I'm a new escort offering an out-call service. I'm having a problem when it comes to home visits. They always happily  send their full name, address, number etc., but when things don't match up and I mention the deposit they always say never mind, they have out call girls all the time and never get asked for so much information, let alone a deposit... I'm on AW and only ask this from guys who have no feedback. I feel like I am putting off genuine clients because I perhaps mention it clumsily and make it seem like hassle, and also because I am new on AW, ( I am having my first week of being available on there from next Monday onwards), I have no feedback and I feel like I will have to take a risk to get my feet off the ground...? Any advice greatly needed... thank you

Deposits are tricky. I've never asked for them, unless I'm doing an overseas or weekend booking. Most clients are quite fussy and stubborn about them, but I understand your need for them. I might suggest not asking for the deposit, as the other information sounds reasonably enough, but maybe mention you have security nearby or something? That usually puts off anyone who might be potentially dangerous or dodgy...just a suggestion?  ::)

I don't check their landline in directories anymore, as it never seemed to match, but instead ask them to send me a scanned/photographed bill showing their name and adress, and I haven't had anybody so far deciding he no longer wanted my outcall visit because of this. When I was new I too tried aking for deposits, usually a token amount of 10-20 quids and, as you are finding out now, it doesn't quite work. In fact I've never even had one client aggreeing to paying the deposit, they were all repying the "oh, never mind" line that you've heard yourself.

Try this, if you like:  :)

To arrange a meeting at your home I will require the following information:
Your name Your full address, including Post Code, The LAND LINE phone
number for your address, AND THE NAME IT IS REGISTERED IN

Agree with client that you will call him back on the landline.
You then ring directory enquiries giving the name and address, to confirm the
landline number is at the given address. Phoning the landline will now hopefully
be answered by the client and you're good to go.
If it is x directory (XD) then you know the name and address tie up, but not
that the phone number applies to that address. The code for the number will
likely give the area the code applies to, but that is all. Your call. You don't have
a 100% tie up for the address and client, just the area.
In the event that the name and number don't tie up, the operator will say so.
Their system won't access any more info
.
This is my second choice for verification. It's a lot of messing around
for potentially less than absolute verification.

I prefer the following as it's quicker and IMO better security:
"So I get the right address,please take a pic of an official document or envelope
and text it to me. All I need is the address portion, you can cover the rest"

Yes someone could fake this but someone with bad motives would likely just
move on to the next, less scrutinising escort.

The third verification is requesting a DEPOSIT  via a voucher to a Pre Paid Card.
(Do a search on SAAFE for threads about this) The important thing about deposits
is for you to sound as though this is an every day request from you, and that most
clients pay without quibble. Sound surprised if they hesitate. Reassure them this
is the industry norm. Any fake job is unlikely to go to the expense for a fake booking;
they'd just move onto another escort.
If they are still hesitant, give them choices:
  • Photo of address on Official doc or envelope, sent to you by via text
  • Deposit
  • Verifiable landline phone number
  • They book a local hotel and supply you with the name the room is booked under & the booking reference number. The name & address of hotel. You look up the hotel's

phone number[/list]
It's not full-proof, but it gives you more chance of securing legitimate bookings
while weeding out windups.

Edit.
Always keep your personal safety at the top of everything you do.
Even more so for outcalls.
