What can a client do to make sure that a provider is not L.E.? We all know that providers may check identification and call a customers employer or check his pay-stub to make sure he is not a cop, but what can we do? I have found a new provider close to me, but I don't want to get burned. I want to know what I can do before any money is exchanged to determine that the provider is not a cop and is F.S. ?
  I evaded L.E. a couple of years ago, but the word game and hand gestures were a pain in the ass. There has to be a better way. Please help.

Far as I know, the LE most of the time comes after providers far more than clients in SD. If you’re somewhere crazy like OC that’s a different story.  If youre worried about it then you could always go with someone, out of sight of course because if the provider saw it would probably freak her out. Have your friend discreetly watch for any unusual activity because you know they will not let a female cop in there all alone.

But really there is no way to make sure. Its not like you can screen providers and get a work number to call them at.  There is always some risk in going with an unknown from both sides. But you’ve been in this enough Gumby you should just be able to trust your gut. Hopefully its not a provider who directly asks for the donation and wants you to hand it to her, expects it up front, and counts it right in front of you. I cant believe there are providers who still do it like that for reasons of their own discretion, but I guess there are. I think youll be fine though, you’re a veteran, you know what you’re doing and would know what feels wrong. Good luck
