You can see me on TER under my phone number 978-876-2931.  I'm searching for someone responsible and interested in providing good customer services to clients!  Feel free to call me or email me at [email protected].  Thanks,  Debbie

I searched using your phone number, and it became clear.

How do you not screen people who you invite to your house?

I didn't know how to do it.  That's why. lol

Because a lot  of guys Ive discussed this with don't want to give out their personal information to an escort and screening does not guarantee anything.  I've gone through this before and I may try to screen eventually, but I just don't understand why men who want discretion would be willing to give that info out, especially married ones.  It opens a can of worms to possible blackmail for instance or the information getting into the wrong hands, such as LE.  I just may re join National Blacklist though, although I don't think many escorts use it.

BTW I am not the only provider who doesn't screen.

Searching for a provider to work with here is misplaced.

Continuing to admit that you do not screen and refuse to screen is tempting fate.

There are many predators and at least one organized element who peruse these boards- I'm nearly certain you would not like to be a sitting duck for either.

I suggest you use your body of reviews and join the Provider Only Board.

I'm not the only drunk that drives.  SO....I'm cool, right?

Now picture the oppostie: if EVERY drunk got behind the wheel.  How safe would it be out there?

Knowing you don't screen would keep me hemispheres away from you, even if you were the Top-ranked girl on TER.

Why? and Why? and Why?  Why is this coming up again, how does this affect you and why would a guy not come to me, because I don't screen them?  Why is this such a sore issue????? WHY? What I do is my own business I would think.  Didn't know it was such a hot topic until I was searching for an escort.  I didn't know beforehand that independents screened.  I have not been escorting for all that long.  Maybe it's like belonging to a union?

a potential client know that HE's not walking into a trap?

So bottom line: if you are so carefree about whom you see, it says a lot about how you value your level of discretion.  And your level of discretion can have a HUGE impact on the OTHER guys you see.

If you can't see the obvious benefit to knowing whom you see is SAFE and not LE, there's no point in trying to drive it into your head.

So, if LE targets a particular provider or agency, they will simply give up upon learning that they screen? Wow, that's pretty naive.

Silence must be deafening to you!  Jesus!  Listen to me, ok?  There was an escort in Salem who screened and LE made up contact information.  She called the so called work place and it was a set up.  She saw him, the guy she screened and was arrested.  You can look it up online if you want.  It happened a few years back.  She didn't advertise on a website, she had her own website advertisement.  Also any LE could put an ad up and ask for screening information.  Actually if they did, it would be perfect for them, because then they'd know who you were already before they arrest you.

With the risks, help yourself.  You didnt win the argument on merit, you wore me down with your ignorance.

Why? Two Cents of an Escort's POV.

Debbie/Lisa?,

From your reviews, you sound like an incredibly sweet woman. I really wish you hadn't tied yourself to this issue. Nonetheless, for your benefit, I will not let it this issue go until you get it. I sincerely don't want to see anything happen to you or our community.

You're right. Every provider is his or her own small business. S/he has the right to run her business however she chooses. However, no wo/man is an island. You don't have to do this alone. Ultimately, that's why we are here. So, here is my advice.

1) First and foremost, get on your knees and thank God or your higher power that nothing has happened to you in the past two years+ that you've been doing this. Frankly, that's a miracle IMHO.

I do not screen as a protection from LE. I have heard of busts, elsewhere, where providers/hobbyists are 'flipped'. I don't use that as a justification.

2) Think of the rest of us.
Run your business how you choose. After the craigslist murder, we lost CL because the public had a martyr to justify. Do you want to be the martyr that collapses BP? You live in a hobby-friendly state due to the old loophole. Do you want to be the martyr that ends that? If something happens to you then it will happen to all of us. So, be a utilitarian -- screen.

3) Build a regiment that works for you.
I can understand why you aren't not requesting names and employment history. I too feel uncomfortable asking for that info. Moreover, I have little to no faith in a google search of a name. During my tenure as a provider, I've used employment verification once. Even then, I couldn't relax that I was safe until he began DATY. Fortunately, as the hobby community is small, one doesn't have to take these measures most of the time.

4) Join date-check and p411.

Your immediate benefit: Those sites are free for providers and they constitute free advertising.
I love the date-check location device. Hobbyists go there, type where they are visiting, and then research those girls. That costs you nothing. It MAKES you money. On p411, you earn 'points' for remarking on a date. Those points earn you free ads. Again, it's free advertising. I don't love using those sites as my sole screening tool but at least it's something. I use those sites as my personal starting point to screening.

Second benefit: Drastic reduction to hobbyist NCNS and other bad behaviors.
Not a single gentleman who has contacted me via those sites has not shown up.  I assume it is because those sites are really the only way that a provider can give his/her mini review. Maybe I'm delusional but I like to think the men I meet are as invested in our lifestyle as I am. We should all have something to 'lose'. If a monger mistreats me or NCNS then it's on his record. It negates part of his list of 'Highly Recommends'.
I refuse men with DC strikes but it's not as if I threaten the others. It is understood.

Third benefit: Hobbyists refuse ladies who don't screen.
Have you had a lot of no shows during these years? Maybe the lack of screening was a red flag to some? I learned about screening when a hobbyist asked me how I screened him. They are coached on the newbie page of every major site that not screening is a red flag. Red flags become no shows.  Screening will earn you business.

4) Open YOUR mind and make friends with a few other providers.
One of the several reasons that I wouldn't double with you is due to the use of the word 'mature'. As it isn't an age reference, it sounds like you're calling some  providers immature. That's catty. THAT IS IMMATURE. I have no room for catty backstabbing ish in my life. I have to  trust and respect each provider that I double with. It often involves a pre-double dinner or night out before I will meet her with another person.
My actual fourth piece of advice is for you to link your ID with your reviews and email admin for access to join provider forum. Even more, join each and every forum you can find. Get to know a few girls and TS providers. Then...

5) SEEK PROVIDER REFERENCES!
-Why doesn't the guy who is about to stick his dick in your mouth want to tell you who he's met?
You have 13 reviews. You are the first TER review for 2/13. 85% of the guys who booked dates with you had prior hobby histories. How is it that you DON'T want to know their background?

Benefit 1: The right to choose.
You're not desperate. You have the right to shape your clientele. I skim most of the reviews of my bookings. If I read anything that turns MY tummy, then I cancel. If my day is nearly fully booked then at times I decide between dates via their histories. I personally have found myself catering to men who enjoy giving DATY and seeing a woman orgasm.

Benefit 2: Cater to high reviewers.
Guys with 30+ reviews have built a name for themselves in our community. If a high reviewer gives you a review then it holds more weight. I try to cater to those guys. It will boost your biz a bit

B 3: Shape your reviews
A bad review hurts much more than a good review helps. If I see a guy is a mean reviewer then I don't see him. On another site, you recently got into a spat with a jerk who clearly doesn't like women. If you screened, that would have never happened.
WEEKS prior to your date he abusively described a woman's body and he critiqued her apartment. WEEKS later, when he did the same thing to you, you were outraged? You two look alike! If he didn't like her then why would he like you? Moreover, if I'm not a guys normal type then I wonder why. Ask!

B 4: Use his history to your advantage.
If a guy says he likes 'A' then I do 'A' x 10! If a guy says he doesn't like 'B' then I don't do 'B'. it's as simple as that.

B 5: Get tips from references.
Here's a place where knowing a few providers comes in...
When a gent first contacts me, I look up his TER/DC/p411. I skim his list to see if I know any of his prior girls. We live in a small region. Chances are, you must know someone he has seen! If so, then call up my FRIEND and ask his/her personal opinion. Often, they give a tip. (i.e. he's a fan of prostate massage. Stay in this hotel. He hated that I didn't have ____)
If I don't personally know my predecessors, then I ask him, 'Have you seen any providers that you haven't reviewed?'. This seems to be code for, 'Are there any TS providers I might know who know you?' The Boston tranny population has been a gold mine of info for me. I have NO problem sharing info with them.
Each time you call a reference, give a little and get a little. Build trust. Build a rapport.

I'm not going to mention the benefit of SAFETY as you appear indifferent to inviting total strangers to your home... But, that brings me to my next point. What female knows that this isn't some other kind of set up? Even if you have good intentions, how do you know that Joe Snuffy isn't using you to lure in a victim? For all you know he could be looking to host a gang bang or anything under the sun! Now that I know you're not safe, I can't trust YOUR reference. I'm not going to see anyone who has previously reviewed you. They aren't practicing safety. Could they be LE flips?

I wish you the best and I hope you call me for a reference soon.  

You have to be a complete idiot to operate out of your house and not check. Never operate out of you house on the north shore LE will be on you in no time. The amount of times you advertise on back page just raises a red flag to LE. What you are doing is a danger to all providers and the rest of us. They will call and get details from you and then watch your location and get photo and  tag # of people going in and out. They could make a major case due to your actions. Based on this i would never call or see you!!!

Dimwit? That's a good one. I'm speaking strictly about LE. Screening will do nothing to stop them if they want you. In fact, this sort of action to prevent them from doing their job, may make them less inclined to give a break.

I think if you people really wanted to help lisa you could have sent her a pm instead of attacking her using aliases and responding using aliases.  Because honestly, if she did want help, or was looking for help, she still has noone to ask because you all you wonderful providers that have no problem telling her all of her shortcomings and all of her problems, while hiding behind an alias is like absolutely no help at all.   I am far from perfect, but a little heads up if you truly want to HELP someone, you might use your real name instead of an alias so the person who has issues has someone to contact.  

I forgot its much more fun just to bash someone.  Grow up!

No one can fuck with Crystal : )

Why should I give her my info? She doesn't have anyone elses.

But if you feel that she was unfairly attacked then I look forward to reading your doubles reviews in the future! Give her a call.

I like her. I don't want to PM her.

Read the post.  She is looking for a doubles partner, not in one place did she mention screening, until yopu brought it up.  That was so helpful for her I am sure. (Yes I am being sarcastic)  MRS Fuckem, You will never read a review of me singles or doubles as I dont have a website and can't get reviews at the present time.  Why because I am a very private and careful person, who is a NAZI screener.  For the record, you made the point in my original post in this post, you dont want to help her.  I did pm her, but not sure she has pm, also emailed her, why because yes screening is important in my opinion and offered help if she needed it.  Also because I think she should email admin and get her reviews linked so she can get on the providers board.  So although you wont read the doubles review, I am TOFTT as I am reaching out to another provider to help them unlike you.

adios

Ok....everyone has had their say. We're done here. Thread closed!!!

The dead horse has been beaten enough....and I'm done with finding another dozen posts of drivel waiting to be approved.

The only thing I'm going to say is this:
Lisa / Debbie.....if you're admittedly new at this, and don't know how to get on the providers board, and aren't "computer savvy" enough to post links and such...............you seriously need to slow down in this business and learn what you are doing.
Concentrate on understanding and knowing how to work a lucrative business that just happens to be illegal....before you worry about finding someone to work with.
Whether you like it or not...want to admit it or not...you are putting yourself and others at risk.
Not cool. Not acceptable.

All these questions you are asking are best suited for the newbie board here. It's easy to find, easy to ask questions, and is a calm and judgment free zone. Read the self help guides here on this site...that are linked from the newbie board.
Once you get a little more basic knowledge, you'll find things will be much easier on you in many ways.

Good luck.
DD

And it's MS. not MRS.

and eom means end of message,  punta.  

Do the guys want to give this information out?  What do I ask for and how to I assure them that this information will be kept confidential?

I never thought of that. Are you willing to give your private information out to escorts then?  Do you trust them with the information?

I don't mind asking for contact info if the guys are willing to give it out.  How do I verify?  Is there a site I can join?  Also can't a guy give out false information?

I don't mind help.  I'd like to work with someone who screens then.  I have only been doing this since last Feb. and didn't know anyone screened.  I do mind that people are mean and rude to me though.  If guys are willing to give personal info out and want to give it out then I will screen them if someone would tell me how to go about doing it.  The only reason I haven't even thought of screening was because I didn't know it existed for one and another I thought that guys would shy away from that sort of thing.

I don't know how to join it. and in this post I never admitted to not screening.  That was previously.  If anything I'm more of a sitting duck now, because of these threads and backlashes.

Too bad people are so darn mean.  Just curious, if one does screen aren't these men still strangers in your house?  I mean you never met them before.  I'm just curious?  Does it definitely prevent them from hurting me?  Can people make up info and also no one has answered my question.  How do guys know their information will be kept confidential from LE or from being blackmailed.  No one has answered me

I do not know how to get on the providers board or attaching reviews or links.  I am not computer savvy.

This board people have class and watch out for each other. If you have no idea who you are dealing with you will get heart or dead. Not doing any screening makes you look like a street walker with no class.. Grow up or get out of the trade.

1) look at the top menu for different discussion boards. (scroll up and look up there right now
2) do you see on the right side the word 'more' ? click on that word and you will see two more words.
3) click on 'provider'.
4) it will open up to a page that tells about the provder board and in the last paragraph will have a 'link' to click on to contact the ter admin to ask to set you up with accessdmin. You ask them to link your handle and reviews together as well.


In the future if you have questions you can email [email protected] and I am pretty sure you will get some help. Once I did have to write a couple of times just 'cause of the volume they must get

Big hug~

No need to be cruel, don't you think?  I'm fairly new to this and didn't know about verification.  Actually my thread did not mention anything about me verifying or not verifying btw. Just an fyi.  Too bad you are so hostile really.  I have several regulars and do not walk the streets.  I also have a b.a. and am in the helping field with adults who are disabled and have mental issues.  Doing a job that most people won't or cannot do and it's low paying. I do deserve a little respect, because I'm caring for people who'd be out on the streets possibly there to harm you if it weren't for me.

Nothing in this world is perfect. If you dont screen you might as well leave the door open and let anyone in. Screening saves lives and gives you a feel for the person you are talking to Do not give your location till have checked.

i sent you my info I will help you straighten it out tomorrow.  Until then, I suggest just dont post but it is just a kind suggestion from a fellow provider

Inhale. Exhale. I only meant it as a jovial jest.

Anyhow, I applaud your efforts. Keyword is YOUR! You can't be upset with me because I don't want to PM this girl.

Nowhere in my posts have I unfairly attacked this Child of God. Why are you so angry? Are you upset that in her ISO post, I advised her potential partners that she doesn't screen? For one girl many have to be put at risk? That doesnt make sense.

Also, if Lisa hasn't heard of screening then maybe some other provider can be saved with my post.

In the meantime, breathe. You are undoubtably the Queen of Kind Hearted Providers in our region. You're nice to other girls on board and via backchannel which is truly appreciated! Nonetheless, I think your sweet maternal instincts have gone overboard here...

----  
One more JOVIAL JEST that I can't resist:
What elite school do your kids attend that teaches Spanish in the 6th grade?!

Lisa,

If you think I'm mean then just wait to see what the guy who you dont screen can do!

You are not dumb. Breathe. Don't get defensive. Take advice and listen. I know it hurts but it will make you better.

I don't routinely ask anyone for their personal information. I don't ask their names, employment history, etc. First I ask, 'Can you please send me a note on TER, p411, DC, (insert other sites)'? Most of the time, that's all the info I need. I take it from there. If I need more info then the next question that I ask the hobbyist is, 'Can you please send me the website and email address for two providers you've visited in the past year?'

Questions to ask when calling references is EXTENSIVELY discussed in providers forums.

Do not post on here?  I will never post on this discussion again!  Believe me!  I don't deserve this treatment!

-- Modified on 11/7/2011 8:43:48 PM

because we have worked our ass (kitty) off to establish ourselves as reputable Providers that take pride in ourselves as well as the companionship we provide.
These men are what I call "Hobby Savvy" and theyre great fucks that adore a respect reputable Providers.
Yea, becoming a reputable Provider takes time....she is not greedy or selfish and she chooses whom she will spen her time with.
Its so much better than some inconsiderate smelly Fuktard fucking you through the floor til you're practically dead.

Honestly, I would not see a hobbyist that has seen you because it is a risk to me and my clients/lovers/friends.

I will be showing other ladies how to screen and I would like to you to join us...please.
However, I can not disclose screening procedures on an open forum....don't wanna show the bad fellas how to get through the system.
If you accept this offer, I will test you to make sure you're screening...time is money and I don't like anyone fucking with my money!

as much as I feel safe screening and all just a few short yrs ago when I started screening was by gut instinct mostly.
we winged it.
Took chances and prayed for the best.

Ill admit screening is so much better but thats just the way I do it now, not everyone.

I still rely on my gut to make the final choice to see someone or not but I screen them first.

I think with all the safety measures in place now ya gotta be crazy to not use them all and screen like a maniac but thats just me.
You as the client can choose to see someone or not based on how safe you think they are.
There are plenty of clients who will be more than happy to NOT be screened
