Been the victim of a bad or dishonest review? I'm a veteran PERBite with hundreds of posts. The virtual community trusts my reviews. One or two posts from me and your phone will be back to ringing off the hook for 3 weeks, maybe more.
In exchange I get $150 and one session (to add some legitimacy to the post).

Send me a link to your CL ad and we'll talk.

This concept goes against everything Perb stands for, and will ruin the site. There are enough shills, and shill police already, this type of thing will make every review suspect.

It's too bad, this site is a great resource, but this "trusted" member is willing to flush the whole site by profiting from his reputation.

asshole

enuff said. and full of shit to boot.

 

[luv-em-n-lv-em]

No biggee!

If anyone is really concerned, just create the very situation he describes and flush him out.

He's in his own fantasy land. No girl, not even a druggie, would go for that.

that's the stupidest thing i've ever heard of. everyone knows the girls on this board get other girls to shill for them.

It could be just a scam for the cash and a lay - anyone could claim to be any poster (which has happened in the past).
Unless you make him post a very specific piece of text to 'prove' his identity.

this is why it's good to read more than one review

I was kind of thinking the same thing. Or it could be a trap to out the ladies who participate in those kinds of shady business practices.

But hey, if it's for real and this guy actually manages to get paid $150 to have a session, power to him! LOL

Hey. If it works for him, so much the better.
The SP may be that dumb and then he will have to tell her what to do.

 

[cancowboy2001]

Maybe this scam wasn't working as well for him

Ridiculous `new review board`

"Why spend hundreds in advertising when you can list here for free with just 30 minutes of your time.

Your review will stay on this site for as long as you are in business, unless you request it to be removed.

Guaranteed for 1 year.

This site is completely free with a mild catch of course.

You will not be the one to write your review, I will be the person to write this review.

How do I do this unless I experience your services myself?

Obviously I will have to come and see you myself at no charge to you and at no charge to me, all you would be required to do is give me 30 minutes of your services as though I were just some random person off the street, and after this 30 minutes is up I will take four pictures of you in any way you would like.

After this is said and done I will write a review, list your services, price(s) and contact info completely free."
