Been talking to a massage chic who popped up on STG, wants to verify I'm cool and don't take after my annoying uncle by checking out my LI profile.
Told her I'd send a link, but haven't yet. I'm sketched out by the whole thing TBH. I don't use my real name and would hate to have my info in the hands of a provider who might use it against me.
Can never be too cautious, and don't like sending photos either, selfies or I'd.
Thoughts anyone?

I don't do deposits, never have. Maybe I'm missing out on some potentially good tail because of it. I also know enough not to donate upfront either.
She didn't ask for dough, thankfully.
Hobby phone doesn't have Facetime, might be time for an upgrade!
I was a little worried my uncle was catfishing me, but also the dude thing you mentioned is a current problem.

Thoughts anyone?[/QUOTE]Create a fake linkedin. I don't give them anything that can connect me IRL. Not worth it.
I have had exactly same concerns Jim and have the phone that can't FT.
One provider told me she would accept a reference from a different provider.
And said they don't need any qualifications, just a ad on a site, like euro or Tryst.
Does this make sense guys?
If you create a fake Linkden, wouldn't we need a bunch of friends and a pic?
If that's the case, maybe we should all do it and join each others, haha.

Onto the next one I guess, or down the street to the local AMP.
If I one day catch that fabled unicorn, I'll definitely share on the board!

And LinkedIn isn't really a social network. You can reach out and make connections to people you don't know that are in "your" industry. Plenty of people will connect with your fake profile. Just make it look like a real profile. Maybe it won't work today if you send a provider a LinkedIn that was just created. But a year from now, your LinkedIn profile will look a lot more convincing.
I know providers place themselves at risk when they see new people. But this idea that they need to know everything about a person before they will meet is ridiculous.

Anyone has any experience with her? What services? Says she won't see people who post reviews.

And she identifies as " she". Good luck with her, I mean "she."

[QUOTE=JaguarDan;6240153]What happens when you vouch for the next Craigslist killer?[/QUOTE]When dealing with people I often make the mistake of assuming that everybody has the same logic, reasoning, and moral compass that I do.
What I have found is that most people don't and that there is a very wide spectrum, with most on the lower end.
