I had a good experience with adultwork and made good cash from webcam until one day when they suddenly blocked my account with no reason or any explanation. I couldn't contact them and couldn't fix the problem and lost at that time a month of work and my earnings of 700 pounds- I remember until now, i was so angry. I lost the money and since then I never joined again.

In regards to traffic, remember that AW is primarily an ESCORTING site. The majority of guys are looking for someone local to hook up with. As most of the customers are from the UK, they are not going to be interested in US girls, who it's unlikely they'll ever get to meet. Plus on an average day there are somewhere in the region of 300 - 400 girls camming, and only 20 - 40 of those in private. From what I can see those consist of UK girls, and the romanians charging 60p per min.

@Rosie - For 2 way to work you need to have the cam set at H264 video and Speex audio in settings

Actually this is true. I used to get privates without an issue until it seemed like every private was a quick in and out. Surely those pounds rack up nicely:) heheh. One guy today did a private with me on just chat alone. I didn't remove a thing but he did the " hey when I come out that way", "also I notice you don't escort but we can grab dinner". It's as if he forgot the term "escort" actually means just that. Wether it be escorting someone to dinner or escorting someone to the bedroom it's still part of it. So not happening. Now I no longer get mad I just play dumb and go "really??? a few times dragging that chat along.. . There is almost no point in arguing with guys on this anymore. It's exhausting and I find that I stay in a pretty sour mood. Now I just laugh it off as long as I can. If they get really serious I'll just play dumb again with "ooh you were serious??". Pfft!!

The only guys on AW that seem to know their place as "just cam" are the subs or fetish types. Now every vanilla guy I come across is asking for escort work respectfully I might add.

That sucks, and I have heard it has happened to people before. I am terrified it will happen to me!

Yes you're right Cherry. I have the same exact experience. Those vanilla guys with whom I have an initial (nice and simple) mutual masturbation show, with no mention of meeting me for real, invariably come back another time and introduce their (often extreme!) secret fetish to me. They just needed a first session to pluck up the courage haha.

@ Nantia While AW are notorious for switching off profiles without much warning, it is usually for a good reason. Were you showing any nudity in free chat? Mentioning a phone number/ email/ twitter on your profile? Read through the rules thoroughly and you will soon pick up what you were doing wrong.

For some reason, whenever I open JustCamIt (online version), it makes me type in the server address, account ID, username, and password all over again EVERY time...even though I've been selecting 'Remember Me'. I can never remember the account ID, so I always have to open up the AW Help thread to pull up that info. So annoying.

Also, this annoying 'Related Searches' menu (on the left hand side of the screen) always comes up on the screen when I open up JCI. Ugh.

*I'm smiling in this because I wanted to look cute for the screenshot I knew I'd be showing you guys...lmao.*

the search bar thing looks like spyware. does it have a name or anything? press ctl-alt-del and see if theres any names u dont recognise in the task manager.

i opened up videochat and i dont get any of that stuff. and it remembers my name. im also using firefox.

Who are you fuming with? And what do you mean, 'it takes the piss?'

However much money you think you might be losing, times that by 2000 and you might be near to what AW are losing.

It's not intentional and it's not their fault. Chill the fuck down.

Excuse me?? i have every right to be fuming i have bills to pay aswell as loads of other shit and cant afford to be loosing out on money.. Aw are millionaires they should have this shit under control this is the third time since april!! it IS there fault and im not the only one getting pissed off by it happening all the time its getting beyond a joke especialy when they dont let you know its going to take a few days to fix..

My advise to you is this: don't put all your eggs in one basket.

The last time it happened many of us realised how much we had to lose so we signed up with different sites, or we worked harder in our other ventures so we were better prepared.

AW isn't perfect, but kicking them when they're down won't help anyone. Regardless of their financial situation, this loss is effecting them also. Even if it is entirely their fault (which, personally, I disagree with), it isn't their fault that you are solely dependent on the website for your income.

See this as a positive opportunity to try your hand at other camsites, and see if you can still earn when they're down.

erm, for your information i was just as fuming as cassiexx19 and I do work on other camsites, i split cam everyday at multiple sites, yet AW brings me the most money. I made half what i usually would have today because AW is down. it seems to be down a lot lately. and i dont see that cassie has written anywhere that she doesn't have other sites. seems like someone is starting arguements for NO REASON.

Whilst I can understand the frustration, I would just like to remind you all that AW pays the highest % of all the cam sites because they do not cover charge backs or spend huge amounts of money on advertising and security. If this situation was to change we would find our % dropping to cover the costs, ask yourself would you be happier only recieving 40% or less? This is based on the other main site % pay outs. To me AW is my biggest earner but that is partly due to the 70% payout, when it's down sure I get pissed off but not publicly and never directly at them, I get really angry with the pathetic jobless losers that have nothing better to do with their lonely exsistance than to hack into sites and screw up MY income! Then I log onto my other sites and work damn hard to catch up.

Having a family means that I rarely have a full week as planned camming...if one of them isn't ill, I am or my partner has the day off, or I have a delivery to be in for, or I have an appointment or someone in my family has an appointment...there is always something that throws my plans out the window and on top of that there are bad days and good days. Nothing can be taken for granted and I have to take responsibility for that because it is the nature of the beast and up to me to manage it. These consistent attacks on AW are worrying, they're not giving up, and AW has more to lose than us...blaming them is crazy, look to yourselves and your own financial management.

Missy, it is only fraudulent chargebacks that they do not cover.

What's a chargeback?

SexyAleks
07-10-2013, 03:19 PM
When someone uses a stolen credit card. They put the credits in what they call "Manual escrow" and deduct them from your earnings.

TeenageAnnie
07-10-2013, 03:23 PM
well that person was making out like we went on a massive fuming rampage and made a flurry of insults towards AW being offline. all we said was "is it down" "yes its down it takes the piss, LE SIGH" in a way. i just asked if it was down becos i thought it might just be me........ we r allowed 2 express our misery of losing money. its not like we wrote emails 2 AW calling them a bunch of names.

beauvoir
07-10-2013, 03:39 PM
It's not the first time AW went down, and it won't be the last.

Why not make sure you have money in your bank to see you through for a few weeks, to make sure your bills do get paid regardless of where else you work.

Okay, thank you.

By the way, I always use Firefox for JCI...I have to. For some reason, AW/JCI has never worked for me on Google Chrome.

Yeah, I HAVE to use Firefox for AW/JustCamIt, for some reason. It won't work for me on Google Chrome. And I will try what you suggested right no

Yikes...telling her to "chill the fuck down" was mean. She should be able to vent on here without having fellow models telling her to "chill down (I think you meant "chill out" or "calm down?")." Just about every one of us on this forum vent sometimes...we're allowed to.

Dayum why arent people allowed to vent when there money is compromised? @TheBrownFox did you ever get the malware off your computer? You maybe able to roll your computer back to a restore date before the stuff got loaded to your computer. Recently I downloaded a video converter from cnet.com and got stuff that looked like what you have. Ads showed up on everything: Facebook,Tumblr,Twitter it was annoying. Malwarebytes is a good free program that works well too.

So I still have not heard back from AW about changing my location. I re-sent my passport and proof of residency. Lets see what happens? Now my profile reads im still in the states but accessing from the UK. Not quite what I want it to say. Its the auto filters they have in place for IP addresses I suppose that do this. But its all moot, cuz everytime I get ready to cam on there, the site has been having issues. C'est la vie on to the next one.

I went into my Firefox tools, I believe, and had that shit disabled/removed. Also went into my Control Panel and uninstalled anything that looked weird to me. I restarted, and the thing wasn't showing up anymore, so problem solved. System restore would've been the next step if that hadn't worked. Thanks. :)

Hun, let it go. We are all strangers. No one here knows what the other goes through...and to be honest its no ones business. Spreading out and placing ones eggs in many different baskets is good advice. BUT can be insensitive advice when you don't know the full story. Just keep it moving. :)

I know your pain, and I am not even a parent.

Between the money I make and putting aside 40% to pay for taxes at the end by the time I pay my bills there is nothing left to save. :(

May be a stupid question, but I ask anyway because I could not find an answer to it in the thread: When I register on AW, shall I use my real birth date and the real country (actualy I don't want my real country to be displayed in my profile)?

Classy_Katy

You don't have to show your real birth date but you do have to show your real country, otherwise your profile will show the country from which you are really accessing AW.

I've been trying to write AW for help but every time I go to submit my ticket through the help center it says "ticket not submitted" and just shows me a list of FAQ. I just don't know what to do! Any other way I contact them? Any email address I can write to?

I can connect through the JCI software, but not videochat.tv which I prefer.

I'm not sure if y'all saw my post in here a few pages back, but when that attack happened and they changed the server URL...the NEW URL never did work for me. So I tried the old URL (www.adultwork.com/JCI), and surprisingly that one still worked. I logged into JCI (the videochat.tv online version) like an hour ago and was able to connect to JCI.

I don't recommend using the email for something that should go through their ticket system...you'll get told to submit a ticket. I try to avoid getting a slapped wrist from AW, they're very trigger happy when it comes to suspending profiles.
