There are lots of scammers in this industry, and it is NOT just providers.
As far as providers go, most of the scams are done from the ones that are not members of a site like this as the places they advertise do not hold them accountable so they keep on doing it and the number of provider scammers grow. On a board such as this, a hobbyist can review and/or provide intel on her, linking her profile containing her pics and other info.
However, because of the false reviews and honest negative reviews that get backlash, giving guys hesitation to post that information, obviously makes a site like this far from foolproof. But, the true reviews and intel that does get posted are driving many of the providers that scam guys to leave the site and continue elsewhere, which also has them go to other parts of country as well.
The other types of scammers are the hobbyists and providers who have not seen a particular hobbyist decide to post misinformation if not outright lies on him to not only get a response, but also discourage other providers to not see him. And amazingly, there are LOTS of those type of gullible providers that do not seem to be able to think for themselves, that get told what to think.
