Hey, I have tried to help some Canadian ladies sign up and they are having issues with verifying their phone numbers and payment options. If you could:
1. Tell Me what to tell them to verify phone?
2. How they can get paid? It appears to be only ACH? Can they do this if they are Canadian?

3. I pimped out my link to A TON of girls but no $10 :( Does that not work for them?

Hi Kat:

For Canadians, unless they get a US dollar bank account (this is possible in Canada, e.g. google “toronto dominion us dollar account”), they're limited to monthly check payment for the moment.

Phone verification should work just fine. If it continues to be a problem have them contact [email protected] with their details including phone number.

As for pimping your TAF link, thank you! We're working on an improvement that will credit referrers for their friends who become providers, not just customers. Once this change goes live, the system should retro-actively credit you for all qualified members, regardless of whether they spend or earn.

We don't send emails regarding payments. I'll pass that idea on to the team. Sounds helpful.

Regarding closing chats, great minds think alike! We just released this feature this week. For those who haven't found it, on the web, hover over a card in list of phrends on the right side of chat and click the gear icon that pops up. You'll see a list of commands, including "close". This just archives the chat. It'll pop up again if your phrend messages you.

is this still going to be introduced to europe? and will the UK be included?

Eventually, Pixie, but we aren't actively working on international expansion right now. We've been focusing on refining our product for the North American market, especially iOS and Android apps, which are sorely missing at the moment. I'll be sure to let you know when we turn our attention to the UK and Europe.

so ive been trying to place an ad on BP and it says" Oops!
An error occurred while placing your ad. Email us at [email protected] for additional info. Please include the ad you are trying to place."

wth? :( does anyone know why?

Lotus, I've gotten that message so many times too. I only recently placed a successful ad on BP (tho I'm pretty sure I got no Phrendly signups from it). Anyway, I think that site is pretty picky with what kind of postings they accept :/

Just as a little warning - open up a new browser and make sure you all are showing up when you search for yourself under the correct age range and ethnicity. I just had to message phrendly because I am not listed on the site at all unless you manually search for my username (which would probably never happen) and/or a keyword that I have on my profile (such as "nerdy" which is more likely to happen but, let's be honest, guys are most likely going to click with who they see on the page). So, for those not earning on the site like me - this could be the reason why. If you're not showing up, just message them and hopefully they can resolve it for us all soon.

I recently returned to this site and although I was getting texted fine before now nothing, so I saw your post here and searched mine and sure enough, nothing!

Thanks for sharing this info. I emailed support, hope they can fix it for me soon.

So many questions :)

1. BP: Fiddle with the words. Just post the link as an URL. that is what I did. Just say lonely, looking for company and chat. and put some pics up.

2. On BP and listings/emails and CL/ Google: disposable emails. there are literally hundreds of options. some are good for 48 hours, some are good for 15 mins. www.throwawaymail.com is good for 48 hours.

3. I will tell my canadian girls to refer to this thread.

4. Just tried tweeting my Affiliate code and told them to search for me KLttyKat on there for "free sexting and chat" I will let yall know how that goes --we shall see?

I'm getting fed up with Craigslist too because of the phone verification thing. I even paid $12 to a service so it would give me alternative phone numbers to use, but I never got my verification codes for Craigslist through those numbers. I haven't had much luck on BP but I'm going to try changing my approach to see if that works. Also I made a PlentyOfFish account to try to get some guys to sign up off there. The acct will probably be closed for violating terms but it's worth a shot lol This is just a shame tho because I got so many dudes to sign up thru CL when it actually worked..

They got back to me pretty quickly, but they were super secretive about why they closed my account without notice. I tried to log in one day and got an error message telling me to contact support. When I did they said the account was closed. I asked why and they said they couldn't tell me.

I had a cute vanilla style pic and persona, but I think they weren't sexy enough. I wanted to take some new ones now that I have access to a new webcam. I think I'm going to focus on clips and niteflirt for now. I'm a little bummed/surprised this didn't work out because my tinder/okc is always poppin- so I figured this would be great!

Oddly enough, even though it says your number can only be assigned to an email every 90 days. I verify all my bogus emails with the same cell phone number every time. It never gives me shit.
and craigslist is a little crowded these days with BP being censored. I tried using my Jupiter FB page to promote and FB flagged me with the whole "upload a gov. issued id" like where the fuck am I supposed to get a photo ID that says "Jupiter James" lmfao
but like I said, im still searching for the best promotional tools for this site, I had no intention on having to move and I just got wifi tonight.
Hopefully we will find something better than CL

When making a new profile picture....are u suppose to check that you want your pictures to be voted on?

Checking that box will make your GIFs eligible to be sent out in a weekly mail where we ask guys to help you decide which is the better pic. They vote (and are taken to a page where they can keep voting on girl after girl) and are given an easy way to send a message to each person on the voting page. The vote tallies show up on your profile page on the bottom of each GIF.

Bottom line: yes, you should check that box to maximize your exposure.

I got my other account deleted. Maybe bc I have a static IP? i do some work that i have to have a static IP and can't use a VPN. So IDK :( I will find a way.

DDoS attack: Distributed Denial of Service. Attackers flooded certain payment processors with data requests and they could not process payments. It happend a few times today. Several Adult related sites were affected including NF. I think it depends on who the payment gateway is.

Usually, your account stays up from POF for a couple weeks before they discover you advertising something. OKCupid does not work for any advertising :)

Agreed. I have quite a few "phrends" who want to chat with me but I'm not willing to work for a company that has removed a girl from their site without explanation. I'll respond to my new "phrends" after I have some confirmation that I will not be a victim of their alleged lackluster model retaining skills.

I get it and I am sympathetic. Here’s a perspective from the other side — bear with me as I set a context. It’s 2017 and criminals no longer wear masks and striped shirts and hoist their booty over their shoulders in cartoonish burlap sacks after robbing a house or a bank. Crime has migrated en masse to the web, and it is now a global, serious, and widespread phenomenon. Every e-commerce site is a target to thousands of criminals the world over for whom an attack is a low risk, low cost affair that can be executed anonymously, efficiently and ruthlessly from anywhere at any time.

Starting a business in this environment is not for the faint of heart. A paid marketplace for relationships, e.g. Phrendly or a dating site or a cam site, etc is a particular target for scammers, who try to exploit not just vulnerable systems, but vulnerable people, too.

We, like anyone who cares about the safety and security of their users, invested heavily in security infrastructure and systems that can help us to identify scammers and criminals. These systems consider dozens of factors in determining a “good” user from a bad one. For the most part, they work well. Of course, there may be the occasional “false positive”: someone who shares a profile similar to that of “bad” users, but is actually “good”. That may or may not be the case here. By necessity, when an account is closed on the basis of a weighting of suspicious factors, we can not disclose what these factors are. This would just provide information to scammers to better circumvent our systems.

I realize this answer might not be satisfying to everyone. I only hope you can see that the systems are in place to make Phrendly a safe place for you and your customers to conduct business. I appreciate the sentiment that it’s not comforting to work on a platform where your account might be closed for an arbitrary reason. I can assure you this is the *opposite* of what happens (and it happens in a tiny minority of profile reviews). Decisions are not at all arbitrary. Everyone is put through the same process and those of you with an accepted profile passed.
