Newbie here, been curious about this hobby for a while. Question for the seasoned veterans. How safe is this p411 screening. It asks for real name, employer name, phone and ext. Do they actually call and ask for you. [Just concerned about these info we give out, being in current job market, not a good idea to have people at work find out and force to find another job and all.]

Thanks

P411 is about as safe as it gets. They do not keep the information after verification. They also reside in Canada,so are not subject to US laws.

Best bet,then you do not have to give info every time you want to schedule a date.

Thanks for your interest in P411!

When we do an employment verification, we simply call the main number and ask to speak to you. We don't ask any questions, and if anyone asks who we are, we say "Michelle Moore from XYZ Copying", or some other boring response. If you are super concerned, you can give us a script to follow.

I assure you, the P411 staff does not sound sexy at all.... lol

Always,
Gina

Gina - Don't sell yourself short sweetie, I bet you can sound sexy when you want to...

Jarza - All kidding aside, P411 is legit. It was painless for me and have been using them for more than two years. For the hobby this is the best thing since sliced bread!

Good luck brotha and hang loose...

I've used P411 since it started and have had ZERO problems, I recommend it.

I refer a lot of guys to it when they want to give me personal information. Pretty much anything can be found on the internet with just the guys name and DOB and residence city. So when I have had guys offer that info, I tell them it will be safer for them in the long run if they decide they like hobbying because their personal information could end up in the wrong hands if they are giving it up to providers all over town.

Recently I was checking out a newbie and I googled his name and his facebook page came up with ALL his family and SO on there. I emailed him and told him he should quickly check privacy settings on FB to save a possible problem later down the road.

SO to answer your question. YES to P411

Hi, I'm new to this and I have the same concern as OP here.
p411 website doesn't give much info on how the screening process works.
"When we do an employment verification, we simply call the main number and ask to speak to you"
Is that still true? Have there been any changes to the process?

Duke of G · 06-26-2012, 08:52 AM

There have been no changes to the process. It is simple, and about as secure as you are going to get in the hobby.

Purple Heart Companions · 06-26-2012, 09:02 AM

It's the best thing out there.

Guest091812-2 · 06-29-2012, 05:34 PM

Just like American Express! I wouldn't leave home without it. Been a member since they opened.

P411 is the very best way to hobby. Not only is it safer but I find that it helps me get dates with the very popular ladies that are sometimes hard to see without good creds. I do not see providers that are not on P411, ever!

IMHO its worth the annual fee.

Actually, they DO, but it's not on the FAQ link on the main page, it's on the FAQ link after you go to register:

Cost and renewal information here.

I just went through the process this week--simple and painless. I don't actually work out of my company's HQ, I work remotely (don't have an "extension" they could ask for). I provided a simple script for them to use with the receptionist that was a plausible scenario for somebody to be asking to reach me within the context of my business without raising suspicion at the front desk, and they did it perfectly.

In their call back to ME, they were very professional and discreet in their wording... I knew who they were and what they wanted, but if anybody else had answered the phone, it would have sounded perfectly harmless.

Don't worry--just sign up!

Thank you for your answers, everyone!

I know this is an old thread but I don't feel like starting another one. I'm new to the hobby and did some research on the forum and came across this thread.

"When we do an employment verification, we simply call the main number and ask to speak to you"

Can someone kindly explain if this is a job # or home/cell?

What if you are currently unemployed or haven't been working for a while because of family related problems or other problems that prevented you from working. What if you don't work at all but you still get income coming in from your own business etc.

Thanks for answering.
