So, i tried to join Adultwork.
I made my whole profile, uploaded tons of pictures, scanned my ID, and did the verification photo. Verified my phone number, set up DirectCam...
Now, I'm an American, but i live in Finland. I have American documents, and I'm responsable to pay American taxes, not Finnish. So, when I sign up for camming I use my American info just to have a paper trail.
Seems easy enough, yeah?
So, i got this e-mail earlier...
"The ID documents you have supplied are currently being reviewed.
So that we may process your application in a timely manner can you please supply us with some evidence that you are resident in the country from which you are accessing the Site. Many users try and falsify their locations using proxy servers, VPNs, dial-up accounts and more. We need you to verify that you are where you say you are.
The following items can be provided:
1) A copy of a domestic bill (e.g. gas, electricity, credit card etc.) with your name and address on it.
2) A photograph of you in some obvious place for that country, (like an easily recognisable tourist location or buildings with nationl language writing on them), holding up a recent local language newspaper.
3) A photograph of you in a house with power plug sockets clearly visible and you holding a recent local language newspaper.
Any other way of proving you're resident of the country in question may be considered."
Number 3 is my favorite.
So, I refuse to do that, because I don't know why it matters where I currently live. I don't escort, my profile says I don't escort, so my actual location is COMPLETELY irrelevent to anything. So, I sent them an e-mail asking why this was happening, and I got this stupid response:
"This response applies to members who:
- reside in an Eastern European country;
- are an Eastern European national; or
- Group Managers looking after members from Eastern Europe"
...EASTERN EUROPE? FINLAND= EASTERN EUROPE? YOU'RE BASED IN T U.K, WE'RE BOTH EU MEMBER STATES..BUT YOU THINK I'M IN EASTERN EUROPE?
So, i e-mail the person assigned to handle "eastern Europe"...and I get the world's bitchiest response.
"
The site's messages regarding your status are pretty clear and simple, you are required to provide some proofs of residence in Finland (as you pretend to be there).
Further, you were required to upload a new face photo where you hold the paper visible in hands. Any member which accesses the site from other country than the one of their nationality must provide some proofs of residence in the respective country (Finland in your case). This has nothing to do with Eastern or Western Europe, it is a general requirement of AdultWork.com ."
So, it has nothing to do with eastern Europe, but it has to do with eastern Europe?
I didn't reply to that, but right after she sent that i got THIS e-mail:
"Unfortunately we are unable to accept your face photo. Common reasons for this include.
- The date on the document is too far in the past. The date should be within the last couple of days.
- The picture appears to have been tampered with in a photo editing program, so does not appear to be genuine."
i took the picture YESTERDAY., and submitted it YESTERDAY. Also, I don't know how to edit photos. At the exact same time that message was sent, i got this message:
"This photo must show your face clearly visible and in one hand you must have a sign saying AdultWork.com User ID: 1694417, and today's date, (+3 days max). In the other hand please hold the ID you submitted so that your picture and the information on it is clearly visible."
I'm sorry but how it is physically possible to have my tiny ID readable, while having my sign in the other hand and showing my face clearly= I only have two hands.
So, I'm not doing anything more for them. I think this is absurd. I've nver had to jump through so many hoops to be verified somewhere.
