There are only two reasons a provider would want personal info. One, for her safety in knowing that the client is legit and not going to waste her time. The other reason is to scam the client outright or have a record that could potentially bribe the the client in the future.
I don't like giving my personal info unless I know that the provider is legit and most of the time I look elsewhere. I don't understand that if you are a member of a verification site (like p411) then why is that not enough.
I once had a provider tell me as a member of p411 she needed more info because I hadn't seen a provider in two years in my okays list. She said clients change over time and needed something currently. Which made more sense to me.
Ladies are there other reasons you would want more personal info of a potential client if that client is a member of a verification site that you are a member of as well?

On a different online community (totally unrelated to the hobby), a girl I chatted with on DM coerced me into sharing some selfies, my first name, and the state I live in.

Come to find out, she was in cahoots with some guy who hated me on that online community. The guy knew I'd never share anything with him. So he used her to do his dirty work. Turned out they were trying to collect as much information on me as possible so they could get me fired for my controversial political beliefs.
Good thing I refused to share my work information. Then they really would have been able to get me fired.
My point? When anyone requests personal information from you (especially under controversial circumstances, whether it be a woman you're looking to buy sex from or a user on a website where you post about your extreme political beliefs), they could easily use that information against you. Whether they really will use it against you, that's another question...still best to play it safe (and refrain from sharing any information they could use against you)
