Verified Providers

[Gerald]

A special feature of the London Sugar ad pages is the small green verification check-mark at the bottom of the ads.

This symbol confirms the advertiser is a known provider of services.
This is NOT a guarantee of services which can vary from client to client.
The real purpose of this "verification" is to tell you that the advertiser has been vetted using various trusted sources. It is not a scam, bait and switch or fake ad.

If there is no check-mark it ONLY means there was no verification sources available. It could still become verified once that information becomes available. An unknown advertiser could also be a hidden gem yet to be discovered.

How an advertiser gets "verified"

Not all advertisers are verified immediately. Anyone can purchase an ad as I am running a business that survives on it's revenue. I rarely say no to money because I like money and I need money.

Verification happens when I find someone who knows the advertiser. This can be via another advertiser who is verified, or by reviews of the advertiser.
If it's by review, I also look at who is doing the review to make sure it's not a fake or shill review. This can be from this board, or other websites. Technically I am verifying reviewers as well, before verifying advertisers.

If I do find out an unverified provider is pulling a scam, I will publicly announce that here and terminate the ad.
