It's Google voice. It keeps the numbers. I don't have to do a thing. I just have to search a number. I don't keep them saved. I don't even have to have a phone. I asked the OP what his number was. The number he gave me only showed up as having called me back in September. Google voice is how I confirm I saw someone and the session went well. I use that feature to give references and confirm I saw someone when they say I did. I didn't see anyone or even communicate with anyone Dec 1st .
Don't let yourself get carried away. Lots of ladies use Google Voice for that very reason. It's very anonymous and very reliable.
After I posted this, I received a pm from a provider I requested a reference from for this gentlemen. So I concede that I may have seen him.
By the title of the review I thought he was a newbie and that's what initially piqued my concern because I don't usually see newbies. That's why I pm'd him to ask for his number. When it didn't check out by the date I posted this. No I did not remember that I had asked another provider for a reference on him and I thanked her for taking the time to pm me. I said I could be wrong and I may have been. But not about the date. Which is what led me to think it may have been fake.
As far as the significance of a favorable fake review, well, let's say some serial rapist or LE decided to start writing good reviews on established providers in hopes they would appear more legit. I've heard some guys think reviews actually count as references. They don't. Anyone can write a review. It's up to providers to monitor who is writing reviews on them and raise their hand if something seems off.
Well something seemed off. So I raised my hand. No offense, only1 but it is a safety risk and maybe one you haven't considered. Please don't be ugly about an honest effort to keep the community informed. Thanks.
I said I may have seen him. And I may have. But from what I could tell on my end at the time, I hadn't.
Now I can't see all the other stuff. I'm way too busy to keep up with all that shit. From what I could see it raised some questions.
I'm pretty sure I haven't hurt this man's reputation in any way, shape or form. There's nothing wrong with discussing something. I didn't call him out in a negative way. I even said I could be wrong but here's what I know. Not sure how that's hurting a guy but I felt I was doing the right thing. Anyway...I gotta get to sleep.
Y'all have a good night.
