Because they don't!! Happened to me with someone else, I asked why he was still active on the site, I can't remember their reply, but they certainly didn't ban him!!

Here you go, the exchange I had with AW about my fraudulent member...

FROM ME THROUGH THE HELPDESK - I THOUGHT IT WAS A CHARGEBACK AT FIRST:
> Hi - I

Hello

Thank you for your email.

Unfortunately any persons choosing to make an income on the internet will
be exposed to some risk of fraudulent activity.

We are sure you will appreciate that although we do our best to combat
this problem, the costs of running this site and absorbing the losses from
those that defraud it are considerable. In many instances fraudulent
activity is detected after the event (i.e. the credits have been withdrawn
from our system by a Service Provider) .

In such cases our losses are severe as not only have we paid out to a
Service Provider but we also by then had to repay the credit card company.
Therefore if we catch someone in the act of using stolen credit cards to
purchase credits on this Site and spend them with others, we won’t allow
them to be withdrawn if we are in a position to be able reclaim them.

Unfortunately the sessions you had with this member is such a case in
point. The credits have been returned and the stolen card used to
purchase them refunded.

If, as we believe, you are an innocent party then we can only apologise
for your misfortune. However unfortunate though it may be, the fact
remains that we will not knowingly pay out on stolen credit cards if we
catch the person doing it. If we were to then it would only compound the
problem of fraud and send a message to those that wish to defraud us that
they could collude with members such as yourself in order to launder and
still receive stolen funds whether they were detected or not.

We are sorry that you have fallen victim to internet fraud and we do
everything in our power to catch fraudsters as soon as we can as as not to
cause disappointment to members like yourself. It’s unfortunate in this
instance that we didn’t catch him until after your sessions had taken
place.

Hello

Thank you for your email.

Unfortunately, there is no protection when members dispute the purchases
they have made with their bank and issue chargebacks or against members
that have purchased credits fraudulently and chargebacks are received.

In all cases, as soon as we are aware of any possible fraudulent
activity, it is treated very seriously and members are immediately dealt
with accordingly.

As we have previously explained any persons choosing to make an income on
the internet will be exposed to some risk of fraudulent activity.

We hope that you will continue to enjoy the facilities on the site.

It's best to not leave feedback until you near the 30 day period ....this way any issues will usually be flagged up within 30 days....then you can leave appropriate feedback and other girls can be warned.

I used to accept phone chat bookings for 7.50 and they when the guy confirmed, it would change to 7. I know arguing over 50p is petty, but I did message them about it because it kept happening over and over. Radio silence from AW. Still no idea why it happened other than an annoying glitch.

winnipeg
10-14-2016, 08:15 AM
AW have gotten back to me and stated that there was no charge because they did not stay in the session long enough? I thought as soon as they entered paid chat....if only for a second there would still be a charge? ��

Teddy_Bear
10-14-2016, 08:38 AM
Firstly I can't believe you girlies still have not got your money, it's a fucking disgrace that a site as big box as AW haven't sorted this yet!

Secondly look out for Manual Escrow refunds in the coming months as I got a chargeback for 40 odd credits last year and then at the start of the year the credits were refunded to me about 6 months later, I fist pumped when I saw it as I hate working for free and it's the only chargeback I'd ever experienced. I got the same 'comprehensive' email as Cat but although it looks very official it's still just another copy and paste bullshit reply stating bad luck for being a victim of fraud.

Thirdly @winnipeg customers are charged as soon as they enter your paid chat unless they can't see your stream, it's a weird setup but there is no 'free window' like on other sites. I normally say out loud "thanks for the few pence arsehole" when they are looking loos so you should have seen something as compensation if he could see you. Another fun glitch no doubt.

Re: Paxum, I noticed that about cards yesterday! I wondered about throwing it onto a debit card (my bank account), but wasn't sure if anyone had tried that yet.

Well, well, well, I tried to add my UK DEBIT card and surprise surprise got this:

error.serviceRestricted

So it wouldn't add my card, I also tried my CREDIT Card with the same result, one is Visa, the other Mastercard, so the 'problem' is obviously the GBP currency attached to it!! I have a Euro credit card but as EFT is also affected, there is prob not much point in trying that either!

Any USD cards I have are pre-paid so I know it won't accept that. Blue-Velvet IF you have a USD card attached to a US bank a/c (Visa or Mastercard) it might be worth giving that a go.

I had a feeling all us UK'ers would be blocked (discriminated against!) as they've already blocked off the other route of using e-currency sites (i.e., they removed themselves from them so we can't use them to get our currency, seems we can only their site of $50 a go!!).

It has left me wondering how are ladies managing on sites like TTM, (that only pay to UK'ers via Paxum, that's a joke if its a side site, as you are having to talk for £40 worth of FREE calls, before you make any profit! #incentivenotmuch).

Also I tried ringing Paxum CS, it said press 3 to speak to an operator re your personal a/c, I then had to listen to some irritating music before an automated message said, leave your number and we'll ring you back, tried 2 times and got same response so 2nd time I thought I'll leave a voicemail with my number, I doubt if they will ring me back, I'd be very surprised if they did.

I've also emailed them enquiring WHY I had received the 'error.serviceRestricted' message.

Its very naughty of them (to put it mildly) to allow us to go through the whole process of form filling etc etc.. when, for example, they could have a message on the Fees page next to the fee for using External CC... with something like, 'pls note, external cred card fundings have been temporarily suspended to x, y & z country/ies' ---- similar to the message they have next to the EFT fee.

Not only is it RIDICULOUS, it comes across as a very poor/shabby/shallow way to treat your customers.

Actually there are crooked "service providers" on AW out to scam members...usually pretending to be escorts and managing to set up more than one profile.

What they should have said though, is that no one should be allowed to profit from a crime...stolen goods and funds do have to be returned.

The thing is...once they have the name and card details of these people....how hard would it be to just ban them if they tried to sign up again with the same name and card? They aren't doing enough to protect us really.

Thanks for trying that! I don't have a US card or US bank account anymore, so I would be in the same boat as you. As far as TTM goes, I only just signed up and don't expect to get paid anytime soon. I assumed they'd have bank transfers sorted by then, or I'd just eat the initial expense of getting their prepaid mastercard and using that to withdraw cash. It would be cheaper than having to pay $50 a pop every time I wanted to withdraw funds.

I messaged you on Twitter- but try not to worry I reckon ours will be in by Monday or Tuesday at the latest. If Cats got a pending payment then it looks like they're all slowly making their way through the System. I doubt we will see any payments over the weekend as the banks probably shut but I'm not sure.

Try and distract yourself now over the weekend if you can its just a matter of waiting now x

Blue-Velvet
10-15-2016, 03:24 AM
I'm with HSBC and mine is still pending (not paid into my actual account yet).

winnipeg: cheques are no more for the foreseeable future. AW will most likely resume allowing us to put through credits on UK bank transfers anytime between now and Monday. They were just waiting to make sure money is actually hitting accounts before allowing the button again. There's Payoneer, but they only pay with a pre-paid Mastercard at this point. There's Paxum who also have a pre-paid Mastercard, as well as the option to do a wire transfer at $50. There are various fees involved in using either of the pre-paid Mastercards.

For those ladies who haven't actually received their funds yet; please do not panic. This doesn't mean you haven't been paid. All it means is that your funds are still with your bank's processing centre. These funds will appear in your account once the processing centre has cleared them. This is likely to be Monday or even Tuesday, depending on how long your processing centre takes to clear funds.

I have had ladies asking if it's possible theirs has been rejected.

I can confirm that this is NOT the case. Had funds had been rejected; they would have been returned to the payment processor by the sending bank in the US - without ANY payments going through.

I am 100% confidence that ALL payments have been made. You just need to wait it out now until after the weekend.

A reminder that if you are banking with Nationwide, Santander etc - these are building societies - Santander is the former Abbey National. Building societies often take longer to clear funds.

Those who bank with HSBC/RBS/Natwest - they all use the same clearance centre which is why some of you are seeing funds.

Barclays use a difference clearance centre so you may not be seeing funds.

10-15-2016, 04:22 AM
Agreed - it is HIGHLY LIKELY they will be showing late Sunday/early Monday. Please do not panic. As I've said; if funds had been rejected by the sending bank, then NONE would have received any funds in their bank. Once funds hit the inter payment & settlement centre at the Bank of England, it means they've passed the hard bit and are going through.

Speaking of "free" anything, I wish AW would start charging people to send us messages. Even if it were just 10p! I feel like 90% of people abuse this system and have zero intention of it ever leading to a paid session. I understand the onus is on us to lure them into a paid session, but for most, this is never going to happen. It's counterproductive when we spend time answering timewaster messages when we could be throwing our efforts and attention towards paying customers. Most genuine questions can be answered in 1 or 2 messages, and if a guy can't pay 10-20p to answer something that's probably on our profiles anyway, I doubt he'll ever pay for a session. I realise I can just ignore messages, but some of them are genuine, and unless I know for sure that somebody is a TW, I try to treat each one as if they're genuine.
