I don't understand how they operate, whether they have their own data base of clients or just need to have a ref. from somebody that they know. I'm guessing their clients are mostly repeat customers, and they have enough of them that they don't have to worry about getting new ones. Unlike us, they probably don't really crave variety.
Anybody have any knowledge on how the whole reference thing works? Anybody have similar experiences? Anyone know how to get through their defenses?

Fortunately I am self employed and can give employment references to myself. Maybe I should start charging a fee to verify employment for mongers that want to use these agency girls?? OR rent out my HX profile so you can use it to book whoever you want! LOL
The main thing they are trying to do is verify that you are not LE. That is why they want a work phone number that is googleable (is that even a word?) so they can help provide safety and be reasonably sure you are not going to arrest them. If the providers you gave them are also not verifiable (massage parlor girl or BackPage) that won't help them either. Your best bet is to find a couple of girls on HX that are low priced, fat and or ugly that will see you without a reference and bite the bullet just to get the reference. Once you have a couple reviews on HX where a provider has rated you as safe the others will allow you to use their services. I know many of you are afraid to give your work phone numbers but in the many many times I have they have NEVER EVER...not even once called my shop asking for me. I was really hoping they would so I could see what they say and pass the info on to my fellow mongers. I really doubt if they will call your work and say something like this: XYZ Agency: "Does John work there?" Your Boss: "Yes, who is this?" XYZ Agency: "This is a whore trying to verify if he really works there and is not a cop" But I sort of understand the paranoia and it's better to error on the side of caution. Another thing you can try...since they never ever called to verify my work phone number is find a big company like Costco or something and tell them you work there. Give them the phone number for your local Costco. If they call chances are they will never get very far asking for whatever made up name you give them but in more likelihood they will never call and just give you the OK. The agency is thinking you would never claim to work at Costco and give the phone number knowing they are going to call and ask for you if you really don't work there...so they don't even bother to call and pass you through the screening.
Once you do book with them I believe they keep your number stored in their phone because any time after that I can just text for an appointment.
