I can relate as I'm also fairly "green" to this. I dream only once or twice a year, one time though like you I have very little references and one time someone did ask me for a work # as verification I almost gave it out but thought twice and didn't.

I also am new like yourself and was in that precarious situation. It is hard to admit but I was desperate and was almost going to give my work info away until I came on here and saw many of the great GFE's that don't mind you not having references.
I always use my Google voice. I don't know what I was thinking. I was scared shitless at work today, thinking someone was going to escort me out. I don't think she is related to LEO in anyway, but still didn't / don't like the feeling of anyone having my info. Lesson learned.
Did you have to mention fatal attraction. Geez. Now all I can think of when I go into the kitchen is rabbits. LOL.
[QUOTE=OliverOil;1406523]Never use your real name, not even the first name. Never give away your work information and get a google voice number or a throwaway phone. You are correct in feeling vulnerable. Don't do that again. Ever seen the movie Fatal Attraction? Just kidding but not that much.[/QUOTE]
Good advertising for Backpage!

[QUOTE=BeaverFever;1405301]The new backpage format sucks. It was so easy to go from brief to full. This new brief to gallery sucks ass, and it doesn't show a lot of the ads.[/QUOTE]The old format is still available if you know how to get to it.
You need to go to the gallery page. Then in the url, change the word "gallery" to "detailed" and there you have it!

I agree about the MBI: [i]"wastes hundreds of thousands of dollars trying to make mountains out of molehills."[/i]. It is really, really a sad and expensive joke on the taxpayers!
If you read the accomplishments on thier web site, it's like [i]"busted an AMP after 5 years of officers getting happy endings." [/i] And [i]"busted Rachels after a team of officers got lap dances for two years and spent $25, 000+ of taxpayer money." [/i]
And in the mean time, [B]REAL[/B] Crime is up everywhere, and [B]REAL[/B] Officers take HOURS to respond to [B]REAL[/B] Emergencies.
I attended a fundraiser / dinner for a gentleman running for the Orange County Sheriff and we talked & I asked about the MBI, and the incredible WASTE of resources that it seems to be, and interestingly he seemed to agree that those funds could be used to get officers on the streets going after criminals, and not a lone MASSAGE THERAPIST offering a H / E. Guess who gets my vote! . That would be one less 'fifedom' in our government.
Now if only the news cameras wouldn't show up when the MBI calls, we might not have this 'grand standing' either. They always look so smug on TV after they bust a little Korean woman, who is such a danger to society! [i]"Mankind is saved, another AMP is busted. News at 11" [/i]
I love this quote off the MBI site:
[QUOTE]"This small squad of agents is sometimes posed the question, “Don’t you have anything better to do?” This question usually comes from people who don’t understand what these law enforcement officers are trying to accomplish for the Orlando metropolitan area. (See on the website’s menu the Director’s Message for responses to the media concerning false stories created by the vice industry.) Working in conjunction with the State Attorney’s Office, as well as city and county leaders, the MBI Vice/Organized Crime Section has made our metropolitan area [B] one of the cleanest metropolitan areas in the country [/B]as it relates to removing vice organizations"[/QUOTE]Really, they have [i] 'made a difference' [/i]? .
Well, maybe they are too busy getting the lapdance, rather than "researching" backpage, craigslist, EROS, etc.
Maybe I'm too simplistic, but It seems to me, that simple LEO presense in cars will have much more impact than anything else!
Okay, done venting! Be safe!
[QUOTE=Exec Talent; 1405812]You often read or hear that arrests were made as the result of a one or two year investigation or that investigations are ongoing. The purpose of an investigation is to gather evidence in support of an indictment. What Grady does in Polk County is low-level police work consistent with his intellect and likely to result in a major lawsuit against the County. MBI, on the other hand, wastes hundreds of thousands of dollars trying to make mountains out of molehills. It is important to know the difference. A little background and history may be in order.

The best lie on the MBI website! Read the last sentence.
[quote]Two Hundred Ninety-Four (294) Advertised Escort Services closed, leaving only those advertised in non-escort service categories or on the internet remaining. Yellow pages and newspaper advertising for such businesses is now almost non-existent in Central Florida as the MBI convinced the Orlando Weekly, Bellsouth Advertising and Sprint Advertising to stop publishing escort service advertisements in their publications. This caused the majority of the escort services to leave Central Florida as advertising is the lifeblood of the organized prostitution trade.[/quote]They didn't leave dumb asses they figured out where you were looking and advertised in a different area. These stupid cops never learn! They think they make a difference getting blow jobs from escorts, hookers and strippers but it's Ok for them to do so since they are getting blowjobs and happy endings to save the public from getting such nasty things. Thanks Barnie!

Hello to all my friends from USASG, recently I had a good friend and reg from this forum telling me that he heard from a third person that my service have change due my recent graduation as a MT. Everything still the same, and I don't know who say this and I really don't care to be honest, I just want to let everyone know that I still the same with better skills. , if any of you have any question just PM or call.
Love, Joan

[QUOTE=ILuvWomen2; 1406192]I feel like a teenager again. Can't get a job without a car, can't get a car without a job. That's the best analogy that I can give to being a rookie in the hobby. Can't give references if you can't get them.
So I agreed to do something that really is scaring the pants off of me. A provider that I was looking to meet requested my work info, I was hesitant for 2 days, gave her the info and have not heard back since. Was I foolish to send a picture of my business card? I feel really vulnerable and don't like this feeling.
I should have stuck with my normal provider. Uggghh. This is what I get for trying to venture out.[/QUOTE]I did this once and regretted it for weeks. AMP girl asked what I did for a living and I told her. She happened to need the services I provided and asked for my card. Stupid me handed it over, and I lived in fear for weeks, imagining all kinds of crap. Like being a kid fearing an STD the first time you jerked off. Luckily my worry was for nothing, but there were potential consequences. Never again.

I've only given my work info once and it was to an agency with top notch reviews. I never regretted it as they were very easy to work with and convenient after I was verified. Also my info was on the company website at the time so they were able to verify me without actually calling. I've always been reluctant to give info to an independent.
I've done the same. It is a scary feeling not knowing to whom or where that info is going. Huge toad in my throat I was so nervous, but luckily for me the only provider I have seen is NaNa and she made dreaming of her safe. I guess that's why she's so many peoples ATF. I got to go see her again!

First thanks to the ladies who do post follow-ups to their reviews. Very helpful to all of us.
Guys let's say there is a new poster and you are curious whether he is legit. Check his posting history and see whom he has seen, read his reviews and see if there was any follow-up by his date. Be sure to look out for similar names because that seems to be happening more and more lately. Now, any new reviews he posts should give you confidence in both him and his review.
Watching your back and looking out for each other is not paranoia. It is often just common sense.
