When I was new it helped me out (because P411 verified my employment) and even now it helps in meeting new ladies (much faster verification).

I bought that before I paid for my VIP at TER.  I find that for search and research purposes TER is way better.  But 411 helps speed up verification without having to send lists of references etc.  So (unless references and the verification time has not been an issue for you) I would suggest getting 411.

On a cautionary note they do have more info on you (on TER if you don't pay for VIP, hence no credit card, you could be quite anonymous, not so with 411), so the LE risk is there, but I assume membership can not be a legal offense in itself.

A lot of ladies do offer discounts if you have 411, so if you use those you could offset teh 411 fee.

Question for 411 members - Do you ask/ avail the discounts? I either forget to or feel kinnda cheap asking, but I guess I probably should.

I had membership for one year.  It is another avenue to see who is coming to town.  But I did not renew my membership.  It really didn't do anything for me.  Even with a membership there women still wanted the who verification process.  Which is OK, but then the value isn't there.

I've heard of people getting their accounts phished, but have not heard of any LE presence.  Did you see this on a board or in the news?

I have had no trouble, but that is because like all tools, P411 is only part of the system.  P411 helps with verification, and even menu checking, but TER provides comfort that the girl has a track record and is therefore more likely to be legit.

Go For it!
P411 is a great site that has been around a long while.
I prefer P411 gent references over pretty much anything
