Are Webcam Modeling Sites Scams?

Are Web Cam Modeling Sites Scams

The internet is a scary thing. Especially when you are told how much money you can make on it in exchange for your personal information. Most people who are interested in modeling because of the money you can make are easily scared off when they actually go to register. The registration process is a scary one. A qualified, professional site will require you to submit your information. This generally includes a valid ID.

With all the scams on the internet, the last thing any one wants to do is submit their personal information to a site that deals with adult content. Webcam modeling sites are scary to begin with, but the the added thought of giving up your information makes it very nerve wracking, especially when you start actually filling out the forms.

The reason this information is needed is because a legitimate business needs proof that you are of legal age to perform on a webcam site. The legal age is 18. If a webcam modeling company does not ask for this information, and does not require you to submit this information, then be wary. It is most likely a scam. If the company does require this information, then you are dealing with a company that protects themselves, and in turn will protect you.

When a company that is trusted does take your information, it does so for two reasons. As mentioned above, to prove your age, and secondly for tax purposes. Any US based business issues a 1099 at the end of the year. Likewise, any properly run trusted business will have you fill out a W-2. If you do not have this form from the company you are signing up for it is most likely a scam.
So how do you know what sites are legitimate. Well, luckily I am here to tell you two are: F4F and Internetmodeling. I work on all three and I can tell you after almost a year of working them, they are safe. They are verified, award winning, they keep your private information secure and most important, they pay what they say they will pay, and they pay on time.

But that is an easy answer. And who is to say you trust me anyway. So you can take my experience and turn them into cash, or go search for websites you think are secure. Here is what you will want to look for:
  • Ownership Statement 
  • Verisign Trusted Logo 
  • 18 U.S.C 2257 Record-Keeping Requirements Compliance Statement 
  • Rules & Regulations
  • Request For Verification of Age
You can also do searches on web cam modeling companies in Google. See what other models say. See if you can find information on the sites. There are a handful that are in the business for the long run. Streamate, Cam Girls, Internetmodeling and F4F are the only 4 sites I would whole heartedly trust if you are looking to be a web cam model. You might find a million other sites out there that offer more money or make bigger promises, but ask yourself, are they just saying that to get something from me?


Internet fraud is a big deal. With today's economy it is so easy to believe things you want to. We are hopeful by nature. It's easier to dream big then it is to give up. You should dream big, but you should be careful. You should be wary, but at the same time be aware that opportunity is out there. You need to find what's real and take advantage of it. This is a billion dollar industry. Why can't you take home your chunk of it? Now that you know how to find what is real and what is a scam, there is no reason to be afraid to sign up. Stop waiting and start earning.
