I require anyone without a referecne to email me their full name, age, and the state the reside and a contact number.  I usually can figure out where they work without even asking.  The first thing you do is run a background check on beenverified.com, as I always check to make sure someone doesn't have a violent history.

You may think I am paranoid but last year I was able to advoid a 43 year old man that 3 years prior had been convicted for sexual assualt on a child under 14.

You can use info from been verified to ask the client to confirm a few details and then start googling his name + state and usually you can find out where he is employed or his place of business.  I rather not make a man feel uncomofrtable by asking him where he works unless I can't figure it out on my own.  I also find if you tell clients that you will require ID when you meet, they are less likely to try and lie about who they are.

Ladies be KIND, please return emails and calls for reference inquires.  I give references on guys I haven't seen in years.  Lets all work together and help keep ne another safe.

The only info I keep after I meet a client is his first name, age, cell, email and board handles.  I do not keep any personal information after I meet with a client.
