do they do geo blocking on AW ? And are most of the users from the UK or is it a worldwide mixture?

Hi, yeh AW has Geo blocking.

I would hazard a guess 60%-70% come from the UK alone then the rest split between other countries.

Princess Jenny, forgive me for always bugging you about these things, but you seem to know all about AW. For the 2nd week in a row now I have missed payment cutoff because of a .03 negative balance. I unchecked every credit and nothing changed. To start with though it was a neg. balance of over $100.00.??? I pay some feature fees and such, but aren't these already taken off? So now I won't get a check for 3 weeks, and still have this .03 hanging around for next week. i just don't understand why this is happening so much on my account. I clicked the link to have AW deal with the .03, but I know it's gonna happen again.

I dont fully understand it either sorry. If you PM me your email address for AW I can send a credit through to see if that clears your neg balance problem for you.

Thanks

Anybody else get blocked off from AW webcam last night for reverification? From the email I got it seems US girls are getting lumped into the group with Romanian girls. It was late and didn't cut in to my actual camming time, but now I'm getting nervous because I STILL can't access webcams. If I have to miss a whole weekend over this BS I will be LIVID!

Ahh interesting. So they're now making all US girls reverify, presumably with a passport?

BlondebombGA
09-14-2012, 11:45 AM
No, I originally signed up with a passport, so I was really confused when the notice popped up upon logging in. They wanted 2 forms of ID this time in a face pic. I did this, and then again a little while ago I get another pop up that now they want a face pic with the ID I uploaded. (yet again my passport) I have no idea what they want from me.

AW re-verify all accounts randomly, usually after 6months to make sure its still being used by the person verified on it.

BlondebombGA
09-15-2012, 09:25 AM
Ah Ok PJ. Good to know. That little pop up scared the life out of me. Thought I had done something wrong. Couldn't they just say have your pics and documents to us within 24 hours or we will block you instead of blocking first??

Segment from AW answer on here

"most don't seem to action anything until we
deactivate them. We warn, ask nicely etc., but are ignored until their
profile goes offline."


People tend not to take action until their pockets are affected.

I am now signed up for AW and all ready to sign up through daily pay with you. Are you still offering transfers to Canadian bank accounts? If so, what do I need to make it happen? :)

BlondebombGA

Anonymous camgirl, there is no other option. My account got suspended overnight Friday while they re-verified me, even though I had already signed up with my passport. It's a must to work on AW now if you are a foreign girl.

well I only make 100 or so a week on there.. not worth getting a passport for that I have no intentions of using for a long time to come!.. they mentioned other options to me.. sad cuz i have been on there for 4 damn years...
they mentioned birth certificate and what not..

Will they still pay me even if my account is suspended?

Hi, use this transfer form once we process the account we will email you back asking for payment details.

Thanks

Any pending transfers will still automatically be sent to you. Any non transferred credits you may have to contact AW support and ask them to make the transfer for you and give details of the circumstances

Not sure if you ladies know this yet, but you can now see who has been calling you on directchat here http://www.adultwork.com/MyDirectChatCalls.asp

Classy_Katy
09-18-2012, 07:14 AM
It's a new feature so we can block them now. Also, they have to be in call for 4 minutes before leaving feedback rather than a few seconds...they can't call on directchat repeatedly to leave negative feedback anymore.

Vlodina
09-18-2012, 07:17 AM
We could always see who they were, after the call. However, the 4 min for feedback, and the blocking feature - loving it!

eta: I wish we could know who they are BEFORE answering the call.

Yeah, but I wasn't able to always see who I missed calls from. Sometimes, it would show up, other times, no. So, this is a very useful change for me.

Hello, got a question for u ladies please, is there any way to get rid of the real display country & nationality on this site? I mean i signed up with them directly, made some small money but i am not happy members can see my real location and nationality, i cam since 12 years and people will often recognize me on these sites, my location and nationality are made up everywhere but on AdultWork there is no way to hide it. I dont want one of my members to find out who i am and where i am located for real but i wish to work with site if i can manage to change location/ nationality there. Anyone that knows some tricks pls? Thank you!

Classy_Katy
09-19-2012, 01:31 AM
I'm afraid you can't put in a different country and if you do, the system will show which country to appear to be from, but you don't need to say where in that country you are.

Vlodina
09-19-2012, 01:34 AM
Lying about your country/nationality is considered 'fraud' by Adultwork. If you lie about your nationality it is likely that they will question it, as your ID you provided will show otherwise. If you change what country you are in, your profile will then show where you are "assessing from". For example it will say that you are in Ireland, but assessing from Vatican City. Xx

AliceFun
09-19-2012, 02:38 AM
Thank you ladies, looks like i need to delete my profile as i really dont want to disclose my country and nationality AT ALL, this will ruin my reputation so better not. I must say this is really stupid how they do things, they miss alot of money that could be made from camming, what is the point to reveal such infoes if girls offer just cam work? All other sites let u decide what to tell about ur location/ nationality but them, grrr. Absolutely stupid management & rules.
Thanks again xoxo

Not stupid at all. Stops people tricking the customers into thinking they are really in UK and therefore taking our business and giving the rest of us a bad name.

AliceFun
09-19-2012, 08:54 AM
Yeah, whatever, the site works in british nationals favor, i can understand that to a certain point but why they accept models from other countries too if they wanna keep business only for brits? I see things like this: you (the site) either accept only UK nationals and make it a local business or accept all others but make it a fair business, dont disclose location/ nationality so everyone can make money on site. Obviously the non UK performers are in disadvantage including the fact they cant charge as much as brits but hey, if they bring money in even in these conditions Why not? from site point of view. You Hypocrites AW!

sexysusie
09-19-2012, 09:01 AM
All the sites except aw are harder for uk girls because of conversion rates, bank fees, lower placement, and upload speed requirements. So don't feel so hard done by, you're better off than we are. Also, I think pretty much all the US girls I know on AW tend to charge more than most uk girls ;)

What's so wrong with showing your country anyway, are you worried you won't get as much business?

AliceFun
09-19-2012, 09:29 AM
I agree with what u saying about how hard is for UK nationals on other sites, i was living there for a year and know what means to earn american dollars and pay everything in pounds, that was one of the reasons i left the country.
Yes, i dont want members to see my country & nationality 1st of all cause it will ruin my reputation (someone who knows me from other sites will find out my real country/ nationality) plus i'll loose business, yes, i wanna make it profitable and make good money but members will not pay a non UK girl same like they pay a UK performer, i tried around with prices. A UK girl can charge more than 2 pound a min but there are non uk girls charging as low as 0.7 pound a min in order to get members, see the difference? Not good for me. Anyway, i still say AW could profit alot more financially if they'll not enforce this rule but i think they wanna offer UK performers the advantage of benefiting on this UK based site.
Have peace!

Private gallery scamming has a lot to do with the requirement to be honest about your country. If a girl (or a man, a lot of the scammers are men with pics nicked off the internet) sets up a profile saying she escorts in London, and adds a private gallery, she'll get sales on that private gallery from potential punters in London.

Whilst AW can't really be sure that everyone who says they escort actually does, it's pretty likely that someone from Peru isn't likely to be hopping on a plane to London every other day.

The other thing is that, from the webcam customer POV, if girls are saying they're in the UK, and then clearly aren't, it just gives a vibe of dishonesty that reflects badly on the site.

To be honest, there's nothing flags a profile up as 'foreign' more than seeing "group 60ppm/private 80ppm" (Apart from the odd ones where the profile is of the girl, grim faced and unsmiling, wearing her winter coat outside a warehouse) If a non-UK girl has a decently worded profile, and charges a reasonable price rather than the cheapest possible, I see no reason why she won't do well.

Where are you from though, that if people knew it would 'ruin your reputation'??? Surely nowhere is THAT bad?

sexysusie

The girls charging 70p per min are all in studios. The US girls I have seen all charge £1.50 at a minimum ($2.40)

Dammit, dammit dammit!!!! I missed 2 bookings tonight somehow, and the stupid notifier still doesn't chime or whatever to clue me in. What is with this thing? And then I missed a Direct IM when I went to the bathroom. Poor guy tried 3 times. F^%king Murphy's Law. All night right next to my pc and then 5 minutes away, and bam.

I'm literally sick to my stomach when I miss $ opportunities like that...all new clients too. I'm so upset with myself right now! I'm almost physically ill for missing these. I don't know why I'm having this reaction, but I am really upset with myself. Maybe it's because I've been a little unmotivated this week to work, so when I see all this potential slipping through my fingers it just makes me feel even worse. I don't know how I missed these, and I hate looking flaky to potential clients. I'm just trying to breath and start anew tomorrow...and take the damn laptop with me to the bathroom next time. At least I was able to email the bookings I missed, but who knows if they'll try again.

I know it's stupid, but I am almost in tears over this. How did I miss these, and why am I overreacting!!!????!!!!!! Someone please say something to make me not carry this feeling over tomorrow. I'm taking a sedative and going to bed. :(

Vlodina
09-23-2012, 01:34 AM
It's a bitch when that stuff happens, especially when you've been slacking then you miss opportunities to make money. I got rid of the notifier - I both didn't trust it, and it was annoying. I also got rid of the text alerts (those bloody texts every two hours, grrr!). I just keep my phone with me at all times for emails coming through.

I was logged on for just group and private webcam once and I left and went to watch TV in the living room without logging out, came back to discover 4 people had tried to cam with me. Grrr fucking grrr. I've missed booking through no fault but my own in the past. I would just tell them that I was already in a booking and that's why I didn't get back to them in time. I'm just so damn popular! ;-)

Make the most of today. xxxxxxxx

I feel the same when justcamit plays up (chucking my customers out of group or not letting them into private)...as if it's not hard enough sometimes, the last thing you need is the system working against you!

Try not to worry about the missed guys...they might well try again another time. I've been out of the zone this week and I've pretty much accepted it as down time...sometimes we need it even though it's not what we want.

BlondebombGA
09-23-2012, 08:24 AM
Oh thank you ladies. What a difference a good nights sleep makes. Forgive my temporary crazy rantings. I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who thinks the notifier is glitchy. I actually think the solution for now (except for reading Vlodina's post...lol) is to get the unlimited International texts through my cell company so at least I'll for sure get those alerts. I've been avoiding it as I didn't think the fee would be worth it, but I would have made it back 5 times over last night. Oh well...I continue to learn lessons in this business everyday. You ladies are so wonderful. Has anyone told you that lately??? Because you are. xxxooo

PS- Vlodina already knows I think she is the sexiest little thing in all of Scotland, but Katy I saw you online last night and peeked at your pics and you are adorable! Loved your school girl pics. :)

Tell them to ring your direct chat x

Classy_Katy
09-25-2012, 10:19 PM
if someone requests to call your mobile while in private how does that work?

It only works if you've already decided you want to offer that service...some girls (including me) have a separate mobile phone that we use for private sessions if the guy wants to call (the number typed during the private session so they can call it). It's an extra incentive to offer phone for free, it's better than having 2 way audio during cam 2 cam as it eliminates the speaker feedback problem. I've done this for over a year and only once had contact outside the session, and that was one text message.

You can suggest that they call you via directchat and pay extra but girls sometimes find that directchat is playing up and telling the guy that they're not available when in fact they are.

LaurenAus
09-25-2012, 10:26 PM
ahhh okay thank you guys. Yes I'm offering direct chat however a lot of these guys are just asking to directly call me--but i dont have a separate phone, i'm also in the states so i guess they'd be paying extra fees? Not sure

Classy_Katy
09-25-2012, 10:53 PM
Yes, they'd have to pay international charges so I expect directchat would be cheaper for them! Just tell them you don't have a mobile number for them to call you on (can say you're in the States), and they have to use directchat instead.
