Can't be us clients --my disclosing confidential information to a complete stranger that I plan to give a lot of money to does not somehow make ME immune from walking into a sting.

She knows EVERYTHING about me, and I know duky-squat about her.

Shouldn't clients be afforded their own form of screening? (like THAT'LL ever happen!)

Obviously, she is protected because she gets a sense of assurance that you are not LE.  Plus, with this information, she can check private boards that escorts use to make sure you are not a rip-off artists or worse, an abuser.

You receive some sense of protection by the fact that if the provider were LE, they would not care to do any screening.  Why waste the time; what are they afraid of?

You also do screening by checking out the provider with her reviews and, if you are a VIP member, checking with her clients to make sure things are on the level.

In sum:  Screening is good policy.

We give out our phone numbers to buy batteries at Radio Shack, why not for this?

What is keeping the "spending-way-more-time-and-brain-power-on-this-than-catching-real-criminals" LE from making these screenings a part of their thinly-veiled entrapment stings --just for --as movie directors say-- the added "realism"?

P.S. In the off-chance that I DO ever buy something at Radio Shack, I make up a phone number --and it's a fairly safe bet they won't be calling it to make sure it's really me.

This would not qualify as entrapment.  Entrapment involves LE making you do something you would not ordinarily have done.

If you contact a lady, give her information to verify, then show up, you had INTENT to commit the crime.  It's not entrapment in any way.

Hi, here's a provider perspective which may help.  I'm a ts, so I can kind of see both sides.

Escorts screen clients obviously to reduce stings but also because you are a stranger whom we are inviting into our home.

Online stings seem to be more targeted toward escorts, not guys.  It's easier to put a decoy on the street and hook 40 car cruisers in a night than to entice a few guys to a hotel room. Whereas the main way to sting an escort is to get her to let LE in or come to them.

A quality provider will consider it part of her "job" to protect your privacy.

But all escorts get kooky calls and often have a stalker or two (or ten) so most won't accept blocked calls. And for some reason gents have trouble leaving a message when we can't answer the phone so it give us a call back number.

As a client you should screen a girl.  Talk with her on the phone. If she's fun, friendly, and  seems genuinely interested in you and is willing to take the time to talk to you then you will usually get the same thing in person.

If she's got some reviews and owns a web domain and a generally good rep you will most likely have a great time.

I think most of you gents can figure out when you're getting scammed.  

So just use common sense and have FUN!

Best,
TS Jamie

The ultimate form of safety for the customer is never to make the call...No one is forcing you.

Most stings are in fact directed towards providers, not customers.  The exception to this is when LE sets up on the street trying to slow street walker traffic by busting their customers.

See consistently well reviewed ladies.  Use services like P-411 (overseas control & third party).  
I've seen more guys have problems from a "psycho-bitch" escort with his real identity than from LE

My .02:

I felt VERY PROTECTED when a provider I had seen once called my office asking me to bail her out of jail....

The best thing for you to do is never solicit your girl by asking for full service etc. It is completely unnessary to have an illegal verbal contract. The screening is for safety and she can remeber you for next time. You won't get arrested for giving your personal info to an escor or LE . You have to commit a crime first.

I worked for a woman who got busted, and it was enough to scare me out of the business for a few years... Screening is very important!  She got lazy and greedy and it cost her 8 years.  Men have little to risk.  The LE go after the women, and it often has more to do with a major trying to get re-elected by putting out a 'do good' image than enforcing the L.  As a woman, I have had my share of bad experiences outside of this business, and my safety is of foremost important.  If a man doesn't trust that I am going to be confidential with his information, then how can I trust that he will not cause me harm.  We have to start from a place of mutual respect and trust. And of course, intuition plays an important part too.  Go with your gut.

Yup guys have nothing to lose -- just read the headlines: D.C. Madame to Sell 10,000 Phone Records of High-End Washington Clients

I'm sure these guys on this list have nothing to lose...families, careers, etc.

It should be a tit for tat -- providers give exactly the same information they request from any client...name, job (if they have another one), address, phone number, etc. I mean we're talking about mutual respect and trust right
