I am new to being an escort and was wondering if there were any signs that you could be being set up?

I am asking as there was this one guy that had kept calling me on a daily basis and wanted to meet(no references) always last minute.   He finally stopped calling when I told him that he had to schedule something in advance after about a week and a half.

Now someone else from the same town is basically doing the same exact thing.   However, this guy I did meet for coffee.   He did look out the window quite a bit, but that could be because he was nervous as he said he was.   He did show me his driver's liscense and credit card etc.   He says he real big into racing, yet no one in that town knows him that is in the racing scene and his website for his racing team is a thrown together piece of crap.( I found it when I searched for his name on the internet)  He says this is because he's waiting until he gets a sponsor to complete it at that time.   He has now asked me to meet him in my home, after already stating that he was too well known around my and his area and that he wanted to travel farther to meet and me telling me that I won't meet in my community due to my status in it in sports and my job that I hold.   I searched for the phone numbers on the internet that were listed on his website and the phone number to the home was wrong, but the one I have is in the book and listed in the wife's name.   He used suddenly getting a cold to back out of doing anything that day and all weekend in fact.   He called 2x a day during the weekend.   He is wanting to meet today instead.   For some reason I am just getting a bad gut reaction to this one and I don't know why that is really.
What do you guys think?
Is this something LE would do?

My rule of thumb so far is that if they are willing to give references, then they are on the up and up generally.   I don't meet without them, but could really use the cash this guy is willing to offer me.   He knows I need it too.   He went from wanting to meet once or twice a month, to 2-3 times a week in my home in less than two hours.   At this point the only thing this guy will have on me are my websites.

Always go with your gut on just about anything in this business whether it be a boyfriend, agency, client or LE. No amount of money is worth it. Been there, done that.

You should make sure your screening procedures are such
that you won't have a legal problem.  From your post it
sounds like you just winging it.  

Why not post on the newbie board and ask the ladies for
some assistance.  I'm sure they can help you in setting
up some procedures.  I'm also sure they will introduce
themselves on the board (publicly) but will insist on
"talking" in private - e.g. email or TER message - so
as not to reveal their secrets.

good luck,

I am a hobbyist, not a provider.  But I would stay away from the guy, he something but it does not seem that he is anything that you should get involved with.  During the future the best way to stay out of trouble is to get a work phone extension (which this guy does not have) or work exchange, then call at your timing, do not let the guy "suggest" a call in time, you would be making a mistake if you called any potential client when that person request that you call.  There are reasons why potential clients are evasive, some may be trying to hide activity from a wife or girlfriend but the best rule is that if you cannot make contact to verify that the person is who he say he is then you are better off walking away before you end up taking some other type of walk.

Definately go with your gut instinct and stick to your guns.  Guys will give you pressure about your verification or reference checks, but if that is what you need to feel comfortable, you need to do what is best for you and you alone.
Recently I have been haggled by a local trying to set up an appointment with me because some of the guys here on TER said all you have to do is make an appointment once and go through the verification process and you'll never have to be checked out again.  That may be fine for some, but for myself, I always ask for checks AND references from well known providers.  I made the mistake once in being nice and letting it slide and I regretted it and paid a price.  
As tempting as the money may sound, stick to your guns and I"m sure there will be another way to fix your financial situation  hugz and good luck!

**ATTENTION**  As I have always said, and I will continue to say, DO NOT, under any circumstances, go against your gut.  Your gut feelings are your internal warning system.  Better to be wrong about your gut than to be in jail.
I do not EVER see a hobbyist without a reference.  No matter what.  It is just not worth it, and this is Your life we are talking about here!
On the one hand, he may be a LE.  But on the other hand he may not, but he could be someone dangerous who is going to do some terrible things to you.  Up here in Seattle, there are some accounts of guys who beat up girls, or rip them off or worse.
Please Be Careful!  Trust Your Gut!

Go with your instict.As a driver, If I get a bad feeling about a client, I tell the girl I'm working with,it aint worth it.Better to be safe than sorry.

I cannot imagine why providers continue to believe that just because a guy shows his license means he isn't an LE. (whatever that is. I have an idea). I have had them show me their license. All drivers have them. It says nothing but that they are licensed to drive. If your gut says something is wrong, go with it.
