Is it me - or do more and more females sign up for paysites?
 

I'm getting a interesting pattern from the last 8 months to our male Pay site
More and more females sign up for it, judging by the user-name's...

... or is it the husbands that use their wife's credit card and name?

.. and why Gay/male convert so much better than female/straight?
There should be enough Gay pay sites out there by now, so it cant be the lack of pay sites

I find that odd. I wonder if its a kid using his moms card sometimes

stolen cards

nope - NATS and paysom would have spotted that right away

I have several confirmed female members, but they're mostly lesbian, not bi. There are a few couples who sign up with the woman's card, too.

But the female market is sooo hard to tap into...

nice stats 1:318.

Is that overall over what period of time?

no kidding :1orglaugh .. where do you buy advert space.. on www.oprah.com?

Thanks - its the last 7 days

Depends if Minny Mouse is female :)

I admire your optimism, but as someone who has done 8 figures through paycom, i can tell you that they wont spot shit. Additionally, they won't tell you what they do, claiming its proprietary information.

I ban all womans names for a reason and i do not rely on the credit card authorization as proof of a valid card... because its not. I understand that some sites might have legitimate female users, but for my sites, they are 99% fraud everytime. It's not worth the risk and besides, you will see in 60 days if they are legit or not and devise some means to manage the risk. I am not sure what NATS is supposed to find. As far as I know, they have nothing to do with authorizing a credit card.

Wonder if there's a package deal with drphil.com ;)

uuhhmm.. I think his son would draw some female members if he stripped at the site www.myhusband.com - but chanses are slim :1orglaugh

I know a few girls who love the softcore porn movies but most can't really get into normal porn since it was made to appeal to men

its a site that focus on naked straight males, so I imagine 95% are either gay or female.. it would be pretty bad if I banned every female member.

But I sure understand your point of view

Weather or not NATS or paycom deals with the fake sign-ups, I cant comment on it. There don't seem to be any problem with our sites, but I don't know what they do in the other end toward the end-user/surfer

haha very true! Maybe he would for the right price... :)

i dont mean that they deal with fake signups, i mean that stolen cards get past them. some kid can easily grab a card number from a forum for stolen cc #'s and join a site with it. he can get caught by their system sometimes for example, because they can verify in real time how many times that card was used that day, with what frequency and so on, so they would know if a stolen card was posted and it was suddenly used 5 times in 20 seconds. but its not always fullproof.

in our case for example with live video chat, we have learned from experience that a womans name on a card means 99% chance of it being a stolen card, mothers card, wifes card etc etc and will ultimately be charged back for us. live chat also has much higher transaction volumes per card/user so we have that added vulnerability that a pay site does not.

anyway, i wish you luck. with epoch, you will know in 60 days if they are valid or not as the chargebacks are processed and posted to your stats. but i would be weary. we had a huge rush of stolen cards with womans names in the last few months - most of them mastercard. mastercard is cracking down and starting to enforce their 1% threshhold since june, so be careful which is a complete nightmare unless you have a very high transaction volume.

I'm tempted to cancel the account every time i see a female name sign up --- 99% of them end in refunds/cbs

Our site is very extreme, and you wouldn't think ladies would like that sort of stuff, but we get maybe 3% of our members being ladies. I'd say a lot of them are using stolen cards..

We even had one mother last month email me asking to cancel a set of usernames as her 14 year old son had used her card to join our site so it does happen..

guess we will know more in 2 months then ;-)

Damn... thats no good

i had a guy a couple months ago using that same line of bullshit - "dear sir, i came home today and was shocked to see that my 14 yr old son had joined your site blah blah blah... please refund my card immediately.... blah blah blah". surfers are not the idiots they were in 97. ;)
