As far as p411 it is easy for the girls to get approved where as date-check requires a current member to vouch for them before they are added.
Actually, it's harder for providers to get approved on P411, since we only allow established client members (5+ Okays) or established reviewers (5+ reviews posted) to vouch for new providers. DC allows anyone on the site, client or provider, new or old, to vouch in new providers.
Gina, you could vouch in a completely fake provider today and have that set up within 5 minutes with DC. Why not give it a try and see which is easier, before making your claims. Not to mention, you could also vouch in a fake client pretty much the same way.
Unfortunately, there isn't much any verification site can do if a
legitimate client or provider turns over their information once they are pressured to do sure. It has happened a handful of times, and all we can do is go around cleaning up the mess after the fact. The good news is that sort of thing has been extremely rare, and has been confined to two small jurisdictions in WI and AR.
I think the main difference is that DC doesn't make any sort of announcement when they have problems occur within their system, whereas I do..... because I feel that's my responsibility to the community. Of course, in some cases that makes people feel like that issues are widespread on P411, when the reality is that they are very few and far between. We work very hard to keep the site secure and safe. It definitely would be easier to just take a step back and disappear though, and pretend that things don't go wrong sometimes.
In regards to some one being explicit in the initial contact, it's unlikely to be a LE situation. They are smart enough to know that being graphic via email or phone will just spook their target, and they need a face to face discussion. However, if something doesn't feel right, it's always best to follow that feeling and stay far away!
Always,
Gina
