I'm looking to become a first-time hobbyist. I've upgraded to VIP here, checked out reviews, looked over the newbie board (ummm... here) gathered most of the basic information (Go with a well reviewed provider, make sure reviewers have multiple reviews, etc.)
After checking out multiple providers I've narrowed the search down to two girls.
One of them is a sure thing, multiple reviews, multiple reviewers, everyone pretty much agrees she's awesome.
The other girl only has one review but the reviewer has multiple reviews and both her site and the review seem genuine.
I would like to go with the second girl since she's more my "type" but she insists that all customers verify themselves through SexoPlex. I was just wondering if anyone has heard of this verification service, good, bad or indifferent. I don't think this is a scam, but with only one review for this girl it very well could be.
Do a search on verification sites here..You will find only three mentioned..
Choose the one that works for your location
One review and sending you to an unknown site for verification should raise a red flag

The site is nothing more than a scam. The only thing they want is your CC information. Once you give it to them they will give you a cheap trial 7 days for $ 3.95 or so and then they will charge your CC $ 70.00 a month or so as a membership fee to view nothing but porn unless you cancel. However you got to understand that it is almost impossible to cancel.
The girl / guy will get a cut like 40% of the fee you pay every month. Also once you get your verification "membership" and you email it to her, the "provider" will mysteriously disappear never to be heard from again.
The only reputable hobbyist verification sites that I know of are RoomService2000, Preferred411, DateCheck and MyFastPass in MN. Any other "verification" site and you are on your own.
Also every provider worth her salt will always have multiple options to screen you and for you to verify yourself. I would be leery of any "provider" who insisted on only one option.
Regarding the one review she has, assume it is a fake that slipped through the TER cracks. The reviewer who has several reviews, well he is probably the guy posing as a "provider" and has set up additional "provider profiles" that he has reviewed to aid his scam.

Nothing new, but stay far, far away.
Do not, I repeat, do not give scamsters like this any CC information or you will be spending the next couple of months fighting with your credit card company trying to get the charges reversed.
I'm sorry this happens. If I were a hobbyist I would never ever pay for a service with my credit card.
Ease of access never guarantees great service. Do your homework, stick with well reviewed by several reviewers and bring cash. I do accept prepaid credit cards from folks I know. First time..........no.
Stay safe folks.
