I've started seeing this on more than a few ladies' websites as part of their screening info:

-Email a photo of your ID with your name, photo, age, and expiration date clearly shown (the rest can be blocked out), along with a photo of you holding your ID next to your face. I’ll ask to see your ID when we first meet.

Seems to be the "higher end ladies" charging $1000 or more per hour.  I guess their are schmucks that will go along with it.  Maybe they figure a lady that is that "high end" would never abuse the information.  I wonder if they would change their minds if they knew the lady was charging $40-0/hr under a different name last year.

You just give me another example of why to stay away from the type of ladies you mention.  The Twitter Twat, some call them.

If you don't want a gun, don't buy one. You don't want an abortion? Don't have one. You don't want to go through a more in depth screening process? Don't contact the providers that require it. Simple.

Robert.  I can't even guess how many providers over the years "demanded" more info that I would give.  I simply draw a line through their name and contact the next one.  There is no providers that I HAVE to see.  There are also more providers than I will ever see in my lifetime, so the disqualification of a few along the way because they were unreasonable with their screening has had no effect on me at all.

You mean Miss Riley Sinclair? But hey, you get a 75% discount on the second hour. I'm surprised she does not require a recent passport and set of fingerprints. Yes, you can read profile and just move on, but there I that twinge of regret that you'd like to see her, price not an issue, but invasiveness of screening is a dealbreaker. Sucks.

A gentleman I recently met told me he'd been ripped off by someone who required a deposit of $500 and then cut off communication as soon as he sent it.

He had not done any research prior to sending the money.  After she stopped responding, he did, and found multiple reports that she (or they) had done the same thing to others.  

 
I told him he should report her too and he said no because he had sent a scan of his ID (front and back) a face pic and a pic of him holding his ID up to his face.   He was too worried about repercussions to report her scam.    

 
One of the reasons he hadn't done any homework was because of her screening requirements.   He figured if she required that much, she must be ok.

 
Newbies frequently tell me this too; the fact I require real-world info is reassuring to them.  They think it automatically means someone is legit.  

 
Unfortunately, scammers are playing on that and likely using their victims' real-world info as leverage, or at least an unspoken threat, to keep them quiet.

Sounds like he made the mistake of accepting the rationale that the ladies on this site that require real world information and deposits provide.  

A provider in the state required a selfie, DL information, and a the local newspaper front page in the selfie.

She was louring, BBFS was advertised, condom optional.  Photos and movies taken during each session, mirror walls and ceilings in her play palace.  

She hosted in her home, in a small town.  Her neighbors got suspicious, which led to her being busted.

Cops found a safe in her house.  Inside was a ledger containing names, photos, and finaincial contribution for each of her john's.  Hundreds of thousands of dollars were in the safe as well.  

She and her husband got prosecuted for tax evasion, prostitution, money laundering.  

Fifty of her clients were outed in the press, ten were prosecuted.

BEWARE and be CAREFUL out there.

Remember there was a guy on here a couple of weeks ago who assessed providers' trustworthiness by how hot and sexy their photos were?  P.T. Barnum said it best, "A sucker is born every minute."
