Careful using AMEX prepaid card. Final
[QUOTE=HarryMcHardon;7510249]Turns out this cost SA $50 for bank processing fee so I thought they would have an incentive to settle this. I am not out anything because I got my money back on my card. But did lose access to my SA account. SA sent me a payment link to recover, but couldn't get a gift card to work. Looks like it may only take valid registered CCs. NFW. New account with face scan? NFW. Luckily I've slowed down dramatically last few years so not the end of the world for me, but looks like I'm moving on to an alternate site. Plus not missing as much as I would have been 5 years ago. Still, the site worked reasonably well for me, for all its faults.[/QUOTE]I was finally able to rescue my account by calling SA customer service and having them run the same AMEX gift card that was declined online. I did have to pay the extra $50 bank processing fee from the clawback, but it was well worth rescuing a seasoned account. And SA honored the old $130 subscription fee to boot, since they suspended my account when I paid the old fee prior to price increase. For all the bad stories about SA, their CS and pmt processors, this was a very reasonable outcome So the net net here is AMEX gift cards still work, and what caused my account to be suspended was something in the Google play algorithm that clawed back my payment from SA. SA, their payment processor, and AMEX weren't the bad guys here. My conclusion is if you pay via Google play, better use the SA android app, early and often. My mistake was I paid via GP and then exclusively used SA on my PC.

Any intel on this girl right here?
Anyone met or had any information on her?
Public Service Announcement
Fellas,
Warning. Watch out! I was texting someone from SA using my free text app. Then after some discussions of what I expected, I get screenshots of my own personal info and a demand that I give $9,500 immediately to a CashApp account. I said no and will be reporting to authorities. Person's profile name was Dania but likely changes. Be careful. How that person got my info is beyond me. *shrug*.
I cannot post link as I was blocked on site immediately. I made a report to SA but who knows if they can do something.
This one was sophisticated
I get that. I use photos that are not posted anywhere else. I use a text app. And I do not give any real info. Fake name, fake occupation, even fake location. But they still found me. Worse yet, they did actually follow through and try to contact my family when I told them to pound sand. So be careful gents.
[QUOTE=PauFord;7518154]Blackmail scams have bee around as long as SA has. Even with a burner # they somehow manage to reverse engineer your identity sometimes, usually with reverse image searching. Ignore as you did and they'll go away.
Reminds me of several years ago a scam running rampant on SA. Scammer SB account (s) would chat with you, get as much of your details as possible, download all your pics, phone / email, etc Then you get a text saying you've been added to the sex predator watchlist with a link to a web site. There's a profile page of you, has your name, location, all your details and pics, etc and describes how you were trying to bang kids. Google your name and / or # and it was one of the first hits that would come back.
Dudes were freaking the fuck out. They advertised that if you would contact a specific lawyer for $10 k could get your stuff removed from the site. From what I heard a lot of guys paid the money because they just couldn't have that peedo site be what comes up when you google their name. Went on for several months or so before SA finally did something about it. They got the site taken down via legal action. (fwiw. Scammers hosted all the pics from their site on Imgr. Filed an individual copyright claim with Imgr who in turn immediately removed my pics from their servers. Got a new burner # and all was fine and did't have to wait for SA's lawyers to act).
Stay safe out there.[/QUOTE]
