All the provider needs to do is confirm that John Doe works there not necessarily talk to you.

It seems as if one of the primary means of verification for newbies is to call the prospective client's company main number.  What happens if your workplace doesn't have a main number?  Where I work, there is no central number to call that can be forwarded to my desk.  If you want to get in touch with me, you have to call my desk number.  So, what other kinds of verification are available in situations such as this.  Thanks.

And you can get P411 to verify you without a workplace call if you talk to them first.  Of course, some girls also want to make that call, too.  So you just have to explain the issue and work with her to provide other verification that works for her.  It's all good, because you are then safer from LE, too.  And real providers, especially well-reviewed ones, do not blackmail their clients as it would ruin their business fast.

lots of guys are retired, self-employed...   offer to submitt alturnative verification.  I did, worked fine & never looked back.

Exactly!  P411 has an 800#.  You can talk to them and arrange an alternative way to verify.  But individual gals may also want to check employment,  though you can still work out alternatives with them, too.
