Does paying with a gift card get you suspended?
[QUOTE=HugeDell;5436403]All seniors on seeking please advise, I tried to register with a visa gift card and it automatically blocked my account.
What am I risking if I pay with my regular card? Is it theft reasons I should not give out info or LEO (site isn't protected) kind of reason?
I am single no wife no kids, I am not really hiding from anyone, I need to be on there as it's life and death situation, I am very depressed and I think a good GFE BBFS and cip would get me back on track. You guys have posted at least 10-15 users who were verified so I think I have the best chance of getting that on seeking.
Thank you for the help.[/QUOTE]My account was also suspended yesterday and I originally thought the payment was processed and then I was suspended, but after checking my balance I see the charge never went through. It's still frustrating, but at least I don't feel like I was robbed. I've been paying with a virtual Visa from [URL]giftcards.com[/URL] for a couple of years now and never had an issue. Has anyone else had their account suspended after paying with a virtual gift card? Also, has anyone renewed in the last couple of weeks with a gift card and if so can you please tell me what brand and where it came from. The verbiage on the notice makes it seem like this is a timed suspension so I'm hoping it will be lifted, but I'll still be faced with having to pay.
To answer this question about the risk of using a real credit card. Take a look at some of the articles regarding the Ashley Madison hack several years ago. Lots of people had their identities released for the world to see and it cost people their jobs, friends, and marriages. If you aren't worried about blowback from the world knowing then go for it.
Dude. You're begging for trouble
[QUOTE=BuckHead71;5436749]I joined SA hoping to find an ongoing sexual relationship with some sort of connection. Not just pay, pump and go. Which seems to be what most are on there for. Both men and women. I have met about 8 so far. 5 I turned down, 2 I did the pump and go, and one that turned me down. That one in my opinion was the best as far as looks and personality. Or maybe we just want what we can't get. I have somewhat followed her social media accounts and found out she was helping a friend with a bar. I went into the bar but was wearing a hat and glasses, she did not recognize me at all and was super friendly. I plan on returning to the bar tomorrow night when she's working. I am wondering should I just continue to be regular bar patron, do you think after a while I could throw her an offer? Should I mention I met her before on SA, or maybe say I saw her profile on SA? I don't even know if her profile is still up on essay or not because she blocked me. Morgan242 or morganna242.[/QUOTE]I'd say she was smart to turn you down, her spidey senses were on point. You're just one phone call away from spending time behind bars, you seriously need to take a step back. I'm sure someone else here has seen her and has her contact info, it won't be long until they report your behavior to her, and she deals with you in whatever way she sees fit.
Getting Suspended from SA
I have no way of proving this. But this is my theory. SA is walking on a tight rope to stay in business due to recent legislations regarding prostitution. While they don't want to take a big hit to their income, they want to have some evidence they suspend accounts that don't follow their rules. I use my own credit card (has been using the same card) and my real name is associated (I know the risk, but I am willing to take it). They may suspend people at random, but may check their payment history before suspending. They may not go hard on regular customers. I don't know when you use gift cards if you use the same name over and over or use different names. Regardless they may have a way to figure out the origin of the card. So, they would rather suspend an infrequent member than a routinely paying guy. The issue what I hear is if you get permanently banned (for whatever the reason) getting back is not easy. I have been on the site for about 4 years and renew monthly. Typically I have a week or two gap between but keep the membership going all the time. I message hundreds of girls a month. While I am being careful, I get so many messages about PPM, and explicit talk. I immediately take them offline, but I feel they may so soft on members like me. Once I got a warning about potential "commercial activity", I think due to the volume of the same message I have been sending out. But, didn't get suspended. Just my theory. Anyway, I wouldn't be surprised if they suspend me tomorrow. Just it could be the luck.
Stay Safe.
