BEWARE of Scam Studio Groups on AW!

Like I said, We all have our own point of view

for "Bottom line is, if you are not happy with a service then leave"

How can you leave when you dont know its a service your using instead of the original site? and how can you be unhappy when you dont know the truth?

Why would you need to know the truth? You look around the internet and find other web cam sites, you compare what they are paying to what you are being paid and make your choice. I would suggest that people should do this before signing up to a group taking a job, but if they can not be bothered then why are we arguing on their behalf? The great thing about the internet is that it really is so easy to find information and how to do things.

If somebody needs help or has a problem we are here to help them, I do not condone bad practice, abusing / threatening girls or with holding payment. I also do not think it right for groups to hold on to girls profiles that they have created to promote you once you have left or the girl not being the one in the profile, for escort or web cam bookings

In business you often buy from a supplier because you cannot find the original source and pay over the odds, we have been there and done that, but were happy with what we were doing until we could source the items direct.

We have also done the same when employing people we need to do a job, paid over the odds because we need the job done sooner than later, at no time did we ever consider it a scam, we were happy with what we wanted. After, we found cheaper labour to do the same job equally as good.

This happens all the time and is not a scam.

Twenty years ago we used to pack items for a firm at home, we used to collect the stock and take it back packed. After a while we started to employ other people to do the job, we collected the items, delivered it to their door and collected it from them when the job was finished. They would have made more money if they had gone direct to the company that paid us, but they did not know who to contact or where to go. Sounds like a big scam to me....

In the late 90's we employed up to 50 local girls to work on chat lines, we got paid by the company at the end of each month, we paid them weekly. They had a number to call and and a security number to log in, did we pay them what they could have earned by going direct, no, so is that another scam? After all, they did not know anything about the company that paid us or who ran the chat lines.

In both the above, the people were treated fairly and happy with the situation, would they have been happier earning more money? Yes, who would not be, but they were happy to be earning and did not know how to go about finding the work direct and like daily pay, we paid them sooner than they would get paid by the company.

Half a loaf is better than no loaf.

eg i scratch your scratch card and say, youve won £10 when you really won £20, or if your brother collects your paperboy earnings and gives you £10 when you were actually paid £12.

I really can not see the comparison and think we all know the answer to that question

PS I think we will just have to agree to disagree.

You clearly don't know the damage these groups do if you feel you can compare them to any other legitimate "service". Do you know how exploitive this business is ALREADY???? Why do you WANT these girls to give up their money and control?

There is no disagreement here.. simply you standing up for a cause which is unjustifiable in every way possible. I think you must run such a group yourself to defend them so much. Jeez with friends like you who needs enemies!

I actually just came on here to run a search for the name of yet ANOTHER scam group that just popped up. It's about time AW pulled their finger out over this. It is prolific!

People/children might be "happy" to get the pennies they do for working long hours in poor conditions but it is still exploitation.

This is not a bargaining between 2 equal parties...it is not a normal business situation, the group managers are preying on the desperate and those who obviously haven't found the webcam sites by themselves are therefore ignorant of what is out there.

Deliberately taking advantage of girl's ignorance of the adult industry and pay them less than they would earn otherwise is exploitation. Exploitation is not a "good" thing regardless of how happy the girls may be.

These groups have no interest in the girls, only in making money for themselves, they misrepresent what they do/will do, and this makes it a scam...fraudulent misrepresentation is a crime. They take money and do nothing or very little for it in return.
