Here's one of recent memory... even delved into possible lawsuits for fraud

I see that I've been dragged into an ongoing topic of discussion here. That explains it.
Just to clarify - I don't think this kind of thing would be legally actionable, except in an extreme case. You couldn't go after MFC, because they're just providing a platform. Going after a model for anything less than a large sum of money wouldn't be worth the legal expenses, and it would be a very difficult case to prove even if you did. Getting a prosecutor to pursue it would be even harder, I'm sure.
If a model went online claiming to have cancer and asking for help to pay her medical bills, people tipped her huge amounts of money and she turned out to be lying, then yeah - I could see people going after her for it.
Smaller, more clear cut cases happen all the time, where a model is selling videos or Skype shows or whatever, a guy tips for it, and he never gets what he tipped for. I've never tried demanding a refund from MFC, but I know people can and do in that situation.
The bottom line is that people don't like being used and lied to. If I get that vibe from a model, I'm gone. And since I get that vibe from a lot of models, I'm very selective about who I spend time with.
