And as we've seen in the airport CBP facial recognition of providers from RentMen, big brother is making lists. Being on the client list when that shoe drops won't be fun. RentMen may be non-US-based but "firms" are getting that info and "selling" it to the government. (not that the government doesn't probably already know). 

I'd be surprised if RM sold names to the US government.   Privacy laws are very strict in Europe.  Selling names to the US government would be their last action before being shut down.

The reason businesses like this operate there is to keep the US government at bay.  Rentboy tried the US and look where that got them.

RM doesn't sell the names or photos. A "private" (lol) firm gathers the information and photos and sells it to the gov't here. I know I read where the UK gov't claims to be furious about it and ordered them to stop with UK citizens but that's for show. Big brother sees and knows everything in 2023. I wouldn't want my info transmitted in the US as a client.

Paying $240 dollars per year to Rentmen merely to be able to write a review about an escort and to see some homemade video clips of the escort is overpriced.  

Most Rentmen clients know that if a review of an escort is not a five-star review, the reviews usually end up being deleted from an escort's account not long after the negative review gets posted. 

Thus, where is the actual benefit to a client for paying $240 dollars (annually) to Rentmen?

Non-paying clients hire escorts from Rentmen. 

Now that reviews are not accepted from non-paying Rentmen clients, the Rentmen site is missing an unknown amount of critical information that would normally appear in reviews of Rentmen escorts.  

To have Rentmen reject reviews of escorts from non-paying members of Rentmen is short-sighted and is a disservice to Rentmen clients.    

 

   

 

and yet many people do it and enjoy the "leverage" 20 extra per month gives them, yes an extra 20 gives you "leverage" in this world.

Just curious, what "leverage" does the $240 payment to rentmen give a client versus putting your privacy at risk for having your information on an escort site?

You know, of course, even if you pay rentmen anonymously, your IP address still identifies you.

Where is the "leverage"?

[TorontoDrew]

When I gave my last hire his tip he asked me to keep it and join up again so I could leave a review.

one the rarest of occasions when I am looking for someone new to try I only use this site as a resource. it is the only reliable source IMO

Sometimes posters on here are a bit paranoid.

If you googled it there's a record, in fact all our posts on here could be retrieved with the legal consequences of our actions. 

Escorts care about reviews, only paying members review can review them under the current circumstances, right? Therefore, some escorts might appreciate "reviewing members" more than non reviewing members.

For the record, I left RM after my negative review of Czech Jock was removed. I was never a paying member, they don't have my CC in file but they have my IP address, and they also have yours considering you also read that site and I guess occasionally hire from it.

I wish we were allowed to include the conversation of booking as part of their reviews.  To me customer service is everything from the greeting to the goodbye. 

[omgazn]

I left one or two bad reviews before and they were all removed.

All the reviews were because I was catfished. Russian/Asian Provider are the biggest offenders of Catfishing. That is why I started Googling the provider and that is how I found this forum. Definitely more creditable on this site then the reviews on that actual site.

RM’s servers and RM HQ are located in Germany and Spain. The US has no right to look into RM’s business. The owner of RM didn’t do the same mistake as Rentboy did.

RM is not selling any names or infos. 

DHS is just looking at public information that escorts outside the US are putting out there.

They publish their travel itinerary and show their faces, that’s their mistakes they should be more conscious about it. 

Sadly 2 months ago a French escort was refused entry in JFK and sent back to France with a 5 years ban. CBP officers were waiting for him.

As for negative reviews left I still see some negative reviews in many profiles so they are not all removed.

I have hired a few highly-reviewed people who have been a complete waste of time.  A couple of them have tried to solicit reviews, so I suspect that is how they drive the numbers up.  Bad reviews tend to disappear.  Even I will no longer leave bad reviews after receiving threats from 2 of the 4 people I gave a bad review.  The threats were stupid and irrelevant, but I don't see the point in stirring up trouble just to slap a bad provider with a bad review.  I doubt I'm alone in this.

Beyond reading the actual text descriptions, do you find any value in RM reviews at all?

Although you wrote your post over a year ago, this is my first time coming to it, I think.  But at any rate, since you question the reviews, I would recommend that you send chats to some of the escorts' previous clients to get some insight about the men in question.  I've done this as well as having others do it to me.  My assessment was accurate, for these men were satisfied with the men who I had seen and had reviewed.

I haven't been with a man since March of this year, but prior to my making arrangements to see him, I wrote to about four or five of his previous clients and asked specific questions.  For me all responded positively.  In fact, this particular escort investigated me, and since I guess he received positive feedback, he canceled the requested deposit and saw me.  

The guy was great looking in person and smelled and tasted deliciously, especially his tight ass.  He had long hanging tea bags that also turned me on as well.

So follow my advice and see what happens.  

For four or more years, I'd primarily seen one guy, so I did not have to wonder what kind of time I'd have with him. Unfortunately, he changed his sexual identification from BI to STRAIGHT, and with the latter tag, he was not as interactive or super-sexy.  In fact, when we last saw each other, he viewed straight porn on his phone in order to get hard.

That turned me off.  For during the years that we would meet, he was interactive up to a point, loved having his ass rimmed and my fingers to massage his inner tubing.  And boy could he fuck.  I ALWAYS had a fine time with him.  

One time in 2023 he was fucking out my brains; I was loving it, for it felt oh so fuckin' good, but I had to ask him nicely to stop in fear of my perhaps having a heart attack from all that I felt. (...only my thoughts, for I do NOT have problems with my heart.).  I MISS THIS GUY.

I favor the new rule that only premium clients, such as I am, can contribute reviews to enhance the hiring experience. By paying a fee we are showing our commitment to maintaining the standards of the organization.  (Ha ha). 

While some non premium clients may be of the same best intentions, others may be trying to undermine the system. After all they have no skin in the game. I would rather not hear their voices frankly.

So, the fact that you give rentmen $240 annually makes your reviews more credible than a review from someone who does not give rentmen money because they feel they are not getting any value for the money given to rentmen?

Let's be realistic.  Rentmen charges $240 from clients because the "premier" title is a profit center to rentmen.  

Think of the clients who are deprived of posting honest and truthful reviews merely because it is not worth $240 each year simply to review a paid experience with someone advertising on rentmen.  

Most of us know that rentmen deletes unfavorable reviews of their advertising customers.  It is not in the interest of rentmen to expect a provider (escort) to pay rentmen more than $1,000 each year to advertise if the ad contains negative reviews.   Hence, remove the negative review.

Clearly, bonafide negative reviews being removed by rentmen is dishonest and not honest to clients who rely on rentmen as their source for finding providers.  

Rentmen is a great and necessary tool for finding providers but it is also a scam, without question for removing negative reviews.

This is absolutely the case. I am an RM premium client and read the reviews daily. Everyday there is at least 1 negative review. I also read the reasons. Mostly because did not live up to their promises. Some outright scams. A few fake pics. Also could not get hard. The list goes on.

[Luv2play]

And btw, some of us long time clients still only pay $9.90 a month for premium. Loyalty has it's rewards.

I did not say there were no negative reviews.  I said that most negative reviews (reviews marked with less than five stars) are removed from a provider's account either shortly after the review is posted or within a few weeks.

Good for you for being grandfathered with the initial rentmen rate ($9.90) so you can write reviews on providers you hire from rentmen.  As you know, new rentmen customers must now pay $240 annually for their reviews to be accepted by rentmen.  

Even though you pay only about $120 yearly for the right to have your review posted on a rentmen provider's advertisement (provided the review is not a negative review), what do you get from rentmen except being able to write reviews and see some minor porn that is free on many other internet sites? 

In short, rentmen clients who hire providers from rentmen ads cannot have a review accepted unless the client pays rentmen $240 annually.  Unquestionably, this requirement is prejudicial and discriminatory, and potentially dangerous.  It could be dangerous because rentmen customers who do not pay rentmen $240, but hire a provider from rentmen,  cannot warn other rentmen customers about fake ads or dishonest acts of providers that are often reported on this site.

The provider must ask rentmen to remove the negative review.  If the provider is a long-term paying customer, the negative review will disappear from their site.

Yes, rentmen allows negative reviews from those who pay for their so-called "premium" membership. 

However, if a provider (who pays $1,000 or more per month to rentmen for advertising) contacts rentmen and wants the negative review removed, the negative review will disappear. 

Rentmen might be the biggest and best advertising source for hiring providers but rentmen has its faults for not being honest about reviews.   

[mike carey]

Like other users who have posted here, I too was faced with the new rates (c$20/mo although that's in AUD) when I had been paying the discounted $AU49.95 for six months. Rather than pay the new monthly rate I chose to pay $AU159.95 for a full year, still more than I had been paying but considerably less than the monthly rate would have been.

Some negative reviews as you pointed on your previous statement still remain, unfortunately mine were removed. I guess not all escorts are willing to even ask RM to remove a negative review or not all of them get removed.
