PM. I can't out myself on this board.) Short of being placed in cuffs and charged by IMPD, I cannot promise that I'm 100 percent correct in my thoughts. However, I'm pretty sure about it, and I thought it would be nice for me to give a head's up. The information is worth whatever one wants it to be. If you set an appointment with one of these providers and have a 5-star experience, I would of course be happy to say I was wrong.
