Screening is a really complex issue and there's no one way to do it. Probably the easiest way to do it is to join P411. All clients are screened by them so you don't have to worry. Many girls feel that's enough screening but others go farther. It depends on where you're providing. Some girls also require references from other providers, or "White Lists" from TER. You'll need to fill in more details about your circumstances for anyone to help you with additional suggestions.

on the provider only board. Doesn't seem to be many who post to the GD board anymore...
Im sure providers still frequent TER, at least in that little niche...

Screen Mongers

Hello Briana and welcome to TER!  I'm in the Bay Area...

 
There are two types of mongers --) full disclosure and annonymous.

 
I'm a full disclosure monger myself.  I can send a selfie and I have a high profile on Google.  The purpose of screening IMO is to AVOID LE and BSC monger entanglements.

 
My bro, Rocketbro, is fully anonymous.  He says if you're not willing to divulge your true identity, then why the fuck should he?!?!  He has many bookers who are willing to vouch for him.

 
Good luck!

YMMV

Apparently you posted this on Another board and admin moved it here to the newbie board. This is the proper board for questions like this, but if you don’t know they moved the post, you may not even find it.  

If you do make it back here, I suggest reading the self help manual (TER instruction manual) at the top of the page for a lot of general guidelines.  

As to screening, you have to find what works for you and what makes you feel most comfortable. There are different ways to screen, and many providers use multiple methods. As querty mentioned, some providers ask for real world info from the client (real name, job info, etc.), And some clients gladly give that info, however many clients will not give up any real world info, and you have to decide if that is something you will require or if you are able to screen by other methods. Many providers use references from other providers. There are also screening sites like p411 (mentioned by inicky earlier) and provider only sites, blacklist sites and even google. While p411 can be a good screening site, you can’t just “join” p411. You need to be “invited” by client members. (As mentioned by Lester above).  

Honestly it is better to discuss screening methods by back channel (email or Private message) and not on a public board.
Hopefully a provider (like Debra Hollander) will see this post and give you some advice.

Good luck and come back to the newbie board any time for more questions.

I just sent you a Private Message here, so you can either respond or email me directly for any help or advice.  

The most popular method is via references.  Ask them to give you the names of a couple ladies they've seen.  

Some providers will only give references for up to a year, or 6 months, or only if they've seen him more than once so don't be surprised if you get those sorts or responses.  Also, many ladies won't answer at all, especially if you're not established.  

One option is to ask the client to reach out to the ladies and ask if they will provide a reference for him and tell them you will be contacting them.    

Next.... Look them up online to be sure the phone number or email the client gave you matches what's in her site/ads and they really are a provider, not just a name the client made up.   Then send her a message, introducing yourself with a link to your site/ads so she knows you're legit too.   I can provide a "Reference Request" template.  

 
As mentioned above there are many options but that is a very popular one.    I wish you the best of luck!!

There is no one way to do it. Even if you're on P411, what if a guy's last OK was 2 years ago, do you know what to do next? When I first began, I hired an excellent screening pro. Then, I learned from her. Please email me for more detail as I can't post here.

Warmly,
Callie
