I tried to come up with an idea myself rather than pointing the finger at the new rules... as my boss say "Give me solutions, not problems"

I was thinking of something along the idea of using mobile phone numbers.

A punter could contact EI mods/Patricia or whoever by PM or text message to say "I just visited girl x at this time and date and I've left a review. The last 4 digits of my mobile are XXXX."
EI would then contact the girl and say did you get calls from a phone number ending in XXXX at the time and date provided by the punter and did he turn up and complete the booking?
Once confirmed, that person (or at least that review) would be marked as trusted/legit.

Anyway i thought some more and it wouldn't work. Apart from the over heads of EI having to contact the escorts, there's the fact that alot of punters don't complete their reviews until days/weeks after the actual visit and even if they did the review with 24 hrs, what escort is going to still have that phone number on their recent call history list given that they probably get 50-100 calls a day.

anyway.. just thought this idea might inspire others to come up with solutions (and not just problems)
Getting the Escort involved is recipe for disaster. The pimps who have control over the escorts will have a field day as they will be able to get the escort to provide references, confirm bookings, anything that is required from the escort they will be able to control.
