This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

Streamate.com is a classic example of a merchant preforming skimming credit card fraud on their customers, or innocent email accounts who never visited their sites. Skimming - "the theft of credit card information used in an otherwise legitimate transaction. It is typically an "inside job" by a dishonest employee of a legitimate merchant" (Wikipedia). In this case however the merchant as well is not legitimate. The basic summary of the below report is this, a person will message you via Instant message on either yahoo, or hotmail domain to your personal instant messenger screen name in attempts to get you to video talk to you, but they only can be seen on an adult webcam service and they will provide their own card information so that they may talk to you, you stud or sexy gal. A month later you will receive an email from Streamate.com trying to collect on a card discrepancy which they also threaten a legal investigation of you, to charge with credit card fraud and identiy theft. However to avoid this you may send a cashiers check of the amount allotted to their P.O. Box. It really is a elaborate scam, either by A)providing credit card information of their own clients for others to use and bill on, or a stolen credit card and identity to attempt to get a third party to use for the Merchant company "Streamate.com" B) using an accepted credit card information in their system to which to scam the person to simply send in the cashiers check or C) dipping into both jars the owner of the credit card and the person they promotion ally offered it to.

You will not be payed for working with streat mate so don't fall for this scam. They take your bank details but there's no option to cash your credits no phone number to call and I sent 5 emails asking how to do this and they did not reply to my emails. Modern day slavery please don't be scanned also one guy told me he was recording me to put me on the internet!

As an ex-model on this site I must say, I was robbed from this company. They take 57 % off my earnings each time somebody tips or takes me in a private show. They don't show any mercy and give no traffic at all. Worst thing is they put my recordings on porn websites and as I e-mailed them they told me they can't guarantee to take it off. Scam scam scam! Even for models! I even saw a model tear up someday, I assume she was human trafficked anyways but she made 0$ in 3-4 hours.

Cammodels who read this: DON'T sign up for that shady [censored] website! They rob members AND cam models alike! Go on Sites like Chaturbate, Myfreecams, Naked.com...Way better than this crap!

This seems to be very strange website, though I didn't use the private session, nevertheless they billed me for around 35 USD. Every time I try to contact requesting to have a clarity on this, they just end the chat session. Pathetic

Yesterday i have this problem me too.
A cam model she invited me to register here: nameofmodel.cammodels.com
I registered.
In the registration he only asked for an email address and a first and last name.
Then they asked to verify a payment method.
I used paypal.
At this point I was registered.
On the model page there was the ''send gold'' button.
I click and try to send 10 gold.
At this point I thought he would ask me to top up my credit and instead the model apparently receives these 10 gold.
Very strange.
How did I pay for these 10 gold?
The model says that 10 gold is like 3 dollars.
So I try to send 50 gold.
Ok.
At this point I receive an email with:

''Outstanding Balance

Our records show you have an outstanding balance due. Please mail the amount shown to the address listed below.

TOTAL DUE: 83.36

Please send a cashier's check or money order in US funds payable to:
ICF Technology, Inc Ref#...

Personal checks or cash will not be accepted.

Mail to:
SM Payment Processing Center
Ref# [protected]
P.O. Box 2468
Seattle, WA [protected]''

At this point start to chat customer care and i asked to close my account and they closed it
This is a scam?
Can i ignore this robbers?
They don't have my credit card dates, only paypal.

As a customer, I wouldn't recommend this site, because the first thing they ask you for is documents for identity, statements and signatures, otherwise they block the account permanently, are you kidding me, there are tons of websitetes that wish to add a customer

STREAMATE seems a abandoned cam site, and without government, dont have real support to members and full of models deceivers and abusives, as BOMBASTICASSXXX, SARASWEEET, LEIAXO, AUTUMNSASIANDESIRE and other specialized in cheat the members.
CAUTION with this site and mainly with this models, valorise your money.

I have experienced some ugly treatment from the fine folks of streamate and I still don't understand why. If there one thing I'm guilty of, it's spending a lot of money and playing favoritism (who thought pay the girls I like more would such a crime.

I was spending a ton of money for couple months (at least 500 per day), i had to beg and pleade for my limits to go up. Turns out, for every girl that love me (ie the money i was paying them), there was like 20 that hated me. They woudln't look at me or talk to me, but they wouldn't block me. I think they wanted to keep me on the site and pump super coolies into my browser. Both my macs crashed within a week.

This is a truly pathetic company and those that "work" there are even worse. The funnies thing is that they actually talk to you like they're better than you.

One thing I didn't anticipate, but Streamate have somehow turned almost very site i've come across against me. I haven't been welcomed by a site ever, and I actually have the means to help improve these girls lives.

I forget the site, but they claimed to be a rival. so i signed up. i quickly realized it was a lie. so i signed out immediately (after buying an insanely expensive package). i began snooping around and suddenly, the site started to make it rain tips. every girls was getting showered by someone anonymous. i quickly realize i was anonymous and immediate called my bank and told them it was a scam, which is was. they people should be locked up.

I disagree with some of the allegations mentioned...I personally know one of the girls mentioned with the name written in her shirt. I can tell you this girl would never try to scam anyone out of their money, in fact there's no way to get away with what you're accusing her of. If anything many of the men here are scammers and some have a way of illegally recording these women and either using it for their personal use to sell or posting at several porn sites. I have had issues with models and have spoken with customer service 100% of the issues were resolved the majority of issues were technical. I do believe many have had issues with credit card scams...however none are linked with any of the models.

Due to the nature of our site we are subjected to fraudulent activity and as a business, we have the right to regulate or terminate accounts at will, if we deem an account poses a security risk. Your account has been closed for this reason, and thus you will need to choose another website. I got that response about my closed account I was trying to reopen after I disupted a tranacation on my credit card they charged me

They test credit cards to see if they work there was two $2.00 usd charges then they did try to bill the card $218.32 usd under a place called echst.net

Bank blocked the charge for the $218.32 sent me a new card the $2.00 refund from them showed up 4 days later after it posted and the other $2.00 charge came off on it's own

If you see these charges from echst.net call you're issuer and block the card
Asap!

Anybody in the world can file a complaint with the FBI. IC3 cyber crime website works with all law enforcement agencies world wide and will take your complaint information then assign it to the right department of the Bureau. It speeds up the action taken by the FBI if there are more complaints filed against the offending company. You can stop these crooks by making a complaint and they won't be able to scam others. Do nothing and it continues. Here's the link to IC3 http://www.ic3.gov

Absolutely not! Anyone in the world can make a complaint on the FBI system called IC3 which takes all the information for cyber crimes and assigns it to the proper section of the Bureau. The more complaints given to IC3 concerning the same company the faster action is taken against the offending company. Don't think nothing can be done to stop these criminals from getting caught. Your information is proof to the crime and can help catch these crooks from scamming other like yourself. The sooner the better!

All three of you should report this scam to the fbi, immediately! this is called extortion. the authorites have the ablities to find the people behind this fraudand if it is the actual website then they will be criminally charged. don't just report this on an internet complaints forum, do something about it. grow a pair boys! your identities can be protected if you report it.
