The reason we are in this position is because an allegation was made to Visa that one of the models on CMD engaged in illegal activity during a show. We do not know if this allegation is true or not as we have not been provided with enough information to investigate the claim. We are doing everything we can to address the matter as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, it is a time consuming process. We appreciate your patience.
Don't want to speculate too much, but that sounds to be like a crooked 'customer' went to visa for a chargeback and made an allegation against a model as the reason.
Ughh, this is awful. That's really the only explanation. What, did a model just spontaneously do something illegal all by herself and the customer was so concerned and offended that he had to report it? Doubt it. I'm betting that it's either bullshit all around or the customer asked for it (which makes reporting it doubly stupid.)

Re: The CamModel Directory Thread
CMD has pretty much become a back-burner site for me over the last 6 months now I am $5 a min I don't get as much business, however I do get longer shows when they come along and this problem with the payment processor does indeed suck.
It's another example of how quickly our income can be taken away outside of our control, similar to when the payout company debacle happened with Pacnet last year :( It's on such a knife-edge at all times.

The customer is most likely a scam artist. Visa is very coy when it comes to details and I don't think they'd they go into details about what was said, which makes it worse.

Re: The CamModel Directory Thread
"June 14 2017 - In order to protect CMDs traffic and give you a better chance to convert clients willing to pay for a show, we have removed the payment notice from the home page and added a popup when the client clicks the purchase button letting them know to contact you about payment. Hopefully we will receive information soon about our current application with a new payment processor. We will inform you when we have more information to share."
this new update from CMD. still many clients refuse to pay somwhere else.

Yes, any company that is high risk should have more than one processor & preferably from a different bank so if one goes down, they both don't go down unless Visa gets involved.

Could be a competitor too. That wouldn't surprise me in the least.
Happened to me years ago that I lost my MIDs due to a competitor :(

Re: The CamModel Directory Thread
I am trying to set up my indiebill pages:( Is there anywhere I can see some examples ?

Re: The CamModel Directory Thread
**Cries hysterically and logs into SM** Nooooo
noooo
Well, guess I'm going to have to send my regs to LCMS and indiebill if he doesn't get it sorted.

Re: The CamModel Directory Thread
Mark has removed the message, which is a good call imo. :)
-
Re: The CamModel Directory Thread
Yes it is. If it's a new client to CmD they won't know the difference and will just assume this is how it's done. Either way works for me. Hope it gets fixed soon.

Re: The CamModel Directory Thread
this totally sucks.... it says it might not be fixed before the end of next week....
My b day is on the 20th, I want b day money! LOL

Re: The CamModel Directory Thread
Can we even advertise IndieBill on CMD ? i was going to add the link to IndieBill payment page but i'm not sure it's correct ...what a mess
-
Re: The CamModel Directory Thread
Had a reg who likes pics come by today and thankfully he was willing to pay through LCMS that was an easy $50 before I even tackled SM. I've not had anyone complain about paying elsewhere yet but then again I make them think they literally have no choice and if they want the show they have to do what I say.
I love submissive obedient men!

From what I understand they want us to wait till a guy contacts us then give your alternate payment info out through Skype.

Re: The CamModel Directory Thread
What a nightmare. I'm spending half of my working time trying to explain and coax customers to other sites- so far, very few are actually game for using other options. I get it- the other options aren't as discreet, straightforward, reliable and flexible as CMD. They just want to jerk off, and jump through as few hoops as possible to do so. But if CMD is down for the long term, I worry that it's going to drive a substantial portion of the traffic away permanently.
One thing I am confused about is how the site can be accountable for what one model decides to do. Surely other (SUBSTANTIALLY larger) cam sites have had this problem before. Unless the model was openly advertising illegal shows on her page, why would they penalize the site so severely?

For me, IndieBill. But while my regs trust me and are using it, noobs haven't been too eager to try. Then again, if a large portion of us are directing guys there, maybe they'll eventually give in.

Re: The CamModel Directory Thread
Yeah I also have trouble getting these guys to pay anywhere else but CMD so although I am not losing as much money as you all cuz I don't seem to get a lot indy business- I have definitely lost out on a few shows and this sucks.

Re: The CamModel Directory Thread
This is the latest update today. June 16 2017 - "One of the reasons this issue has taken so long to resolve is that when our merchant bank closed our account, they also put us on the match list. This is a blacklist that prevents a merchant from being able to obtain a new merchant account ANYWHERE. We have been negotiating with our merchant bank to try and get removed so we can find another payment processor. We finally received word this morning that they will remove us from the match list. This means we can proceed with obtaining a new payment processor. We still have to go through that process and be approved. Once approved we will need to do development to integrate with the new payment processor. However, at this point the major roadblock that was holding us up has been removed. We will send an update once we have approval on the new payment processor".
