not just the valley but ever where , especially dc and miami , chicago etc. LE teagets them more. also many hobby sites went down ( stl,nm,etc) best to stay with verified providers and game players. there are plenty of us well verified ladies around,... if you take the time to look for what you want.

OK, posting under an alias raises people's suspicions, but I am a member and LT hobbyist (who's also posted under this alias before).

I have been impressed with some of the ladies who work for local agencies, but I dare not call them or email them.

Why?

Because of the busts of previous agencies in the Valley.

Remember those? Agency hard drives were culled for email addresses and phone numbers and worse names...that LE ended up posting on the web. Which stays FOREVER.

Have agencies learned not to keep such information? Or is that simply a risk a hobbyist takes when engaging with an agency?

Any thoughts?

I worked for an agency in 1998 there 6month policy of dumping files on was done for Hotel guests. They never kepted records in their office because in the 1990's most Yellow page agencies  engaged in the Call Forward practice to fool LE. They never even used PC's then just note books at a secure location. Now in 2001 the last agency I worked for kepted data online..due to Credit card charges,payrolls,etc. Those firms Never had any LE drama thank god...most upstarts today are always having issues. Rip-offs,greedy owners and god knows what...The big outfits today are becoming more and more like Cartels..Bad for the trade..

Thanks for responses. I knew I should have asked respondents, though, to not post "independents are better" responses because one may run into the same lax data retention standards with them, too. No offense is meant, btw.

It would be interesting to hear from an agency, though they may not want to discuss such things on an open board.

I think, though, it is smarter to just avoid agencies.

Before I became an escort.. ( Before my dancer days.. Before my massage online sessions ) When I was just "legal " - -.. I worked at escort agencies as a phone op. I never knew this world exsisted. I saw so many women on drugs who lived out of hotels and made 800 plus a night.. but were so strung out on drugs , life, etc they worked just for the money to pay the hotel and to get drugs. These girls were hustlers, And knew what to do to get what they wanted out of a man. There was upcharge and Cash N Dashes. The house took half and what ever after recieved 20 percent of the tips. Things have changed a bit in a way of verification because all we did was call 411 to verify info and send the girl on her way. Now, Its all on a computer and they save the info.. they do not delete it.

So , I say go with an independent not because I am one.. BUT because I know how they work.

Thanks for all the feedback. Doesn't seem like agencies are worth it. Too bad, because there are some ladies I would really like to meet. I'll listen to my brain instead of some other parts and stay away.

Do not rule rule out  Az indulge  they have been been around through thick and thin  and weathered the worse  and are still standing  and I have heard only great things from my clients that have used them
