Did he just try to scam me?!
SO i had an imlive customer...i told him give me ur yahoo messenger, and we'll got prvt after u email me a $50 amazon gift card to my email...
and he shows me this screen and it says "confirmed" but not delivered....
and I never got it! On his screen (he gave me a screenshot) it DOES say "confirmed" and his cc info, last 4 digits, etc, BUT two hours later I didn't get the amazon gift card! He was a 22 year old college kid and really upset, b/c he paid and never got a show from me....
does amazon e giftcards really take 1 day+ to be delivered?!
on the screenshot he showed me, it really does say my correct email..
hmm
Re: Did he just try to scam me?!
First of all, why were you asking him for his contact info/trying to get payment outside of Imlive? Second, I would never take his word for it that he send you money for a show. You need to get verifiable confirmation of payment THEN do the show. Be careful.
Re: Did he just try to scam me?!
Sorry but that was a scam.
Re: Did he just try to scam me?!
Sounds like he didn't TRY to scam you... he did.
It's not hard to fake a SS of, well, just about anything... so it's actually very easy to scam people like this.
Re: Did he just try to scam me?!
Dont ever trust screan shots THEY give you girl!
Its SOOO easy to edit them , All they do is color over the other email
then type in yours.

speaking of spamming...
Re: Did he just try to scam me?!
THANKS buffy!
almost got scammer on alertpay too! Actually, how long does it take for alertpay (when a custie pays you) for you to see that it went through?
btw, this scammer's email is [email protected] and he registers as keving1234 on streamate and imlive BEWARE!
hopefully those internet bots that patrol forums harvesting emails will find his... ; )

Re: Did he just try to scam me?!
Hey love - I use Amazon ALOT for payment of my shows.
I have noticed that people who do not have accounts on Amazon and buy you a gift card - they have to make an account I believe - and it takes longer to get the e-mail. I have had to wait almost 2 hours max for the email to come through. I think it's only because of verification.
If they have an Amazon account - you will get the email almost instantly.
I don't even get on Skype for ANY shows until I see that e-mail come through. Screw screenshots and anything else. If I don't get it the e-mail, they do NOT get the show...and I make NOTE of who is crab-ass with me and what not.
I had ONE guy do this to me at one point...He has been shunned from my room and chased out and banned. He is not permitted to enter any contests or raffles until I am paid what I am owed. This guy has tipped me ALOT of money since and until I get my Amazon e-mail, he is SOL.
Just a bit of info - I hope you don't get scammed :(
Re: Did he just try to scam me?!
LMFAO Buffy! I am sooooo using that at one point.
Screw PayPal - I use Cash X since they are adult friendly. :)
But I will def use this and amend it to scare him. :)
Re: Did he just try to scam me?!
omg Buffy you're awesome. :) haha
Re: Did he just try to scam me?!
Amazon gift cards take up to ---> 24 hrs <---- to be sent to your email.
Now what happens if your wrong? You ended up stealing his money.
Secondly, why would you take someone from IMLIVE who isn't a regular to pay via gift card? You deserve CASH MONEY. Newbies don't deserve alternative payment methods! Thats just my personal opinion. They pay you in gift cards now, they will pay you in GUM later.
Re: Did he just try to scam me?!
well he didn't scam you because you didn't do a show lol..maybe u scammed him though if he did pay...i hate to say it but you did a pretty stupid thing..now what if he really did pay and is upset and decides to contact imlive..well there goes your imlive account :/
Re: Did he just try to scam me?!
OMG I saw that loser Kevin1234 in my chat room at least 4 times yesterday! Thank you so much for posting this info.
Re: Did he just try to scam me?!
So, in essence, you were trying to scam Imlive and are upset that Imlive's customer might've tried to scam you? Seems a little ironic, eh?
Why were you trying to take a customer off of Imlive anyway?? ESPECIALLY one you haven't dealt with before. If you want to collect your own payments you should do it the right way by building your own site and clientele. IMO crap like this is *part* of the reason camsites don't pay higher percentages - models scamming traffic from them.
Re: Did he just try to scam me?!
I agree that asking for someone's contact is a no-no but if they just offer it up I go with it.
About the amazon GC, I have purchased them before as gifts and I can INSTANTLY see the code. When you have the code you can copy/paste/send and then paste into your amazon payments account right away.
Re: Did he just try to scam me?!
^It doesn't always work that fast. If you are purchasing an amazon GC for someone you haven't purchased for before, amazon makes you verify your payment info and generally takes a bit of time to process it. It can take HOURS.
This is part of the reason I use the same name on everything - if customers want to find me directly, it is very easy for them to do so. I don't break camsite rules by telling people to contact me offsite, but it is extremely easy for those who wish to find me ;)
Re: Did he just try to scam me?!
I take a loooot of amazon giftcards, and mine always arrive instantly. What's up with y'allz?
I like amazon gc, though, more than alertpay since they seem to fucking take an hour every time for receipt for me. Ridiculous.
Re: Did he just try to scam me?!
Never do a show before that you receive the gift card code
I have been scammed one time a guy sent me a gift card, I saw the code and everything but i didn't redeemed it immediately, I tried to do it after the show and it was not working.
the guy cancelled the purshase immediately after the show (and he was very satified lol)
but I don't think that he can do it i you redeem first and your balance is already loaded
Re: Did he just try to scam me?!
I like payoneer , I always have them forward their receipts so i know instantly.
It works really well, Keeping 98% is always fun ;)
Ive never gotten a wishlist item =[[ But ive just started advertising my wishlist, i want a TON of shit in there so theres plenty of options , of all price rages , i also offer rewards for the higher priority items, I really want some bordellos lol
Re: Did he just try to scam me?!
I had one night where two guys sent me Amazon gift cards and they didn't show up for about a day so I thought they were lying... But sometimes it takes a while I guess. Also never trust anything like that until you've got it in your hands. One time a guy said he bought me 5 pairs of heels and forwarded me the confirmation emails from the websites. He must have canceled the orders later that night. Such a dick!
Re: Did he just try to scam me?!
Mine don't always arrive instantly. He may not be scamming you. Sometimes mine show up a day later or a few hours later. It even says on the website that it will show up a few hours later. I haven't figured out which amazon giftcard is instant.
