    Default western union bad?

    Okay so some guy from AW has come into my room twice saying he'll give me money via western union.

    is this a bad idea? it's $75 for 10 mins and i could really use that but am scared of getting scammed somehow.

    what do u girls think?

    He needs your real name correct? Or is it possible to only use the security question to get the money? I am not sure but this would not be a choice for me, to get my money.

    Maybe greendot moneypak card, alertpay, payoneer? I just would not really want to use western union. Plus if he is willing to do that, then he can sign up for more secure payment methods.

    Also, $75 for 10 minutes? Did he offer that, or did you say that is what you charge?

    ugh exactly what i was worried about! I don't want him to have my real name or address. i'm trying to get him to do another method. although with western union he had said i could get the money first and then we could do the show but i'm just scared about giving my personal info away

    i hope he just picks another way to pay me!

    But it's on Adultwork. Is this just for camming? If so why can't he just pay on the site? If it is for escorting or something else (which I don't know how that works on aw) can't he just pay cash or something? Why Western Union?

    Sounds like a scam, sorry. I don't know why he can't just pay a normal way like everyone else.

    He said that he would pay $75 for 10 mins.


    you're right...it probably is a scam
    I'm not going to do it unless he pays me in another way like alertpay. i believe he said his reasoning for not just paying on the site was because AW was being retarded and not taking his card.

    should have known it was too good to be true! AW is totally sucking for me. I've only made $5 in an hour D:

    It is possible that a man will pay $75 but imo, not very likely. The guys who do spend a lot are regulars. A regular can just pay via the site. Someone jump in and correct me if I am wrong. I am not always on Aw, and when I am, I have only been fed a line of bs one time. A guy wanted me to make him a video doing some dumb shit for $100. I really did not believe him, but maybe I was wrong? But he did not offer Western Union, he offered to prepay on the site. I still was leary because some girls said they had some chargebacks.

    I just don't see why someone would offer Western Union, unless he is trying to get over on you. OR he wants your real name, and he is crazy, or something stupid like that.

    Again, I am not saying someone will not pay $75 for 10 minutes. That is very possible, and does happen, but Western Union? And why is he unable to use his card on AW? Maybe he already did a chargeback and was banned? I don't know.

    It just seems to be too much of a hassle. When I am in doubt, I move on. Might cause me to lose some money, but I prefer peace of mind.

    I make use of western union on a regular basis and the receiver has to show ID to get the funds. So yes this guy will need to know your full name and location. He is good for trying it though i must say.

    I've had this ping pong game of guys trying to get smart with me. At first it seemed they really wanna pay and almost feel sorry for them. And it does keep you on your toes cos just when you think you heard it all they is always another. So no AW credits = me not interested. Sometimes I do take paypal but only if i've cammed for the person before.

    Make him pay through alertpay or greendot or amazon gift card - anything that can be done online where you can verify the money immediately.

    There is no way I'd take western union at all.

    Also, usually when they want to pay only a certain way, they're trying to screw you, one way or another. If they can't pay the way YOU want/need, there is something wrong.

    Even if it's not a scam, I don't think I would accept it. Western Union is a pain in the ass... You have to go to a bank/agency, fill up forms, show ID... And you pay a fee too... I don't even understand how WU can still exist after the invention of PayPal and the like.

    Don't do western union!!! They only way I'd say it would be okay if if you gave him your first and middle name (as last name) only, and the address you have on your drivers license is old (so you can give that address to pick up the money). Otherwise, its a huge security breech!
