Epassporte - to hosts
I am sure many of you are upset right now. You do have some options to get any money that is currently in your Epassporte account. As to future payments, I would avoid Epassporte even if they fix whatever problem they are having. They are very difficult to deal with.
Even without the ability to use a bank machine or to buy stuff online, money can be withdrawn from a "Personal" Epassporte Account if the user registers either 1) a credit or debit card (I was told to use a Mastercard since they are having problems with VISA) or 2) a checking account in the USA. The problem of course is that most CC hosts have "Business Affiliate Accounts", not "Personal Accounts". I am also guessing that many don't have credit/debit cards either, not to mention that they are usually not in the USA.
I do not know if you can register a checking account in the USA or a Mastercard with a Business Affiliate Account so email Epassporte and ask. They are difficult to deal with and don't like answering questions about things other than the caller's own account, and I don't have a Business Afffiliate Account. But even if you cannot register a Mastercard or U.S. checking account, you still have options.
1. If you are in a country that allows you to have a Personal Account, then create one and transfer the money from your Business Affiliate Account to your Personal Account and then register your Mastercard or checking account (if you have one in the USA) to get your money. It doesn't cost that much to transfer the money to the bank account or credit card but it does take about two weeks.
2. If you do not have the ability to get a Personal Account and it turns out that you cannot register a Mastercard or U.S. checking account with a Business Affiliate Account (or you simply don't have a Mastercard and cannot get one or are not in the USA), then you will need to ask a friend to help you. The friend will need to have a Personal Account and either a Mastercard or a U.S. checking account that is registered with Epassporte, just like under option #1. You can then send him the money and he can withdraw it and send it to you by another method.
Take note that Business Affiliate accounts cannot receive money except from Business Accounts so he cannot send the money back to you if he has a Personal Account. CC uses a Business Account and you get Business Affiliate Accounts from them. I am not sure if other Business Accounts besides CC can send money to an Affiliate Account obtained from CC so once again, if you send money to your friend's Business Account instead of his Personal Account and then want it back, I don't know if this is possible. Like I said, it definitely is not possible if he has a Personal account, and I doubt Business Affiliate accounts can receive money from other Business Affiliate accounts. Also, I have no idea how one withdraws money from a Business Account after he receives it, but I am guessing that most friends that would be able to help would be using Personal Accounts so they would just needs a Mastercard or a U.S. checking account.
Also do not assume you have a Business Affiliate Account unless you got it from CC. I know one person that got a Personal Account from another site and then registered it with CC so some hosts may have personal accounts, not business afffiliate accounts.
In sum, if you are not currently using a personal account (or perhpas a business acount but I don't know much about these), then you will need 1) to find out if you can register a Mastercard or USA checking account with a business affiliate account and if yes, register the Mastercard or USA bank account with Epassporte, if you have one, 2) to create your own a personal account (or maybe business acount... but check if this will work) and transfer the money to it and withdraw it via a Mastecard or U.S. checking account, or 3) to get a friend with a personal account (or maybe a business account if this works) to help you. Just remember that after you transfer the money to another account, unless you it goes to a business account, you cannot get it back, and I'm not even sure if that would work if CC created that account for you and it is not CC's business account that is sending the money.
The only other possiblity would be for you to ask CC if you can transfer them back the money, they withdraw the money, and then send it under your new payment method. Perhaps they are considering this now.

RE: Epassporte - to hosts
It has clearly been stated by Epassporte that unless our funds with them are in the Wallet Account , funds cannot be transferred to our bank accounts. Typically when funds are deposited to the Epassporte Account they are in the Visa Account which includes the Electron Visa and the Virtual Visa accounts. The sum in those two accounts (which most of us leave our funds in) are frozen and the money cannot be transfered to our bank accounts or the Wallet Account. The Wallet Account is the only account with Epassporte that hosts can transfer money to their personal bank accounts. Thanks for the help though. Your intentions were good :)
RE: Epassporte - to hosts
ah...the few times i loaded money, I think it went into my wallet. So the money is locked in your VISA account? that sucks if true. But maybe some hosts transferred it to their wallets to be safe until they needed it as epassporte had recommended.
More detailed epass info
As host below stated, the money must be in the "wallet" section to wire it...most do not hold their money in that location. The epass virtual visa and visa electron accounts are frozen by Visa and the bank, not epass.
I called Visa to see if the problem was with epass accounts or all cards issued by the bank in St Kitts. I was told it was just the epass accounts.
It seems the main issue the anti money laundering (AML) and anti terrorist rules that have been recently instituted.
The types of cards that are the main focus are debit pre=paid cards, gift cards and reloadable top up cards.
The main trigger points are cards that:
Don't have the value clearly labeled on them.
Are reloadable at places other than banks.
Can have a maximum lifetime value of more than $1,000, including reloads.
Can be used anywhere -- especially if they can be used internationally.
Can have the value transferred to another card.
Are purchased in large amounts or seem otherwise suspicious.
(epass visa accounts fit almost every category)
The solution may take time, the people at epass are working on options. I truly believe the people at epass will get the money to the owners eventually. I feel comfortable in saying that the epass people are not scamming anyone, this is just a problem of the paranoia of our times.
A suggestion for hosts is to start receiving monies in a more straightforward bank account (business or personal). Run your business as a real business.That would require paying taxes in your local country as well.

RE: More detailed epass info
Can epassporte funds be transfered back to cc, so they can put into hosts personal banks? There must be a lot of money tied up there!
RE: More detailed epass info
I don't believe so... the funds in the VISA portion are frozen and cant even be transferred internally.... Again don't totally blame epass, this is "big brother" at work.
The funds are there in the bank, they are just currently frozen. this is NOT like the bank failures in eastern europe etc. NO ONE has stolen money (at least as far as I know).

RE: More detailed epass info
Which money laundering and anit-terrorism laws do you refer to? Are they American laws and VISA is forced to follow them? Is VISA incorporated in the USA? I don't think Epassporte is an American company but maybe I am wrong.
And by the way, if anything, I have found epassporte to be very annoying and overly protective. Obviously, nobody that works for VISA is an epassporte account holder or they would know this.
On two occasions, I needed to send copies of my credit card, proof of address via a copy of a letter sent to me such as a utility bill, and a copy of my ID. I think that I also had to send my credit card statement. I see no reason VISA or anyone else would flag them. Epassporte freezes accounts at even the smallest hint of fraud of any type to the point that they are impossible to deal with. And I think I never loaded or transferred more than $500 at one time.
I once sent a few hundred dollars to a friend and she took some of it out the next day and they froze both our accounts. WTF? This was after my having sent money to her once before without a problem. And even after both of us sent everything but a DNA sample, it took me forever to find someone to get them to reopen our accounts. My friend literally had to open a bank account to prove who she was and where she lived to epassporte.
I really hate them. Even talking to them on the phone today, I had to call several times to try to get an answer. And in terms of understanding them, all I will say that is before anyone ever complains about a chathost's English, call epassporte!
By the way, Epassporte has been having issues with VISA for a long time. They stopped letting people use VISA cards to load money on their accounts over a year ago and said at that time they were working on the problem. Well, they're still working on it, lol, and now things are worse for their customers. It might not be a big conspiracy, but they clearly are not the most competent people in this world. Hopefully, this situation will be resolved fast, but I would not be surprised if it went on for a long time and epassporte simply disappeared, money and all.
Finally, in terms of your list of red flags, that is a pretty broad list. VISA and other companies issue cards specifically for travelling overseas that one loads money onto that would seem to fall into your list. $1000? That is pretty low, and you just shut down one of the american automobile associations (AAA) products in the USA that I find very useful. VISA itself offers such products, lol. Maybe they are trying to eliminate all the competition and distribute things directly to make more money.

RE: More detailed epass info
I think you are being unfair to epassporte. Considering what has just happened don't you think their phones might have been a bit busy today so it took some time for them to answer you. It is surely reasonable that they are very cautious about fraud. I have had my own issues with them but generaly found them reasonable to reach a solution. Regarding the legal situation it does not matter whether EPassporte or Visa or the St Kitts Bank are incorporated in the USA or not. The USA tries to apply some laws on a global basis and none of these companies could afford to be prohibited from doing business in the USA. Although there are other preloaded cards the issues with epassporte are likely to be traceability of who is loading them and the fact that they can be issued to someone abroad without the recipient providing any proof of ID. At least one of EPassporte's competitors has some similar problems regarding loading of money. I do not think this is about the competence of EPassporte..If it is to do with the money-laundering and anti terrorism laws I can think of possible ways for epassporte to resolve it but they would take some weeks toimplement.
RE: More detailed epass info
I actually got through on the phone right away each time I called. I was surprised. I guess that it hasn't hit the fan quite yet over there. The problem is how they deal with you after they answer the phone.
Obviously, since terrorism and money laundering is such a big issue, they are not effectively communicating with VISA and the U.S. government about their security procedures which I have found to be wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy over the top for what were very small transactions on two different occasions. Or maybe the real issue is that the are targeting small users like me and letting the problem transactions go through and finally someone had to stop it. I don't know.
Maybe they should have been demanding id from all account users from the outset and let them know that without such id, they cannot use epassporte instead of doing things like freezing accounts AFTER they take your money! Perhaps that would have made them less difficult to deal with and kept the government and VISA happy.
And I don't mean the current freeze. Like I said, they were in the habit of freezing accounts AFTER they got your money and took their fees in the name of security leaving you with two choices: comply or lose your money! F@#k.them!
All I know is that they are EXTREMELY difficult to deal with and unfair to their customers. And I find it interesting that even people not blaming them for this mess keep saying that they too have had problems dealing with Epassporte. That's all anybody needs to know. I feel bad about saying this, and I hope I am wrong since some of my friends cannot now get their money, but I wouldn't be surprised one bit if this situation goes on a long time and is never resolved.

RE: More detailed epass info
I am guessing you do not regularly send money outside your country as you do not seem to be aware of the checks that are now made and proofs that have to be given. The extent of these has changed dramatically in the five years. You also may not make extensive use of your credit card abroad,or at least not in Eastern Europe, South ast Asia and the Indian subcontinent. I have not had problems dealing with Epassporte. I have had some problems with the EPassporte account which were resolved. I have 4 normal Mastercard credit cards and 3 Visa cards and have sometimes had problems using these too. Overall EPassporte was no worse than any other card company at resolving the problems and was better than some. You seem to be basing your opinion on one bad experience. The point of freezing the account until they are have confirmed ID is to be sure that you and the recipient do not lose your money. You do not say why they froze the account or what the countires.
RE: More detailed epass info
I have had problems on more than one occasion. Each time involved no more than $500 and was to Eastern Europe.
When there is a problem, Epassporte is very secretive and won't explain why. They simply freeze your account and don't give you any explanation other than their "system" detected something. Then they force you to surrender all of your personal information such as your photo id or you cannot get your money back.
You might not find this a big deal, but I do. I transfer money outside of the country by other methods, and the one time I had a problem, the service offered to return my money instead of holding my funds hostage until I complied with their demands. I was not happy that they didn't want the transfer to go through (it eventually did), but at least they were willing to give me my money without forcing me to comply with their demands.
And when trying to solve a problem with Epassporte, they are extremely difficult to deal with. I am still waiting for a post, including from you, that says they never had a problem with Epassporte. Oh wait, I guess that will not happen now since every single customer is now having a problem right now if they hadn't had one in the past, which I doubt!
And for anyone that thinks Epassporte didn't have notice of this issue with visa, I doubt that too. They know the laws and should have been doing what it takes to comply with them. Contrary to epassporte's notice to customers, I doubt that visa just cut them off without warning.
If it was not for all of the people with money frozen, I would be happy that epassporte is going through exactly what they did to me. First, they took my money and then they froze it until I complied with their demands. Visa is doing the same thing. Unfortunately, it is really the customers' money, not epassporte's.
Anyway, however this all turns out, epassporte is soon going to disappear. Nobody will ever trust them again except maybe you, lol.

RE: More detailed epass info
From what you have said EPassporte were concerned that there was some attempt to make a fraudulant withdrawal. Financial institutions may not give details of why they are suspicious in case this reveals too much about what checks they carry out. They ask for your, and the card holders personal details to try to be sure that you and she are who you say you are and so entttled to give them instructions. The money is frozen until they are sure. Can you not understand they are trying to safeguard your money.
The issues I experienced were not with epassporte themselves but when using the card which resulted in it being blocked. The reasons for the blocking were understandable and epassporte acted quickly to unblock it.

RE: More detailed epass info
If they had given me the option of having the money sent back to me and were easier to deal with, I might not look at them the way that I do now. But I did NOT have that option! They were NOT protecting me from anything. They were NOT protecting my friend from anything. I kept telling them that all was okay with the transfers, and they knew it was me since they ask a lot of questions to verify who the caller is. If they don't want the transfer to go through, then fine.... Undo the transfer and put the money back on my credit card (which is how I loaded money at the time). But do NOT freeze my account and my friend's account until I comply with demands! That is wrong!
And by the way, I had sent money to the person involved before so I have no idea why the first time it was okay and the next it was not other than maybe she withdrew the money faster. But so what? Once the money is there, the whole point is to be able to withdraw it!!!
And by the way, in terms of security measures, epassporte has a policy of allowing a customer to appoint someone to talk about her account. My friend told them that I was allowed to talk about her account. I was cleared to talk about her account. I was cleared to talk about my account. There was no issue with the method I loaded money. Everything was 100% okay. But they still froze the money and forced us both to comply with their demands instead of being willing to return it to me so I could send her the money by another method. And the amount in question was no more than $500. (I think it was less since I had to pay fees to epassporte so I loaded $500 and transferred under $500. That should be flagged???)
They held my funds hostage, pure and simple. All they had to do was return the money to my credit card if they were so worried, just like another service was willing to do. But instead, they held the money hostage until their demands were met. Why don't you get this, and why do you think such action was okay?
You have your view, and I have mine. But it doesn't really matter. Epassporte will never recover from this. The second you come between a person and his money, especially when you are in the money transfer business, you are done! Let's just hope that people get their money back.

RE: More detailed epass info
As you say we are unlikely to agree. Maybe I think the way I do because I have also sent money using Ikobo and the recipient had her account compromised and did lose money. It took a lot of time, many phone calls and submission of various documents as evidence to get the money back. I would have preferred the account to be frozen for a few days.
RE: More detailed epass info
I looked up and saw simular information today but also referencing it more to the banks fault for not conforming to new laws of 2009 to be able to handle this type of account. I feel that the owner was very straight forward with all and will do his best to rectify it as soon as possible.
It is true that mosts account holders left funds in the Visa part of the account so that they could have instant access with the Visa debit card.

RE: Epassporte - to hosts
Can you explain for us unknowing members what happened? We surely want our beautiful ladies to get their earnings here after all their hard work.
quick expl of epass
Epass is similar to PayP#l. However PP, I don't believe, will do business with "adult" sites.
Most of the sites credit the hosts prepaid type accounts with their earnings. As an example CC pays host X's epassporte account. Host X can then access funds at a local ATM or use the virtual Visa for purchases.
As of today, the hosts have no access to that money they stored in those accounts. They have no access to their earnings and/or savings.
CC has given the hosts other options for payment and is trying to be accommodative to the hosts. They should be commended for this.
I also think people should allow epass to try to work through this if possible, it is not their fault (or at least not entirely). Its this world of big brother we are now living in.

RE: Epassporte - to hosts
So why haven't you just opened a traditional banking relationship?
Why didn't you open a new epass account in the new "non controlled" country? (Epass did not make up controlled countries, they are just following laws.)
Don't blame epass for governments changing the rules. If you get your money and this was beyond their control, will people apologize?

Don't blame epass for governments changing the rules. If you get your money and this was beyond their control, will people apologize?

RE: Epassporte - to hosts
What are the other options? Can cc deposit directly into foreign bank accounts? Would hate to not have any hosts online if it's difficult to impossible for hosts to get their money.
RE: Epassporte - to hosts
They can wire the money to bank accounts but there is a charge. This has been an option for a long time, including before epassporte was being used on CC. I believe CC is waiving the charge for the next 3 pay periods to try to help hosts out.
I am not sure, but perhaps receiving a physical check is also an option, but that can take a long time to receive and process. I am talking about several weeks from the time a check is mailed until the check funds are actually available after it is deposited. I know that one site used Western Union.
There are other options, but epassporte was best for most hosts since they don't usually have bank accounts or if they do, don't want the money appearing in their accounts.

Do you hosts expect your viewer to have his cam on when he enters video?
I sometimes get that feeling with some hosts, not all but a pretty fair number. Did it ever occur to you that the member is paying and maybe his privacy is important to him?
RE: Do you hosts expect your viewer to have his cam on when he enters video?
I sometimes get the feeling that some people don't visit CC with the intention of wanting enjoyment and are always looking for things to whinge about!
RE: Do you hosts expect your viewer to have his cam on when he enters video?
i just ask do u have cam or no. if yes im happy if no the ok too
RE: Do you hosts expect your viewer to have his cam on when he enters video?
Is it such a big problem? Just say you have no cam and thats all. Pfff....
RE: Do you hosts expect your viewer to have his cam on when he enters video?
Several hosts demanded that I have a cam, and that I have it on. Then I get blocked because I don't want to use it
RE: Do you hosts expect your viewer to have his cam on when he enters video?
oh please, just move on and find host who smart enough not demand it from you. :)
RE: Do you hosts expect your viewer to have his cam on when he enters video?
Where do you viewers fins these hosts ? In all my years here I have never had a host demand that I put a cam on.
RE: Do you hosts expect your viewer to have his cam on when he enters video?
Thats coz they know better(scared)
RE: Do you hosts expect your viewer to have his cam on when he enters video?
I've had 2 including one in not shy while I was in video. She said no cam no show. The other was in free chat.
RE: Do you hosts expect your viewer to have his cam on when he enters video?
to have cams anymore and they usually like to share. So it is not a ridiculous question. Why take it so personal?
RE: Do you hosts expect your viewer to have his cam on when he enters video?
my thoughts on this!!!
i hate being on cam i am 45 and ugly i know this.
I come her to see hot women because i had to settle with a not so hot women, i hope she don't read this
But i hate when a host offers a show only if you have cam this kill me.
I have a old cam thrown somewhere at home but normally only on cc when i am on business trips so if host offers only shows if have cam it leaves a lot of hosts out of my list

the object is to get a sexy show and showing my ugly ass will most defiantly ruin the mood
RE: Do you hosts expect your viewer to have his cam on when he enters video?
to chat with yes to see is something else
RE: Do you hosts expect your viewer to have his cam on when he enters video?
I am surprised that any host would not video with you if you do not have cam on but there are many hosts that it doesn't matter.....so keep searching. It is like with any problem on here....just move on to the next host. There is something for everyone :))
RE: Do you hosts expect your viewer to have his cam on when he enters video?
Cam to cam came about due to viewer/customer demand. It is his decision to use it or not use it. It is not under the control of the host. It is there for the viewer and NOT the host. If you feel the need to watch a guy wank on cam, get a member account and go see Boys Home Alone.
RE: Do you hosts expect your viewer to have his cam on when he enters video?
You block viewers who not show their cam? You are so busy you can turn away viewers that prefer to remain anonymous?
RE: Do you hosts expect your viewer to have his cam on when he enters video?
Only viewers with bad sarcastic attitudes will get blocked like yours :)
I don't demand cam from members and I doubt so many hosts do either.

RE: Do you hosts expect your viewer to have his cam on when he enters video?
It is common and many do automatically so if he not do on his own he not want to do it. So stop asking and just do your job
RE: Do you hosts expect your viewer to have his cam on when he enters video?
I don't mind sending cam but I normally only do it if the hosts ask for it. Therefore I like it when the host asks. I know some hosts who definitely do not like to see the member and two or three who only do a full show when the members sends cam. Most hosts seem to like it when the member sends cam but are not bothered if he doesn't.
RE: Do you hosts expect your viewer to have his cam on when he enters video?
Yes I know of what you speak. They are worried they are being recorded and will wind up somewhere on line where they do not want to be
RE: Do you hosts expect your viewer to have his cam on when he enters video?
hard to understand why this is allowed.
RE: im upset!!!
No host in instant action is as high as your price. You charge $4 just to chat? WTF?

What good is "Country" when...?
Why bother having "Country" listed when hosts can just put "Just Ask Me" and only a bar minority actually list their country there. Might as well just remove that from the template, eh?
RE: What good is "Country" when...?
no. usually hosts from usa, uk, and west europe prefer to show their countries as it brings them many viewers....guys always have hopes to meet up with hosts in real life. lol
RE: What good is "Country" when...?
but in our dreams(fantasies) we meet up with even more hosts & get even more sex :--)
RE: What good is "Country" when...?
Yes tisme. There are only 3 female hosts I haven't met and had sex with from this site :P

let me guess inyf.the 3 are,the sighted,the hearing & those with sense of smell? :--)

The reason for Glamour and Little Shy
Yes in some ways because some hosts are shy, and yes some viewers like a challenge, but maybe some viewers are shy. I hear this from hosts I visit in pvt. And maybe there are more shy viewers than one would think?
RE: The reason for Glamour and Little Shy
To assume that just because one is male that their desires and thoughts are identical is a huge insult to the male population. Every man is unique and his interest in females is different. Be a host
for a day and you and other viewers would understand that. :))
for a day and you and other viewers would understand that. :))
RE: The reason for Glamour and Little Shy
If I was a host for a day I certainly wouldn't get to understand that. I can tell you now that the number of visits I would get would be exactly zero. Even if I was free :D
RE: The reason for Glamour and Little Shy
I would have to have a sex change and go back in time at least 40 years.
What is this?
The equivalent to male bragging rights? So many people bragging about meeting a host. Sounds like a bunch of guys getting together and bragging about their sexual conquests. Personally, if I was going to meet a host in person, or had met a host in person, I sure wouldn't post it here in the forum. That would be between me and her, and no one else's business. Just my opniion.
RE: What is this?
You're right. Its like high school with some of these idiots that post in here.
RE: What is this?
Agree... why would you make your "friend" feel like she's just another one of your conquests? Or that's she's available for just anyone with enough nerve or deceitfulness?
Or maybe that's your attitude, I dunno.
But by bragging about it you only diminish yourself.

RE: What is this?
And if the girl you had met would want to chat in the forum about her meeting experience:)? not me of course- I am a good girl:)
RE: What is this?
I don't know about him but for me any girl who wants to talk about me on here is welcome to do so. Even if it's just to say the sex was rubbish. At least everyone else would know I got some sex :P
Also it is such a shame you are a good girl. I much prefer the bad girls lol
Also it is such a shame you are a good girl. I much prefer the bad girls lol
RE: What is this?
The only reason I would meet a host in person would be to start a real relationship. The time, effort and expense just to get laid is not worth it. Of course most members at some point in your video imagine or wish they were in person with the host. But to visit for the sake of pure sex demeans the girls and makes the guy look a desperate pathetic loser.
RE: What is this?
"desperate pathetic loser.' defines a very large portion of the membership here.
RE: What is this?
You assume of course that the meeting with the host was for the purpose of getting laid. In my experience over my years on this site (when I have met a few hosts) sex is never on offer and any guy stupid enough to think that it will be on offer (and that the host will behave in real life like she does in her chattoom) is at best immature and at worst mentally deficient. Incidentally, I am not looking for bragging rights - the only reason I have met any hosts is because I happen to spend a lot of time in their country on business and speak the language.
RE: What is this?
I agree going to see a host with the express purpose of having sex without a prior agreement is not the sole reason for everyone. But nature has decreed that when a man and woman...especially a beautiful, sexy and available young woman meet...both minds focus on sex or at least the possibility of sex. To think that any member would travel to see a host without the possibility and expectation of sex is naive. Why else would we come here? In your case...you are there for other reason...you could be the sole exception...IMHO
RE: What is this?
Give me a break. I am a warm-blooded male: I travel everywhere thinking of the possibility of sex. I also consider the likelihood of utter failure on that score. That doesn't mean I wouldn't be happy just meeting a friend for coffee and chat. And, perhaps I flatter myself, but I think I would have a higher degree of success with coffee.
RE: What is this?
If you plan a serious relationship- it is better to start with the coffee and a conversation:) If you plan sex and even agree with the girl that you meet for sex only, firstly she may suddenly be afraid to have sex with a hardly-known man and don't come to the date or simply get bored...lets face it directly hosts have enough sexual interactions here, "at work"... and meeting somebody for pure sex is the extention of their job on their free time. work work work:( :D
RE: What is this?
Sounds like we have mutual interests, we just gotta pick the coffee shop :P
See, it's all a matter of finding the right one... :))))))

+100 Very annoying when a viewer leave you video in the middle of a show without any remarks and even bye. Next time i don't want to do show just not to look stupid if he will leave me sudden. Think about it guys please.
RE: Viewers, tell what you want!
You raise an excellent point. While I know it makes the who process seem like buying cold cuts at the deli...both host and member should be very clear about what to expect before a video. Once you agree the host should perform as agreed and the member shouldn't complain. Certainly he can suggest additional things during video that the host might or might not agree to. Communication and concensus.....makes for a happy video.
RE: Viewers, tell what you want!
Everything which you say is true, but I think a little bit of forebearance is also called for. If the members were assertive and confident in their wishes, there is a good possibility they wouldn't be needing to visit yours (or any other) room in the first place.

RE: How do you?
i would think that they would already know that they're weren't being truthful with you. if you wish, rather, to simply express your disappointment in their not being truthful with you, just tell 'em to suck it.
RE: How do you?
Ez up above made an excellent point that anyone (who is in this situation) should always keep in mind. Namely, YOU just realized that someone has been untruthful...but the cold hard fact is THEY knew all along that they were lying. So you have to ask yourself two simple questions...
1) Were they untruthful about something small or big? If it was small, then you could show what a good friend (or lover) you are by forgiving and forgetting. You could be the peacemaker and just call it a simple misunderstanding. But if it was something big...something that mattered to you…then that speaks volumes about how this other person REALLY sees you, or how they REALLY value your feelings. After all, TRUE friends or lovers shouldn't lie to each other...right?
2) Which brings us to the second question. What is it emotionally worth to you to confront them? To get some payback and to call them out on their lie? Personally, I always tell the truth. I learned a long time ago that no good ever comes from lying. That's because lies always find a way to come back and bite you in the ass. So Ez is right. They KNEW they were being untruthful and you should think about that for a moment. Given the choice between telling you the truth or telling you a lie…they chose to lie. That's NEVER a good sign.
So, maybe you'll confront them and they'll shrug their shoulders, at which point you'll know what they really think of you. Or maybe they'll genuinely feel bad…and they'll sincerely apologize…and you can go from there. Either way, I'd definitely call them on it. At least then you'll be showing that you're smart enough to spot when you're being lied to. And you'll be showing that you've got the courage and conviction to stand up for yourself. So no matter what happens, at least you'll still have your pride in the end.

RE: How do you?
All the facts aren't in yet but it's shaping up to be a small lie.A rather small lie but a lie nonetheless.
Thanks for your advice and input on this.
Thanks for your advice and input on this.
RE: How do you?
Well, if it was a small lie and something you could look past -- as I said above, if it was something you could forgive and forget -- then I hope you and this other person can work things out.
You could also chalk it up to human nature. Sometimes people tell lies because they just don't want to answer certain questions or face up to certain things. The only problem being when they get caught, it hurts the other person because then they ask the obvious question: "Why did you lie to me?" So, best of luck to you, and I hope it won't ruin a good friendship or more, if that's the case.

RE: How do you?
If you are talking about someone at CC all bets are off. One should always assume that everything a host or member says is a lie or at the very least not 100% truthful. In 7+ years I have trusted only a couple of hosts only to find out that they too were not truthful about everything...and members...well we are all liars.

I always say hi and ask the host some personal stuff to pretend that I care about her as a person rather than just seeing her as a sex object.
I always say bye as it gives me a little bit longer to clean up the mess.

ive been talkin to this 1 host for a couple years n we really fell for each other. we talked bout seein each other and have started plannin our lives together but come to find out she actually married n just now tellin me. she says she leave him n be with me. anyone ever met for a host that was married n did it ever work out? i not sure what 2 do n would luv if any1 been in same situation on here since i read many stories of meetin up. thx
RE: meeting hosts...
if she has been lying to u for over 2 yrs and only just now "telling the truth" she is bound to lie again...and the fact she says she is gonna leave her husband for u...well...no doubt she'll do the same again IF she did get with u
RE: meeting hosts...
Hate to do it, but got to agree with shy. Most of this site is living a lie to some extent or another. There have been some "success" stories here, but, I think, not as many as would have liked.
RE: meeting hosts...
It may be that she truly likes you. And there is no doubt that love disappears after a while. Maybe she is experiencing it with her husband now. But telling you that she would leave him although she has never met you for real...it goes a bit too far.
RE: meeting hosts...
Exactly as imshy put it. Also, there is absolutely nothing guaranteed in a relation that started off with a lie. Especially that she was able to keep the lie for 2 years! Geez! I wish I could keep a lie for so long, lol.

Imshy's reply is absolutely correct. Anyone, regardless if male or female, who can hold such a lie for so long has now taught themselves how to use it again for their own benefit at the expense of the unsuspected.
RE: meeting hosts...
I wanna put anoher point of view. She may have atarted off saying she she was single, as many hosts do. Once you two began to get more serious it becomes hard to admit she has been lying. She may also have wondered about your own commitment. Now that you are seriously talking about meeting for real she has admitted the truth. If had continued to lie after real meetings i would be inclined to agree with Shy and Mondo but as you have not yet met I would still consider going ahead and meeting.
RE: meeting hosts...
Better to find out now than when you're in the netcafe in the hotel lobby telling her you arrived as promised and she asks if she can bring her boyfriend to come meet you. It happened to me.
RE: meeting hosts...
... and it happened to me too... 15 months of chatting, romantic letters, gifts, sms, and phone calls bothways. She always told me she was single living with mom and dad. I thought I had found the love of my life so I traveled to russia to meet her. I got to the hotel and called her to let her know. She sounded so excited to know I was there. Then half an hour later she showed up with a young guy. I didn't know who he was and I never thought it was her bf since he even smiled at me. She greeted me with a nice hug and a fast kiss to my lips then I shook hands with the young man. He was polite. I thought he was a friend to her. She then said: He is my bf with who I live for 3 years and we will get marry soon, but we need your help to get visa to USA... I felt a bucket of cold water on my head to my toes. Well, that was the only day we met. She text me to meet again without her bf, but no thanks! I told her I was actually meeting someone else that was really single and not a lier as her. I had a nice necklace that I had bought for her and decided to give it to another host friend of mine that happened to live in the same town... but dont get me wrong. My other friend always told me about her husband and family and she didnt ask for any visa help.
RE: meeting hosts...
This is Fantasy Island. Slam Bam thank you mam. Over and out. Case Closed.
RE: meeting hosts...
Were it not for the crushed heart you were nursing I would have said to meet her, pressure her for a bit of "fun" and after a couple days without her bf around stop answering her calls.
I was in a certain East European city for matters other than meeting hosts and I put out a few calls to meet for coffee. I met one and had a pleasant visit. Another simply said "I'd love to but don't have time." One sent a request for an advance payment of 200 euros for a night of fun. And one sent me on a wild goose chase for an hour trying to find the meeting place until she finally texted me and said: "sorry my mom is sick, I can't come." Some of these girls love to play you.
Funny thing is the one that didn't have time actually IMed me a few months later asking for a loan. I told her that it was unfortunate that she didn't have an hour or so for a coffee and - isn't it odd - I just didn't know where my wallet was just now.
Bottom line, never go on such a trip with the sole intention of meeting only a single, particular girl. Don't go expecting a sure-thing hook-up. Have a back-up plan and be ready to simply play tourist with solo visits to museums and castles, if it comes to that.

RE: meeting hosts...
You need to revise you life and analyse why do you always fall for a certain type of girls that "play" you. I know many girls on here (including myself) who definitely don't play such "cheap" games. And I actually know a few cases when girls got married to the guys they met here. You simply have to be honest with yourself- analyse your age, appearance and level of intelligence. Maybe it would be useful to read about the history of the country the girl is from. But not what you read in usual papers (mostly all the same and often bullshit)...maybe better talk to a person from that country originally and that moved to your country- ask her how it was there... You will be better prepared for a meeting.
Ciao.
Ciao.
RE: meeting hosts...
man sounds like a bad ride but at least u get to see the country. what country and city did this happen in?
RE: meeting hosts...
Something I always thought about in that situation, if she will leave another man for you, what is to keep her from leaving you for another man? Honestly, unless he is abusing her, if she is willing to leave someone so easily, how could you trust her later. Same goes for a guy willing to leave his wife, how can there be trust in the future?
RE: meeting hosts...
I agree, the girl is not worth your trust or doesn't mean it seriously if she wants to leave you. I don't approve of her promises but if you look at the situation from a new angle, it may be that she has lost some sense of reality talking to so many men here. When you work as a host and are married, you may not separate as clearly: "This is my husband and I do sexual things for him only and those are all other men". She may be hiddenly unsatisfied with the fact that he lets her work as a chathost and is searching for a more "traditional" relationship... The question is whether you are able to support her financially and emotionally while she will try to find a new job in a new for her country or will you let her work here as her husband..? I don't say he abuses her by letting her work but we don't know how she feels about it. Will you always suspect her of of wanting to leave you? And will she always have to prove you she is not a bad person despite she has left her husband?...(I can imagine it may be tiresome for her in the long run).
RE: meeting hosts...
Reminds me of Jesse James and Sandra Bullock. He was married when they met and he left his wife for Sandra. And then Sandra gets all upset when he commits infidelity. lol What a joke.
RE: meeting hosts...
So is there a big difference between a married person and a person with a steady bf? If a girl leaves her bf for you, you will not think that she might cheat on you as well but if she has left your husband for you, she cannot be trusted?
What is better, a girl without children who got divorced for you or a single mum not in a relation?
Mmm and what about the age gap? If the guy is wealthy and she is not and she is considerably younger, she is only after his money and cannot be trusted as well?
And if she is Russian/ Romanian and you are from the UK / US etc. than the same rule applied?
I think you can always find something why you cannot trust somebody.
That is why chathosts don't disclouse much information about themselves in chat - in real life many are normal people in different situations and not "ideal chathosts" to become your gf. And people they meet on the internet cannot be trusted right away to provide them with the "right information". Perhaaps it is better to talk about all those differences in a normal face to face talk. But then the problem is that the moment the married person starts talking to you about the possibility of being together - she moves to the category of possible cheaters :))

Stick to the Technical Forum please, you're adept at this side of the forums

I think you made a mistake. Its not a lady. Its just a HIV test called ..."Elisa test".
Hope it helps.

Collagen Lips
I can't stand collagen lips. Well, maybe slightly done ones, to give them more sexy, puffy look. But I can't believe how many women I see who seem to have fallen asleep during the injection process and woke up to look like some kind of sucker-fish. One woman I saw, I swear, if you smacked her face up against a wall, her lips would have suctioned cupped her there until next July comes round again.

Hey! Did someone of you have the AIDS test "ELISA" positive and Westernblot (the more thorough test) negative? I have had the same reaction one year ago and the current ELISA and then Westernblot test are the same. So I 100% have no AIDS, the doc said, but I wonder why the f... do I belong to the 1% of the people who have this "false positive" first reaction:( ?
RE: concerned girl
You learn something new on this site every day.
But the reason may be (from Wikipedia) "the most controversial aspect of this test is determining the "cut-off" point between a positive and negative result."

RE: concerned girl
shamefully enough only one for many years. And hundreds of cyberguys... maybe even thousands O:)
RE: concerned girl
Unfortunately, false positives happen. The tests are not perfect. They also occur in home pregnancy tests.
RE: concerned girl
better false positives than false negatives,
Also ELISA tests are not as specific as the other, they respond only to antibodies for HIV and not HIV itself, your body may be making the antibodies even though you dont have HIV.
My mother has the same problem with TB tests. She always tests positive on the simple test, but never positive when an x-ray is done. Working in the schools system and food service she has had to take the test several times in the past.

RE: concerned girl
Thank you for your replies.
I wonder...if one day I meet another guy and we like each other etc. (life is long), would I have to tell him before sex that I have the test results? Or not mention at all? What would you prefer, guys?

RE: concerned girl
...and what would be your reaction/decision given the fact that it is "negative" after all? I guess smart people first do the tests and then have sex. Condoms protect but not from all sexaully transmitted deseases...

RE: concerned girl
it happened to my bf. we lived together for 4 years and was happy couple, but he met a girl at work and had one time sex with her. he didnt know until someone else told him that the girl was HiV positive. he asked the girl and the girl confessed she had the virus. he went to test with doctor and the result was positive. then he came home and confessed he was unfaithful to me with this girl and that he was afraid that i got the virus too, but my results were negative. he was very sad for very long time and he thought he could die, but i told him to go to other doctor and this new doctor say he was fine and that his test before was a false positive. i am with him becuase i love him much and i know he learned from his mistake.
RE: concerned girl
wow thank you for sharing. Did your bf try to find out what the reason of such a reaction was? My doc told me that one of the genes may act strange to give the "false positive" reaction. And also if you have allergies, the "false positive" may occur.
Not sure whether I should try to find out what the reason is. I will have to have all the genes and the allergies and the infections checked...

RE: concerned girl
If you are satisfied that you are genuinely negative, then I should just rejoice in that fact and not worry too much about the cause of the false positive. Brooding on the past will only compromise your enjoyment of the present and future. Try to put it behind you and have fun.
Split pictures
Why are pictures in host's photo galleries sometimes split? One host I looked at (Miss Luna) the picture is split in three parts: the bottom left part is moved to the far right, the bottom right part moved to the far left, and the top section as it should be. Most of the time, however, the picture just looks like someone cut it with a knife and taped it back together but didn't get it lined up right. Not every pic, just some look that way.
RE: Split pictures
Must be your bifocals gramps...I looked at her pics and they look fine. I don't see what you mean. Take any LSD lately?
RE: Split pictures
The first pic in MissLuna's 8th August archive is split into 3 parts. At least on my PC. Perhaps it is you who needs bifocals. Either that or I have accidentally swallowed some LSD.
RE: Split pictures
Well I suggest opening your eyes next time. First three pics on 8 August are as I said.
RE: Split pictures
true. its happends. its somthing like ERROR... :((((( i wish our pics were in better quality on cc..:(
RE: Split pictures
I suspect it is meant to be artistic. Either that or there camera is fucked or I have, still, accidentally swallowed some LSD.
RE: Split pictures
if a host uploads a pic thru the cc server by way of splitcam this sometimes happens...it isnt anything to do with her cam just the way it uploads and there is nothing the host can do about it
The Old Man
Harold is 95 and lives in a Senior Citizen Home.
Every night after dinner, Harold goes to a secluded garden behind the Centre to sit and ponder his accomplishments and long life.
One evening, Mildred, age 87, wanders into the garden. They begin to chat and before they know it, several hours have passed.
After a short lull in their conversation, Harold turns to Mildred and asks, 'Do you know what I miss most of all?'
She asks, 'What?'
'Sex!!' he replies,
Mildred exclaims, 'Why you old fart. You couldn't get it up if I held a gun to your head!'
'I know,' Harold says, 'but it would be nice if a woman could just hold it for a while.'
Well, I can oblige,' says Mildred, who unzips his trousers, removes his manhood and proceeds to hold it. Afterward, they agree to meet secretly each night in the garden where they would sit and talk and Mildred would hold Harold's manhood.
Then one night Harold didn't show up at their usual meeting place. Alarmed, Mildred decided to find Harold and make sure he was O.K.
She walked around the Senior Citizen Home where she found him sitting by the pool with Ethel, another female resident, who was holding Harold's manhood!
Furious, Mildred yelled, 'You two-timing son of a bitch! What does Ethel have that I don't have?'
Old Harold smiled happily and replied, 'Parkinson's.'
