If they have a good rep, then I wouldn't be concerned.  They can make up some innocent cover story to check on whether you work there and that's all they care about.

If you are uncertain of the agency, ask on your local board if anyone there knows them and can vouch.  If not, then I'd avoid the risk.

I'm a newbie and, since I love Asian women, contacted a Korean agency here in the DC area. I have no prior references, but they say they can verify me if I provide my firm's name & phone along with my personal work email/phone. They say not to worry, but I can't help but be concerned with their contacting my work. I would be embarrassed if the lady in HR said, "By the way, someone called in with an inquiry about you."

But I really, really would like to setup an appointment with one of their girls.

Is it generally safe? Should I be concerned?

the infamous triad. Notorious chinese gangster, He managed to live on the lamb create a new identity life, wife ids and al. They raided a service he was using and some how finally baged him that way, .  

  I mean are you a notorious ganster on the lamb under a new identity whom need fear if feds raid the joint your new identity will be seen? chances are answer is no your some workin stiff that wants a escort once a week .

 
just remeber you have the right to remain silent and lawyer up , if you ever did get your info exposed at a raid .which is like worst case scenerio.

  Even if you were contacted you do know you have right s and you dont have to talk to any one sans lawyer. You can say i want to call my lawyer, and just keep saying that. nothing else, Only way yud get in trouble is if you allowed them to intimidate you into saying something incriminating about this service, and then you the rat would be the sole reason theyd have a case and be able to further obtain more search warrants,

 
I heard this story from a client he was a lawyer n he said this lady was in same hotel room like a long time, running 5 a day in and out, and how they got her,

was,

 
they began pullin the johns aside comin out, sayin " hey what were doin in there? Cuz we know what she is doin and if you DONT fess up NOw, Your name and picture is goin in the paper too when we take her down."

 
NOW mind you these johns didnt know thier rights or the law and they snitched, This gave probable cause to go in and take her down, And the story goes that she ended up callin this lawyer client of mine from a jail cell and that is basically how they took her down, Simply by having her johns all turn informants on her on the way out because they were sort of scared into it, clearly not knowing that they NEVER have to talk to police with out a lawyer and they couldve just stayed quite and she was i guess states and states away from home as this happened.

 

that is one war story i heard over the years via through a lawyer.

 
                        I am so paranoid i sometimes if i am super p noid i will actually walk clients out and ask to be dropped off some where after, To be 100 percent that never happenes to me,,  

I always have been careful if i am suspicious I may be hot, or things are hot where i am i never let johns leave alone, i make sure i am accompanied them i dont want any ne doing this to me, ..

 
I dont think yu have anything to worry about, unless your like a notorious gangster that you think the feds would have an actual hard on for if they unfolded your info during a raid,  

I think the service has more on the line than you, They are the ones that have to be worried that the actual johns will all turn on em to get off when they if they do get that phone call after a raid and the client list is exosed. They got more to worry about concerning you opening your fat trap to investigators that could call the client list when tryin to build a case.

 

 
    They are the ones thatl be lookin at runnin a house of ill repute, Tens years min fed sentence for that. OR pimpin and panderin. I know a girl that caught that charge in vegas.

                unsure what charges theyd face and how much max time served but they got aot more to worry about than you.

 

just remeber you dont ever have to talk to police and you have a right to remain silent and use that one phone call to call your lawyer you have on retainer or whatevr.

your best bet be to talk to a lawyer that actually knows laws, a criminal defense lawyer. Do you have any associates in law?

I always ask all my law questionsto my lawyer friends not randome hookers n johns but i d honestly suggest askin an actua;l criminal defense lawyer, And educate yourself inside and out on this, Nothing worse than blindly goin into things and not knowing what your gonna do if shit goes down,  

I am lucky because i have had many clients that are good lawyers and been educated by them on so many subjects,  

            over all for me, i like have to call and talk to a non paranoid client friend cuz like you my imagination goes and i begin to get overly cautious . Hell if i told you the amount time i paid for rooms then just got so dam freaked out i didnt take a call!

i get it , it can be dangerous and no one wants to get arrested. or hurt. to really reasure yourself tak to a lawyer, a good one, if your really that concerned get a criminal defense attorney on retainer , just the piece of mind it will give you may help you sleep better at night.

I know i have one the best defense attorneys in boston as close friend and know his number by heart!  

He gave me permission to use his name any time, if i get into drama,  

                            yeah get yourself a criminal defense attorney on retainer and remeber never to snitch. ! call the fuckin lawyer if shit happens! before you open your fat trap , they got more to worry about than you!

unless, of course, Machine Gun Johnny was into livestock.

There are some amazing agencies out there that really do there darn best to keep a clients information safe and protected. But those I have come to learn are few and far between. Remember Governor Spitzer and the whole Emperors Club debacle? In that case the agency came down and so did a high profile client and it essentially ruined his career (although I think he has been trying to make a comeback). Like that, there are so many cases in history where public figures and regular gents who were patrons of one agency or other paid the price even if the majority of clients were "average Joes" due to simply one or two high profile clients that the investigators were going after.

So its best to be safer than sorry and do double the research you would normally do before choosing one agency over the other.

Going through an agency will generally be far more risky than using an Independent escort who has a pristine reputation. The larger the organization, the bigger the risk. An agency is really only as good as its weakest link. If a disgruntled employee comes forward, which they have in the past, the whole agency could come down and with it, your personal info. I think the bigger question is how risk averse are you or maybe a better way to put it is how "bullet proof" are you? Very few people are, but some can also tolerate the psychological stress better than others. Once you give up that info, you can never get it back. It is "out there" forever. I think your better route it to take is the longer road, get verified from a service like p411 and see girls from their membership who are newbie friendly. I am quite certain you will get to see your fair share of Asian women in the market you are in. To recap, if you are a worry wort type, I wouldnt do it. If you are a bit of a risk taker and this wont keep you up at night, than by all means, go ahead. Just remember to always try and use the big head and leave the little one out of the decision making process. Easier said than done. lol

Why would you do such a extreme thing like giving your personal info to sweet talker agency owner?
Because the agency owner is a sweet talker and claims her girls those girls are available right the way?  
Right the way /availability now thing don't worth risking your reputation safety and peace of mind. Blackmail with your personal info is right under the corner. don't take chances like that!
you better off Planning a date ahead of time with an out of state independent adult worker who only ask your TER username or preferred411 references only.

You a smart gentleman Mr Hawk.  
That is exactly the way I would advice the gentleman who like sweet talker agency owner willing to promise him the world to get his personal info!

only for the gents to find out it wasnt true when the bust came? I am not calling you a liar but I am saying that about many, many agencies. Your clients may be be able to attest to the fact that they are given a passcode but they would not be able to attest what you do with their private info after they have relinquished it to you.

You got it right again Hawk!
 I like you a lot already!

you have to assume that anyone to whom you give your info is going to keep it as insurance.  That might not actually be the case sometimes, but you have to assume.

Independent ladies never do anything nefarious with guys info. Its a double edged sword. I agree. Independent gals are a much lesser risk. That said, they're not risk free.

There once was a very very well reviewed gal who saw LE in her home on a first date and had her phone, laptop and desktop seized. She's not been seen near here since.

Actually it is neither.  It is "with the lamb"

Your requests for info Miss agency owner will scare your clients away as they will think you will blackmail them with that private info if they will ever piss you off with their short notice for a date for example.  
You are a stranger for them.
So why should they trust you with their private info?  

That's not a lamb, it's a sheep. If the guy keeps at it like that, though, there will be a lamb.

Hey Bronwie, you actually have it a bit backwards. You know who doesn't screen? LEO, that's who. When they put up fake ads on BP and other sites they just arrest anybody who shows up, so they don't care who you are and have no need to screen. You should be scared of anybody that DOES NOT screen, not those who do. With your attitude, any reputable agency probably does not even want your business.

Exactly why do you and other newbies go around thinking every agency and provider is out to blackmail? You do know how rare this is. The very few cases I have heard about involved indies, not agencies and it involved the customer shorting the provider and the provider threatening to out them if they didn't pay up.  

Even when agencies get busted, the odds of the customer being contacted by LEO are slim. When MC and AC got busted they each had thousands of clients and I never heard of LEO related impacts to anyone but the agency owners and some of the providers.

Just maybe this isn't for you.

Depends on the size of the company. The bigger they are, less the information they give out. In many cases, big companies use a third party for employment verification and you to set it for anyone to verify your employment information.

Publicly held companies will only give very minimal information such as, your start date, your salary etc. Even to get that, they have to have your SS# which you are smart enough not to provide.

From the information they are asking the possibilities are:

They are going to send you an email at your work address and as you reply. Sort of verifies you work there. Same with the phone number, when they call either you answer or it goes to the voice mail and voice mail greeting uses your asking them to leave a message.  

These days, any employer worth a penny and especially in the DC area know they are not supposed to give out personal information because your personal information is protected by the law

that alleviates this conundrum entirely.

 
  then only the third party sees your info.
the unseen partner so to speak, chuckle chuckle oh bein bad is awfully fun aint it?

It's ok if the agency is South Korean. OTH if it's North Korean then "no" -you don't want to end up like Sony, LOL

Humbug!

be the reply if the provider is asking as a company where Mr. John was seeking a loan.

Very true. Some agencies are very good

Honestly, they're too busy to care about the details of our lives. They just want to be safe and stay out of trouble.
