MisterMike 1873 Report post Posted August 19, 2012 However, do keep in mind that established paid companions often meet with well-known men whose public and private lives could be severely damaged if their information were to be disclosed to anyone. Our fees include assurance of confidentiality. I see that you live in the States. Law enforcement does have a habit of setting men up for grief, there, because prostitution is illegal almost everywhere. In Canada, things are very different! Yes, Canada is far more enlightened in many ways than the USA. I am thankful I am Canadian too and have options. USA has a lot of problems that are not being addressed. I can see how your clientele's confidentially and trust are paramount in practicing your profession. I also see the potential for danger and you must keep yourself safe and secure so it becomes essential to know with whom you are dealing. Hopefully a situation will present itself whereby I can join this "hobby" while maintaining my own comfort level along with that of my "temporary girlfriend" and have some adventures of my own. Meanwhile the CERB forum is great because it allows for dialog such as this and with that comes understanding and tolerance which is alway a good thing.

roamingguy 300291 Report post Posted August 19, 2012 (edited) As a new hobbyist this is the dilemma I face. I am not in a position to reveal my true name and telephone number but understand and endorse the need to SP security and safety. I hope that a SP will do the same for me so I can build up a couple of references and enjoy the hobby to the fullest. First I do understand from a legal quandry why you wouldn't want to reveal your name given you live in the United States, and down there they aren't as enlightened as we are up here regarding escorts LOL (bit of tongue in cheek here) That said, first, are you coming to Canada to see ladies or are you seeing ladies in the U.S. If in the U.S remember the ladies are at as much risk wondering if the "client" may in fact be LE setting up a sting on her, and not a bona fide client. And a lady both in the U.S and Canada, until she knows and trusts the gentleman, always, always runs a higher risk from a safety standpoint versus issues of a man's privacy...in short her legitimate safety concerns (especially her life) trumps a man's legitimate privacy concerns.....always. A option you may wish to consider is using one of the date verification sites, like date check. While I don't know exactly how they work they are used by many ladies and I don't believe they require your real name Also, as for a phone. Get a disposable throwaway cell phone. Use it once per encounter, throw it away and get another one for your next encounter. The phone is for communication only Consider it part of the cost of partaking in this wonderful lifestyle Depending on where you plan on seeing ladies, join a escort board (if in Canada, you are on the right board here :-) ) When getting verified let the lady know your board handle (confirmed by pm) And sounds simple, but chose carefully when planning on seeing a lady. Check her website, profile on a escort board, recommendations/reviews. That is a way to vett and make sure you are seeing a legitimate SP, and not LE Just a couple thoughts and a rambling RG Edited August 19, 2012 by r__m__g_uy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
etasman2000 15994 Report post Posted August 25, 2012 DateCheck does require your real name and a valid government issued ID. Your DateCheck ID encodes part of your real name, government ID and age. Having the DateCheck ID isn't sufficient to identify who you are. Before the date you are suppose to show the government issued id to the provider. With it and the DateCheck ID she/he can cross reference who you are. Most of the other verification services work off the same principle. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
