There are some traps, but if you stay with high rated agencies, you will get appointments without traps. You will have to supply some personal information such a DL and maybe a business card or show an unused return airline ticket. High rated agencies are typically willing to act as references to other agencies and indies once they have developed a comfort level with you.

Also try some verification services.(you'll need at least one provider reference)

I suggest seeing a provider who is newbie friendly!(like myself)...everyone has to start somewhere! Just be careful and try to find ladies who have some good reviews.
