Hello, I was looking to sign up for P411; the process of the applying it states to put in your first name, last four digits of an ID number of some sort, and a phone number for contact. Took me second to think about this is it wise to put your actual number & first name would these info be put out on ur profile for everyone to see or just the vetting process? And what if I use those free cell #s to put down instead?

last 4 digits of my ss#, my only cell number and have been a member since the mid 00's, never had a problem with the site.  A lot of my okay's are no longer active, but I still have enough to get by.  BTW, I have also noticed that a lot of young providers are asking for extremely high fees, makes me wonder how many guys they are seeing, as a lot of them have no reviews.  No reviews and asking 500 to 1000 for an hour???  What are they thinking????
LLAP,

Hi Swim, so the phone number you produce is that just for signing up or they put that up on ur profile/so provider can contact you ?

Not only is your info not published, it is deleted after you are approved.  You are given a member number that can be used by esorts to look you up to verify that you are a member in good standing.  They can send a message to you which will send an email alert to your designated email account.  
.
Nobody knows who you are, what you look like, or even how to contact you (except indirectly by the method above.)
.
You have to manually pay every year or six months because they don't even keep billing info.
.
Keeping your info is just a liability for them so they are happy to purge it as soon as possible.

We can only see the information you choose to put on your profile, after you've been approved.

Some people have a phone number on there, but not many.  The ones who do are usually those who prefer to communicate via text rather than Private Messages on P411 or email.

The majority of members I meet do use their real first name in their member ID but not all.  

Unless you have a really unusual first name, there isn't much of a risk by using it, IMO.

 
On said profile, the only constant (required) information which is on every profile is:  

Your Client ID
Your Preferred Name (what you want the ladies to call you)
Your Location
Email Address
Age
Ethnicity (pretty sure this is mandatory but not positive)

That's it.   There are optional details you can provide, if you like.  

There are also a bunch of questions; you choose which (if any) you wish to answer.

 
Please be aware that membership does not guarantee all ladies on that site will be willing to see you with nothing more than your membership.  Some ask for additional screening information.   If you don't like that, just move on to the next one because the vast majority of companions on that site do NOT ask for anything more.

 
I hope that helps!

almost none of the ladies are going to accept someone based solely on the membership and nothing more. Perhaps those with 2 or more okays might get by with no additional validation.

I should have written, not all P411  ladies will see members who have Okays and nothing more, but most will.  

Sorry for any confusion!

END OF MESSAGE

Of those 300+/- dates, I can only remember maybe three or four where the lady asked for more screening information than what was on my profile, of course I started with two okays before I was even approved for membership so I was never just a "basic" member with no okays.

 
I will add, I do try to make it easy for the ladies to screen me, I most definitely have my phone number listed, I do use my real first name in my profile, but my four digit code is simply a random number I use for such things, not my SSAN or the last four of my phone number.  

 
I know on TER a LOT of ladies claim that they won't accept P 411 alone no matter how many okays the guy has, but that simply has NOT been my experience, barely one percent of the dates I have requested have asked me for additional screening information and half of those were agencies not independent providers.

The "other", now defunct, verification site was DateCheck. (They were US based and taken down by Fed LE a few years ago. I changed my email and phone after that happened and started fresh.)  DC also asked for 4 digits from an ID, usually the last four digits from your driver's license. The idea was to have an official piece of paper / ID that you could show to a hostess with the matching digits to prove that the DC account was yours. I did not use "last four digits from DL" with DC. But I did provide 4 digits that I could easily show to match another piece of ID in my wallet. E.g., I could have used "first two, last two" from my library card or "middle four in reverse order" from my gym member ID.  Or 4 digits from a credit card or the serial number on a Dunkin' Donuts gift card.  
.
Does P411 allow hostesses to use the 4 digit code as a way to verify that the person at the door is the P411 member?  Then it should match numbers on a piece of ID to show to the hostess, right?

I seldom had a p411 provider ask for more ID.  In fact I can only think of one and she's closer to this thread than you might imagine.
