I'm  sure this question comes up a lot... I get why providers screen.. and I think its smart.  On the same note I'm giving the very information that could ruin me.  I guess my question is have any of you heard horror stories about providers messing with people once they have the information?  Help me feel good about doing this.

Trust me, most of us delete it after we've verified you.
Only give your info to reviewed, reputable providers and you'll be fine.
So long as you don't commit any cardinal sins to get blacklisted (shorting the envelope, not paying, NCNS, etc.), your information is 100% safe with us.

They have as much to lose, and maybe more, than you do.  Yeah, sure there are bad apples out there, but if you do your research properly, the risk is minimal.

We screen for various reasons besides LE, we want to feel comfortable with you and in my case particularly, I stay away from people who I can run into on my private life for the obvious reasons.
Yes, there are bad apples that have ruined it for us, stalking guys, blackmailing them, threatening to out them etc.. The higher end sane providers will more likely have a lot to loose if they engage into this type of behavior (kids, assets, jobs, licenses and much more) because we do have a separate life outside this wonderful world, we go to school, tender to our family, volunteer in the community and some even occupy high ranked positions in the public/private sector etc... My advice to you is to stick to well reviewed providers here on TER who are professional, responsible and discreet. No need to take unnecessary chances with the "hidden gems" that probably don't have much to lose anyway...

Most however simply want you to give them the screening info...show up and have a good time...and go away with no issues.

...name and telephone number or whatever information you give them.  Once it's there, your name can be Googled and you will be linked to prostitution.  IOW, you're fucked, and not in a good way.  You'll have a tough time explaining how your name got on that list "by mistake."

Others said some providers are "bad apples."  Yes, but there are other providers who are simply "BSC" - Bat Shit Crazy.  They may blacklist you for sneezing, thinking you are giving them the flu.

Avoid BSC providers by doing your homework and only seeing well-reviewed providers.

I've read this whole thread so far and speaking as Im still doing researching let me ask you fellas this - what should I or any other new provider do? do you expect all new girls to risk getting busted/ something horrible happen to us because we have no rep? what is the best way to handle being fresh but still wanting to play it safe?

Yes, I realize that screening must be done for the benefit of both providers and hobbyists.  But I don't follow the logic behind the proposition that screening info disappears.

I would play it safe from the start.  Slowly build your reputation, know that going in that business might be slow and plan for that.  Why be reckless and risk everything?

a young MILF I'd seen once, sent me an email, "Who was I & should she keep my email address?"  Clearly she had no other information to connect the dots.  I'd seen her once and had no plans to return & that is what I told her.

SOME will give information, some won't.  "All the guys in this thread" hardly represents the body of potential clientele.  I am having a hard time understanding why you are lead to believe that new providers are expected to be okay with bypassing the screening process.  No one has mentioned that.  You are responsible for your own safety.  If a potential client does not want to provide you with what you need to feel safe, then thank him and go on your merry way.  

I certainly didn't say that I wouldn't give you or any gal screening info.  I commented that some gals will use that info inappropriately.  And that most gals never destroy the screening info.

Just wondering if anyone has had a well-reviewed provider blacklist him for no good reason, i.e. some squabble between provider and the hobbyist or some perceived issue on her part).

and abuses happen from even the highest rated providers, I've seen ladies with 9.85 averages go completely ape shit over a 9/9 review, and you can do a message search to see the lengths that some will go to , to get an 8/8 review removed that will knock them out of the top 10.

My advice is to be VERY, VERY careful of what Information you give to even the highest rated provider if you have anything to lose if you end up in a disagreement with her.

No, we're not. Obviously, if we see you again, most of us will remember you and who you are. If I see a client more than once, I save their email to my contacts but as far as saving all your employment info, etc., it goes away when I clean my inbox. But even when I do that, it will stay in Gmail. If something bad happens, I WILL be able to access it. What I'm saying is that there is no little black book, there is no database unless you're running an agency. It's incriminating for us, too, to keep a list of clients.
 

I doubt providers do this however i have read blacklist boards tho and some list ur contact info (what little they got) and list that your not willing to be screened if you put up enuf resistance and piss them off. but me personally i wouldn't list someone as someone no one else no one should see. if i provider doesnt get back to you id just chalk it up to something like there was something she saw didnt like and decided not to see you . you seem like a polite responsible guy so i dont think u have anything to worry about

Signed,

Trust has to come into play sometime.  A well reviewed, or reputable provider is never going to do anything that will hurt her business.

I read the whole string and my first reaction was "I guess most of these guys have had good experiences", then I see some that had the same thoughts I did.
I get that this is a risky game all the way around and in the end I'm responsible for what happens..  I think some of you guys who think giving a provider your information is safe might be a little wishful thinking.  I think in the most cases these providers don't really care about your information after they screened. But they would be crazy to get rid of it..  Also God forbid one gets caught and decided to share her screen book with whomever busted her.  Maybe since I'm a newbie I'm a little more paranoid but there is no way I'm giving my name and even worse my employment information to a provider.  I have talked to a very high rated provider with many many reviews who is ok with talking with me over the phone and getting comfort level.  I will just go with that.  I realize I have no frame of reference but I'm telling you guys that sending and email with your information is crazy.  It never goes away....But you are all big boys.  Thanks for the replies I do appreciate it and be careful out there.

Then this hobby is not for you. Stick to the street walkers that don't ask for information and get ripped off. Idiot!
