and you will be fine. If she has reviews, social media, and advertises on multiple platforms, then she is legit. I promise you we want to continue making money legitimately in this business. We aren't going to ruin our reputations to blackmail a client.
There are still those of us who are happy to accept two provider references as screening. But, when a gentleman doesn't have two provider references, or he waited too last minute to book an appointment, then RWI is going to be required. There is simply no other way to prove you aren't LE. A phone call, selfie, or video chat does not prove you aren't LE.
Providers are much more likely to be raped, assaulted, robbed, or murdered than clients are to be blackmailed. And, a client who sends his RWI is significantly more likely to be on his best behavior and respect our boundaries.
In nearly 10 years as Stina Valentine, I've never been arrested, and I've only had two bad clients. A provider who only "screens" with a selfie, video chat, or phone call has had many more bad experiences than I have. In fact, a provider who doesn't require either references or RWI, I would say that's much more of a red flag. She is desperate enough to compromise her safety.
You're probably a great guy who is respectful of providers. But, for every "you" there is, there is a rapist or a robber too. I hope you understand. This is such a dangerous job for us, so we have to keep ourselves safe.
