The short answer us yes, and I'm sure several will chime in. Or you could search for "references" and see that this question comes up about once a week.
Most guys will tell you to get P411. It proved not very useful for me, but most guys swear buy it.
Here's a strategy: Find a girl who's on P411 AND who advertises on Backpage. When you call, tell her you saw her ad on BP; don't mention P411 or ECCIE. There are at least seven in Tarrant County.
Or do the same with girls who have ECCIE Showcases and who also advertise on BP. There are at least 10 in Tarrant County.
The idea is that, whatever screening they do, it's probably less rigorous for some guy calling off of a BP ad than someone contacting her through P411 or ECCIE. I seriously doubt, for example, that if you call and say you saw the BP ad, you'll be checked for how many P411 okays you have and asked for two or three references. And you can be reasonably assured that, although the girls are advertising on BP, you won't get ripped off.
There's no uniform answer to your rates question. In some cases, using this strategy, someone answering off of BP might pay more because she added a risk premium; or he might pay less because she figures ECCIE guys are willing to pay more, or she might charge the same. Shrug.
