$15,000 contest for working 4 Hours? My ass..?
So, I am on this webcam site called SecretFriends (SF). They do these kind of contests every week:
Tuesday - Work 4 Hours and you are entered into the drawing for $5000.00
Wednesday - Work 4 Hours and you are entered into the drawing for $15000.00
Thursday - Work 4 hours and you are entered into the drawing for $5000.00
Friday - Work 4 hours and you are entered into the drawing for $15000.00
Saturday - Work 4 hours and you are entered into the drawing for $5000.00
Sunday - Work 4 hours and you are entered into the drawing for $15000.00
This weeks contest is:
1. Ipad Air
2. Rent / Mortgage Paid for 1 full year (Must show proof of mortgage or lease agreement.
3. $500 gift card to Victoria Secret
4. 4 day 3 night Royal Caribbean Cruise
5. 3000.00 Daily Money Bonus
6. Trip to Super Bowl 51 (2017)
7. 20,000.00 daily Money Bonus
And a couple months ago they were doing work 20 hours and 3 ladies or whatever will be entered in a raffle for 10,000 to 20,000 blah blah blah.
Anyway, this cam site is pretty bad. Traffic is low, can't pick your own pictures you want to display, they take screenshots of you and post them to your profile (most of which are very unflattering).
I emailed the main lady and said I wanted to quit. and I thought these contests were a sham.. There is no way they can give out this kind of money (am I wrong??). She said..
"Ask the models who win them. Their fake because younhavent won one? We just started these contests over the past couple of weeks. You have made money with us when you actually work. I have 3000 schedules models on. The users like who they like. We hire new all the time. I can only disable your profile we don't delete anything."
I don't even think the models that win them are real. I don't know. Could I be wrong on this? My gut says I'm not wrong however.
I emailed her back and told her to please disable me, and delete all the pictures in my account, etc. She said..
"We don't delete anything. As someone with as much experience as you do you know the federal regulations. Btw MFC and streamate have away BMWs and 100k prizes. We haven't done anything close to that. Further communication isn't necessary."
I'm just wondering if anyone else thinks this is a sham as much as me. And is she right about the federal regs? I guess I need to do my research.

I think this contest is BS. Both number 5 and number 7 on your list are a "Daily Money Bonus"? Also your support staff is rude as hell. I don't know about them not deleting your account, but I would stop working there ASAP.

Hhaha wow they still have epassporte up as a payment method. That went under years ago. 1990s looking website too, damn! Oh wow and on the model app their choices for telling them your operating system are Winxp, 95 and 98! ;D
I'd move to another site if I were you, unless you make a lot there.

Re: $15,000 contest for working 4 Hours? My ass..?
Yes, and they were paying me by check, but I decided I wanted direct deposit some months ago. Now they pay me by PayPal! I know that is a huge red flag. I don't make shit there, lol. I mean, I will make some money if I site online for 10+ hours, but it's usually like 100$ or less. -_-

Re: $15,000 contest for working 4 Hours? My ass..?
Wait, no, I'm really stuck on the part where MFC and SM give away $100,000 prizes and BMWs. Because, uh, what? Since SM did their first bonus contest for Halloween 2015 and those bonuses didn't total even close to $100,000, I doubt that. MFC pays out a bonus of $100-$1000 per month to their top models too, but I'd hardly call that a BMW or a drop in the bucket for what their top girls make as is, lol!
Yeah, dump the site. That is a bizarrely rude and defensive answer for a site to give a model.
There's absolutely no reason she can't delete the account if it's a US site. The site would need to keep your info in a private file for tax purposes, but they definitely don't need to keep your active profile going. I'd manually delete as much of the profile as you can and get the fuck out of that shit hole.

Re: $15,000 contest for working 4 Hours? My ass..?
Yeah, im DEF done with that site. The only reason I signed up for it in the first place (years ago) was because it was one of the only cam sites paying per hour, now they do not do that anymore. The shitty thing is, I had to send them a couple pictures of me to sign up, they chose a couple and put it on my profile. I have no access to my profile on this website, I can't edit any pictures or do anything about it. It's basically the pictures I sent in years ago are stuck there. -_-

No access to your profile? Are you sure you're not working through a studio? This sounds all sorts of bad.

Re: $15,000 contest for working 4 Hours? My ass..?
Those prizes probably have the decimals in the wrong place, or two extra zeroes.

Re: $15,000 contest for working 4 Hours? My ass..?
Lol. The money I make SM, where the FUCK is my BMW?
Yeah total sham.

Re: $15,000 contest for working 4 Hours? My ass..?
We know about the BMW thing she was talking about at least, its a studio that offered that - not SM.
We'll happily match those terms and conditions to getting it also. Its a total sucker bet, but if any model insists we'll do it :)

I bet it's in tokens...15,000 tokens and then they take their cut and after all is said and done, you get a $30 bonus
um, and just went to that site...wooooooooow...it was built in 2002, but looks like it was actually made in 1992

HAHA. not that my low dollar ass would have a chance... but I'm curious, what were the terms?

Re: $15,000 contest for working 4 Hours? My ass..?
I'm a weirdo. With all that was said in the original post, all I could think about was the fact that a male landlord would probably switch to perv mode real quick the minute he learns that you got an adult cam site paying your rent...and a female landlord would probably be all up in your business too but hatin' the fuck outta you. LOL.

I went back to the studio site and see they aren't offering it any more (they still have the cruise though). It was something like 25% payout on SM + 20 hours/week average for 9 months + constantly monitored for your hustle and they could kick you for not listening (no voyeur shows) + they fixed your rates at 4.99/6.99 + $1000-2000 minimum earnings per week (your cut)
Basically, earn an extra $50,000 for us while we monitor and control you the entire time, and we buy you a $31,000 car (actually, it wasn't clear if you owned the car or if they just leased it for you). If at any time you get burned out on that schedule or get mad at "big brother" watching, you lose the bet.
We probably could come up with our own cutesy prizes, but that would mean a different brand. I really like our zero BS policy but unfortunately it doesn't "sell" to a wider market.

Re: $15,000 contest for working 4 Hours? My ass..?
Yeah.. no. I still haven't quite had a 1k week on SM alone. Combined with all sites, yeah.. but not just SM as a stand alone.

Re: $15,000 contest for working 4 Hours? My ass..?
I used to work for SF about 10 years ago and it used to be pretty good and awesome for top girls.
Still they had so much BS rules, in that time they didn't open accounts if you were not a studio, also the studio had to meet very strict rules about their rooms, lighting, Internet connection and the damn cam score for models, If your score was low they just suspend the model account.
Still in the studio that I worked there was this top girl who was all the time In private, but the private there works different it's kind of a mix between mfc and sm. There is no free chat option once someone enters to your room they start paying credits per minute, still the 300 freeloaders will see what you're doing. Anyways this girl used to make around $1500 to $3000 weekly only working there without making nude shows, she just sat there chatting from 10 pm to 6-8 am her room was always full with 2 or 3 paying customers, sometimes more, also they could tip you $ and the 100% of the tip was for you, they didn't take cut from tips. Obviously her cam score was always very high, but around 2008 2009 idk what happened but she stopped doing well, suddenly their busy nights were crickets and she didn't back to work there.
In my case I did it well the first 2 times I logged making around $80 per hour but i was doin the whole show. After that I logged for 2 or 3 hours daily and nobody entered to paid chat so my cam score was going down so I stopped because I didn't want my account being suspended, then came back after some months and was doing good logging for not more than 3 hours just 2 or 3 times at week, without taking clothes off just chatting following the advice of the top girl, but then I just quit camming so I really don't know if that website is still worth. Also I can't access to the customer area bcs my country is blocked and the proxies or VPNs don't work.
So after all that said I think that contest is not hosted directly by SF they have not updated their website I don't think they have updated their rules either and I don't remember they making any contest with prices like these.

UGH please dont change your policy. Is so refreshing in this industry to find someone like you offering a straight up business deal that provides exactly what it says at the cost of exactly what it says. I really believe that the adult industry is changing and the people who are working with traditional business models are the ones that will last for the long term. If you go murking up the waters with "prize monies" or any other deal then I always feel like you just took a turd in my drink.
Im not even really a fan of these SM prizes for all the same reasons that have been brought up by the elite cam models that regularly contribute on our wonderful little forum.
