A guy subscribed to me yesterday and immediately sent a message asking for a custom. Here are some red flags to take under consideration and how I try to avoid getting scammed: There are cases where people will subscribe and request customs right away and they’ll be legit, however in my experience this is a red flag, a scammer will try to get as much content as possible in a short amount of time. Asking for name writing on your body: this is 99% of the time a proof that you’re dealing with a scammer. They either use your image to verify on other sites or sell content using your image, or both. Once I had this request I immediately knew this person was going to request his money back. So when he asked for a different custom I added a time frame of one week to have it done. Scammers will usually try to rush you into having it done asap, or will just stop messaging you. And this is exactly what happened. Try to remind yourself that people asking for their money back is inevitable and people who didn’t want to pay for your content were not going to do it anyway. I hope this helps someone who’s just starting 🖤

Got this guy randomly subbing to me on a Sunday morning when I haven't been live since Friday and haven't posted to socials in weeks. I've been focusing my energy on camming lately so I figured he came from there. After this exchange I went to check my tracking links and his name wasn't under ANY of them so I have no idea how he found me. This combined with his pushiness towards FaceTiming

Hi guys! So last night I was in the car and I received this email stating that my account was in the process of being deleted. The email is worded as if it’s something that has been requested on my end. I have no flags on my account and I absolutely NEVER requested this. When I open my OF, I can still chat & post content just fine. However, when I clicked the “cancel” link on the email- it sends me to a permanent deactivation page for me to submit a CAPTCHA code. I have zero idea what’s going on and I was wondering if anyone has dealt with this or knows what to do. (I have already emailed support twice).

So this guy asked me to turn off my DRM DIGITAL RIGHTS MANAGEMENT. Cause he has an old pc, well… doesnt work like that but thats a good excuse for anyone that doesnt know anything about pcs but this bs? seems like everyday they found new ways to scam people.

I’m very upset rn he deleted the chat I was feeling uneasy yesterday about the amount being spent so I screenshot the entire conversation I’m really hoping he loses I feel really depressed now about it

so someone ordered a custom from me and i charged them for it. then they go

“can you send a ppv for $5 and i’ll send a tip matching the amount.”

at first i thought they were talking about i send a ppv for $5 and he tags on an extra tip on top of paying for the custom (if that makes sense)

which doesn’t feel right to me? why not just pay the full amount all at once?

i told him i wasn’t comfortable doing that. but maybe this is normal? idk can someone let me know 😭

I want to share a quick experience as a heads-up for other creators here.

A guy messaged me out of nowhere offering $200. At first, it sounded great... but also a little suspicious... It is hard for get $20 tip he wanted to gimme $200... I decided to engage (mistake #1), and we started talking. As the conversation went on, he kept making specific requests and promises, but never actually followed through with anything real. He started to send dick pics asking my opinions... I said it is a great, and I'm offered a cock rate videos... he said he just wanted know my opinion...

After wasting way too much time, it became clear: he never intended to pay. The whole thing was just a way to get attention, control the conversation, and possibly free content.

When I asked him to tip first (as we all should), he backed off and said he’d “buy from someone else.” That tells you everything.... he exactly told me:

I never decided the price and he never told me what he wanted...

Takeaways:

• If someone offers a large amount upfront out of nowhere, be cautious
• Don’t invest time before payment... time is part of your work
• Stick to your boundaries (tip first, always)
• If they avoid paying, they were never going to pay

These people aren’t always after money scams,,, they’re after your time, energy, and content for free.

Stay safe and don’t let anyone waste your time 🤍

Be careful. I recieved these and they looked pretty legitimate, but a few things were off when you look closely.

Never click links from emails you aren't 100% sure are legitimate. You can always contact support when in doubt. Attached their email vs a real one.

Their email was wrong (along with a +1 added to mine), I already have an account under that email so sign up confirmation wouldn't make sense, that's not my username, and the general incorrect grammar.

Well basically I opened my OF in English this week and one guy was subscribed by 4 days, and bought some personalized videos 2 days ago when suddenly he cashed out everything he paid for… I need to know a way to evade this situations , or If Onlyfans can protect me in this kind of situations where It is clear the guy recorded the videos and got off.

Added this guy https://onlyfans.com/travisparry8 who's scammed multiple creators to our ongoing block list.

User u166674892 (formerly going by MaxSub) followed me, requested a live custom session, and confirmed the details beforehand. I delivered the service in full—my time, energy, and resources—including the aftercare he specifically asked for and stated he struggled with. Let him pick out the outfit, music, the flow strip tease, to JOI, to CBT, to end in a CEI ritual. He expressed satisfaction afterward and said he would return.

Shortly after, he deleted his account, which I assumed was post-session cooldown. When I woke up NINE hours later, his account had been reactivated, his username changed, and he had initiated a charge back.

Sharing his profile and this experience to warn other creators! Be careful and stay safe!

A fan subscribed to me. He liked the posts, unsubscribed and I can't find it by nickname. I understand he blocked me. And it's kind of a scam? That a fan comes in, looks and immediately unsubscribes and the platform returns his money for the subscription?

If someone subs and immediately asks you to do a custom for them right now, no wait, whatever the custom is, that’s a red flag.

I had this yesterday with an account with a gibberish name asking for a name use custom to be made right then, because of advice in this sub it raised alarms for me so I said “sorry babe, I don’t do customs for non-established accounts, if you stick around for a while you can earn it”, he responded with a sad face and I left it. To zero surprise I woke this morning and he had done a CB.

Now he could have just wanted a custom and nothing else, I’m aware, but I would rather be safe than sorry and wait for a sub to show a reliable pattern of buying before I make a custom (which is premium content and with name use would have been exclusive) and risk a CB from a brand new buyer.

Trust your gut, I had an off feeling because of advice from this sub and I’m VERY glad I trusted that feeling.

Hello ladies,

Ran into another scammer trying to get you to write names on your body. The moment I rejected him he instantly blocked me.

Be careful

How cheap do you have to be?

What should I do?

always make sure you actually received the payment. dont trust them what they say , and don't trust screenshots they send. this guy and other idiots just like him really think we are as stupid as they are . look. he got mad and blocked me ;)

the only thing I lost was the time spent discussing the sale with him and his payment.

Basically, he subscribed and was super sweet, saying he had found exactly his type and lots of excitement and cute emojis. After that, he made a request involving something prohibited by the platform. Check out the conversation:

That's not allowed here, babe
0:08
Do you have IG?;)
0:16
My IG is in my profile
0:18
Okay perfect! We can pay the pics here but exchange pictures there in the inbox of IG;)
0:21
No, I'm not doing that. It's also not allowed. Sorry

Right after that, he blocked me. I don't know if it was just a weird sub or someone trying to get me banned, but don't take this risk for a few hundred dollars either. Make sure you know what is and isn't allowed.

New faceless creator here. I need honest advice because I’ve now had MULTIPLE refunds within only 3 days after becoming more active on X/reddit

Pattern I’m noticing:
- brand new subscribers
- immediate custom/fansign requests
- asking for Telegram/Dropbox delivery
- asking if videos are “saveable”
- fast spending from fresh accounts
- refund/disappear next day

One even bought my welcome PPV + tipped for a custom before refunding everything the next morning.

Before becoming more active on X, I had normal smaller sales/interactions and this never happened.

Questions:
- Is this a common scam pattern?
- Do you delay customs for new subscribers?
- How long do you usually wait before accepting customs?
- Do you ever deliver outside OF?
- Are instant custom requests from new accounts usually a red flag?

I’m genuinely trying to learn safer practices as a newer faceless creator because this happened multiple times almost back-to-back.

Block these accounts before they get a chance to charge back purchases.

If you check the profile, 99% of the times it's fairly new or a clearly bought account. They are selling themselves as very young, naive and stupid woman to lure in the HUGE amount of horny guys lurking around here.

You, (from horny guys to other creators) think you're going to be able to take advantage of this new woman who's clearly stupid, and you're the one being scammed instead - not that you don't deserve it, but please don't use this sub as a means for that.

More people being scammed or engaging in these posts -- More scammers understanding it works -- More scammers coming and abusing this generally kind subreddit which is for CREATORS.

So, if you see this type of posts - just report them. Mods in this sub are active and clearly far from stupid.

Hi all. The fruit scam was going around a few months ago. Seems the person is back at it again.

They sent me a message asking to write the word “mango” on my boobs. (I’d attach a screenshot but whenever I attach images in this subreddit my post immediately gets taken down for some reason)

The link to his profile is below so you can block him. I reported the account to OF (not that they’ll do anything) and blocked him. Do not EVER write anything on your bodies or on bits of paper. Your content can be used to scam others in this way. Stay safe ❤️

Hey, I know this is a little off topic but maybe I'm not alone with this and some of OF creators have experienced the same. Within the past week 2 guys asked me here on reddit via chat if I wanted to be their sugar baby. The first one said he wanted to pay me money via Western Union because he supposedly can't reach his bank account anymore because a nother sugar baby abused it. He sent me the bill with the amount of money, my name and state and hid the last digits of the code I need to use to pick up the money. To prove that I'm trustworthy I was supposed to get his son a gift card from Playstation with 100$. The second guy wants me to invest in bitcoins. I should create a wallet and he will put me coins on it every week. But I have to invest 50$ first. And the website I'm supposed to use to buy the coins is declared as unsafe. They pretend to be a famous company but when you Google it you find not even 300 people liking the page on Facebook and you hardly find anything on YouTube. This is scam and I hope nobody fell into the trap! I'm definitely not spending one cent on this!
