Was wondering something.  If a client is new to the service and the provider, (or the screener) requests references, what should the client do.  They are new so they may not have any reference.  Is there a work around this?

Yes there is...find a review of a well reviewed lady and contact her about having a drink in the hotel bar and see if she approves...It's my understanding that LE is real active in some areas of the south and most of the ladies are really paranoid at this time. For more try the newbie board lots of threads there and BTW getting in the hobby has been one of the best things I've ever done for myself There are a lot of negatives but if you see the right ladies it's well worth the risk.

You can use work if you have a discreet provider. There are a few that aren't unfortunately. Most are though.
