    Default accepting payment such as paypal or bank transfer - why is it so bad?

    why do so many guys ask to pay you outside of adultwork / other sites? i've been propositioned with £1000 for a week of being a virtual girlfriend. I thought it sounded to good to be true. Whats wrong with paying for the credits like everyone else? Is it really dangerous to accept payment through bank transfer or other methods?
    ( i know paypal can ban you if they suspect adult goings on!) i guess you could get kicked off the site too?

    Banned from AW and you will inadvertently give the guy your personal details...you must have heard of identity theft, blackmail, people emptying bank accounts and all sorts of other frauds. If it sounds too good to be true, it is too good to be true.

    Why on earth would he need to pay you outside of AW? There is no reason...if you click on the button for purchasing credits you'll see the many ways a guy can buy credits that doesn't involve a record showing he purchased them, it's a scam.

    I have to agree. It all sounds very strange. If he's using AW then why not pay through AW! I'm sure he'll be the first scammer of many that lurk about on these sites. It's a shame really, I could really do with £1000!

    yeah, there's a million and one threads and posts here on sw regarding guys who want to spend large amounts of $$$$ on cam chicas, but for some strange reason can't actually pay through the site. I say this not as a 'search function' lecture, just to illustrate my point that this scam is incredibly common.

    One other thing I'll add to Katy's great list is that some lonely broke guys actually get off on discussing giving us large amounts of money. They like wasting our time, they like indulging a fantasy they'll never be able to afford to fulfill, and they LOVE having the attention of a chica who is willing to spend time discussing outside payment arrangments. Never underestimate how truly starved for human interaction some of our pseudo-customers can be.

    The longer you cam, the more you'll realize that the real big-$$$$ customers don't waste your time or theirs. They see what they want and they go for it. With this guy and in the future, explain your payment options and let them take it from there, knowing that how you get paid is NOT up for discussion. Your visitors should only get your full attention AFTER they follow through on their promises, not before.
