Most models scam. But honestly, I don't know why so many people are shocked or caught off-guard by this. It's pretty simple.
Bottom Line
A Fool is easily parted from his money. The models and the sites aren't here to protect you. Only you can do it. Scams are all over the place - loot boxes, NFTs, emails from Arabian princes. If you're prone to being scammed, why shouldn't a model take your money easily? If they don't, you're just going to get scammed by something else.
Sure, from time to time this is unavoidable, and you're just gonna get got. But more times than not, you should be able to notice and avoid such situations. Minimally, you should be taking precautions to look for
warning signs, and then use that knowledge to make solid risk-reward decisions.
On-site Transactions (Privates, True Privates, etc.)
1) Do Your Research: Take 2 minutes to search their name on cshive, cwtv and this site. Look at images and screenshots (not comments; user comments seem to be more wrong than right most of the time). Are you seeing that the model does the type of things you want them to do? If no, it doesn't mean it won't happen, but it's an upfront warning sign.
2) Ask in advance: Take another minute to check in PM is they're down for doing what you want them to do. Keep it short and sweet, but don't just open up with "You do anal in private". "Hello" <get a reply>. "You horny? Interested in a pvt?" <get a reply> "Do you do anal?" <get a reply>. After ~5 messages, most models will ignore you and focus on other people, so get to the point. But, if you jump directing to "fuck ass in pvt, bb?" they are likely to get pissed , so have an opener.
And yes, if a model isn't responding to your PMs, you can negotiate during the actual show itself. But again ... another warning sign and not recommended. Don't spend too long discussing, get to the point and start the action. Models will be more than happy wasting your tokens discussing what you want rather than doing it.
3) Know when to abort the mission: If you've been in the show for 5 minutes and the specific things you requested haven't started, you have to speak up. If it's been 10 minutes, then you need to bail. Granted, I have sometimes stayed past the 10-minute mark and got what I wanted, but again, another warning sign. It doesn't always play out that way.
This is more of an art than a science. You don't want to be their bitch, and usually you want to avoid coming off as an asshole ... hitting the "firm but fair" sweet spot often does the trick.
4) Get a refund if scammed: Most sites will refund up to 1,000 tokens. If you spent more on a show and didn't get what you wanted, then that's on you. If you're claiming refunds multiple times a month or multiple times for the same model, it likely won't happen, as the site will think that youare the problem not the model (and ... they're probably right).
Off-site Transactions (Skype Shows, Videos, etc.)
1) Use only for Special Requests: If all you're looking for is a show that could be performed on the site itself, then just do it on the site. This way, the site will refund you if things go south and you bail in time.
2) Prepare to be Scammed: Over the past 10 years, I've done almost 1,000 deals with almost 100 different models. Over the history of my deals, ~15%-20% of the models have been scammers (i.e. got nothing, or didn't get what was promised). Probably another 20%-25% required tactful conversations (going directly to arguing is the nuclear option, which almost never works ... but it may be cathartic), or waiting longer than desired in order to avoid the entire deal from going south. So, expect for only about half to two-thirds of models you deal with to do what was agreed without any hassle.
The best way to offset this is simply doing repeat offers with models that have already delivered the goods on prior deals.
3) Know your Prices for what you want: If you're offering $25 to watch a model who performs alone on the site to fuck her boyfriend in a video for you, that's likely way too low, and she has no intention of following through. She will likely just take your money because you're annoying the piss out of her. That said, I certainly have paid dirt-cheap prices for extraordinary shows, but this is pretty rare. Agreements to cheap prices ought to set off warning signals.
On the other hand, be careful of making prices so high that you're basically "making them an offer they can't refuse". If you have to offer too high of a price for something, then this is another warning sign. It may not be enough money for her to actually fuck her boyfriend in front of you, but you may very well hit the magic amount to make it worth the hassle for her to scam you. That said, I also certainly have paid very high amounts for certain "first time" shows.
4) Don't be a random: A lot of models won't do truly special requests for people they don't know. This isn't saying it is not possible, but you're fighting an uphill battle. If you never talked to the model before, never spent tokens on her, or haven't spent enough tokens to where your username is kind of familiar, and then magically she agrees to offsite deals, this is another warning sign.
Also, it is unlikely to successfully fulfill an insane request (film herself in a 5-man gangbang) in your first deal with her. It is not impossible, but you'll have better luck keeping things simple at first, and then pushing the boundaries once you have a history of holding up your side of the bargain, and she has shown a history of delivering.
