Two easy answers to your questions:
#1 - 
Many times.... 
well known hobbyists already know well known providers.
#2 - 
Always.... 
well known hobbyists have 
multiple means of verification.... email , Eccie Handle , P411 
(or others) , other board connections , multiple refeferences from 
known providers , etc...
 
Providers who do not take advantage of the 
multiple means of verifying 
well known hobbyists , are 
not screening!
