Twitter went nuts earlier this week with a revelation that a new site on the scene 'Virtual Love Affair' is some kind of password fishing scam:
"ATTN LADIES .. if u signed up to be a part of virtual love affair please read my blog about there security issues your content is NOT safe"
Seemed like a really weird reason to set up a site, but it's 2011, so who knows? It did inspire me to learn more about VLA, which I was initially not that interested in because of their relentless spamming of dozens of sites. Two things leaped out at me which set up all kinds of red flags:
1. If you break a rule at VLA, they take your money. This is a huge scam alert! Why should they settle for a small percentage of your cash when they can accuse you of some BS violation and swipe your money. AVOID. Red flag! Any site that has in its terms of service that they can basically rob you is an obvious SCAM!
2. All of their payments are by eWallet, virtual Visa type things. Another huge red flag for one simple reason: these companies are NOTORIOUSLY fly by night and the odds of one of them disappearing with your money are better than you think. There is only one eWallet company that anyone would or SHOULD trust - PayPal and PayPal doesn't allow anything adult. Why? Because companies in the adult market can be hella SHADY (see point number one above.)
Oursourcing payments to eWallet companies is a screw for us girls as well. How bad? Most of them charge you AT LEAST 5% just to get your money! Then another $5 or $9 ON TOP OF THAT. Imagine paying 5% of your cash just to get it when suddenly one day your card stops working and your balance disappears. Think it can't happen? Try Googling "Epassporte" and look at the other suggestions: "Epassporte Scam", "Epassporte Rip Off", "Epassporte Shut Down".
Bottom line on Virtual Love Affair, shady as hell, stay away.
Hey I found a solution for all of it...lol
