    Angry Ko-fi warning!!

    Hopefully others already know this and are avoiding the site, but I just had my full name and personal email revealed to a tipper on Ko-fi. I set up a page a few days ago after seeing the ko-fi button on another girl's cam page, so I mistakenly assumed it was safe to use. I received an email from paypal with the person who tipped me's full name and email, and he received my full name and email as the paypal recipient. I am now frantically closing down online accounts and changed my last name on facebook, but wanted to make others aware that they should avoid ko-fi too!

    Sorry to hear this, but that sounds like it was PayPal - rather than ko-fi - that revealed your details, and this is one of the very reasons why not to use PayPal. Apart from the fact that its against Paypal ToS to use it for adult transactions. They and and will shut your account down if they suspect. Guys can also do chargebacks.

    Ah okay, good to know about paypal... I'm a camming newbie and still learning all this, but definitely wanted to let others know about the potential privacy risk with ko-fi

    It states in Ko-fi's Terms of use that they are not allowed to be used for adult. Read the TOS of any site before you use it and never assume that because another girl is doing it it's allowed or okay.
    I have copied and pasted the pertinent information which I found very easily. From the site
    Anything prohibited by the payment providers connected to the platform such as PayPal Inc and Stripe.
    Content including but not limited to;
    Adult or sexually explicit content including but not limited to:
    • Pornography, nudity and any other obscene content;
    • Literature, imagery (including illustrative), videos, links to external sites or content containing such material; and
    • Sexual services such as prostitution, escorts, pay-per view, adult live chat features;


    So, of course, a site that explicitly forbids adult content isn't going to have the protections those in the adult industry need. Take this as a lesson learned always verify that site allows adult use. Never ever assume that's a good way to lose both money and privacy.

    Yep, definitely should have read through the TOS, lesson learned for sure. Just hoping that other newbies can learn from my mistake though and avoid anything to do with ko-fi or paypal.
