I do just as Swim stated. I just want verification that you are indeed who you say you are...That's about it...I don't go into detailor anything of that nature and I generally call from a bloked number.

work reference?

i'm a newbie, and i think i've found a provider for my "first time", and on her website it says she wants provider references or a "work reference".

Like I said, I've never done this before, so provider references are out...but by work reference do you think she just means she wants to verify that i work where i work, or does she want a personal reference like what one would provide in a job interview?

From my experience with P411 and date-check,

two verification sites, they call you at work to check that you really work there.

They didn't ask my boss if I do a good job, or anything like that.

Re: From my experience with P411 and date-check,

do they make up a reason for calling?

some places you might stir up trbl just by having an anonymous call come in for you? (ie boss might think you're looking for other jobs)

Re: From my experience with P411 and date-check,

On both sites when you sign up there is a text box you where you can specify what the caller will say.

Best way IMHO is to have them call and then when they

ask for you they tell the person answering the phone that they are returning your call.

It's for verification

You will probably not even talk to her on this call.

She will call and ask for you to verify that you really do work there. If the person that answers the phone tells them to wait while she/he transfers the call to you, she will probably just hang up when placed on hold. She now knows that the place she called is your real place of work, and that you are more than likely not LE.

It's that simple.
