Yes, some providers will ask for this, and they may have good reasons, like they provide from their home, and need more security in the new clients they pick. There is also the LE concern, and i am not sure the % of those that have been busted once already, but my gut feeling is if the get caught, it is either legal fees, or a sentence, and it gets more costly each time.
To me, the obvious risks, is to give an id to mentally unstable provider. If I see a provider who has done, what I call flaming threads, no way would I give my id to that person. Just the same, a provider who never posts, other than ads, I would not know what they are about, and I would share either. I have been tempted to ask, your id for mine, but have not, and that would probably end any chance I had with that provider.
Providers I would share ID would have to reputable, and have lots of positive reviews. Also, you should break the ice with a reputable provider and may have to sacrifice a bit, but once you do, and give a good review, others will start opening the door for you with less intrusive screening.
Another piece of advice from mistakes I made when I started was asking what's on the menu. Meaning descriptions of actions and relation to donations. This is a no-no, and will you will get rejected immediately.
Also, my first review was rejected because it was so bad, anyway, it did get me on my way.
Hey guys,
Your opinions? Should this be asked and should it be answered?
Thanks for your input.
