I need a good cam site - Streamate is a scam

[JoleneBrody]

Was this all today? Could they be holding extra money like some restaurants do? I bitched out payoneer a few months ago because a pizza place was holding extra money on an order without my realizing they routinely do so.

Yes, all today. I wish it was a hold. I called the bank. Both my debit cards have zero balances now.

... I'm an MFC girl so no defensive nature here but... Uh. why lie about details? It ruins credibility for what might be a real problem.

LOL! omg, the trolls are coming out now, time to move on

...
Hey I'm happy you came to MFC, that's my home and by all means I hope you stay, but the above quote is a blatant lie according to your previous comment about using a gift card to protect your identity. Some people may be able to actually help you, but not if you can't keep your story straight.

Trolololol

 

[Jeff777]

Hmm, well, this all went weird quickly.

Anyway, if it were me I'd give it until Monday to make sure the card (whatever type it was) didn't just put large holds on it, then call SM back to complain. How much of a difference was there?

Glitches do happen. Streamate might have shit customer service, but it's not a scam.

Dude, DUDE. Did you just call Jolene a troll? Simmer down now.

LOL! yes it did... Yes, i will triple check for 'holds' on Monday, but these show as real charges on my online visa account, so i doubt it. The surprise was approx $100.

I cant call SM, they swear at me. LOL!

Dude, I'm not a troll. Neither are any of the other lovely ladies who have replied to you (despite you being rude to some of them.) However, you can't keep your story straight about how you paid/how much you were overcharged/what happened. So we have to conclude that you, in fact, must be the troll.

"Stream mate support hurt me very badly. They called me names then pushed me down the stairs and my shoes fell off. "

^troll-fest, in full force

LOL, is this place usually like this?

I know, right? I think it's actually international 'Act Like An A-Hole' week, based on the forum and how guys are acting on the camsites. Is there a full moon or something going on? Did someone poison the water hole? :lol:

LOLOLOL!!!!!!

1. get ripped of at Streamate for $100

2. find a supportive forum to ask how/what happened

3. get verbally abused by 3 women who call the guy a liar and focus like a laser on the nuances of a pre-paid debit card vs a prepaid gift card

4. then get called an a-hole for defending myself against such verbal abuse

Priceless! LMFAO!

No, my post doesnt apply to you, your posts were reasonable.

Trollene Brody strikes again

To clarify for Jeff, who cannot tell when people are trolling... bob is kidding. Jolene's a sweetheart, and a well-loved member of this forum. He was making a joke. You're welcome for the translation, Jeff. :handgestures-salute:

Edit: I see you already fell for it and thought he was being serious. I was too late. NOOOOOOOOOO! :lol:

 

[JoleneBrody]

I actually just looked up the moon cycle! It's waning so I don't know what the heck is going on...

I'm also worried that if this guy thinks I'm a troll, MFC might drive him off a ledge in a mere day or two...
Ain't my fault you got caught in a fib. I didn't make Ya do it!

Way to miss the whole point man. You may be telling the truth but because you chose to make shit up you lost credibility and if you pulled the same thing with support why would they believe you? You lied about something so small already. That's your fault, own it. The tiniest lie can bite you in the ass so whats the point? If you try calling them again stick to the absolute truth, don't lie even a little and maybe you have a chance of getting help.

But what do I know? I'm just a troll :lol: thanks for the chuckle guys!

ACF threads with the word 'scam' in the subject rarely turn out well. :?

Problems here that led to the troll accusations = inconsistent naming of the "card" that was overcharged. Gift, debit and credit are all different but seemingly used interchangeably in the last few pages. I'm sure you can understand the confusion and thoughts of you being a liar, Jeff. Also the hesitation to admit that mistakes DO happen, that SM customer service HAS been completely shitty to people in the past, and that the girls saying it doesn't happen to their members are very likely right.

Take a deep breath. It'll all be ok. Just avoid SM any further and cut your losses while enjoying your remaining 'fun money' at another site that operates more to your liking.

 

[BarbieLuv]

You're going to have a great time on camsites, I can tell.

 

[JoleneBrody]

*backs away slowly...

I actually feel dizzy now. Lol

I tried. Oh well

Thank you for the admin feedback. No deep breath needed here, at all. I am enjoying the entertainment that these other folks are giving me here. Never realized my post would be micro-analyzed like a court transcript LOL!....but some forums are like that, no worries

I'm just not that disciplined to keep track of whether something is a debit card or a gift card. I gave the 7-11 clerk cash and he gave me a card. As of right now, i have no idea what kind of card it is, except to say that it definitely is not my personal credit card.

Cheers! love the content of the forum

I'm going to say this one last thing to try to help you, but besides that idk.

In one of your first posts you stated that you bought one show and were charged $100.
In later posts you made it seem as though you actually bought more than one show (saying you tracked your time several times throughout the day, which wouldn't make sense if you did in fact only buy one show). I'm not sure which is actually true, BUT, my advice: go back and look at who you were paying for what. Some girls may only charge $4.99 a minute, but there are models who charge $14.99 per minute. It's not hard to accidentally rack up $100.
I recently changed my premium shows to $14.99 a minute in an effort to not take as many of them (I prefer exclusives) and I can't tell you how many people clicked private without realizing it said $14.99.
The accident could have easily been on your end.

you're still not reading my posts carefully enough - my card was charged an amount drastically different than the amount that shows in my Streamate account history .....does that clear it up?

Wut?

Now you're back to it being a "gift card?" But elsewhere you talk about "my Visa account" and "debit card." I would strongly suggest that if you're going to make up stories, you at least be consistent with the details. And don't complain when people analyze the details...accusing a company of a scam is serious, and you get no traction at all by constantly shifting the details of your story.

If somebody could help me out here, as I don't have a paying member account on SM, just a model one.
If I remember correctly, wasn't there a box that if you accidentally checked while creating your account, you were given and additional charge for some kind of dating membership type deal?
I feel like I remember reading someone mentioning this here.

I do remember that when I first joined SM a couple or more years ago. I remember accidentally checking it and having to go back to figure out how to back out.

Thank you. Yes, i remember that. I definitely did not click that. I always read the whole page before clicking pay - there is often an errant checkbox that they always seem to pre-fill

It's dumb as hell for them to do that.
They prohibit off site contact at all in any capacity, but put dating shit in the sign up form. :roll:
