Things run smoothly when you visit cam model websites and when you are charged by the minute or when you tip a cam model a small amount to see something. Then, things can get more complicated if you want a special request.
Imagine that you would like to see a woman performing a dildo show for you. However, this webcam model does not have a dildo. First, she would need to buy or bring a dildo and then, she would have to actually use it.
The scam of paying in advance for a dildo:
A cam model may ask you to send her a money gift. Then, the scammer does not buy the dildo after the user has sent her the money gift. Some cam models are serious and some cam models aren’t. We don’t know how to help you spot cam models who aren’t scammers in this situation. We can just say that serious cam models don’t ask for many tokens, credits or a lot of money to buy a dildo. So, for example, a user paid 3000 tokens on stripchat to a cam model and she didn’t buy the dildo.
The scam of paying in advance for a custom video:
A cam model may tell you that she is going to shoot a video for you. Then, she does not deliver anything after the user sent money. So, for instance, she may ask you to send many tokens/credits in advance to her. Usually, she lures you with the content of the video. She would tell you that you can choose the content of the video. She may ask you to tell her about the position, about the accessories, about the outfit. She wants you to really believe that she is going to deliver something. Then, once you send the money she stops talking to you and acts as if you never sent the money.
The scam of paying in advance for something:
Before a gold show (group show) on streamate, A user asked a cam model if she used a dildo. She said “yes” out loud. He was the only one in the room. he tipped her to join the gold show and then she wrote “no, I don’t sorry.” Once, again, as I can see he gave the money first and the woman had a deceiving behavior. For sure, it didn’t cost as much as the dildo of the previous story.
There are other scam techniques that are all related to promises. The deceiving cam model promises to provide something in exchange for a certain amount of money.
The scam may also be related to something offline as well.
How to avoid being scammed:
The scammer needs to set a high price to deceive the user because she only has one shot. It is not worth scamming people for $25. It is worth scamming people for $250. Once the user understands that he was scammed he will not send her money again. So, if a cam model asks you to pay $130, $200, $300, $400 upfront, it should raise a red flag. A serious cam model should ask to pay half the amount before delivery and half the amount after delivery.
If she wants a dildo, order the dildo on her behalf.
Some cam models sell their whatsapp, snapchat or instagram. She may ask you to pay to her paypal account via the instant messaging app. We have heard of users who decided to file a complaint on paypal after being scammed. For your information, all these users have been reimbursed. Therefore, it is important to leave the right description for the paypal transaction.
Some users also report cam models on skype. Then, Skype systematically closes the cam model account as adult shows are strictly prohibited on this instant messaging app.
When you buy something via bitcoins, there is no way to be reimbursed if something goes wrong. So, use bitcoins if you only know your interlocutor very well.
