Kind of paronoid of giving that info out how does it work exactly?

My experience with P411 was that I gave them my extension and the main number. She just called into my extension, said she was doing an employment verification, asked if I was XXXX, and that was that.

you about a doctor or dentist appointment; once put through to your extension they may say hi or just hang up. Other times they may be calling to verify employment for a loan application or something similar.  

Providers have a right to know who they are seeing. It is all about their safety and comfort level.

Keystone kid is right.  

But imagine if we use some creative license!
.....Fade in.....

A black Maserati pulls up to Acme Widgets and a tall buxom lady in platform heels, miniskirt and see through blouse climbs out.....

Our lady friend saunters to the receptionist and pulls out a little black leather book from her $3000 purse and flips through it. "I'm looking for John Smith, honey."  Everyone stares. The widget assembly line rattles to a halt, yellow warning lights flashing an an alarm buzzing. Widgets clatter to the floor.

John Smith, our middle aged mustached man with a comb over and moderate paunch emerges from his desk in accounting. He nervously approaches, regretful that he's wearing his worn loafers from JC Penny. "Um hi...You must be Candy?" He glances over nervously at the corner office where Brock Bucksworth, the owner, has his office. Thankfully the blinds are closed on the door.  

"You betcha, baby!" She replies. Comes over grabs his head and gives John a deep wet kiss before sliding her hands down his slacks to perform the perfunctory yet mythically critical LE check. She spins on her heels, grabs Johns hands and briefly holds them against her chest before sashaying back to reception.  

At this point, Brock emerges from the corner office, wondering why the assembly line is shut down. He sees Candy. He stammers. He looks at John slinking back to accounting. Candy reaches into her cleavage and pulls out a business card. She strolls over to Brock, presses it into his hand before grabbing his rear and then heads to the door. On her way out she eyes the young attractive receptionist, tossed her another card, and says, "Baby with a body like that I could show you how to make some real money", winks, then leaves. The card reads "Candy's Intimate Consulting" tag line, "Come have Fun in Candyland".  

The Maserati revs, back tires chirp and she pulls out of the parking lot.
Camera pans back inside as we hear Brock yell "John Smith! My office! Now!"
Camera fades as the receptionist examines the card and slyly slips it into her purse......

Now THATS how you do a work verification.....

 

 

Hahahaha! That was great!

But for some reason I pictured the whole scene as a deleted clip from "Who Framed Roger Rabbit"

They call your main number with an excuse like reminding you of an upcoming doctor's appt. If she is directed to your extension, she will more than likely hang up before you answer.  She now knows that you do work there which is basically all she needs.  She now has a pretty good idea that you are not LEO.

who work from their homes. I haven't had a company office in nearly 20 years. And there's no phone number to call to verify employment. Like many companies these days, mine uses a 3rd party web site for employment verification. But then there's a digital record of the provider accessing the site, so providers may not like that.  

Fortunately I've never needed to have my employment verified to see a provider I wanted to see. And now I have lots of references and P411 OKs and white lists, so I hope I never need to provide employment verification, as it might be difficult.

...work with them to get verified by them. If you don't want to do employment verification they will work with you.

In my very early days, I used employment ID once to schedule with a girl.   I wrote a review she didn't like, (I didn't give her a 9 or 10)so she called me at work and demanded it be taken down immediately or she'd show up at my company and tell everyone I was seeing whores, loudly and in the lobby.  

Again, never never never give our your real name in this industry.

I just make sure that everything is correct. I use other methods of finding out if you actually work there and if it's actually you. No provider is going to show up at your job, no high end one at least. Read reviews and back channel and make sure she's not a wadoo.

END OF MESSAGE

I had to provide them with the main reception number of the company I work for.  They called and asked to be connected to me and left me a voice message.  In that voice message, they said they were calling from a certain bank.  I then received a P411 private message asking me to call them back after I retrieved my VM.  When I called them back, they asked me to tell them the name of the bank they left on my work VM.  Once I answered correctly, I was in and no looking back!
