How do you feel about a Provider asking you to send them a picture of your business card?

They'll never hear from me again. Same goes for those that ask for a headshot. Fuck that!!! If tons of references and/or P411 okays are not good for them, I go elsewhere. I've seen too many examples of client's info being put on public websites [which are not blacklists]

Thats what I said, Makes no sense, I understand there safety, but I can easily go online and make a fake card.

Whatever they want I'm willing to give.  NOT.  I understand their concerns but I have concerns too.

If you don't have OKs within the last six months, then Gina will flat out tell us (the ladies) to do additional screening. P411 really isn't a verification service, IMO, it's a holding area for your reference information. I realize that's not as lucrative a sell for her, but really, if you look at it. It's not good for being called much else.  

This obviously isn't going to apply to the BSC girls so please don't try to make it

I would never see someone who wanted scans of all that info, which is why I joined P411 and have numerous OKs from reputable women. If someone wanted that stuff in addition I would politely decline the request and look for someone else.

But the info on it can always be sent or relayed over the phone.  

Few months back, I had made an appointment to see a well reviewd provider thru P411.
I sent her a pre-screening info via P411, She replied positively and set a day and time to meet.
On the day of the meeting while I am on my way to see her, she sent me a message that she would need me to show her my Driver's Lic. I said,I have never shown anyone my DL and you have all my info, all Oksyd from P411 and that should be enough9 Otherwise she should have never asked me to meet with her!).
I told her that I am turning around and would not meet her.
Few minutes later while I was on my way back home, she sends me another message that It's okay, She would see me. I said , NO,Thank you".
She had already wasted my time and I was in no mood to see her.
I saves some money that day!!

I recently spoke to her about this, and she definitely wants to know if a guy won't show his ID. It's how we verify that it is, in fact, your account. Matching the ID to the person you've been speaking to is how you avoid seeing guys who share accounts, or worse. Your OKs mean nothing if they aren't yours, and other women not screening you as directed by the owner of the website doesn't mean much either. That's why most reputable women say they need to speak to a reputable woman, in hopes that she has done her part to make sure you aren't a problem.  

I believe this is the most sensible way to go about it. There is no industry standard when it comes to the screening process. A provider should do whatever she feels is necessary to ensure her safety. If her methods don't agree with your comfort then the best course of action is to move on. Whining on the internet will not persuade her to change her mind.  

Further verification is needed. And I have had guys literally tell me they use a friend's account for P411, and TER. (Kinda not smart but I'm glad they told me)

I understand the need for verification to ensure safety but safety is a two way street!  While I have shown an ID at the time of a session, it is always just a quick look, I would never allow them to take a picture of it or would I send one to a potential provider.  Last I checked this hobby of ours is an illegal endeavor and the potential of personal information being leaked or stolen is always a possibility no matter how careful or trust worthy the provider says they are.  I would assume that if I checked your ID's it would not say Courtney Ova or Ava London and why is that?  To protect your personal lives, would you be willing to verify yourselves to potential clients this way?

......when asked about P411, and id.

A valid point I agree but I did notice that your face is blurred out on your ads also I don't see your home address being posted anywhere either.

No, that would be detrimental to both of us.  

Really, to suggest that because we don't post our full personal profile on our public  hooker websites we shouldn't expect to know who we are meeting with is soooo far out there... Do you even know how stupid it would be for YOU if we did that? Yes, a woman could post your info somewhere, but you doing something to get yourself in trouble is VERY different than someone just throwing that information out there as if they have no idea how the world works. Publicly, we all need to be careful with our information until at least decriminalization comes into effect. That doesn't mean anonymity is or should be king though.  

Perhaps this whole thread has gone off on a tangent and my sarcasm has gone unnoticed.   I have not suggested that you or any other provider ACTUALLY post their personal information on their "Hooker" web site nor have I suggested that you don't screen that would be stupid nor do I expect you to show an ID.  My whole point is that sending a photo copy of your ID is not something that I personally am comfortable with or would do as I am sure you or any other provider would.  Like I said I have shown them briefly at a first meeting but that's as far as I personally would go.  I knew when I posted the premise of "samesies" (nice new word) I would get some reaction but judging from your lengthy responses you are very passionate about this.    I have thought this through and for me simple and easy means limiting my personal information exposure.

I've never ever been asked to show ID in conjunction with my p411 which I've had for 4-5 years.

What do you want, a congratulations? Lol

You gals on here always say one thing and many if not all always do another. That's all. Carry on.

I won't ask for a business card, because in my opinion it's completely worthless, but if someone claims to be a newbie (in most cases they actually aren't - they're usually (not always) covering for misbehavior using a different name, I will ask for either a link to their company bio to prove identity, and/or a DL.

I am newbie friendly, and so if someone has no references and isn't comfortable signing up with a verification site, my alternate forms of screening is through using different forms of identification. But, I never REQUIRE you send it to me, I happily accept it in person as well, and don't ask to keep it just to SEE IT. But, you said that you have references so that wouldn't even apply to you.  

I don't think that some ladies don't even realize how much business they are losing by have the invasive screening requirements. I know when I look at P411, if I find they want an online form completed or want additional information they almost always get excluded immediately.  It isn't worth the hassle in most cases.  

Many girls give okays that don't want to out of fear of retaliation and receiving a bad review. Keep in mind, what might be "okay" for one isn't okay for another too.

Good morning everyone, I didnt think this would start a war!!

Was blackmailed a few years ago by a TER reviewed provider who is no longer listed and would change phones and locations all the time. She took my card out while I was in bathroom and looked up my business and info. I understand when you are new hobbyist but when you have old TER handle and P411 or RS2k no need for card and id.  

That happens a lot with ladies working under $200/hr, and looks like that's what you stick to, which is fine, we're all on a budget. Do you really think a lady that's highly reviewed making $600/hr would blackmail? Why would she? I won't say it would never happen, but she's not seeing 12 guys in a day and isn't hard up for cash. Which goes back to my original point that some ladies will see ANYBODY for cash. I won't. You feel "safe" with that because she didn't ask your name?! Really?!

Based on the timeframe of her reviews. Ten years ago that was an average price.

I know you know better than this Alex....to suggest that a gal posting 600/hr is not in the same dire need of johns and bucks that the gal posting 200/hr.  

Feel free to laugh at me everyone, cause I look back and do.  I learned a LOT in the past couple years.  Keep in mind, my superassistant Cara now handles my screening cause she rocks at it, likes me, and wants to keep me safe.  I adore her.

Shut your face Bob. You're my bitch and I love you. You can't stand I've moved to Chicago ; )

the $200/hr girl, for whatever reason, set her rates as such.  her reasons could be vast and varied, the same as the lady who charges $600/hr.  Perhaps she likes seeing a bunch of dudes at once, and taking the rest of the time off.  maybe the market shes in + the services she provides= the rate she's at. Maybe she needs to see a large volume of clients to pay the bills.  Bottom line, her body, her business, her choice.  Who are any of us to judge how she makes her cash, what she charges, who she sees? She's got bills to pay, a home to sustain, and other things to deal with just like we all do.  She's also just as likely to blackmail/not blackmail as any other hooker would be. Her price point is not indicative of her morals or ethics.  I hope you wouldn't think that.  

That was my point as well.

Erin, clearly you misunderstood me. You know me and know I'm not an asshole.
