Hello Team,

I'll be brief and to the point.

There is a provider on TER that I am very interested in. She has dozens of good reviews.

I contacted her initially through P411, where I have a very strong profile. Then, I started her verification process. Here she wants LinkedIn profile AND picture of me holding drivers license. I don't mind her personally having this information, but I definitely would not want it exposed to the public!  

I am no stranger to verification and understand providers' need for safety, but this is too much.

Would you provide this? Should I just move on?  

What would you do?

If you haven't seen her before, I see nothing wrong with that.  I had to send a picture of myself holding my Driver's License and another form of ID.  I used an insurance card and blocked out the important information.  You can edit pictures on your phone.

No. My position has always been that if my TER experience and Whitelists aren't sufficient then I'll move on. I've been retired for a while, but I would never have shared my Linkedin or other publicly available social media just to meet a provider.

that your alias is a little ambiguous.  We don't know if you are the one who is old, or if you see old ladies.  Is it "the old muff diver" or "the old-muff diver."  I think I know the answer, but still curious.  Lol

 
On to business . . . .  

 
In a nutshell, other can getting an hour of sexual gratification, what good can come from giving a picture of you holding your driver's license to someone who is NOT in a legitimate business?  (That's as politely as I know how to say it.  Lol)  She will have your home address, drivers license number, birthdate, etc., which is a head start on stealing your identity or selling it to others who are also NOT in a legitimate business.    It's a case of evaluating risk versus reward.  This one is a no-brainer, hard-pass for me.  How about you?  

 
If enough customers tell her they are passing because they are not willing to give more than their P411 reference, perhaps she will eventually relax her screening to the point it is tolerable for the average monger.

Sir, you have posted this mumbo jumbo multiple times. NO REPUTABLE SEX WORKER IS STEALING YOU INFO.  
You have said this MANY times, I have yet to see you post any verifiable information that this actually has happened to ANY client attempting to see a reputable provider.  
And I have also asked you multiple times to provide a way to confirm the identity of a protentional client as well as do a background check on them without the info you say is "unnecessary".  
We need to encourage safety for the client and the provider, and your attacks on provider screening tactics without a reasonable alternative is helping no one.

The Point is he is on p411.  p411 members don’t pay $179 just to share RWI.  I won’t comply either.

I moved on!  I am not paying P411 $179/yr only to have to disclose my Real Life Info!  As I understand a providers comfort level for safety, jthey should understand  our need for discretion…..When the two collide it is time to move on!

.. Like DL or a LinkedIn profile. I didn't have to do it for kgirls (strict screening requirements) and have never had a p411 lady ask me for it. What I've been running into more and more lately are deposit requests that I also will not do. I get why some providers ask for one but just like asking for personal info it is a deal breaker for me.

PII in exchange for the opportunity to pay you $$$ for an hour of your time?
No.
Deposit?
No.
Over 1k?
No.

Maybe one day soon there will be no providers left in LA who will accept all my Nos. At that point, I'll be rubbing one out each day to the porn on my screen.

I am completely open on how to verify the safety of a client yet NO ONE has yet to give any alternative options. I also was contacted last week by a gent who had contacted me several times for an appointment. He reluctantly sent his screening info, and *shockingly* when I did his background check he had spent time in jail for kiddie porn. Obviously a giant hell no for me. Do tell me again how I am supposed to confirm that all of you that are constantly posting this same rhetoric on here without any alternatives are helping anyone to make this industry more safe for all parties involved?

Exactly.  
Thoughts of the Ashley Madison debacle of a few years back come to mind. While there is always a concern for safety, we all stand to lose tremendously if certain information were to fall into the wrong hands.

Here’s an alternative: if you want to see the client’s PII, then share yours first. Then we’re both equally at risk. You have our PII in case we no-show or do you harm, and we have yours for the same reason. If we have nothing to worry about then you don’t either.

works for me.  When seeing indies, I give two RECENT provider references and my phone number.  If they are not smart enough to get someone in the sisterhood to cooperate in giving them a reference after I have paid the reference for her time in giving the reference when requested, then I put a line through her name move on to the next name on my list.  For those that have P411, that should be all they need, but I'm not giving my personal info to them either.  Why do providers need to know that real name and personal info of a customer when they are not ready to give out their own personal information?  It's not really "mutual" safety when it only flows one way.  If you are willing to give your home address and drivers license number for the customer to screen you, YOU will be the first I have ever heard of setting a level playing field when it comes to safety.  

 
I don't know how long you have been reading this board, but I go back 15 years, and cannot count the number of tales of woe from customers who gave personal information to a provider and then got doxed or blackmailed afterward. The search button is your friend. I'm guessing you don't WANT to do a search because you want to ignore how often misusing personal information of customers for financial advantage happens.  (You don't have to call me "sir" even though I'm older and more knowledgeable than you about this business.)

No one here is obliged to answer your question.  
To the extent I feel like doing so, I'll submit that the women I've seen all seem quite satisfied with references. Apparently you and some other ladies are not. So be it. Plenty of room for everyone on the bus.

No one is obliged to answer because no one has an honest answer. So clearly you are saying that I am being the unreasonable person here because I should be seeing convicted pedophiles because I should be OK with the fact they have seen another provider and there were no issues? I have taken references instead and also P411, but this incident really made me take pause. Again, I am completely open to suggestions as how to proceed to confirm the safety of all parties involved. But I have zero desire to be in the intimate company of pedophiles, rapists, or wife beaters.

As to screening to protect your safety, I'd suggest you do as many of us do. I don't see any ladies without a sufficient number of positive TER reviews to make me feel comfortable. You can do the same. Read a gent's TER reviews. Verify them with a provider or two. Consider his OKs on P411. Check the blacklists. If anything makes you uncomfortable, decline the date. Nothing is failsafe, but it's worked well for me and a lot of us.
.
That said, if you're filling your schedule at the levels that you prefer and are earning your desired monthly/annual income based on only seeing gents who will provide you with their PII, then if I were you I wouldn't change anything. By analogy, when I was a practicing lawyer I charged one of the highest hourly rates in the metropolitan area where I was based. When prospective clients or other lawyers asked why my rates were so high compared to others I always answered "because people are willing to pay them to see me."

Hello CDL,

Thanks, as always, for being a consistently good contributor to this channel!

The "Old Muff Diver" thing is meant be comical but, yes, I can see how there is ambiguity. My intent is to convey years of experience, thus "old", with this most sacred of practices.

Your point is spot on! Why do they need all of this information? Even if there intent is honest and sincere, the information could be breached, and then in the hands of blackmailers, criminals, etc.

Regards,

TOMD

Hello WIMissScarlet,

You are a reasonable and intelligent person. To this I must nicely add: "There are no guarantees in life." But this seems to be what you are looking for.

I can, and do, read a provider's multiple reviews on TER. Does that guarantee she isn't an ax murderer? No, but she probably is not. [Although one could argue that, were she an ax murder, the victim would not leave a review!]  I submit that recent references from established providers should be enough for you, assuming the reference will respond and confirm that the guy was fun, respectful and safe.

For my part, I will only see women with recent and positive reviews on TER. The reviewers, too, should have a track record meaning they have seen more than one or two women.

Love to hear your thoughts on this.

I didn't say you "have" to do anything. Quite the opposite--I acknowledged that each of us makes her or his own rules ("plenty of room on the bus").  
Do as you will, but please don't claim I said something that I didn't.

on the meaning of the alias.  Now, when I read your posts, I will have a much more palatable image of you in my head with a girl half your age or more.  Lol

 
As is predictable, a PROVIDER is the only one here doubling down on these screening practices being reasonable.  They are not.  Rather than having a situation where there are equal amounts of risk AND safety for both the provider and the customer, they want it to be 100% safe for them while being only 10% safe for you.  I'm glad you agree on this.  Most veteran hobbyists are of the same mind.  It's mostly the newbies that think there is no risk in doing this.  They are the ones who come whining to the board when they get extorted, "She has my address and if I don't pay, she will go see my wife.  What should I do?"  Newsflash . . . . they blew it when they gave their driver's license.  They can either pay the extortionists, go to the police, or come clean with their wife and suffer the consequences, a no-win situation all the way around.

That's why I stick to the AAMP world. They have an intel & safety/security setup that rivals the FBI & CIA.

I can certainly empathize with practitioners in what's a high-risk business, but if they don't want to talk to me, I take it as their house, their rules, and move on.

I give two RECENT references, and the provider I'm going to see can ask them any questions they want.  I have told my refs to answer honestly.  If that's not enough, you don't have anything to worry about, because we will never meet.  See how it slides both ways.  If you want more info, and I say no, the screening problem fixes itself and another lady is getting my money.  It's not complicated.

Re: Happened to Me Last Week
You did not answer my question about how providers are supposed to protect themselves from deranged and dangerous clients like this.
There is no 100% guarantee. Even the service(s) you use to do so-called background checks can be far from foolproof.  Civilian services use publicly accessible information, and cannot access NCIC criminal information, and not all conviction information is publicly accessible. Even if someone has a completely clear background, they could turn around one day, lose their mind and kill someone.

 
Ladies need to do whatever screening they feel is necessary for their comfort, but on the client side the same applies and it's our choice about whether to accept your rules or move on.

 
Personally, if I was in your position and a prospective client had a long history of, say, P411 okays and references that were good, that would give me a very high comfort level.

...who have a problem with PII falling into bad hands.  I have yet to hear (after multiple requests) how you safely handle/store/delete client info.

The "delete" button is not even close to sufficient.  How do "reputable providers" protect all of their devices should they fall into or are breached by hackers/roommates/drivers/mad boyfriends et al?

I'd be willing to bet I've seen posts from at least 10 established providers in the last year or so that have either had their photos highjacked by scammers running bogus advertising sniping deposits or they've simply been hacked...mostly their email where much of the data would be stored.

On this REPUTABLE SEX WORKER mantra that's thrown in our faces constantly;  there's a whole spectrum of providers out there that would be considered as reputable but the question is what challenges do providers face that may cause them to lose any concern about reputation, especially when making bank descends into just trying to survive?  Certainly, there's an element of drug use in the industry.  What could go wrong there?  For some, aging out is just reality.  If the body or mental state can no longer handle doing the work and a career change is in order, the only thing separating the data from becoming an income stream is the conscience of the retired worker.  

Twitter has been very revealing in how clients are perceived when the gals are chatting it up about us.  The animosity and vitriol is really quite remarkable.

....personal contact with clients who might just be despicable sons of bitches, perhaps a career change is in order??  The pedo you avoided was a guy that got caught, the wife beater, rapists etc with track records are guys that got caught.  When you do your background check, you still really have no idea who's showing up on your doorstep.  Yes, you can weed out the guys that got caught.  Your best be is to see guys who have been vetted by other gals in this community.  Chances are if they were treated respectfully, you will also be treated in a similar manner.

Your best option is the one that has been there for decades.   References and referrals.
