I'm Alexa, I am based in NYC and originally from SFC. Nice to meet ya. 
I'd like to address a few of your questions. First, pertaining to screening. I, for one, absolutely accept work verification and have various methods whereby my clients can provide satisfactory professional info. P411 is not a "screening" website, meaning its ill advised by the sites operator to be used as such by providers. It's a tool, to be sure, but not to be relied on solely.
About backpage, I actually use the site and I am both reputable and real. So with backpage, like any other adult directory type of site, just do your due diligence. Use the tools like google that are readily at your disposal to research a bit and cover your own bottom. To that end, it is good for you to understand that many ladies have a no review policy. But even these ladies can be "researched" and found to be -the real deal- or a sham. You seem like a smart cookie and I'm sure you'll have lots of fun playing with the adults.
Always be safe and have fun.
Alexa xoxo

So, if somebody is a member on RS2K or p411, then those two sites know the legal name of the person and they know they have a job that is not working for vice. They ARE screening sites.
I am comfortable seeing a new member of one of the sites for an in call. I do let somebody know I'm meeting with them since they are new and they don't have an actual reference. I also insist that they go to my website and read my etiquette and screening pages so hopefully they will avoid a lot of common newbie mistakes.
Some people will verify the individuals employment. I think the only safe way to do that is to get a copy of their ID to make sure you're not looking at some other persons information. Unless the email address and/or phone number on the business website you are using to screen them with is the same they used to contact you with. Plus, hopefully having this information, and a copy of their ID, will hopefully be enough to deter them from committing some crime against you (rip off or rape) or being a no call no show (SO common with Newbies with no reference. More than 50%). I used to do this but so many people were no-shows that now, if they want to see me as a newbie, they must join P411 or rs2k. I'm not going to waste my time on somebody who is probably not going to show up anyways.
I let them know that inhale many reviews that say I'm safe to see. I want them to have fun and come back to see me again. They can trust me with this information. I say the same when it comes to getting a deposit for various reasons.
If they are unwilling to join one of the screening sites they can always go see another provider first and come back and see me when they do have a reference.
I hope this clears it up for you a bit.
Feel free to visit my website and read the etiquette and screening pages for my detailed information I wrote to explain all this to newbies. I think you might find it helpful, too.

Fair enough. 
For me, p411 may be a screening website -for names sake- but I treat it as a "screening tool" and not my sole means in verifying a client prior to committing to a date. Oks and a profile on any of these sites, alone, do not suffice for screening where booking my time is concerned. Its great that gentlemen take these precautions for themselves and they are great steps. But if I am going to meet someone in a very intimate setting and personal capacity. I need to know who I will be sharing time with. I cannot rely on p411 for my ultimate safety and levels of comfortability.
Every lady is different and this is just my way of doing things.
The important thing is we all respect eachothers methods, play with adults-like adults and stay safe!
Happy Thanksgiving ya'll.

I understand and respect the need for screening by providers but am wondering about alternative methods other than referrals (not available for newbies) and P411. How about professional licensure lookup online or bouncing a benign email from a work address? In the age of Google nobody can really hide from themselves. Also, I know that backpage is not recommended due the risk of the non- reviewed( which I sympathize with), but how about those with no reviews for years who seem to still be in the business? Is that not also risky as their site/name could have been commandeered for Leo purposes? So much to learn!
A lot clients don't like to write reviews on professionals in illegal business on sex boards.. do research on professionals.All websites promoting illegal business.
