Phooey to the first agency I tried.

It's been a long time since I visited escorts. The few I've seen were from BP. I mostly go to massage parlors. I decided I wanted to go the agency route with escorts every so often. With no references, I thought signing up for an account with P411 would be enough, or mostly enough, to pass the litmus test. I've been a member there for about 6 months - they verified my job and I believe I sent my DL and some other ID. I've also been a long time member of TER, but few reviews since, like I said, I've been going to mostly MPs the last few years.

A reputable agency just got back to me after I decided I wanted to see one of their providers. What would you do? I hate having so much personal info out there and I'm inclined to look for other avenues. A selfie with holding info? They asked for a review site where I'm active and I gave them a well-know site where I wrote several dozen reviews, albeit of MPs. Anyway, here was their response to my verification request:
=======
your 411 [comment - I'm a member 6 months] is relativly new with 0 okays, we can photo and work verify you

3 photos  
1 clear copy your DL
1 selfie you holding it
1 selfie with the day's current date written on a piece of paper  
cell# you will be using
any review site handles
your work# and the best time to reach you there

Just try another agency that's more reasonable.  Or see a girl in your area through P411 who doesn't require OKs.

If you really want to use agencies, try seeing a couple of independents first to get a couple of okays.

Except most quality independents screen even harder than agencies do.

END OF MESSAGE

As I was writing my original post, I realized that it was idiotic to even consider such a request. I don't really think the agency expected compliance since the request was onerous and intrusive. When I told them to take a hike, the response was to come back when I have a couple of references. Apparently, they can afford to be cautious to an extreme. Good for them; I don't begrudge them. However, I wonder, what the point is of joining p411 and going through their verification process, something I wasn't crazy about either.

Yes...they did expect compliance. This has become normal screening practice for agencies and independents alike. Which has started many battles in these forums, with those refusing to give any RL  info vs. those who will. I can tell you that I have had to provide RL info. As I've progressed, screening with some has become a little less intrusive, some more so. It really depends on the agency or provider, and their modus operandi.  You may get lucky and find a provider who is willing to absorb the risk. Otherwise,  you'll either have to bite the bullet, or give up all together on the idea.

It becomes much easier the more okays you get and more credibility that you obtain.  Once you get a few okays from established ladies you don't have to jump through as many hoops.  Get some okays from prominent ladies and you rarely have to do anything beyond sending an appointment request.  For most ladies screening isn't linear or the same for all gents.

That type of overly intrusive screening demands is hardly "normal" and only an idiot would go to such extremes for the opportunity to pay for pussy.

 
Luck has nothing to do with this. To the OP, all you have to do is look for P 411 providers who advertise as "newbie friendly" there are several in virtually every major market. Once you get a few okays these issues will be a thing of the past. I have booked hundreds of sessions through P 411 and have only been asked for additional screening info in maybe 1% of the time

Yes...I did read it. And I'm not telling him to submit to their demands. I don't have a P411, so don't know how that works....but it doesn't seem to be helping him much at this point. I read your post too...
" Find a P411 newbie friendly provider".  That works...I guess. Once again... don't have it, so don't know. But the idea of having to pick a girl off screening requirements vs. her actually being appealing wouldn't interest me. Not saying that there might not be some really fantastic ladies out there that would fall under that umbrella. Since I don't have P411, I don't know what's out there.
Obviously, I get why you would be adamant in not giving out personal info. I get why anyone wouldn't want to. So I'll rephrase... " In my situation, I've found that having to give up RL info has been my only in with any agency or provider." Not to the extremes of what the OP was asked for, but legitimate info. Otherwise...I would still be looking at BP, and getting subpar services for my hard earned coin. I didn't even know what TER or P411 were when I started out in this. And I'm damn sure you've forgotten more about this than I'll ever know...
So to the OP.... the expert has spoken, so you have good solid advice there. That's not sarcasm... that's me acknowledging that I don't know squat.

I had same case like you.I build my credibility by joining P411,then i searched providers who can see me ,i was rejected like 20 times,before i saw one,got her OK,saw another provider where she is wellknowned ,got her ok,like 5 oks i accumulated.Now i use P411 and TER for research and engagements,i stay away from agencies,go independent minded girls.

I tried 2 providers on P411 whose description said 'newbie friendly.' They must have a different idea than me what that means - the requirements I quoted in my original post were from one of those agencies. And I got an almost identical response from another agency that stated 'newbie friendly.'  I didn't even know they were agencies until they contacted me after I expressed interest.

Bottom line - there is no way in heck that I'm giving up that kind of info to anyone unless they pull my eyebrows out. In this day and age of data theft, I don't trust anyone regardless of their intentions -  let alone questionably legitimate agencies, to properly safeguard my data.

I will continue my search and eventually I'm sure I'll come across someone who will take a modicum of info. Besides, I have choices which I'm mostly OK with. Some of the BP hookups are pretty OK -). And I can live with the upscale NYC massage parlors.

To be clear....I was never suggesting that you go out of your comfort zone as to what info you're willing to surrender. Just that it seems to be what a lot want. I've had as little as giving my name, age, and race ( along with my TER handle) to having to send a picture of my DL, and everything in between. But not once have I been able to maintain true anonymity when screening with a worthwhile provider. I've never been asked for everything you were asked for, but 1 picture of your license or 3, not a lot of difference. Just be careful.... anyone too willing to see you with very little verification, could be out to give you some wrist accessories, rather than a memorable time.

Yes at p411 There are ladies  that see NEWBEES,  I'm  one 😉

Yes that is great advice.Wrist accessories...That is why the fake review from bonefish6969 I cannot get removed made no sense.Like the one call system like who even does that?most girls are stupid enough to be the two call system.
