Everyone has their own screening standards, and not everyone's screening policies are the same. You have to understand, however, that the following are facts about Chicago
-Tom Dart is our county sheriff. He's the one that got credit card processing pulled on backpage, and was also instrumental in the shuttering of the adult section of the site.
-Cook County as a task force specifically dedicated to "human trafficking", and numerous busts have happened both in Chicago and countywide over the last 2 years. Chicago itself also has a task force specifically dedicated to our industry, and if you know about certain federal legislation that was just passed, it provided certain areas of Cook County with lots of money to fight "the war on human trafficking." Women are increasingly being charged with human trafficking charges at the federal level when working collectively (sharing incall spaces, booking for one another, etc). The current laws that our country has in place regarding human trafficking are notoriously punitive against workers and not their clients. Cook County and Chicago have been hyper vigilant recently.
-There were 3 busts that happened very recently here, and one of them was federal level. The owner of RS2K was charged and sentenced for tax evasion after a 6 year investigation, and that also has folks on edge.
Those are just some general facts about the area at large; now for your specific request:
-You're European, and depending on where you hail from, what we do may be decriminalized or legal. We are in the US- the only place prostitution is legal is in Nevada. I've been told by other ladies who work abroad that screening in the US is far stricter than anywhere else in the world, but our laws pertaining to prostitution are also far more punitive.
-Ladies who has ever been burnt by being sent on a fake outcall or has gone to an outcall only to have the dude not answer the door will often double-check that the person who booked the appointment is indeed in the hotel room they specified. In order to be transferred to your hotel room via the front desk, we need to know your full name. This isn't a policy everyone has, but it is certainly something that some folks do.
-Not everyone is reference-friendly, or will only see you based on references. If someone is reference-friendly, references often need to be current (within the last 6 months for some, up to a year for others). Are your references current?
-For most, a review is not a stand-in for a reference.
Really, the bottom line is this: Chicago is super hostile towards what we do, but there are also lots of different ladies who screen in lots of different ways. You're free to shop around until you can find someone who meets your screening needs.
