it's not that simple for US LE to go cross border in order to obtain information. It's even more unlikely for LE to obtain information from cross border sources so they can go after one hobbyist. Why make it easy for LE? Although it's their duty to do their job, it's my duty to protect myself. That's why P411 might be better if you feel the same way.

I am a newbie for the TER, and became a VIP member last month. Would any be kind enough to tell me which verifying site should I sign up for? I would like to give least amount of personal info.
Thank you.

RS2000 is mainly in the mid West, so if you're not from there I'd go with one of the other two.  I belong to both.  I started with P411 because they had an 800# to call and work out what verification info I needed to provide.  I don't have a work # (which most providers want, too) so we worked out some different personal info I provided.  It's also nice the P411 is based in Canada so they are safe from US LE.  D-C is good, too, and each have very similar features: PMing providers, lists of favorites, many gals who discount for members, etc.  I like the D-C feature that displays on a calendar the names of any of your favorites that are in a specific geographical area.  Good luck!
PS: I don't know if D-C has added an 800# by now or not, so check.

regarding RS2K.  I'm in FL, and I belong to DC and P411.  You can get a lifetime membership to DC for about $125.  For P411, it's $289 for a lifetime membership.  P411 does have a toll free number you can use to contact them, DC does not, at least I could not find one.

was unable to because I could not complete the mandatory form including a work phone #.  So I went to P411.  Later, when I'd developed a bunch of OKs on P411, I was able to join Date-Check.  I belong to both because some gals prefer one over the other.

Hey Rippington,

There are 2 popular ones:

Preferred 411 (do a Google search for the link)

Room Service 2000 (do a Google search for the link)

F.Y.I., I use the 2nd one.

I am a member of RS2000 as well as P411.  I do not use date-check so can't comment on that.  

First off, you need to provide full disclosure of personal information to the service (and that stays absolutely confidential).  

If you would like to give out the least amount of information to your provider, then P411 seems to be better, as you only need to give out your unique identifer (which they provide to you after you join and has your first name only in it). You do not need to give providers your real full name.

RS2K, on the other hand, states that when contacting a provider, that you should provide your full name (first and last), phone number, and city and state of your driver's license.
