Email I received concerning Eroticy.com

I received this email through the main email address at http://www.webmastervault.com

What do you think?


Dear Mr. President


This letter is to inform you of a company you may want to check out from the Internet, a porn chat site that utilizes fake members to lure unsuspecting customers into paying monthly fees. This site uses porn stars, and fake accounts in their chat room, banning those that dare challenge the authenticity of the member.

Eroticy.com, (aka Webcapades), has run this operation for several years, but lately, many members have written my site http://hometown.aol.com/steffysplace/index.html, which has many links to complaints filed against this company.

In letters written directly to Lisa of Eroticy, none have rendered a response.

Eroticy uses these fake members, (one is the dearly departed Shauna Grant), and acts as though they are the member themselves, making unsuspecting men unknowingly pay for something that is bogus.

While in chat, words such as fake, paid, and several others are not permitted and instantly filtered to reflect what Eroticy wants to be written. The Chat master, CM as known in the room, bans people at will, usually right after the monthly fee has been debited from one?s credit card or bank account. The CM also PM?s women, (I am one), and states that her account will be banned unless nude pictures are posted on her account. It was shortly after this that my account of almost 2 years was banned when I refused to post such pictures.

If one of the members dares to ask about the realism of a member, that questioning party is abruptly banned for life.

Eroticy also illegally uses members pictures on 2 of their other sites, even though the member is unaware of their picture being posted on either site.

http://www.YourDatingCenter.com
http://www.DateableOrNot.com
http://www.OnlinePersonalsGuide.com

Are all Eroticy owned, and have posted pictures from members that have no clue their picture even exists on any of these sites.

I have also received letters from Porn Industry affiliates that have written to my site, and agree with everything I state on my web site.

I am sending this letter to every Eroticy sponsor, congress, every porn site that I can attain through my computer, the Better Business Bureau, all search engines, as well as posting it onto my web site.

If you feel this is the proper way to run a site that children can access by simply answering NO to the question, ARE YOU 18 YEARS OR OLDER, then the Internet industry needs to form new laws to protect our children and avoid unsuspecting consumers from being purposely ripped off.

Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter.

Sincerely,

SoftandSteffy

I don't know about that particular site but those practices are typical among many if not most dating sites. Pretty easy to set up a script to email/lure members using fake profiles. Sign up (as a free member) to a few dating sites and you'll recieve letters from all kinds of attractive women wanting you (in fact 100% of them will likely be young and attractive).

Aside from the big names like match, aff (who have their own problems of profiles created by Real members that use fake photos to increase their chances of meeting people - something that's almost impossible to control), most sites simply don't have the breadth in advertising to obtain many real members in enough numbers to get more members legitimately.

It's no different than the old practice in the adult industry where there were big promises of specific content in a members area and when the members joins there is little or no content. Luckily those days are over as most company's now appear to be throwing as much content as they can at their members.

Buyer beware I guess.

I too have my doubts about eroticy. A quick search through google does pick up a number of complaints.

It's to bad really. Because, as far as extra content goes... stories, videos, and leased streams...they have a good offering. In fact, better then most of the other dating sites.

But, then again, they are pushing themselves as a dating site. So, if they fall short in that arena, the rest of the content really doesn't matter.

Sorry I was out of town and missed this post

For the record the author of that letter was banned for creating multiple fake profiles with porn start pics on them.

Just like any other dating site on the web, we have problems with users posting pics of better looking people, especially since our site is so visual. What we have done to rectify this is ad a validation feature where members can send customer service a copy of their state issued photo ID or passport for our int'l members, etc, and get a green check stating that this is a fair and accurate depiction of the member. Few services offer this to their members for free.

Thanks for not tearing me up while I was out of town

first off, who is mr. president? and if you referring to the president of the US why would he care?

second, when someone is going to write a letter they want taken as professional, don't you think it would be a good idea to check grammar?

Dear Mr. President i live in the hood
Where people do bad
But say its all good
And my homies slanging and robbing
Caught a misdameanor felonies
We cant survive it
And three strikes niggas out it
But we dont give a f**k cause niggas down here bout it bout it
One nation in god we trust
But then you say Saddam ain't go'n f**k with us
(ugghhhhh)
Now you see how we feel
Niggas set trip, ride and gang bang
Thats how they get killed
You run from the press
We run from killers and jackers
And wear a bullet proof vest
Some say the president like weed and hoes
Down here it's young niggas riding six with o's, got
Terrorist wantin to blow you away,
I got niggas in the ghetto wantin to take my place
You got secret service
Roamin the streets
I got a bunch of No Limit niggas ridin with me
