This guy tried scamming one of my buddies. Thankfully she outsmarted him and decided to check the "code" before doing a show for him and she of course never received the email confirmation from amazon. The loser was so dumb he forgot to crop out his obvious notepad oppsie at the bottom of the screen. It's clear that this joker has created his own false amazon "receipt" and has been scamming girls so often that he saves it in notepad.
He also circled (in black) his "proof". Order numbers are not the same thing as claim codes. I circled (in red) a few things to look out for like time of purchase, etc. This is how an egiftcard claim code is supposed to look like. Because I already spent it, I don't mind sharing lol.

Every email that I've gotten from amazon has been glossy and or very bright and colorful. Amazon is very serious about their marketing. They would never send a blank looking receipt. It's clear that he purchased something at one time and used his order number to try and trick other girls. Please do not fall for this ladies, always get your items or money/giftcards in hand first!
1. Look for a confirmation email as it should be from [email protected]
2. Look at the date purchased and check the claim code
3. Redeem your e-giftcard immediately
4. Never do a show or give up anything until you've received your funds/items!
Amazon Wish List scam - Someone will buy something off ur list then cancel it right away . Do not do a show in exchange for WL items because they can do this.
There is a way to check ur list for retracted orders . i dont know how to do that ive just read in other post girls checking so maybe someone that does know can share this info? I would very much like to know as well as know other cam girls know too.
It can be such a drag to have a "nice guy" tell u 'i love u bb lemme go buy u a gift' then 10 min later cancels it. I swear some of them just like fucking w/ you and see u happy then pull the carpet under feet - stupid meanie heads -_- anyway....
Always take a gift card as payment because theres no way to retract them but still use the code and have it in ur account before u start the show .
On token and free chat sites some guys will try and wright tokens/gold/credits in the chat box. CB MFC and SM if ur gifted site currency the entire text line will be highlighted in yellow including their user name.
On SM its the entire line from left to right and a thin black line above and below the golden highlighted area
CB and MFC its just the worded parts only starting from the tippers name so its username: has tiped X tokens and then user notes if they wrote any , if they dont (unless they have a really long username) they'll be some white between the end of the words token thats highlighted and the right edge of the screen
^ Adding onto that: on ImLive it's not possible for a member to tip you before they've bought a show (and rare for them to tip you after.) I guess IML gets a lot of girls from sites that allow tips (SM, MFC, etc) because if you're new guys will try to convince you that they've tipped for you to flash, etc. It's literally not possible for them to do that so any tips that you get in free chat on IML are just losers attempting to scam you.
this is a GREAT thread...someone tried to pull the same amazon gift card scam with me, luckily I caught on to it and he did NOT get a free show out of me lol I've had a problem with some clients who initially buy shows from me and everything runs smoothly and THEN try to scam once they have gained my trust and spent so much. Usually this happens on skype. One user had bought a few shows and spent a very significant amount of MY time telling me ahead of time exactly what he wanted and planning out the shows and all of that time can really add up you know? I'm posting his name in the verified folder because I don't want to deal with a retaliation...and hes definitely immature enough to retaliate! Just another name to add to the black list I guess! He originally found me on mygirlfund. I'm headed over there now to post :)
Super helpful thread! Thanks!!!!!
This is an epic thread! Thanks so much for starting it kortneykay!
I'm just going to post this thread as an example why you should never EVER do anything UNTIL you get paid!
https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/sh...om-skypeez-com!
I mainly do clips right now, and lots of those guys try to scam free shit.
I recently released my first SPH clip, and the amount of dick pics sent to my email has increased by 10. Basically a lot of are trying to get free SPH by pretending to want to buy a custom clip, but asking me to tell them what I think of their tiny dicks first. I always get straight down to business and never look at or comment on any pictures until I am paid.
I also get a lot of emails saying they are looking for a girl to do an XYZ custom clip, but need to see a picture of my feet/hands/mouth, etc first. I never, ever send free pictures to some random person in hopes of getting a custom order. Those guys are the clips equivalent of the 'show pussy and i go private for 20 mins bb' assholes in free chat.
Wow, that's nuts Jinja. I would think it was impossible to get scammed on C4S unless one was extremely gullible because unless they did a chargeback, it would be near impossible to allow them to scam you. If someone was to ask for a custom video, I'd always think that they would pay upfront. When I did customs a while back, I wouldn't even start on a project until payment went through. The clip previews are there for a reason. If those don't convince a guy that he wants to buy, he shouldn't be on that site.
As far as we as sellers go, we should always accept payment first.
Stick this thread!
Giftrocket scam needs to be said in this thread. I remember few girls on here got ripped off via gift rocket.
Yep. I would like to think anyone who has been doing this for a while knows to get payment first, but new girls can be naive and some girls are so desperate to make sales they will send free pictures hoping the guy will buy something from them.Quote:

Lesson 1: Scamming and the Regular (Yes, it's possible!) (long!)
I wanted to touch on this for a bit. As sellers we pride ourselves in our work. Customers who've purchase from us multiple times are pretty awesome, but remember, you are still doing them a service in return for their money.
"Class,(and I'm going with a theme here) repeat after me." "Every customer is replaceable!" Now you!
I think we all know what it feels like to snag a regular who spends, spoils, and makes you feel special. He can appear as a knight in silver armor, or maybe even a subbie who loves to spoil and pamper you. But be very careful with him. He's the most dangerous out of all scammers. I'm not talking about the ones who know the business side of things. I'm talking about the ones who don't think rules apply to them. There are several types of reggie scammers, but I'll just give you an example of the two most dangerous.
Example A: This regular is the millennial version of Daddy Warbucks. He's the type that will tip the highest in your goldshow, MFC room, takes you on long pvts/exl, and spoils you with wishlist items. He always seems to do things because he loves to see you smile and wants you to be happy. Because he's so generous, you start to go the "extra mile" for him. Before long, he wants your number, meet up, make a video/pic set, etc for him. After all, he did drop $200 last week right?
The kicker: Eventually you start doing things for him that he's not paying for. He is now scamming you.
Going the extra mile for him isn't the problem, but are you doing it because he paid upfront, because you want to, or are you doing it because you think you owe him from the time he tipped big? You don't want to lose him because the money was so good, but trust me, you will save yourself headaches. A Daddy Warbucks gone wrong often lead to: Stopping of payment/tips, jealousy, and the "fuck, I should've saved all that money!"
Example B: The Good sub
The sub can be the most dangerous of the two. He appears to be very submissive, to want to please his "Mistress" but he's an innocent looking kangeroo waiting to pounce and he will kick you right in the coochie. He takes you in pvts regularly, tips, and will even purchase gifts off of your wishlist. He might even go as far as paying a few bills of yours if you let him.
Before long, his tantrum comes out. He starts topping from the bottom, reminding you of all the things he's "done" for you. You start giving him the extra sessions, photos, FREE foot vids, the works. The reason he's so dangerous? He's a reputation killer if you're not careful. He is capable of: Blackmail, unpaid bills/late payments, tantrums, and false promises. This type WILL post photos/sessions and personal information if he can get his hands on it and charge back.
Remember that when a customer "spoils" you, he did it on his own accord. You owe him absolutely nothing in return. If you are offering a service, and he is paying for that service, you've already done all you need to do. There is a controlling aspect of both of these regulars. Controlling through monetary gifts and money is a real problem. Please, don't get caught up, know when to draw the line.
Always be in control
Business is business
Respect yourself= Protecting yourself
Keep your feelings in check
I've heard that some banks will not recognize giftrocket assuming it's fraud and chargeback. By the time you notice it, the money is no longer in your account, and you've already done the show. That and I think I heard that giftrocket won't accept/recognize some payments and will give it back to the customer.
I have used gift rockets many times with no problems but I decided to stop using it after several negative reports from other camgirls on here. I didn't want to take a risk.
****ALERT!****ALERT!****

Ever notice how guys who mention in their usernames (or otherwise) how hot or nice (or rich, or well endowed) they are... umm... never are?
It sounds better as, nicehot69 lol.
Wrong post x
I think ur post is in response to this thread
https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/sh...cam-or-a-whale
Yup, and the same goes for a lot of the guys whose screen names imply that they're big spenders (Baller12345, HighRoller12345, DJMoney, BigMoney, BigTipper, DollaBills, etc.). They probably pick those screen names to sound cool, and to fuck with models' heads...because they figure models will kiss their ass in an attempt to get that money.Quote:
