https://twitter.com/jimboivyo/status/645431727679213568 looks like you pissed someone off and they are trying to impersonate you on Twitter unless you are in fact a high end escort? But why would anyone want to impersonate someone who comments on an escort forum and the occasional gay porn blog? The stars aren't aligning on this one. Whoever this person is must be lonely, bored and delusional. But I thought to myself that a classy Texan who hires escorts and is a gentlemen doesn't fit those categories. Just letting you know so you can manage this.

used to be able to get them at many convenience stores like 7-11. And I still think you might be able to get them at grocery stores like Safeway or Kroger-maybe even Walmart.

 

This is correct. And Wal-mart has cheapest MO prices. There are limits imposed by each chain on how many you can buy per day, which might somehow be relevant if you are trying to buy subscriptions for all your friends and family members. Now then, let us all go to chain stores, using our visa gift cards to buy money orders to send to RM and to manufacture spend to the best of our abilities, and let us post all things about Killian James, the good the bad and even the ugly if that somehow exists (doubtful), in a separate topic thread.

I've never had to present identification when withdrawing, depositing or managing my account. Generally banks use 2 stage multi-factor authentication when confirming it truly is you. Those two factors are knowledge and possession based ( In my case, a debit card and a PIN ).

 

At banks with more advanced technology, the debit card/PIN option can act as a substitute for the identification; however, I'm sure that they the transaction size limits for when they will still ask for further identification, such as closing out an account with large balances. If you were making a deposit or withdrawal without the debit card in your possession, they would likely be asking for other forms of identification (within reason for the size of the transaction.)

No, I am saving the telephone books for Tristan Baldwin to rip in half.. when I can actually get my schedule to match his when he visits Vegas.

Good choice, and in all honesty I thought of that very thing when I mentioned said telephone bookl!

 

Now all I have to do is remember to bring a phone book the next time I do see the illustrious TB!

LOL! Touché!!! Actually I am quite lucky that Hartford is within driving distance. Still at times it is a challenge!

I haven't been into a bank for a couple of years, I've done most things on line, at ATMs or at EFTPOS terminals in shops. Obvioulsy that requires a card or at least the number on one. On the subject at hand, I recently applied for a new prepaid reloadable visa card, and had to comply with the Government requirement to produce 100 points of identification. I didn't need to go into the issuing bank and give them copies of things like my drivers' licence. Instead, I entered my name and date of birth, drivers' licence number and my passport details on line, and the bank could verify that information automatically with the transport ministry and the passport office, and it was all approved. So the bank didn't have photos of me but it had verified my identity.

You walk into the bank and the security camera snapped a photo of you, you walk into an atm and the camera also snaps a photo of you. Someone mentioned this before in the thread I think it was Juan but someone can make themselves a fake ID with your picture on it and just transcribe your information if they can get access to it. Just things to think about. The ONLY thing I'm worried about is someone seeing my hideous photo from 2008 when my picture was taken last at the DMV. Now THAT is a scary thought. I'd say that those who don't want to verify themselves to new potential clients who are unaware of them that's totally fine. It'll just be better for the escorts and clients that find it a valuable resource. I wouldn't be surprised if being verified becomes the new norm in the industry, if so most potential clients will be conditioned to look for that as one of their pre reqs for hiring. If I'm looking at five cars and one isn't precertified I won't bother test driving it. Same thing here. If there are a significant number of Scorts who Verify and a handful who don't I'd think something was fishy. You need to walk a mile in another pair of shoes and see things from the angle of the person engaging you. Of course one or two will slip through the cracks, they always do. There's always a way around something. The question is how hard can they make it so not any average joe can get over on the process.

Yikes Jimboi!!!

When you sign up for RentMen with a credit card or debit card they already have all your personal information including your name, age, billing address etc.

 

Nope. They have the name, age and billing address of the owner of the card with which I pay. Not necessarily the same thing.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if being verified becomes the new norm in the industry, if so most potential clients will be conditioned to look for that as one of their pre reqs for hiring. If I'm looking at five cars and one isn't precertified I won't bother test driving it.

 

I understand your logic and I am glad you feel comfortable wanting to go through that process.

 

If I were wanting to hire an escort, however, I would without a question favour the escort who has been receiving consistently positive reviews for years rather than the new guy who is "verified" by Rentmen.

 

Luckily for all of us, there's something for everybody. We all have different priorities and ways of operating and we will all be able to find people who are compatible with our way of doing things.

 

I really don't think there's a right way or the wrong way. There's only the way I do things and the way I wouldn't.

[Guy Fawkes]

Hummm.... That was offensive.

Why you should always contact a proxxxxxxx using a bone-phone.

[Anton]

There's is absolutely no way in hell that I will send an escort advertisement site mine or Thor's information. Rentboy didn't have any of my info for a reason.

 

Juan, I'm completely with you on this.

 

Did we forget what happened to Target? Did we forget what happened to Home Depot? Did we forget what happened to the Office of Personnel Management? (Yes, part of the Department of State and storing sensitive information about special agents.) Did we forget what happened to LinkedIn? Did we forget what happened to ... (And I could probably go on for hours).

 

Most companies say "oh, but your information is well protected with the latest technology".

 

While that's incorrect to begin with (as we are all finding out slowly and gradually) I also find that a surprising approach. I don't think that companies can demand the right to ask you anything they want, simply because they find it's well protected.

 

The right approach is, "Do they need the information they're asking for?". In most cases the answer is "No, they don't". (Most often they simply want it for marketing purposes.)

 

A while ago I wanted to open an account with a smaller bank and on one of their forms they also asked me to initial the paragraph that gave them access to my DMV records. Excuse me ?!? I politely declined and I left. Although I have little to hide, that does not provide an excuse for others to invade into my life endlessly.

 

When a representative asks me for personal information most often I ask back in a friendly way "What is it that you need it for?" and they'll stare back at me with a face as if an alien just arrived from outer space ...

 

(An alien who, just after arriving, is apparently trying to open an bank account. )

I actually find it amusing that there's efforts on the part of various websites to "clean up their act" when there's really no evidence that it will 1) deter what is clearly a government crackdown on escort-related websites from continuing or escalating, or 2) actually make hiring any better or safer for anyone, really.

 

I agree with Juan. There's been various comments over the years about how many reviews are the "right" number and whether there is a "sweet spot" of enough reviews, but not "too many" - blah blah blah. But the overwhelming "duh" fact that stands out to me - whether its escorts reviews or restaurant reviews on Tripadvisor or contractor reviews on Yelp - is that review sites are incredibly helpful, and these reviews usually do reflect the wisdom of the crowd. I suppose you could argue it's biased against the new kid on the block, but then again, it's the new kids on the blocks that often end up being the fakes and flakes.

 

In a more logical system, I actually think some kind of verification system on paid websites would make a lot of sense. Assuming it was made difficult to game, it would possibly discourage scammy behavior on the part of escorts, since at least their real identity is known to somebody, and it would discourage 17 year old kids from pretending they are adults - assuming they are not skilled at faking i.d.'s as well. One minor "WTF" moment is that even according to one of the District Attorney's involved, one of the only 2 MyRedbook staff cooperated with families and law enforcement to do sensible things, like delete ads that were suspected to be run by minors. I never met Hawk Kincaid, but by every account I've heard from people who have he was a voice for decency and high standards among escorts. Regardless, Hawk was arrested and Redbook and Rentboy are both history.

 

There's no evidence to me that the abolitionists want to reform or rationalize these websites. They seem to want to abolish them. So while some of these ideas - like self-verification of escorts - may help at the margin, it is a small thing. If the overall direction is to have the government shutting down websites and driving everything into the dark or the street corner, it is a small step forward combined with a giant leap back. It's sad, and sending selfies to Rent Men will do nothing to stop it.

I agree. The fact that an advertiser (most often an escort) has been verified by RentMen, doesn't say that the guy provides an excellent service. The fact that another advertiser (probably also an escort) has not been verified, doesn't say that this second provides a lousy service.

 

Imagine that a client has been ripped off by an advertiser on RentMen (pretending to be an escort, but not being one). Then what does the client want to do with the ID information from the con artist?

 

Go to the police?

Ha. That would be akin to going to the Police complaining that your drug dealer stiffed you with bad stuff.
