Girl asking for ID

[curiousgrunt]

Hey,

In the process of lining up a meet for this weekend while I'm away on a trip to a strange town, good chance to meet someone new.

Meeting up at my hotel, they've ask for a copy of my ID before confirming.

On a scale of "that's normal" to "red flag" where does that sit for you?

Never been asked for that before but it's been a few years for me and things might have changed, plus I normally do incalls.

Your opinions welcome before I send it over.
I'd like to add that I have a really unusual name, like only person in the world unique. It's really easy to find me on Google.

Thanks!

Do you really need guidance mate ? You have been a member here for almost 6 years !

[Steely Dan]

Red flag.

Plenty of Fish.

I have been asked for deposit.  And photo.  Once both. I usually say no, but I confess I have said yes for certain reasons once or twice.  But ID for me is a no.

What's her AW ID or can you post a link to her advert.

[turnthepage]

Wouldn't send an SP my ID even if she said the session was free. No way.

Guidance should be to amaze us & do a review

Perfectly normal. Send her a pic of yourself holding up todays Daily Mirror.

I do it all the time.

[webpunter]

The Mirror WTF
I'm going to PM DM & suggest a one week ban
For having the audacity to mention this red top
The currant bun would have been just fine

I like to do the Financial Times, make them think I have lots of pay off funds.

But jokes aside, no. Move on

Are you going to post a link to who it is so others thinking of booking her know about the ID issue. Apart from anything else someone might have seen her and we might be able to give better advice after seeing her profile.

I have also done a photo, once or twice can’t remember why now but I didn’t mind at the time.

Like yourself I would not do ID

[jimbobted]

Nope. There is absolutely zero reason for her to have your ID.
Seems to be coming more common amongst whores who market themselves as "exclusive" or "high end" and charge high fees. I believe common practice in the US but not here.
If you're meeting at your hotel, then she should feel relatively safe anyway as if something went wrong she just tells the cops "he was in room x" and your world implodes.
A couple of hookers I've seen in the past now want "screening" so I don't see them any more. Their loss.

Considering how shy you are at sharing anything over the last 5 years, sending your ID to a SP seems a bit of a stretch.
Also, your mild paranoia about keeping your identity safe around your last review seems to contradict your intended actions.

I have little faith you would review this SP anyway (if she gets the hump like Amy did, then she can screw you over) so quite frankly you have a fucking cheek to ask for any help.

[Hannibal35]

Recently had a girl ask me for ID , but also proof of convid jab. Communication soon ended then! Some girls have no clue🤨

[MysteryManNo.7]

I too have seen this practice amongst 'high end' AKA overpriced escorts. Never ever sending a WG a picture of my ID. I understand they may want to do this for their protection but this game is all about discretion. I want to book a girl, do the deed, leave and hopefully have her forget all about me unless I book her again not have a permanent record of my real name and address.

+1, was looking for this comment. You’ll find that these types request it. Again why the fuck would I want to send my permanent official details to you. Makes me wonder what they’re smoking. Some go even further and ask about work details. This comment perfectly explains it.

I get that SPs will (and should) want to do some level of screening on clients but this gives them control and leverage if anything goes south. I never contact these SPs anyway but I'd be interested in their reaction when asked to share their details as well.

Exactly this. Common(ish) practice in the States I believe, but makes zero sense over here where prostitution is legal if frowned upon.

If asked for ID I would absolutely decline to take the punt further. Do the girls supply us with their real names and passport/National Insurance numbers? Of course they don't.

[daviemac]

Judging by the lack of response from the OP I don't think this is an escort at all. Unless he posts a link to her advert this thread is a load of bollocks.

If it's an SB he's talking about it belongs on the seeking thread if it's from some dating app it has no place on here.

I agree, if she ask me for my ID I’ll just say no and move on. I don’t want them to know my name and things can go wrong like a potential blackmail etc, so it’s not worth the risk.

It’s a common practice in the USA is because it’s illegal to see hooker down there, so the police won’t protect them. I know i thought America is the land of the free  and it’s not safe in the USA because of the guns etc.

I would say, it s because she coming to your hotel to meet you

That would intrigue me. like you say, a reverse booking or just a meet if the punter requested official ID what would their reaction be like, would they actually supply it?

Would be interested to know if in situations they request ID if they share their ID back? That would only be fair

[webpunter]

The thread is indeed a load of BOllocks
No place on here, which includes the lazy grunt OP
5 years+ contributing SFA & then this waste of space discussion
Me thinks fantasist, at best a bell end

No, that makes even less sense. If you're going to the girls place, walk in off the street and steal her money or beat her up the law will have a hard time finding you. If you do that in your hotel room they know exactly who you are, plus CCTV etc.
I've been asked for depsotis in those circumstances before. I usually say no and the girl usually says "Oh, OK I'll take the risk then". I did once pay a deposit with an established and we'll reviewed agency and all went well, and they haven't asked for a deposit subsequently now they know I'm not a time waster. But they have no clue as to my identity.

[webpunter]

Not illegal in all parts of the US
There is the issue of firearms, amongst other things
Hookering can be heavily policed with sting operations
Mostly outcall & there is the risk of rohypnol & waking up to find valuables gorne

Pre-vetting can be intense - passport & sometimes pre payment
Have been to Vegas for trade shows, there are worse places to go 
Tried to line up Alexis Fawx
External Link/Members Only
The pornstar & higher end escorts have agents handling bookings, hard work or what with the hoops to jump through 
I gave up
Went out drinking incl. some ace lappy bars etc then got rid of the hangover horn the next morning when surfacing with R&T's in Chinatown 

It’s a common practice in the USA is because it’s illegal to see hooker down there, so the police won’t protect them. I know i thought America is the land of the free  and it’s not safe in the USA because of the guns etc.

[Home Alone]

In the early days of my punting "career" (i.e. before I found this community), I was so self-conscious about my appearance - short-arsed; overweight; "gammy" left leg; and a horrible-looking post-operation scar across my back - that, once I'd "graduated" from using the Massage Parlours of Greater Manchester (where the girls, apparently, had no option than to accept a booking) I made a point of describing my appearance to give a SP the option of declining my booking.

As "Captain Mainwaring" would have said, "Stupid boy!" And the reason for that was that, despite my limited self-confidence and my physical appearance I had the ultimate aphrodisiac for SPs: Folding Money.

So, to address the OP's question, the scenario he's described is totally unacceptable, imo. The SP seems a total prima donna.

Surprised you had to ask . Although I notice more and more are paying by bank transfer , and I was once asked “ cash or card” .
But for me not a cat in hells chance !

[Tender.french.kiss]

Do a simple risk benefit analysis.
On the plus side you get a good fuck
On the negative you can end up with blackmail or life changing consequences.

There are plenty of other good fucks waiting vs possibly an ocean of pain and regret. You really want to take that chance?
I'd understand lose a little to win a lot, but here you lose a lot to win a little 

I refused this year a potentially great time with a well reviewed WG because she 'just' wanted a picture, no way. So a copy of my ID even less.
Sounds like you're either already thinking with your little brain days in advance  ... or just trolling 

[daviemac]

The OP was logged in yesterday but has chosen to ignore the request to link to her advert or clarify what type of meeting it was. 

[webpunter]

As its been 5 years+ since the last review this doesnt come as a surprise
OP has been given an opportunity to explain
Response = jack shit
IMO coz a load of bollox from the outset, a vivid imagination at best 
If it isnt OP is a bell end
Me thinks you've got better things to do than waste your time & effort on this tosspot
Enuf of a challenge trying to keep other UKP'ers on here [incl. me  ] on the straight & narrow 
At times you must feel like you are herding cats 
In your position I'd be making my 'to-do' list a bit shorter

[Colston36]

In the 7 years I've been at it - well over 500 meets- not one strumpet has asked me for any proof of my identity.

[sniffer]

I've been asked for a photo a couple of times but never ID. They must realise few punters will do this. I suspect it's a screening mechanism to see how you respond. I just sent a friendly reply saying I don't have a recent photo I could send them, but that I look a bit like a younger version of a certain media personality. On both occasions I got an amused reply, immediate acceptance followed by a good punt. If they get a shirty response to their request they probably judge that you're an awkward type they can do without. It's how you deal with the request that matters.

[southcoastpunter]

def yes! - like so many things, it not so much what you say, its how you say it!!

[Home Alone]

def yes! - like so many things, it not so much what you say, its how you say it!!

Indeed; and there's an old song to that effect, scp!

I have a classic example of that; at this very moment I should be well into a punt with a new-to-me Escort!

However, when I went onto AW this morning, there was a well-worded request from her to postpone the meeting because she was feeling really unwell. The way she'd worded her message predisposed me to think she wasn't fobbing me off.

So, rather than letting the money, which I'd already withdrawn, burn a hole in my pocket in a "Plan B"; I simply thought, "Ah well; that wasn't meant to happen today." I've suggested an alternative date for seeing her and am confident that, if that doesn't work for her, we'll - eventually, maybe - sort out a meeting.

Before anybody asks "What if she cancels again?" Well, we'll see at that time. But, ever the optimist, I don't think she will.

[webpunter]

I've had it happen a couple of times where the SP / massage burd has cancelled & explained blah blah
Its a punting occupational EdenHazard

Meets have been re-arranged & the burds have made a point of apologising & mentioning briefly what the problem was
Reading between the lines it was along the lines of the burd making amends for whatever the problem was
I'm chilled on this like you not meant to happen / go with the flow etc
& the outcome was that they gave it the beans on the session when finally meeting up
At the same time i've had bollox excuses & i didnt pursue

I was about half way through an hour drive to see a hungarian massage burd in north london for the 1st meet
She called in a bit of a panic & said that the part of the ceiling in her apartment had collapsed from the floor above
& had to cancel apologies she'd be in touch
The next day she sent me a picture of the hole, you could see through to the floor above
The fire brigade had been called by the people upstairs & there was a fireman looking through the hole asking if she was ok
As she was rapidly getting her clobber on & the same by a punter
Who had only just got off the bed when the plasterboard etc came down just missing them
If the punter had an OH imagine trying to explain away why he was in hospital 
Tho telling mates they would have been WTF laarfing 
The re-arranged meet was ace & further sessions followed which ramped up, it was meant to be 
Well it was with me not chucking my toys outta the pram when the wheels first came off, rather ceiling came down

Sent a photo on request. But I'd has private info
