Twice in the last week I have had a request for me to email a copy of my Driver's License to book an appointment. That is insane!

There are many quality providers out there that don't require DL information. You never know when it'll come back to bite you. Guilt by association can derail your personal and professional life.

There's no point in wasting my time or theirs when there's an obvious impasse like that.

...those differences are pretty clear.   There are clients who are concerned about losing everything they have and those that have little or nothing to lose.  Then there are those that are in the camp of being willing to risk it all for what they cannot attain without paying.

I’ve never paid a deposit and never will. If they don’t trust us, based on our references, then why should we trust them with our info or deposit?

It is not a flawed analogy. We have met in the past.  I have great referrals and lots of Okay's on P411 and TER.

In this case, a provider retired but didn’t delete the PII, including pics of DLs (subject of this thread) she’s received from clients over the years.  I’d call that a clear misuse of personal data. Then she made another mistake in her choice of boyfriend.  See the linked thread (already linked in a post not far below).

...there's been 3 posts in the last month about providers either threatening or actually releasing their identities online.  One guy (who was/is an idiot) requested his money back after a bad performance on HER part.  Yeah, he should have written it off but he didn't so she put his info all over twitter...just because he asked for a refund.

Glad I’m not the only one that saw the irony in the traffic law comment.

Just get verified and if it means showing your DL then do it if you can’t verify with references or other normal measures.

… to a provider. It’s about a provider demanding that a picture of a DL be emailed to her.  Do you understand the difference?

Jennie, so Are you backing off now that you've one legitimate example?

...have been exposed & destroyed, blackmailed, extorted etc, more people will realize no pussy is worth a lifetime of infinite liability...not even if it belongs to a "reputable" provider.  

In my opinion,  two words describe guys who give providers personal Information and/or deposits as a requirement for meeting.  Those two words are desperate and stupid.

Looks like that Long Island killer would have come up clean on any screening.  Screening doesn't stop serial killers -- because there is no registry of serial killers.  They kind of work UTR.  

What evidence was there that he screened?  If these dozen girls that were killed had any record of the killer’s real name then it wouldn’t have taken 13 years and an FBI investigation to solve the case.  

I have seen many providers who screen clients by ID, social media, business profile etc. I have never had a problem with it in the last 10+ years of my time hobbying. I’m finding it more common for providers to ask me for my ID versus references, 411 or other screening platforms.  I have asked a few of them about their methods of screening and their responses were all similar.

....once a person has your info, they've got it for as long as they want to have it regardless if what YOU sent them automatically deletes.  When done, they still have your credit report and background check.

Not a big deal?  Giving out copies of your drivers license, real name, personal info for this illegal activity is equivalent to having BBFS with those who have hundreds or thousands of sex partners.  The risk multiplies and is compounded with each exposure.  Sooner or later you are going to get caught up in something out of your control.  How do you know anything about who your are meeting other than maybe they are a good fuck?  They are not going to share their personal information.  They will give you a stage name, website and reviews, some have removed all their reviews or never allowed them.   They could be involved in other criminal activity or have a husband, boyfriend, handler who has a rap sheet longer than your arm.  There are 20+ years of examples on TER discussion boards where it ended badly.  There are many more examples in life showing reasons why never to send an electronic copy of an ID to anyone. Identity theft is real and can turn your life upside down.

As I stated, I have emailed CC info and then texted the CVV.  This is a safer way to transfer CC info.  Still, my banker says to NEVER email CC info. Also, never email a picture of your DL.  A text is safer, but you really need to be 100% sure of who is getting that text. BTW, the banks miss the security of fax machines, seriously.

See how much dirt they were able to dig up on Hunter

Seeing escorts is still illegal and also has serious consequences for most people if knowledge of this becomes public.  Why would you feel safer about handing over PII under those circumstances?

So I am guessing me and you emailed the same girl. Emailed her last week and not only did she want copy of drivers license but a 50% deposit (yes she wanted as much of a deposit as some girls are total). She is somewhat new and has a handful of reviews and all very good. She does not do incall (maybe the massive deposit is to book a hotel)???  
 She tends to tweet about her dates weekly and it doesn't sound like she is too busy, alot of lunch dates and with the same guys it seems.
  I am guessing the 50% deposits scares most of her suitors away if not the drivers license already have.  But for some of the guys who may have seen her early on and didn't have to go through this congratulations you found a good lady right away.

Would ever send DL, LinkIn profile.  How fucking stupid do you have to be????????? Ask the hoe to share similar ID.

And in the 10+ years that I have been working in this industry, I have met some amazing friends, that I am still friends with and always will be.  
Not 1, I REPEAT, Not 1 client of mine that has screened fully, has EVER had an issue out of me.
I have never shared a photo of a DL with ANYONE!!
its also deleted and trashed after he is verified.  
There is NO WAY, I am meeting a COMPLETE stranger at my location
where we are in a place alone, and I have No clue who he is!!! absolutely NOT.
How dangerous is that? I have been in some VERY dangerous situations, and thankfully, I had to give that client a nice reminder of, I KNOW EXACTLY who you are and were you live and where you work and how to contact your family, if you harm me, and that has always changed the situation.  
Ladies, Please stay safe and always, always, always screen and do whats best for you!!
No donation is worth your life.
hope you all have a great rest of your week!!

After verification all info is "trashed and deleted" but you still have all this info on hand to remind the client that you can put a bead on him.  You must have a terrific memory to keep all these info bubbles rolling through your head as you work your way through your appointments!  Would you like to correct your post and now try to tell us next that the info is trashed and deleted after the session has occurred without incident?

Snafu pretty much makes very valid points.

P411, referrals is all I do and have met several amazing ladies.
Or doing deposits and not sending my ID or personal info ahead of time.

The other provider is well known but apparently she didn't screen as we later found out , which is the reason I no longer take provider referrals  

a guy that is known for doing this, his description or ANY info on him would be all over the boards.  Worth noting though, as you said on another thread, a prominent ad platform based in Minnesota is NOT safe or secure, stolen photos can be uploaded and nobody verifies the content of the ads.

I just checked my "Deleted Items" folder and it contains over 2,000 emails. I will purge that, but I know ALL of my emails are achieved.

There's also the reality that it is ridiculously easy to copy information these days.  Lots of software includes automatic backup options that can be activated simply with one setting when it is originally installed or at a later date.  Information can be copied to another location or even to the Cloud with the user scarcely being aware of it.
