There is no way to tell if someone is tipping fraudulently, but there are things you can look for to protect yourself. These will help keep it to a minimum and benefit your fellow broadcasters.
New Members
You can see when someone became a member of CAM4 by checking their profile. Brand new users tipping large amounts may be an indicator of fraud.
Please keep in mind that not all new members are fraudulent. Someone with a more extended history at CAM4 tends to be safer, but a member can contact their bank and say they did not make the purchases (chargeback).
Tipping Behavior
There are things you can look for during your show that should be a red flag as possible fraud. Here are a few:
- If you are chatting while clothed (not performing) and someone tips you – large amounts and they are not a regular.
- Someone is tipping you more than requested.
- Someone tips without chatting or making a request – especially if “requests” are one of your goals.
- Someone tips and then immediately leaves the room.
Most tippers, especially new ones, will tip in small numbers to see if a broadcaster will follow through with goals or requests.
Rule of thumb: someone spending money wildly may not be spending their own.
Track Your Fraud
If you have repeat fraud from a particular country, it may be time to add that country to your block list.
What Do I Do If I Suspect Fraud?
If you ever feel someone is fraudulent and wish to refuse their tip, please notify us at fraud@cam4support.com, and we will take care of that for you.
Please remember that all tipped tokens are purchased through one of our processors. Voids are tokens purchased with a stolen credit card or when the tipper contacted their bank, stating they did not make the purchase.
There is no such thing as ‘fake tokens.’ Token adders are exe files designed to steal your login and compromise your account, and they should never be clicked on. If you find a link to a token adder, please report it to us at technical@cam4support.com so we can have it removed.
