I am glad for Lisa that she has made the step to real freedom ..We both know each other and talk regularly and I think she is fantastic...

Lisa is right that the situation in Romania and Russia is different from here in Asia. In Asia ( read Philippines) most girls especially in the Manila sweatshops are treated like slaves ! Pinay girls are working 12 hour days 7 days a week for $100-150 a month ..and the rest is for the studio. The bosses in these studios are nothing better than modern day slave traders. A lot of these girls work in their rooms for long hours , with their baby 'one sheet' away...and then you hear the premiums in the lounge bragging about how they let a Pinay girl do very extreme things for 5 or 10 tokens ..Those bosses in Manila should be castrated but the Premiums abusing these girls and paying them next to nothing for extreme acts are TOTAL ASSHOLES..... as well

For the Romanian and Russian studios I can be really short , they are 99% Mafia owned. Its the simple truth. This is not a judgement on the girls working there and I know a lot about it as I have a former studio owner among my friends , so I have the inside story. A lot of Romanian studios (not all !) also double as sexclubs..so the story that all Romanian girls are also hookers gets around and is of course a generalization and not true.... The fact that Romanian cam studios are used for white washing stolen credit cards, laundering drug money and related businesses is a known fact..... And yes I can proof all what I am saying..and yes I like a lot of Romanian girls ( this is not against them)

I am glad to see any Romanian, Russian or Pinay girl getting away from those bloodsuckers and venturing out on their own....so a big bravo to any girl doing that !

Regarding this stolen credit cards, etc. I kept wondering why the girl from Romania on the first website I worked would go to pvt chat for 7 hours at a time yes like 7 straight hours, and this would happen daily and sometimes I and another girl were wondering if they (studio owners, etc) were running a video of her and just letting the time run out or
Until they used their maxium amount of money for the day.
And it went on and on for weeks. And this is a girl who works for a studio and will show her breast and that's it. I couldn't help but wonder.

 

[MilaMilan]

It is so sad that I can not tell everything I know ......but I see so many things on MFC that are sooooo wrong and so obviously fake and corrupted....but then again I like MFC and have to be careful with what I say even though it is the truth..

Girls doing hour long true pvts and sleeping? yep
Girls doing hour long true pvts and shopping? yep
Girls doing hour long pvts to talk days at an end? yep

Real fans? Don't make me fucking laugh.......If you love that model so much transfer her the fucking money without the MFC-cut...
The truth ? Self tipping for cam rate and positioning or much more dubious> using tokens to ..........(see above)

 

[xander77]

true girls are exploited.
I've questioned this before. But I will tell. I have a friend who is a member of mfc long ago in Europe. Recently he met a model mfc Romania. He paid him the tickets, went with her one weekend. Well it was an escort job. All should know what is the job of escort. But he only did this to her because she put in mfc profiles things about dating.
As I said earlier the mfc is a webcam site model but when it goes to escort. These girls are giving bad name to models and womens of Romania.

 

[tightlockup]

Lisa, Andy - your English is not bad at all. I'm glad to hear things from your perspective. The Asian thing is really sad, no one should have to do any job by blackmail and threats.

Maybe more models will find these forums and hopefully an inspiration to leave and strike out on their own.

Mila, as you know I have been living in Asia many years and can clearly imagine what you are talking about...
Luckily Thailand and cambodian´s ladies english is so bad, they cant run studios from there... Imaginane how a cambodian studio would treat models...

i visited romania, Bucharest is a big city just like any other big city, they have casino and malls and this Huge govt building, bigger than the pentagon it is freaking huge. the trains can take you just about anywhere, except some reason it does not go to the airport. i found that the people that think the worst about romania are the romanians a long time ago (1950's) people would talk bad about the gypsy just like any other racist statements against a group of people. Some Romanians are gypsy and some are not, some are good and some are bad, they are a very religious people also i like the churches there, they are are very very old and small and quaint. It is a great country lots to do and great food..(send me papanasi ) there was a studio in cluj that closed down, but the girls there had it bad.. like you said with the bosses asking for sex, but they also had quotas and after 2 months of delays the boss ran away with everyones pay. Julia has had public war with her studio for over a year. i would recommend to any girl in romania to skip the studio, you can find a place and a cam and make money with out the studio. i can put you in touch with a model if you need help let me know. same name on MFC or my email is listed on my profile here.

Outside of the MFC universe, Romania is not known for cam models, nor the Phillies nor Colombia...Inside the universe of MFC it may seem so...


Ty so much Ruff for being such a great guy...and I'm glad you like Romania,after all its a nice country with so many cool people!(and yes sweety pie I'll try to send you papanasi...my fave dessert btw...lol).I appreciate a lot your help,but I'm ok!You don't have to be worried for me!I wrote this topic,not cuz I can't handle the situation...It's just a way to make people understand the real matter!So...no worries for me!I'm a girl who knows how to go on cam ,both in studio and home!
Kisses my friend and keep up the good work!

Do you think that is bad in your book?What about being threaten? Like...taking you to a forest and raping you?

Men like that need to be in prison and raped daily! Rapists and pedophiles do not deserve to breathe. :evil:

So many times THIS. Those guys need to suffer a long, slow, painful death.

As for Mila's point about Asian slave camgirls, it's widely believed (but I've never seen it proven) that this is the situation for many South American camgirls.

But the stuff that Mila said plus the beliefs that I mentioned is why I limit my viewing to North American, United Kingdom, and Australian based models. There's too many risks involved in watching models from other regions (no disrespect intended to the independent models in those areas, of course).

 

[Classy]

It's been an eye-opener reading this thread (go Lisa )

I stumbled into helping euro models with websites after finishing a job for a US client. In so many ways it was a turning point for me...

One was in a terrible situation where she (the model) feared for her life and was separated from her boyfriend overseas - that was in Latvia and I'm glad she is out of it now. It seems that Romania has a similar system in place, BUT at least the girls have a chance to get out if it AND the more information (like this conversation) that gets out there - the better!

Information is power - the power needs to be in the models' hands

 

[lirene]

As for Mila's point about Asian slave camgirls, it's widely believed (but I've never seen it proven) that this is the situation for many South American camgirls.

yeah, watching Colombians is a mixed reaction thing, since they all look to be in a studio. Some of them can be very attractive, but it's still not presented well and probably a very bad situation for them

 

[AlexLady]

I've only watched one South African studio girl; she was masturbating in public and there was a pimpcam (this is when one of the studio owners/managers takes control of the camera.)

She was on a dirty bed, told to masturbate, and the camera runner just kept it running.

Then a kid walked onto the screen staring at the camera; he didn't look healthy at all. So kids were just walking around the studio room while she was made to do this, and for all we know she wasn't even of age (she didn't look it at all.)



Bah. It was the saddest thing I had ever seen on MFC.

I do know that not all Romanian studio runners are mafia. That, and a many studio owners are female; granted not all of the workers are. So not all of them are as bad as others.

 

[xander77]

but the abuse studios with models I've seen models that were here 14 hours on. Type mfc went to an hour .. hence there were still five hours and hours. To pay for it all has to work harder. I may be wrong but some in Romania are college students. The other day I spoke with two models of the Romanians working in a studio. said they were only 20 or 30% of their earnings. bought a portable camera and now work at home. and earn more. No longer need to be working 10 hours. Just 3 or 5 hours. Or sometimes will not. But they are also smart to make money. They make skype shows for 1000 tokens for 30 minutes when in mfc 30 minutes a prvt is 1800 tokens. they make three or four shows a day in skypes and win 4000 tokens sometimes. But done well out of the studio.

Hello, i know this is an old thread but after reading it i feel the need to add a few things:
first of all videochat in Romania is legal , the only ilegal thing about it is that some studio owners or individual performers don't declare their income and pay their taxes, as in the CAEN code (clasificarea activitatilor din economia nationala) Classification of the activities of the national economy, the "video chathost" isnt an option, so they choose "internet consultant, model or entertainer. Most of the studios want to be legal from the tax point of view, we even had a few tv reports where they gave interviews.
Videochat isnt pornography, im not gonna give the definition here, but legally it isnt(unless you work as a couple with your boyfriend and yes that is ilegal.
As a former performer in a studio from my experience some of the things they said could be true, depending on which studio you work in, for example, there are a few big studios in Romania all over the country the same brand, theyw ill give you a work contract, training and a clean safe enviroment to work in.. good conditions and everything... now if you go in a "no name studio who has 3 computers in the same room then yes your boss might wake u up in the middle of the night for " a quickie" lol... my point is that they are alot of studion that will treat you with respect and as a human being...
Ok now to the other point i have... i know i know alot of you are like... " poor girl working in the studio bad bosses etc taking her hard earned moneyz.. 50% oh what a scam... etc"

about that: ALOT of romanian girls dont know how to speak english, dont know how to make an account, dont know what to do in free chat or pvt chat.... or dont have privacy at home, or dont have equipment. Thats why studios exist... to make ur account, to take pictures of you, train you, tell you when to go online (cuz again working from home can cause u to be lazy in your"freedom" ) to have a regular schedule... etc all that... and thats why they take half... cuz they do half of the work... every independent model knows how much "offcam work" is needed.. and just getting naked and shaking ur ass doesnt cut it anymore... its just not enough...
Anyway i know you are curious about studios in Romania.. and Romania alltogether :violin:


I hope this could clear a bit of your curiosities.
Have a good day !

 

[zilaz]

What I dont get is ...why do people want to work for a studio in the long term? I mean I see the pro's like tech support, equipement, camscore boosts etc. I could imagine working for a studio, but not in long term, cuz i am far too greedy. How long does it take to "know" how mfc works? Do they tell the girls that only studios may register there? I think everyone read the wiki about mfc. I have no idea how much a internet connection costs in romania, philipines or russia. And yes, buying a pc or laptop plus cam is prolly very expensive for some of the girls. But what is left on your earned money after everyone got their part of the cake? Do the studios threatening the girls? I read (here) that some have the rule, after quitting that you arent allowed to return to the site for some months. But still, if you are a studio model after some time you (should) know what to do in order to get tokens, why not doing your own thing? I noticed some of the russian cam models even share the same room, and yes they are good in business. So why being at the END of the paylist?

 

[LovelyAnna22]

Girls don't work for studios for a long time, the clever ones make their own accounts, some quit videochat alltogether, and the ones who stay, just like the atmosphere and made friends at the studio, its easyer to get a work card from the studio and then you can actually make a loan to buy a car or an apartment, than going legal tax payer on your own... when you colaborate with the studio you can have a contract for one year or 2 years... so you cant really leave... i mean from the studio's point of view.. i tought you everything u know .. i invested my time in you and then u leave after a month.... sometimes knoledge is very valuable.... i had noone to teach me and i learned all by myself in years...

and about threatening the girls... some could be threatened .. kind of depends with what kind of people youre working with, i have worked for 3 studios before working on my own, worked on imlive, flirt4free, livejasmin, camcontacts, etc :-D so ive had experience with every kind of website and all sorts of people... i have been "threatened" ive heard them all .. lol.... bottom line if u really wanna leave you leave, there is nothing they can do unless they have a signed contract.

Hello girls...I was going to be a silent "stalker" here :-D but I would like to add a few words if you don't mind. First of all I would like to thank Amber for such spot where models can share opinions and experience (I'm registered on my local camgirl forum as well, but here it's waay different (in positive meaning) and all of you are just sweethearts!
But back to topic...I'm from Russia and I've been working in 2 studios and huge amount of sites for 5 years. And I have to say that I guess I was blessed to have great bosses. The first studio was run by models and actually I was there just for some months. But other studio was run by guy. He was strictly against guy-performers and his attitude was very respectful...but I think this was just lucky exception..and other thing I'm from big city, not from Syberia etc (in big cities situation is better because of studios competition)...One lady mentioned she had trainers in her studio, and this is great! Here in Russia we don't have such girls trainers and supporters - noone wants to share their positive experience. And usually girls are just "thrown" in front of the cam with toys in hand to do everything to convince and keep member longer in private and with lack of experience the only thing u can do - is to show off urself and play for ridiculous price...and I think it's soo wrong. During all these years I've been watching russian models' behaviours and I feel upset a little bit because to be honest russian models have bad reputation. And it's very easy to make member run away just by mentioning you are from Russia.
I'd not like you to take this post as a whining, it's just my personal point of view on russian studios in general.

Thank you for your input, Angel. I do hope you post more as I find your information and opinions wonderful.

 

[Sevrin]

I know of at least one studio in Russia where new models do get some guidance from a model who moved into administration and where models are on fairly good terms with each other, but it's possible that this is an unusual exception.

I'm also really happy that some studio models are joining us, especially Russian ones. I've tried to get my favourites to join, but without success.

Thank You very much Amber...I feel very flattered and honoured! *blushing*

Sevrin I believe You and I agree there're some VIP studios (mainly in St Pete aand Moscow) which offer trainers and sports, tanning etc...
Ah and about me, I've quit studio modelling 3 years ago (when met my DH and got married). I don't cam (but if I do - I do it from home) a lot since then and tried to quit it soo many times, but guess it's like a drug...I miss camming and chatting lol.
And You've mentioned You didn't succeed with Your attempts to attract Your favs here...in most of studios there's monitored traffic (I hope You'll understand my idea) - all sites (except webcam ones) and messengers are blocked. Maybe that's the reason?

 

[concadonk]

Hi there

I just wanted to add to this conversation I have a very close friend in Romania she has worked in a studio for sometime and after we both went through a real rough time last year we agreed to meet up have a weekend to celebrate having got through the bad times. Well we talked lots and of course started to talk about work I told her all about my job then she told me about life in the studio. At the time she loved it she had not long been told off for having personal conversations with me on mfc but the bosses had explained they were trying to protect her in case I was a wierdo they had no idea that we knew each other before she started to work for them. The girls were encouraged to make friends with each other have breaks and rests when ever they wanted and it was generally a chilled relaxed place with no pressure.
That was last year come forward a few months and the young lady is speaking to me less and less and I notice she is getting more and more tired and doing many double sessions so I told her I was coming over to force her to have a weekend rest now to start with she wanted to go to work while I was there but I got her to take the time off. When I was there she was a completely different girl the long hours were showing on her face all she wanted to do when ever she sat down was sleep I even had problems getting to come out for meals and she is a huge food lover. Anyway over a meal we talk about work again and it seems that her bosses have decided to follow the far eastern approach to management. Now there are arguments over the girls taking breaks, they are strictly enforcing the 10 sessions in two weeks or you do not get paid and that a minimum must be made before they get paid. Models are pretty much banned from making friends or talking to friends. All models chat logs are reviewed to make sure that they are not speaking to friends and warnings are issued if they are.
There are many other problems but I can not give details as it would be to obvious as to the studio and the girls involved if I did but most of the girls there are now being treated like objects that are only there to line the pockets of the bosses.
To the commentators in this thread that say the studios earn there money by setting up the girls and support etc this studio gives no technical support what so ever I have sat up a few times and talked some of the girls through fixing the PC they work on and most of the girls use there holiday snaps as profile pics. Sure they set them up but what the studio gives is not worth 50% of the models income. 10-12 models earning 200 euros every two weeks means the studio gets a hefty cut for sitting around in an office monitoring (Perving) over the girls cam feeds and doing very little else sure they supply the network connection and machines but of the 8 girls I know there only one doesnt have a laptop of there own they are only stopping in the studio to have somewhere away from family to work.
All of this may not be news to any of you and others may think it is a load of rubbish but I just thought you might like an insight into another studio.

 

[Courtney]

well for all this I think not all the studios are horrible but to add more Im from Colombia and I used to work for a studio and i though was fine but at the end I found that they cheat me with the money saying that when they claim the money the ATM take 200 COP for every dollar.... Soooooo they dont just take the 50%, they add another 15% cheating by that way
Now I start for 0 again and is difficult but at least I know that what Im earning is for me; and I found that for what I take from the ATM they just keep like 2 dollars or a bit more, depends on how much money is...


Sorry for my english (no the best)
