Besides, I'd not trust a site that will not ask me for a couple of pictures/IDs, documents etc in the first place and would never work there.
This makes since not to trust a site not requiring your real info but I was wondering if theres a way to change your name maybe and then open an llc and be paid that way? But then if I ever need a vanilla job for any reason which name do I give them? lol. My birth name or my changed legal name? I think id have to give both. I wouldnt mind being outed as a cam girl as long as my employer ( if I should ever need one didn't) I wouldnt be found out by family because my face wouldnt show so I am not worried about that.

Re: Identity not being discovered while camming
There's only one way around it and that is to NOT do it!

Re: Identity not being discovered while camming
Think of attempting to cam like walking in to a regular business and trying to get employment without giving them any information...
It's not going to work.
The place of business has to cover their ass legally, and so do camsites. They are places of business. Any site that doesn't require information won't be active long.
And sure, you could use a fake name/fake ID/etc... but it'll bite you in the ass as you're committing fraud. If you use fake info, it's unlikely you'll get approved. And then if you do get approved, that site can get shut down for not having legal age verification paperwork on you to verify you are old enough to be camming. With all the crack downs on child porn, good luck! lol

Re: Identity not being discovered while camming
seriously, please dont sign up to cam if you fear all the steps it takes to sign up. It will be a pain in the ass to you and to the site.
You are taking the risk of throwing all of us under the bus when committing fraud. It can shut a site down.
Say you are a federal agent and doing this to see if sites do not check thoroughly ...... do you get where I am going?

Re: Identity not being discovered while camming
^^I get it and was never planning on doing this, I myself dont want the trouble this will bring, I was only wondering if there was a legal way to get around this and only be paid through my LLC and not have my real name attached. Thats all, if there isn't ok fine but I wanted to see if there was first before signing up and giving all my info.

Officers of LLC are public record.

Re: Identity not being discovered while camming
I'm totally not trying to get into your shiz or sound sarcastic,I'm just clueless,but did (or do you) pay your taxes for stripping? I've never been an exotic dancer so I'm in the dark but I'm assuming that even if some or most clubs do not hand out 1099's,you're still legally obligated to report your wages and/or tips etc right? If I'm completely wrong in my assumption,just ignore what I've written below lol.
I know you said you're leery of your info being leaked but I'm trying to address the other issue that you stated - that you're concerned about it coming back to bite you in the ass later like through future employers finding out etc.If you've ever filed your taxes for stripping,what did you file it under-as in,what did you say your occupation was? Were there ever 1099's issued by any of the clubs you've worked at? If any of the clubs have ever issued a 1099,or you've ever filed as self employed and stated that you were a dancer,then wouldn't the "damage" already be done?
Sex workers tend to get lumped into one big category - most ppl aren't going to care if you were a stripper,camgirl,or escort etc You could argue the differences til you were blue in the face but most likely they'd say you were just "splitting hairs" so to speak-to most of them,sex work is sex work is sex work,period,point blank,the end...
So if there is ANY sort of trail/evidence at all that you were (are?) a dancer,then it most likely wouldn't make a difference if you cam bc that "blot" is already on your record. Of course,I understand not wanting to add any sort of fuel to the fire,or add to your chances of something between the two showing up in a background check etc etc, but I just wanted to throw my 2 cents out there in case you hadn't considered this yet..
Whatever you decide to do,I wish ya the best of luck! ( I know it can be scary deciding whether to take the "plunge" or not...I debated for quite awhile before I did myself)

Re: Identity not being discovered while camming
1) blackmail is illegal
2) ID is essential to make sure u r not underage
3) if any1 did see the photo of u holding up ur name next to an ID, why is it nessesserily (spelling?) for a porn site? - people upload face next to ID for a multitude of reasons online, I myself have 3 times now had to do this for NONE ADULT websites, completely normal everyday sites that ur grandma would visit. So unless ur going to write "THIS IS FOR A PORN SITE" on ur t-shirt in the photo u take, none of them have asked me to write the sites name on the photo next to my ID. If they do then go to a different site. i am 100% sure that MYFREECAMS.COM does not ask for this. then i think youre ok if it gets leaked, which it won't because all these sites we use have privacy policys and if they leaked ur ID pic they will end up arrested.

Re: Identity not being discovered while camming
You can get paid to your LLC but the gov't knows who owns it. Even if you get one in a state like New Mexico as soon as you declare income through it your anonymity goes away. LLCs work well for establishing employment for renting, credit, etc. but you can't hide anything from the government, so while it will offer some protection from the general public if you plan on working for a government agency the background check they will do will discover that you are the owner of the LLC and that you got paid by a porn company. So it is helpful for some things but not foolproof. And there is 110% no way to get around sending in your ID and you would be putting EVERYONE at risk by sending in a fake one.

Re: Identity not being discovered while camming
I personally would not want to work for a website that did not want my information. That means they could be employing minors, which I would not want to be associated with. Any site that did not verify your ID and age would be extremely shady and I certainly wouldn't trust them with my money. That's just me.
Also, I would think twice about camming if you are that paranoid about being outed. Of course, most of us worry about that, but it's a risk we take and you need to go in with that knowledge. If your life would be ruined by being outed, don't cam. I also wanted to say that it is going to make camming much more difficult if you never ever show your face. Sure, it could be done, but it's likely going to limit your success. Just my .02
Lastly, I can't recall any other job I've ever had that did not require ID. Camming is no different.

Re: Identity not being discovered while camming
If you are this paranoid about camming, it is not the job for you. This isn't a judgment, just an honest opinion.

I have paid taxes but I put my occupation as self contractor or writer.lol. and no 1099 has ever been issued for me by any club but I do have an adult entertainers license in my real name with my picture so you are probably right the damage has been done there.

Camming + Public Service work?
Hi all,
I'm a relatively new cam girl, but I enjoy it and I am working to be more consistent with my time and efforts. I made the mistake of looking at the my student loans account last night (nearing $50k -___-) and now feel even more overwhelmed with money problems. I graduate college in the fall and I would really like to join Americorp. Has anyone done this, or do you know if my camming history will prevent me from being hired by the government for public service work?
I'd really like to move to a new city and do some good work, but I would still like to cam on the side. I spent ages 18-22 being on/off homeless and so stability is a huge factor in my mental well-being. I think the public service work would be satisfying, while providing enough money for stable housing and whatnot, the education grant could go towards loans, and camming could go towards those extra expenses and savings.
[Also, I've read some topics on here about student debt, so before anyone judges me on mine: I go to a public state university that costs 5k a semester, I've gone all 3 semesters for the last 3 years, and the small remainder of my loans each semester went towards keeping a roof over my head. I even spent my first semester living in a homeless shelter. I'm 25 and I've worked 24 various jobs (not including camming) to support myself and have continuously struggled. I have not spent my loans on luxuries for myself. I do not own any iProducts. I wish I had discovered and considered camming years ago.]
That all said, I'd appreciate any information or advice on camming + working in public service/loan forgiveness.
Thanks,
Bux

Re: Camming + Public Service work?
I was looking at the Americorps website and a lot of the opportunities say: "Prohibits paid work outside of the sponsoring agency at any time ." so I think they would most definitely kick your out for camming while in the service... and that's just because it's other income, not because of the pornography aspect. I'm sure they'd have a huge issue with that.
If I were you I'd just cam like crazy and save up a lot. Camming should provide a somewhat easy way to pay your bills and start paying off debt. I am beginning to pay off my student debt and pay my bills/rent at the same time with camming. It can be done.
-
Re: Camming + Public Service work?
Thanks for looking into it. I do understand that some positions in Americorp do not allow outside work, but plenty of them do. I know that I could possibly pay everything with camming, but for my mental healthy I need to have some stability so I am not stressed day in and day out and whether or not I'm going to be able to pay everything. I don't want to live like that forever. My main concern here is whether or not camming specifically would prevent me from being hired for Americorp.
-
Re: Camming + Public Service work?
The best way to answer your question would be to call Americorp.
We are not Americorp.
Call, e-mail, write, etc... It's not like you have to disclose your name when you contact them to ask.
-
Re: Camming + Public Service work?
Really, this isn't Americorp?
Thanks for being so helpful. I just wanted to know if anyone already had experience with getting or trying to get some sort of government-related public service work after camming, and if they had run into problems.
I'll be sure to give the government a ring and ask them if they allow sex-workers to help the homeless.
Thanks!

"Hi! I'm new! I'm going to ask a question that is highly unlikely anyone here has the answer to! And then, when someone does research on the website for the company and answers kindly, I'm going to tell them it isn't specific enough! And then, when someone gives me advice to contact the company and not disclose your name to ask the question I'm going to give a smartass reply to them!"
That's cool. I'm a smartass too!
However, contacting them and asking anonymously is the best answer me, and most girls here, will be able to give you.
There are many threads that already exist asking about public sector and government work and how it is affected by camming.
There is also this thread which helpfully can point you in the direction of those threads: https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/sh...girl-Questions
If you're too afraid to do the research with Americorp about whether or not it will affect a future career there to cam, then you probably shouldn't be camming.
I understand that camming can give you the life where you can afford to live. That's why we're all camgirls! So we can pay our bills in a way that fits our needs.
It sucks that the world, and government in particular, judges sex workers, but they do.
Fact of the matter is camming can easily fuck up many future careers, especially in any field with a background check.

Re: Camming + Public Service work?
Being sarcastic and rude gets you nowhere, particularly on this forum as well as in life. ESPECIALLY when you are asking for help.

Re: Camming + Public Service work?
I responded to smartass with smartass. I'm not sure how else I was supposed to respond to your "We are not Americorp" comment. Obviously this is not Americorp. I wasn't asking anyone to do any research for me. I have done research but I don't see detailed information about background checks and what they screen for. I don't see why it is unreasonable for me to ask if anyone here has been in a similar situation. Plenty of girls cam and then do vanilla jobs on the side or afterwards. Plenty do it through school and then work other careers.
When girls ask questions about other camming related things like, taxes, I don't see anyone getting snarky and saying.
"This isn't a forum for Certified Public Accountant advice."
I have no problem with the first responder. I appreciate that she looked into it, but she didn't answer my question. I already knew that some jobs did not allow you to work any additional job. I wanted to know if camming would disqualify me. And that's fine that she couldn't answer it, but I hoped that someone else might be able to.
I'm not an idiot just because I'm new. I actually did look around in those threads prior to posting, and didn't see anything specifically related. I don't know why it's so wrong for me to post hoping that someone with much more knowledge of these things may have experienced or heard of something like this being a problem for public service work. If no one had an answer, that would have been fine.
I'd like to sincerely thank those who did try to help, even if I didn't get the solid answer I was looking for.

Just because my help wasn't the answer you were looking for doesn't mean it wasn't help. You just didn't want to hear it. I never said you were an idiot. No one did.
One thing you'll learn on this forum is we don't always sugar coat and give super sweet answers, but we do give the best answers we can.
And it's unlikely that the no additional jobs qualification is what will prevent you from working there unless they use it as an excuse to fire you or not hire you for being a camgirl. It's the fact that being a camgirl is in the sex industry that can and likely will block you from government public sector work.
