I mean the having the decoy everything. Burner. Fake everything to present. It's just so much. Normal would be leave personals in the vehicle.

The irony would be that someone steal something from your car while you think the SP is the most risky one.
One of my regulars got his car stolen during an appointment with me, back in like 2022. I felt bad for him and he was like "its ok I have insurance and it was worth it" lol
I've only gotten into this world recently so all this seems so over-the-top and unnecessary but I get it if you came up when and where the laws/stigmas were more draconian. I didn't even think of half of these as a potential issue.
I always wonder of the situation where you have to make a police statement and you say like "I was just buying something at Pharmaprix and when I went back the car was not here" and deep inside you know perfectly what you were doing while this happened
when you get around a little more you might look at it a bit differently, depending on how you source your companions. The laws actually have absolutely nothing to do with it. It's not even necessarily that it's something that happened to you, but word gets around about all the potential scams and risks available to clients, and how to protect yourself from them. You don't have to have been a victim of a Nigerian email scam to know that you shouldn't fall for one. Most of the things people have mentioned literally take no time to do so there's really no harm in it.

Hey, as I said, I'll take your word for it, esp when it comes to different countries. All I know is if I thought I needed to do half of that I probably never would have seen a companion initially, not for the time but for the paranoia of it. It would detract from the experience in my mind.
It might not be necessary. As I said, it depends in large part on how you source the companions. If I was going to see @Rebaynia or @Julia Sky I probably wouldn't worry about it (except for the screening. nobody gets that). If I was seeing someone new from LL or an indy MP then I definitely would. in other countries carrying decoy wallets or whatever isn't just a hobby precaution, but a normal travel precaution, for example. In any case, if you're going to limit yourself to MERB girls and reputable agencies then almost all of this is unnecessary, minus the screening stuff, which frankly, IMHO, you'd be nuts to give to anyone. Still, if you're cool with giving out the ID info and deposits and you're limiting yourself to the aforementioned then you probably have absolutely nothing to worry about except where your personal info goes. If you do decide to explore outside of the inner circle then you may want to consider appropriate precautions again going back to where you're sourcing from. 95% of the time it's all completely unnecessary, like having insurance on your car or home, but.......

I respect that and think it's good advice for people who want to minimize risk nonetheless.
Yeah, I think it almost has to come into play at some point for most mongers, because the world of MERB indies and agencies is so limited in scope and so restrictive in practice that almost everyone is going to want to take off the training wheels and experiment a bit outside of the safe zone. YMMV, of course. For some people that's exactly in their wheelhouse and exactly what they want and never would they stray, as they're perfectly happy in that zone, so never need they worry.
I was much more active 20 years ago. I'd book SPs from the ads in the back of The Mirror. I never gave security much thought because I had nothing to steal. No smartphone, credit card maxed out, and my bank account was in overdraft already. At worst, it would just be a nuisance to get new ID and such.
These days I'm only booking SPs that have a good online presence. I'm pretty sure none of the ladies here are going to steal my shitty old motorola phone.

My online/gamer name...
if I used my regular name, I would be damn near impossible to find. It is a very popular name. Why else do you think I adopted the name Rebaynia 20 years ago. Rebaynia is more personal than my own given name. It is a collection of letters that means nothing to anyone else except me. But I also always said if I was ever going to be known in my life by others, Rebaynia would be the name I was known by.To google my given name, you might find me on page 300 of a Google search.
Phone, I got into this before even considering fake numbers. I made an ad, and only a year later started actually participating on this board, to find out others have seperate phones, or use apps. Too late to change by that point. What am I going to do, have a seperate personal phone so I can get the 1 call a month that isn't a client? I have always been an introvert, even my own family forgets to invite me to family celebrations, because I skipped out on so many.
I created a work email about the same time I created a website. Before that point it was simple, I didn't accept emails. Even now email is the worst way to contact me. I could go days before remembering to check it.
So... to recap, no you don't use your actual name, no you don't use your personal email, and you don't use a separate phone because you have for all intents and purposes no personal use for it, only a business use? If you grant that most people use their phone pretty religiously for personal reasons would it be out of line to say that most people in the business change their name/phone/email for business purposes, keeping their personal identity separate? If we do grant that that's the case can we also grant that the reason that it's done is to provide personal anonymity and personal security? Lastly, if this is the case for SPs, and if it's super easy to do (it is) then is there any reason why clients shouldn't do it to protect their own safety/privacy? Why would the standard be any different?My online/gamer name...
