Has anyone else had a hard time with the person to runs carol-assistant screening service? I'm trying to be nice but this person is a jerk.
Care to add any details of what you are experiencing? Define "being a jerk"...

Did you send a token of appreciation? Most assistants love gifts. Being vetted takes time it’s no fun that’s why they pay an assistant. I used to require a $15 vetted voluntary contribution because booking a date can be worse, than pulling teeth for some who are not sending all the requirements in 1 email. It’s excessive now 10, 20 up to 50 emails to secure a booking is time consuming.
It's more like an agency I think.
But I, too, would like to know how this person or persons are being a "jerk".

That’s going on the list with jumbo shrimp, military intelligence, push brake to start, and the classic “if you come to a fork in the road, take it.”
LoL I’m sorry Queen B, I just couldn’t resist. By all accounts you are a consummate professional.
Also, 50 emails to setup an appointment?? Is that real? That’s beyond ridiculous! What kind of maniacs are we talking about here? See, this is why I could never be a escort. I mean, it’s also because I’m too fat and bald and ugly and I’ve got two too many testicles; but mostly it’s because I could never have the patience to deal with Eddie McEmailzalot and his neuroses.
NOT a disqualifier for TS providers. In fact, their customers seem to like the additional equipment. Lol
HAHA!!
Well, I uhh I guess can’t argue with that. My mistake. Like a blind man at an orgy, I’m just trying to feel my way through.
I signed up with her recently and she is very nice (or whomever answers)
She did post on her site that someone has been using a similar sounding site to get business, and you may not have the "real" Carol, so maybe that's the issue?
My problem with carol-assistant.com is I can't figure out how to create an account - I've already submitted my info and got verified, but that doesn't let you log into the website itself. But strangely somehow I was able to update my email preferences - I don't get this. I read on some other TER threads that guys had problems setting up accounts with her and actually being able to get into the website - they finally managed in the end but didn't spell out the steps they took to resolve the problem so I'm at a loss as to what to do.
Perhaps my making a post on this subject was a mistake. A mistake that I now regret.
My issue with carols-assistant screener was her inability to explain exactly what she needed to verify that I was not a serial killer. I do not have valid references within the past ten years. I do understand that screening without them is arduous.
The same is true when begging old friends to provide the same after I have passed their point of non-provision.
However, I was not in a position to provide the screener with passwords to my personal data on business websites such as LinkedIn. I sent the screener a link twice without successfully passing her requirements. I was annoyed when she took offense, saying I was being difficult by not wanting to provide more personal information.
I may be new to this old game. But as a retired Navy Officer, I understand the meaning of security clearances and security protocols.
But in hindsight, cooler heads would have prevailed.
