    Default AdultWork is trolling me and it's sad/hilarious/confusing

    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.

    That how they do it on AW. All you really need to send them is you holding today newspaper and you should be fine. It's silly I know!

    If you look through the threads there is a reason they want you to prove where you are camming from. I cant remember why but you are not being singled out. There are notorious for being VERY picky with their sign up documents - be patient - don't take it personal - and certainly dont send emails to piss them off - just try to get what they are asking for if possible and resubmit it - it seems like some of what they are asking for should be easy enough to do -

    It's a pain but they have to protect against all the scammers signing up...you may not be missing out on much though.

    I tried to sign up too & they told me they no longer accept a US driver's license for age verification. I have to get a passport or an ID card. Funny thing is that an ID card is IDENTICAL to a driver's license & is even issued by the DMV. The only difference is that it says Identification Only instead if Driver's License. Seems that if one can be easily forged, then the other can be forged just as easily, so why accept one & not the other? Actually made me want to remove the words Driver's License from my ID just to see if they would accept it, but I don't belive in forgery so I didn't. Wasted so much time trying to navigate that site & get my profile set up... Oh well, guess I learned something.

    Don't they realize that not everyone can get a Driver's License, but everyone can get an ID, and that by saying you need a driver's license they're pretty much discriminating against the visually impaired cam models?(I can't be the only one!)

    Ha! I know. WTF? If I knew I could log in & immediately make bank, then I might consider wasting a day at a government office getting a worthless ID card just because they want me to! Not to mention the questions I would have to field. Actually, now that I think about it, I don't believe you are allowed to have both cards. I think the Id card is only for people who cannot get a license & really, why would anyone want both.

    Yes - it's one or the other.

    It's the other way. They accept ID cards but not a driver's License, but they are essentially the same thing. They claim a driver's license can be easily forged. So can all the other docs they still accept. Lol. Just ridiculous!

    i am a US model too. i have a DL and an ID card and they STILL rejected me for verification. they said i HAD to have the PASSPORT, LOL!!! so wacko, i will get a passport eventually and then sign up but i am not gonna jump out to get one asap just to sign up for one site asking for it.

    the reason why i have both was cuz my DL was suspended for a while for having too many points on it but now i am fine.

    I consider myself to be pretty smart, but AdultWork was waaaaay too annoying for me to even bother. Jaana, you're only confirming my belief that it's a pain in the ass. I totally understand where AW is coming from, but it doesn't make it any less annoying for us legit girls.

    I laughed SO hard at that! I think I would take MFC over AW and that's saying something.

    Fuck no. if it's this much trouble to sign up, and if they care THAT MUCH about where I actually live, it's not worth it. There's even a profile option to post the nearest trin station to where you live. Even if I did escort WHYYY WOULD I PUT THAT INFORMATION OUT THERE?

    It's a UK site but not registered in the UK. Guys chose escorts by location and how easily they can get to them if they do incalls. You're really may not be missing much...

    I am so glad that for years my only identification was a passport. It makes going through things ANYWHERE so much easier.
