Be carreful with personal info
I concur, I will never give my information again. I did that once for a now retired agency. The agency said that once verified, they were just keeping your pseudo and the last 4 digits of your phone # in a list. This way, nobody can track you back, while they can verify that the caller is legit. I never believed that 100%. If LE inspects their hard disks, they'll probably find information that was supposed to be deleted. P411 is an option. I've been successfully using Private Delights without leaving any personal info.
[QUOTE=SamRollins;4608990]In many years of doing this I have only given out personal info one time and that was right at the beginning to join P411. Of course I had no references at the time so it seemed like the best way to get started, and they were in Canada with a sterling reputation so I felt it was a justified risk. Since then I have steadfastly refused to give out this info to any provider or agency. I think agencies are particularly risky because they are bigger targets for LE and regardless of what they say, I believe most keep all this personal info on their clients in a digital file somewhere, and if shit hits the fan do you think they are going to look out for you / me / etc. I think not! There are many ladies out there and most understand that screening has to balanced against privacy and when I encounter an occasional one that doesn't, I move on. IMO you have to think with the big head in this case.
I'd also note that if I'm not mistaken, I saw Shu listed on P411 so you might be able to get to see her that way.[/QUOTE]
Remember Chloe's Companions?

They were a prominent target and it wasn't that surprising when it happened. Rumor was that one of the providers cooperated with LE due to a dispute with Chloe over an exit fee when she wanted to go indy. Anyone with a personal info on their computers when they went down as shitting bricks. I think agencies that have survived are trying to be careful, but there are still regular news stories of them being busted, and sending a picture of your I'd is just playing with fire. Besides the LE issue, the boards on the other popular review site had multiple stories over the years about people who were outed after a disagreement / bad review / misunderstanding with a provider, booker or agency who had their personal info. My opinion is that you just say NO.
