Telephone verification for reviews on Rentmasseur

[simongayx]

I had a great sensual massage from a provider on Rentmasseur last week.   I really wanted to give him a 5 star review.   But I notice that Rentmasseur now insists on a phone no. for verification.   This didn't used to be the case for those who have an account, and make appointments through the RM messaging system (as I always do).   I am uncomfortable providing my cell no.  I suspect other clients feel the same way, and that this requirement will reduce further the numbers of reliable reviews on the platform.  Am I being overly cautious?

I don't think so.  I wouldn't give them my phone number.

It used to be if you communicated with the provider on the site, you could leave a review. Depending on how often you engage in this hobby, there are apps like Burner you can use to have a separate number not connected to you.

Exactly. I don't use my real number (or real name...) when I contact masseurs so RM can have my VoIP number if they want. lol

I thought it was always if you had an account and messaged a provider to show you've had interaction with them.

Thanks.  That's a solution.  I don't book that often, and rarely leave a review.   It was just that this time I really had a good massage, liked the provider, and wanted to help him out.  So I frankly don't see how this insistence on phone verification helps either clients or masseurs.

I went to check and realized that, probably because I'm a paid member of Rentmassuer, they do have my phone number. I'm not that worried about it. It's actually an old number that I no longer use.

I totally agree. I was in the same situation a while ago after meeting with an outstanding provider. So I had a lengthy discussion with the RM Webmaster and argued that I am quite convinced that I am not alone requiring discretion and I would assume that they therefore might lose the reviews from a category of subscribers that would be a reliable source, while anyone who is really determined to write a fake review could always find a way around the rules.  I am a paying member and I asked the RM Webmaster to escalate this to the Management so hopefully, if there is a reaction from the subscribers, they might change back to the previous rules.
