    Default candy_baby and m_o_d_e_l on mfc

    so on the top girls on mfc there are two girls- candy baby and model who have a cam score of 20k yet are obviously fake profiles and probably never go on cam. apparantly theyre made by the studios, but what is the point of these profiles? isnt whoever tipped them to give them such a high cam score just losing money since these girls never get on cam to make money anyway?

    The studio they are hired by has worked out how to beat the camscore game for the short term. I think they look at the cost as a form of advertising. Within a few weeks the camscore corrects itself, because to us members it's very obvious what the scam is. Some members will go in and mock and harass the poor girl. I feel bad for the girls being used, they have no clue how to interact. The studio must put enormous pressure on the model to succeed. I wonder if they consider it a loan and expect the girl to pay it back?

    Just saw CandyBaby is the #1 spot on MFC. WTF? It really could be money laundering. MFC needs to step up their game and start cracking down on this bullshit. I mean you would think if a model has never been on cam and has a score of 20k that would trigger an alert in their system and they would investigate.

    MFC doesn't care, they get their cut of what the studios pays to jack the cam score up. These girls are going anywhere but down anyway. It will just take a few weeks.

    What pcbman said. It's not money laundering. It's foreign studios sinking a bunch of money in to bomb the camscore so that it's higher up on the page. 0 time on cam + over 1000 bucks already paid to the account = higher page position. The studios mainly do this for visibility and yeah, the girl is going to have to make the money back.

    However, this messes the camscore average up and the girl usually sinks really, really, REALLY fast unless she has a killer hustle (these girls do not as they are NEW and restricted by what their studio will allow...not to mention most MFC users aren't dumb and will spend their time in the room trolling the girl for having a fake score). Give them a week, max. They'll be right down where new models are supposed to show up, in the 1k range.

    I saw a model a few weeks ago, SchoolGirl or something, all the guys were saying how could she be a real model on her first night with a cam score of 30k. They're pretty smart really.

    so these profiles are being saved and eventually are gonna be taken over by a cam girl?
    i mean theyre doing nthing but taking up space for now.

    also why would it be money laundering? that doesnt even make any sense

    Ha! I have no qualms about being the resident (or at least deputy) smartass. But yeah, seriously, if you know what money-laundering is, it's pretty obvious.

    Incidentally, there's been some good discussion over on AmberCutie's forums about those profiles in specific, and artificially inflated camscores in general.

    I wish it was more active, too! But I haven't exactly opened my mouth. Part of me is afraid to, because I've seen lots of noobs getting snapped at. I think I actually read in some thread that they PREFERRED that members lurk for a while before posting. I don't know. Very different feel from this place.

    Definitely. It feels very high school cliquey in there. Whats with the grammar police over there too? Forgive me if I misspell something once in a while or don't use a " or , where appropriate. It doesn't mean I have an IQ of 4, it just means Im human and make grammatical errors every now and then.

    It makes me feel so bad when a new girl will ask a question and should have typed their instead of there, and some meanie will not even answer her question but correct her spelling. I know being a cam girl can make you jaded but if I ever start to treat everyone like they "aren't worthy of greatness" Im quitting.

    a lot fo those girls are in the geeky/nerd/gamer catagory.....so they are grammar nazis. honestly if they were so smart they would branch out further from mfc and take a look around theres more going on then token countdowns and raffles on the internet for cam sites. i think some of those girls genuinly cam for the attention first and money second...

    This thread is too great

    I'm with you, cherrie, I play my share of videogames. And I also--in case my screenname isn't evidence enough--can be a bit of a grammar nazi. But that's no excuse for rudeness, which it's true, a bunch of the regular posters over there have in plenty. But then, so do we, I guess, at times.

    Still, though, I feel like newbies are welcomed here. Whereas over there, there's definitely a clique-ish-ness. But again, what do I know, I haven't posted there yet, so maybe these are just the ramblings of a girl not in with the in crowd.

    Anyyyyyyyyyywaaaaaaaaaaay!

    LOL! Yes, I thought that might be more than a clever name Sex Its one thing to kid around and occasionally and helpfully "correct" grammar but some of the things Ive seen over there were neither helpful nor occasional. Just incessant and mean. Dont get me wrong, there are some really nice, cool, helpful girls over there. SW just seems to have a more "welcoming" vibe when it comes to noobs. Probably the reason this is a more active forum come to think of it lol.

    yes i know what laundering is .i just dont get why and how anyone would do it on mfc. first of all you need to put it in a bank account just to buy tokens on mfc. second of all you're losing 40-50 percent when you tip the fake money.

    unless you mean someone is running an illegal operation and collecting their payments through mfc...which would still be dumb considering mfc takes 40-50 percent of the models tokens.

    There's been speculation about MFC and money laundering for awhile now, see this segment that I extracted from the thread on here about Shy teen. In the segment there's a link to the blog that actually stated this. This is not my statement

    Here's the link to the comment & website, you may need to re-search for the article as the direct link is no longer valid.


    http://mycamgirl.net/review/shyteen2...-star#comments

    BY: CokeBaron

    Let me preface this by stating that I’m in no way pointing fingers or assigning guilt on anyone, but I thought perhaps everyone might like to know how the Romanian credit card fraud scam works.

    [Takeaway fact number 1. 80-100% of all online card transactions originating in Romania are frauded.]

    First, let it be said that no stolen numbers are being used online on camsites. These can be charged-back and the processor will usually tack on an extra fee to the merchant, so no camsite would be willingly complicit in such a scheme.

    [Takeaway fact number 2. Many processors and merchants will not even accept credit card transactions from Romania. You may not, for example, even get an Xbox Live or Playstation Network account there.]

    So how does it work? It’s simple and very widespread. Like many organized crime groups the world over, the Romanians specialize in infiltrating POS or Point of Sale(ie. at a store) card processing units with easily-installed software or devices which can record the card information of those who shop there and make purchases with their cards throughout the day.

    These compromised units are generally located in retail establishments in other European countries, with the UK, France, Italy and Greece topping the list. It is not uncommon for merchants or employees to be offered 10 000 euros or more to allow their systems to modified to record numbers, so the incentive is there. It’s called skimming and I can’t overstate how widespread it is even in North America (with other groups) so let this serve as a warning to be discerning in where you use your plastic.

    Now, once these electronic copies of the cards have been taken and transmitted, it is a relatively simple matter for the cards to be re-printed in Romania. Indeed, forged plastic copies of the cards are created, and then they are used at bank ATMs to withdraw as much cash as possible, and then the cards are thrown away.

    The amount of money generated by this scheme is huge, in the high hundreds of millions of dollars annually in Romania alone; however, it does leave the issue of legitimizing or laundering that income. That is where the webcam studio business starts to become lucrative.

    [Takeaway fact number 3. The majority of credit cards used on camsites are actually pre-paid cards.]

    The pre-paid card, a fraudster’s best friend. While many people use them legitimately to protect their identities, or for ease of use or other reasons, the fact remains that these cards are easy to get, often with little or no checks or identifying information required(ie. gift cards) and can be reloaded with cash again and again with no red tape. The cash withdrawn from the ATMs is loaded onto exactly these kind of cards- and note that the money is not laundered at this point, it has merely changed forms from real cash to plastic cash.

    The next step is to open a studio. In Romania, the studios are almost all affiliated at least nominally with the same criminal organizations skimming the cards. The studio then hires girls to work the cams, generally on 7 or 8 different camsites at a time, and use that pre-paid plastic on those sites to take their own girls private or give them large tips. The camsite thus represents a legal business entity that pays the studio business clean money, ostensibly for the girls ‘hard work.’ The money is at this point washed.

    Now one might think that this is an expensive pay-off to the camsites who are taking a 50-75% cut of the money being spent, but this is not the case. First off, a 50% cut to wash money is not bad at all, particularly in the volumes that these schemes rake in. Secondly, there is a herd effect on camsites- particularly on a site like MFC where there are less models and higher tip volumes per model. Make one girl a top model, and let non-affiliated members see her being tipped heavily or taken into private often, and they will start tipping and taking her private in turn. This snowball effect serves to offset a large part of the camsite’s profit rake, to say nothing of the prizes given for hitting top model status(much higher than MFC on some sites).

    [Takeaway fact number 4. Camsites call that snowball effect "Frenzy." See the Flirt4Free model manual section about it for some interesting reading(http://camgirlnotes.15.forumer.com/i...howtopic=40).]

    All in all, it works out very nicely for the camsites (which is why they turn a blind eye to it, as they are safely removed from the criminal element), as well as for the studio-scammers who are able to safely turn their ill-gotten gains into legal cash. The “chosen girls” who partake in the schemes generally have some idea of what’s going, are very nicely taken care of, and in the end actually see a very minute fraction of the money they “earn” per se.

    Bottom line, if something looks too good to be true, or seems impossible to be what it appears to be- then it is. If you want to be one of those sweetening the pot on an already-lucrative scam, for some Romanian gangsters who are likely much wealthier than you are and their pretty girlfriends, then by all means do so.

    As a final note, I’d like to add that many Romanian girls are not part of any scheme and make their meager earnings with good old hand, fist and toy like all the rest, but even in those cases the majority of their earnings are again sweetening the deal for the studio-scammers. Something to keep in mind.

    I hope this has given you all some food for thought, and as a word to MyCamgirl- I trust you won’t remove this comment as all I have said here I know from extensive experience and is verifiable with a minimum of research.

    Best regards and happy camming,

    Not if you buy a large amount of tokens at once. The more tokens you buy the less you pay, so if you buy the biggest package I think you're only losing out .2 cents per token. If that's enough to get you to the first or second row, it's probably definitely worth the investment, although the models have to sustain it or they'll tank fast.

    This is exactly what i was thinking, people pay to have their money 'washed' all the time and this is no difference. Is MFC a place for money laundering?? I dunno, but it's an original way to do it and fairly safe compared to other methods.

    I'm pretty quiet there too. I like reading on occasion but to me that site seems very cliquish and closed-minded when it comes to camming...

    ETA: oh shit I'm so late with this. just read the thread after posting... oops!
