This was one of the biggest agencies in the USA, with lots of traveling escorts as well.

Also note, from here:

These quotes:

#28 - The Miami Companions database, which was password protected, contained information about the johns, including their place of employment, contact information, and sexual preferences, as well as calendar information regarding which women were traveling to which cities to perform sexual acts in exchange for money with the johns."

#29 - "Miami Companions employees could access the database in order to "verify" the johns when the johns called to schedule an appointment with one of the women. Miami Companions employees could enter information regarding appointments and new clients to the database. The database was password-protected, and security features were used to prohibit employees from being able to copy or delete the database. Some of the employees of ITI Technical Solutions Inc. knew that Miami Companions was a prostitution business, and these employees assisted defendants GREG CARR, and LAURIE CARR and Miami Companions in the operation of the prostitution business by, among other things, assisting in adding security features in order to hide the database from law enforcement, designing the calendar to accommodate designations of appointments with various women working as prostitutes with johns in the South Florida area and in cities to which the women were traveling, and including a client database of tens of thousands of client names that included information about the clients' employment, contact information, and sexual likes and dislikes. In order to avoid detection by law enforcement, the database was hosted on a server in Panama, but was accessible from the United States through password-protected Uniform Resource Locators (URLs)."

Yeah. How many of us are as interesting (to anyone but ourselves) as Eliot Spitzer?

If you have to be a crusading Attorney General turned Governor to get outed, I'll take that risk.

One of my ATFs, Sophia, worked for that agency. She didn't travel to New York too often. When she did, I'd call and say that I had booked with them before. Each time, they claimed that they didn't keep records and couldn't access any of my info, so I would have to give it to them again to get verified. Which makes me wonder whether: 1. The people working the phones were just plain stupid, or, 2. The "database" (such as it was) wasn't particularly well kept.

I have clients with so-called databases of their customers that are in a total shambles. If you want to market to existing customers, it's virtually impossible because their records are so poorly kept.

That said, I'm not too worried.

But I am sorry to see them go. While they didn't service the New York market too often, when they did, they sent some quality girls this way.

They could have been verifying the info you gave them with the info they had in their database.
