Have been in this field close to 10 years and have done what providers request as to screening and references.  However, I recently had a hiccup in the process.  I should say it was a provider-specific. type  She requests that I send her a selfie with my drivers license holding it NEXT TO MY FACE *.    She is a reputable and well reviewed lady.  However that raised another question.  Are most gentlemen comfortable doing that?  I consider myself an average ordinary Joe (or John if you will) and nothing special about me, but I can never imagine a senator or a chief executive / celebrity agreeing to this condition.  Imagine a hacker or some authority monitoring communication and next thing photo is out in public or being sent to the wife!  

Don't ever do that. You never know where that data could end up.

So you're not ever blackmailable(pimp, boyfriend ..etc) or arrestable(for even that initial call by LEO or she's flipped for a better sentence)?  How about 10-15 years from now; are you in that same position?  Some of us act on caution, whereas others act on impulse.  Me thinks references should be enough and IDs is an overreach.  Judging by how many more girls are asking for ID information, it seems I'm in the minority.  Everyone should do what they feel is safe for themselves and let the market decide.  

Squeaky clean record. I hesitated to disclose another piece of info because I suspected it might get few eyebrows raised. In order for her to feel safe I actually emailed her a copy of my drivers license (street address blurred)….only to hear back from her demanding I hold it next to my face.  Obviously other men have done it…and everyone is different but for me it felt so HUMILIATING.  It’s like a mug shot!  Anyhow, I moved on and never ended up losing sleep over it.

I've been in this for eight years.  I have never shown my ID or given my full real name.  Sorry, not happening.  Same reason ladies use fake names.  Johns use fake names.  I'm lucky enough to have been around to have plenty of references.  But, even still these days off and on a new woman wants to see ID, work information or a Linked profile.  I recall in the last three months I've passed on two very beautiful woman because they required ID or Linked profile.  

Even though I'm a P411 member, a couple of ladies have asked for my LinkedIn page.  I'm OK with that because anybody can find me on LinkedIn.  I must have a dozen hits per week from people I don't know.  You can pull up anyone's basic page even without an account yourself.  But, the request described here is a bridge too far.

Elite models asked for the same thing and spooked me which is a shame because they seem to have a solid rep here.

No id, no personal info, no deposit.  Plenty of fish in the sea. Thank you next...

I am in total agreement.  I have always agreed to deposits.  As you have mentioned, and while not a substitute for screening, deposits serve as additional reassurance that potential clients are not police.  

I am speaking from my own experience.  Never had a problem, and every lady delivered service as promised.

but have at, I'm glad it's worked out for you so far.

These are the idiots who show up on Twitter the second they piss of someone.  

I’ve been asked for that at least 5 times in the past few months, especially from Brazilian girls touring the area.  I just move on.  It’s not worth it.  I’m seriously debating moving on from the hobby and seeking my fun on SB websites.  It’s more work but I’ve met a few good looking women on there. The hobby is not worth the hassle

I've literally seen hundreds of providers but this new crop has me considering moving on also. If a recommendation of another escort or TER whitelist is not enough I move on. I've definitely passed on ladies that I felt screening was a bit intrusive.

I screen very thorough, and it's DC... everyone has Confidential, Secret, and Top Secret and etc security clearances.  

humiliating is... end up on the news or tagged on a Facebook acct from certain departments in the area with your face all over, sending it to a reputable provider is that, safety. If you dont like it, go to the next, plenty of people dont screen... and plenty that would scam you, robed you, or never show up. Worst case scenario, you dont leave their place with a happy face but with some silver accessories on your wrist.

LinkedIn can be faked, bought connections etc. I dont trust it as the only source of verification.

indeed.

Do not send ID or work references ever online.

However, we have no idea what security systems you have in place for sensitive information and how vulnerable you are to a hack.  Nor do we know if you have a boyfriend or girlfriend that might have access to your phone or computer.  You might be completely trustworthy with sensitive information but how secure is that information?  You might be getting hacked on a regular basis but are completely oblivious to what is going on.  That's the problem.    

True, and we don’t know if you are who you are. If u have history of violence, robbing providers, stalking, etc.

I’m on the same boat with you gentleman
