I need a good cam site - Streamate is a scam

[Shutterbuck]

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.

Maybe it's a pre-paid phone card? Try calling Trinidad and Tobago with it.

 

[Jeff777]

Update: Just spoke with their CS. Finally got a guy who was normal. I explained to him all the over-charges, and told him i would send proof. He said dont worry about it, and ALL charges for the day have been reversed. He wouldnt explain why it happened, so i didnt want to press the matter. Obviously he must have seen something that didnt look right to give me back all my $

And the strange thing was - i told him: "I did use *some* of your services, and for those i will pay". I offered to Paypal him the $. He wasnt interested. (i run online businesses, so i hate non-payers). I think he had me confused with one of those chargeback/scammer folks that make their business hard.

In any event, it's all good!. I'm glad i can report for any future reader of this thread via google: very painful process, may take a few phone calls, but when you get a rep who doesnt threaten you, they actually rectified things

the cards as of now have their full balance, i only checked the $100 one to confirm

Possibly. Who the heck knows with these 7-11 clerks. I tell the guy "give me a card so can i get online". I give cash. He give card.

I think you're confused. I offered him Paypal to see what he would say. I find it fascinating when businesses turn away sales and $.

I said to the guy "i love the streamate models, i am a net present value customer of easily $10k. How can we work together to make this happen"?

He wasnt interested.

It's usually in hopes of keeping your business, I think it's generally a good move.

Wow, the site isn't a scam after all? I'm amazed. :lol:

I hope the poor model(s) that did the show for you didn't suffer a chargeback to their account.

Your comment about paypal makes no sense to me, by the way.

SM protects models from chargebacks - That's part of why we only get 35%. Whoever it is should be all good. :thumbleft:

I agree - not sure how they paid the models. Hopefully SM did the right thing, given that we now know they are not a scam site.

LOL! i use bitcoin for some other sites, it works well

the beautiful thing about it is - no chargebacks, which is great for certain industries with high chargeback ratios

That is all.

Really? Well, earlier in the thread you were talking about maybe starting up your own camsite, since you don't like any of the current sites on the market. And there is a large gap in the market for Bitcoin-based camsites, obviously. Maybe there's an idea there you could build on, perhaps?

Sorry, I couldn't resist. :lol:

I'm barely "Awesomesauce", I realize... but how many posts do I have to make in order to put another star between me and this guy?

Holy crap.. What's with all these trolls calling themselves models and using there business names to scam a dudes who's giftcard/creditcard/debitvisacard he bought at the 7-11 gets scammed by the non scam site known as Streamate? Fucking sketchy.

I dunno but you better call your bank to make sure that cash paid 7-11 card doesn't have any holds...

Haha, I trust the clerk at 7-11 for all my banking needs.

As someone who has been on both sides as a model and client at SM. I've only had one charge on my card that I thought was a little iffy, if anything the major problem I had at first was getting my card company to accept SM charges. Haven't read all of the latest responses but it seems to have descended into a troll thread. :hello2:

Lol at the models trying to get you to come to MFC.

LOL all over the place, hilarious to see, i agree. MFC is awesome, it's actually the best cam site i've ever been on. Very very solid the way they make things easy and transparent for the customer. They have all my business from now on. Been looking for a good site like that for awhile. It's amazing the incompetence out there. But MFC rocks. Already hired a girl to do custom photos.
