I am new here.  I’m about to set up my first date with the agency. They require to provide my home address to confirm on my initial email. I just don’t feel comfortable to give all the personal information at my first date.  I don’t want to give out a fake one either.  I read some even ask for work no# for screening purpose.  Again, I don’t want the whole office know I am going out with a provider for a date. Do they actually who they are on the phone if my employer answer (just curious)?  Is there an exception or other way to going around? Now you can tell I am kind of nervous.  I understand the purpose of screening is just an extra protection for both party, however I don’t want to put myself at risk. Any idea what I should do or what you guys did in the past.
I heard a lot of good commend on Mystique, unfortunately I can’t find any FAQ on their site.  The rate that they advertise (3xx), is that a final cost or just the agency fee alone? Any other hidden cost beside that? (I sound like buying my fist car here.) Does anyone have bad experience with them? It is better to hear both side of the story before you get into this hobby.  If my personal information get leak out or the provider get into some sort of trouble or busted for whatever reason in the future, Could it point back to me since they have all our info on his/her computer.  How long do they keep our info in their system? I feel is a dump question to ask.  I am just here to think of all the worst case scenario.  Please don’t guest me wrong.  Any guys here have been in this hobby for a while, you welcome to make any commends. Anything or advice to watch out on my first date would appreciate.
Thanks

1st off...

AZMystiques is one of the 3 agencies Inever feel bad a bout reccomending. No hidden suprises of any kind. The pricing is "flat fee" with nothing hidden and the pictures are very accurate. As a general rule screening is very discreet and professional...if you dont have ref then you need to bite the bullet with someone. I dont believe any of the agencies keep your "real" info....I'm "azhacker" to them and they have a yahoo email. Once your referenced then your "personna" becomes your identity within the hobby.BTW if your looking at AZM....Jaqui Jaqui Jaqui....Tara is sweet as well however...

I'm not sure if I am the agency you are talking about, but I remember sending someone an email the other day about this so I'm thinking it might be you.  In any case, you don't need to publish your address in an email, but if the companion is going to your home, we will need to know where you live!  You can just tell us over the phone, no problem.  If you are looking for incall, we would need 2 references, something I am assuming that you don't have since you are new. There are ways around this though.  After your first visit with us, you are free to use our incall any time you wish.  You don't have to ever give your address that way.  Please don't hesitate to call me directly on my personal number with any questions.  480-226-4300.

Thanks and I hope you decide that Club TLC is right for you!

I have never had to give out my address...Only my # and email address. All the girls on here are reputable...Most want a provider reference. They have to be carefull too. There are some on here that do not req a ref. Like..Julie McCoy...she is on ero-arizona.com

As a newbie it's tough, but I would never give out my personal info.  There are ladies you can see who don't require that info.  Once you have seen a couple, you've got references.  It may take a little more work at the outset, but if you don't have to give out any personal info, you can sleep easy at night.  My personal perference is to NOT use an agency.  TER has all kinds of info on women who are indies.  Also, contact some of the regulars here to get more info.  

I've been in the hobby 20 years and have never given out any personal info or shown an ID.  I crave the anonymity more than the "encounter".

FWIW..

I prefer independents as well, some have easier references...some dont. Since he mentioned AZM I gave him 411 specific to them...I see no reason to trash a quality agencywith blanket statements however.

I stick with Indy's. As I have said before, why pay a middleman?

I flat out refuse to give any information. If the provider declines, I will just go with another. How do I know that Sherrif Joe is not on the other end? As we all know, he monitors this site, as well as many other LE.

1st off this isnt an indie vs agency debate...

2nd the gals un a greater risk regarding LE and other bad possibilities and I have no problem with them taking reasonable steps to protect themselfs...

3rd Your alot more likely to get caught up in either a sting or a scam from someone who doesnt reference you in some fashion IMO...
