Stiffmeister recently documented his poor experience with provider "cristi cutiepie". That thread was closed, but I believe the client community would find useful my own experience with Cristi Cutiepie.
I am presently at a conference in San Antonio. Two weeks ago, I emailed cristi cutiepie requesting an outcall appointment. I provided two references (both had confirmed their willingness to reference me) and the fact that I am a member of Room Service 2000 (Chicago equivalent of P411). After a few emails, we fixed a Saturday appointment (10/16/10) for 7PM.
A week ago, I emailed a reconfirmation, and she acknowledged it. On Friday, the day before the appt., I called her, got an answering machine and left a message reminding her. She called my cell back, and left a voicemail confirming.
At the time of the appointment, however she did not show, and when I called her at 7:15, she said she had thought it was for yesterday. Yet yesterday I had been at my hotel room the whole evening, and she had not shown then either. Anyway I asked if there was anyway she could see me that night, and she said OK 9PM, and she did not show for this either. All subsequent calls and emails to her have gone unanswered.
I should also note that in my few days at San Antonio that 3 other ECCIE providers have seen me, and been prompt and reliable. I had given them the same references that I gave Cristi. These other providers have more stringent screening than Cristi.
You can make your own judgement from these facts. I felt it was important that my experience be documented to allow others to make their judgement.
