I am 26 years old, normally use cam sites when I'm bored, stressed, or just looking for someone to talk to/like the conversation in free chat when Tinder/Hinge are slow. In private, I talk and flirt. I don't really use these sites for sex, that's weird. I know, I know. Anyway, every once in awhile I'll meet someone on these sites and the conversation flows and we start texting and videochatting offline. A lot of the women on these sites are surprisingly normal women, same issues/life struggles/aspirations, different country. I'll either fly them out or fly to them.
I recently I started talking to one who is great, my age. She is Romanian, actually travels, has a visa to the US (I've seen pictures of her), basically isn't absolutely desperate, and is a few weeks into camming, and is doing it primarily to pay for a family members medical bills. She really didn't want to talk outside the site, due to wanting to earn money to pay off the bills, but she said she was interested. She also said models usually get fined big money like $500+ from studios or fired if they find out. So I asked if she would do 10 minutes outside the site daily, if she wasn't into me, no hard feelings, and I would help a bit with some bills. That's when she agreed, and said she thinks I'm a player but wants to be prove herself right.
So two things happened, she asked me for my number in the inbox which I thought was weird, as opposed to messaging me on instagram.
So we've been texting and videochatting. She's been surprisingly talking and calling me more than I thought, without me asking, like multiple times a day, our calls last over 20-30 minutes, she's also helping me apartment search. She seems pretty normal, and has said the same about me. No red flags honestly. But a few days later, she's upset and said the studio found out, despite her deleting the messages. (As a tech guy, its a bit funny people still think deleting a message online actually deletes it, as if the site isn't changing the visibility or backing it up.) Now they are taking 95% of her pay for this cycle. She's asking if I can give her the money which was going to be used to pay for the health treatment/health worker. I don't feel comfortable sending hundreds of dollars to someone I just started talking to and haven't even met. I feel guilty but she knew the risks, and chose not to message me on instagram like I kept asking for or asked me to go private for a minute which would have had no paper trail. Also this sounds kind of like a romance scam where all the sudden your asked for money or they stop talking to you. Like I agreed to help with medical bills because after losing over $100k last year and struggling since, I realized how privileged I was compared to the average American and person internationally. She said almost no one knows what she does, but they know she's working so asking for help would lead to uncomfortable questions, and that borrowing money is somewhat frowned upon there. She was sad for a bit, but kept talking to me and didn't bring it up until a few days later because the therapist is supposed to get paid Monday and she doesn't have the money.
Do studios really take money from models who exchange contact information with guys?
Do you think this is real or am I getting played?
