How to screen your clients in Canada
These are all the methods that Iâm aware of on how to screen clients in Canada. If youâve worked here youâve probably realized that clients arenât too keen on giving out personal information but there are still some things you can do to keep yourself safe. If you know of another method, let me know and I will add it to this list! Of course these methods may also be relevant elsewhere.
1) The first thing I do when a client contacts me is google their phone or email or both and see what comes up. I also search their phone number on Facebook. You can also add them to your phone as a contact and find their Instagram/whatâs app profile through that. This is how I often find out that Iâm getting a fake appointment. Iâve had women and teenage boys contact me and this is how I weed them out. BUTâŚ.now that burner numbers are more and more popular this can lead to mix ups. Iâve had clients give me their number and then I search it and it comes up as a woman and I call them out, and they say thatâs not them and have sent me alternative methods to prove their identity. Burner numbers get tossed around so much now that the info you find about it online may or may not be the real owner.
2) References
You can ask clients for one or two provider references. I always remind my clients to please ask or give their other provider a heads up that they will be using them, this usually allows for faster communication and also itâs just polite. When you get the contact information from your client, make sure itâs a REAL escort. If you search her email or phone number and nothing comes up, she is a fake reference. If she is a real escort you can send her a message that goes something like this
âHey there :) just emailing you in regards to Jim, he said that you were a reference of his.
346-737-2222
Thanks!â
It doesnât have to be fancy or formal but it does have to be polite.
3) Email money transfer
Clients can email money transfer you a deposit or full payment to a discrete email addresss without getting any of your personal information. This also allows you to get their full legal name when you go to accept the transfer. I have two email addresses, one for my escort persona and a second discrete one that married men can send money to that looks like theyâre just sending it to a man-bud. If a client wants to pay for their appointment via email money transfer be sure they send it ahead of time. Iâve had clients send transfers that took 1 hour + to get to me. Do not do anything until the money is in your account.
4) Hotel room call
If a client wants to book me for an outcall to their hotel room, which 80% of my appointments are, there is a super easy way to screen them. I often donât even tell them Iâm going to do this until the day of so that they donât have time to argue. I tell them I want to call them on their hotel room phone to confirm our appointment and I need their full legal name to do so. Once you get it call front desk (from a burner number) and ask to be transferred to whatever room he is in. Front desk will ask for his name, you give it, if itâs correct they will transfer you through and youâre good to go. Usually I just say âhey confirming weâre still on for tonight at X time for Y hoursâ and tell them I like to hear peopleâs voices over the phone before we meet, which I do. Often clients give you fake names when they first start speaking to you so to avoid the awkwardness of them admitting that I usually ask âwhat name is the room under?â As opposed to âwhatâs your real name?â
5) Ask for a piece of mail with their name on it
Stolen from @bossyprada. If youâre doing an outcall to residence, ask for their name & address as well as a piece of mail with their name and address on it.
6) LinkedIn profile, work profile, Facebook
You can ask for their name and a link to their social media, LinkedIn or work profile. Use with caution as people can make fake accounts. Iâve seen some girls ask for LinkedIn + an email sent to them from their work email or LinkedIn + photo ID. Which brings us toâŚ
7) Review board profile
I donât really like this method, but often clients will give their review board profile username and you can check their activity on there and decide if you want to see them. Good things are him writing positive reviews, leaving nice comments etc Red flags: he writes critical reviews, complains about escorts etâŚif you see someone off a review board, be prepared to have a review written about you
Canadian review boards: PERB, CAF, TERB, MERB
8) Photo ID. Youâre not going to get this from a lot of guys. I offer it as an option if someone is new and has no references and doesnât want to send a deposit. I also never travel with a client without a copy of theirs ID and license plate.
9) Gut feeling. Iâve done plenty of calls that were just gut feeling. Rule of thumb, if it feels wrong something is wrong. Trust your gut.
How to stay safe on calls: The best option is to always have someone know where you are. However for most of this isnât an option, so always let your client think someone knows where you are, even if youâve seen them a million times. I always text people when I first get to an appointment and then I say âoh sorry Iâm being rude, just letting my girlfriend know how long Iâll be hereâ you can also pretend to be on your phone. You can set your timer on your cellphone to sound like a ringtone and pretend to answer it when you and your clients time is up. There are also âfake a call appsâ available for download.
Stay safe everyone! Xox
