When someone was trying to scam me before I spoke to adult work and they said not our problem, if we close there account they will only open another so what’s the point
Wow, if only banks took that attitude.
Seriously, AW don't care, so long as they're getting their fees coming in from SPs. Why add cost to lose revenue?
Put yourself in their shoes.
It would be a doddle for them to stop half of the fake profiles being registered en-masse from the same computer too.
But why would you if it cost you to cut your income stream? It's not like they've got a reputation to uphold in the eyes of the hypocritical general public, and there is no statutory obligation to do so.
You just have to accept it, and share information here about scammers, it's the best way to tackle it.
In terms of the scam, it's non-declarable, untraceable income that is easily shifted across borders or converted into goods without trace of its source. Grey market economy.
Or as we used to call it, money laundering.
