Are Internet Websites Pimping For Prostitutes?
Screening is a critical step in the escort business that often overlooked. It is for your safety and also the client’s safety. You will spend time alone with a client after all, so it makes sense to verify him before the date. As in any business, there are always scammers and abusers lurking around for opportunities.
The good news is screening is easy. The not-so-good news is it may require some creativity on your part. Asking a client for his personal information can be a sensitive issue for clients. You should try to make them feel comfortable and secure with an assuring voice. Telling them that is a standard procedure any serious escorts will require.
Here is the basic information that you should get from a client:
- 1. Full name – including the middle initial. You should also check this information against their ID on your date before doing anything else.
- 2. Phone number.
- 3. Primary Email Address.
- 4. Escort References (2 or more are preferably) – Make sure to ask when and where they met and any unique details to help reminding the escorts of their encounters.
You can use the first #1, #2 and #3 pieces of information with Verifyhim.com. Our full search will check his information against our blacklist database. We also go through several escorts review sites, boards and forums to check his membership. There are changes that he has posted a review or being reviewed by an escort. If he has been a frequent with many escorts, the search will yield some results.
Verifyhim.com also searches public records and social networking sites (Facebook, Myspace…) for his information. This kind of information can be very helpful in verifying the client information. You should look for the consistency of his provided information and the search results. You should also contact the provided references for confirmation.
Look out for these signs of problems:
+ There are no records of his provided information.
+ All of his information (email, phone,…) seems to be created recently.
+ He is in our blacklist database.
There are also signs of behavior problems that you should pay attention to while communicating with your client:
+ He sends you a picture of his penis.
+ He wants to have a photo of your face and/or other revealing photos.
+ Really short email ("Are you still available?"), rude language…
+ Keep asking too many questions and stuffs.
If you encounter a time-waster once in a while, please report it to Verifyhim.com (By clicking on "Report an Incident!"). Registration for Verifyhim.com is FREE, so please join us and fight back. His information will be included in our blacklist, preventing him from doing so with other escorts. Don’t see a client if you feel that something is not right about him.
Authorities investigating whether Internet firms taking money for sex ads February 6, 2006, 04:57:48 AM PST By MERRILL BALASSONE BEE STAFF WRITER It seems there is nothing out of reach on the Internet, from the benign everyday items to the quirky and ridiculous. People search for boyfriends, apartments and used furniture, and have attempted to sell body parts and auction their names.
