A few weeks ago, I got screened by a helper for a provider. I told her my RS2K information, and out of nowhere, she asks for my TER handle. I provided it not really thinking about it, but quickly realized that I connected my real name with my TER activity. There is nothing wrong with my TER reviews or anything, but I feel insecure knowing my name is directly tied to my TER account, and in the hands of someone who I don't know if I can trust or not trust. I didn't even hear back from her after that, so it was all for nothing.
Yes, real name is required for rs2k. It's really more about the fear of her carelessly scribbling my name and TER handle on a piece of paper, and not bothering to shred it or be discrete.
I'm sure the screener filed it away somewhere. There are people with the same exact name walking and breathing all over the world. IF it comes back to haunt you, you can always deny it and state your identity was stolen a few years ago ... Mine was, and someone tried to take out a $200,000 mortgage in my name! The loan officer knew something was fishy when the name given does not 'match' her and the authorities were summoned to haul her butt to jail.
I'm going to assume you are not a highly visible political figure, and she is not running a high profile escort agency. So, on the remotely off-chance that she carelessly scribbles your name and TER handle on a piece of paper, does not shred it, and someone finds it?
This still falls into the category of " no one give a shit".
I thought the point of RS2K and other verification services was that your real world info stayed with them and did not get passed along to the provider. Can someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
can read the the person's reviews and get an idea of what they like and don't like.
On the other hand, it could be somewhat restraining in terms of being totally candid about writing a review since many clients fear offending a provider and getting some kind of grief about it.
Aside from the fact that no one accepts it in my area. You do provide your real first and last name. Also the city you live in. I could see how this can be a big problem to a guy with a wife and kids. I myself have no reason to fear being outed. I'm sure I am the exception though.
So what do you give to the provider? Have I been giving out my name and location for nothing? There was no account number given to me. The lady who encouraged me to get it used that info to verify me. BTW She is now here on TER. See if you can guess who she is.
When trying to book with a girl that uses RS2K, you're supposed to provide her with the phone number you registered with RS2K - that's all you need to do. The girl shouldn't be asking for additional info, has RS2K has already asked those questions, which is the point of her using RS2K.
Why would she then also ask for your TER id? How did she know you were a member on TER or ever even heard of it? TER is a place for me to post reviews, and make comments concerning the Escort lifestyle. To my knowledge it is not a screening site, so if an escort asks for my TER id I say "What's TER?"

You were saved by one big headache, one good loan officer...... Thank goodness there are still some good ones out there.
Most of us providers are not saving your ID's to use them in a bad way. I believe this thread is more paranoid then anything.

Also thank goodness for the detective who called me to tell me. For his efforts, I sent him a box of assorted Stan's Donuts, its a cliche gift, but it showed I cared enough to send it.
I'm just trying to understand this whole notion of how your real name is tied to your TER account.
That being said, it all comes down to you trusting her, but the smarter thing would be for you to change the method by which your real name is attached to your TER account. I mean, TER has your real name if you are paying with a credit card for VIP. But unless your actual real name shows up for some reason, I guess I'm not understanding how your real name is tied to your TER screenname.
Unfortunately it looks like your attempt to purchase VIP membership has failed due to your card being declined. Good news is that we have several other payment options that you could try.
