What is with more and more agencies and independents requiring work phone numbers or email addresses?  I understand agencies and independents wanting to be careful.  But City-Girls required that I provide my TER handle, four references and my work phone number.  But since I am an independent consultant, a work phone or address is impossible, which I explained to them.  But it seems to me that more and more are requiring work information.  Do you agree?

are those two places agencies or providers?  You have links?

Dont you know that they are an agency and a huge target for LE? Don't you know that there have very recently been several high profile busts and an active move towards more of them? Are you not aware that some states are actually upping the charges for what we do, especially agency owners? Did you not pay attention to all the trafficking talk lately and how focused the powers that be are on that?

Wow four references are a bit much but I suppose agencies need to take as many precautions as they can to stay safe for the clients and workers. Don't give up im sure there will be plenty of places you can find to accept the things you can provide.

....work phone number, and corporate web site, I am also a realist.  Many gentlemen I visit with are contractors, and cannot provide such information tying them to the company they are currently employed with.  I have enjoyed this profession for quite a few years, and have always asked for a gentleman's place of emplyment, as have many other ladies.  This is nothing new.

You are right on the money Charlotte !
References are just one part of screening. They are not the Gospel according to Mark!
I don't ask for a work number, but I do ask for real world info: first and last name, age, city of residence, occupation, favorite author lol!
smooches from LA!!!!!!

TER  P411 and / or date check and occasionally an independent provider reference or two and have never been turned down for screening.....

If you find that too threatening, then maybe you should find another line of work (but where else can you find a REAL job that pays so well with limited marketable skills?). Also, we are not asking you to take our word for it; we are asking you to take your fellow providers' word for it, and that's what references and P411 OK's are for. If you are not taking anybody's word for it, then why should we take your word for it that you will not use our employment info to blackmail us? I heard enough horror stories that hobbyists being put on blacklist for getting on the provider's bad side and having their reputations destroyed

Yes, we are all stupid with no skills and just need to get another job. YAWN.  

never forget that

You are so full of yourself.  Giving an a TER handle and four current references, some of which I have been using for five+ years,  pretty well ensures that NOTHING is going to happen to the to the young women.

if, as I, "are contractors, and cannot provide such information tying them to the company they are currently employed with. " What am I supposed to do?  

Don't tell me it is because you love having sex with strangers. Can you tell me if you have any degree? And if you do, what is it? History, psychology, social science? Now I have nothing against these fields, but the fact is you can't get a good paying job with this kind of degree in today's economy.

How hilarious that these men don't even understand the words they use. *I* am the entitled one because I want to be safe and pointed out the PLETHORA of risks taken by providers and agency owners every day, but he's gonna bitch and moan and project his own failures onto me because HE HAS MONEY DAMMIT!! Priceless.

High-fiving you from LA. Good article.

Noted.

I might provide personal data to an independent with a stellar reputation and track record whom I really wanted to see, but there is just NFW that I'm going to provide it for an agency.

Even if you gave me your social security number, a DNA sample, a bag of diamonds, and a blood oath sworn upon your firstborn child, I still wouldn't see you. Why? Because your arrogance and sense of entitlement is straight up appalling. If you don't like the way a lady (or agency...whatever the case may be) screens, just move on. There are literally hundreds of ladies out there who don't require your precious work info. Problem solved.  

I think it's rad that City Girls goes to such lengths to protect themselves, their employees, and their clients. It's always refreshing to see someone who values safety over the almighty dollar. Kudos to you, City Girls!

Pitiful,absolutely pitifu

Unlike Turdy, I don't worry about not being able to find someone to see me. Tobi, when was the last time you posted here? Back in March. The GD board is your playground. So someone must have called in the reinforcement, otherwise I doubt you just happened to browse the DC board and found this thread. It wouldn't surprise me one bit if it was Turdy. He is always kissing your ass on the GD board. And he always cries to the admin to have posts removed when he doesn't like what was said about him. I guess you ladies really want to make this thread a train wreck. I thought we were finished after I replied to Sophia, but you ladies just wouldn't quit. Fine, bring it on. It's now at least 3 against me, but I can handle it.

When you were being ridiculed by CPA, GaG, Nicky, Curly and pretty much everyone on the GD board repeatedly, I said nothing. I was hoping you would eventually learn but I guess some people will always remain clueless. You were white knighting (euphemism for kissing ass) so just admit it. My original reply to Charlie had absolutely nothing to do with you; I didn't even mention your name but you chose to chime in. And to say you were not white knighting was simply being disingenuous.

When I feel someone thinks so highly of herself that her well-being is far more important than mine, then I need to question that. I don't like the tone of her post and the big lecture. On top of that, she mentioned she was going to google our real name to find out about us. That was when I said to myself I needed to say something. She can certainly explain much better why she needs to have full name and work info in a non-condescending way.

Actually, I really did stumble upon this thread. DC tends to have some lively conversations. Rod didn't say shit to me.  

You're an asshat. You have no idea who I am. Keep sucking up to these bsc hookers here who you'll never see. You're such a loser. I'll tell Curley you're still a total cheese dick.  

And you wonder why you have no biz?

What ladies do you EVER see of late? That would be none. Shut up.  

And the great thing about this is I can scratch off half my DC to see list thanks for your condescending arrogant attitude. Makes life easy.  

"Third useful degree?" Too funny. Headed to DC next week. Via I95 S. Thanks for taking yourself off my list too.

 And for your information, you unimaginative little twat, I am in the process of getting a THIRD useful degree and have held a decent job since I was legal working age.  
   
 Oh, and PS - it IS a fuckin privilege to see me, or any other girl. That's why you work hard to pay for it. I don't see shitheads who have an entitled attitude because I owe it to the guys without one to not be all man Hatey and burnt out. Appreciation goes many ways, and until you learn how to show it, you're going to keep arguing with hookers on the internet over something as stupid as who she will sleep with.

I see where you're coming from. The short bus dropped you off.  

"Private club?" Too funny. At least agencies never ever get busted and divulge client info. Never ever used agency never will. Thanks for reinforcing that decision. Can't wait to read about your next self immolation.
