I've noticed this as well. I keep seeing lots of the same fake accounts on AW, which I report, only to see them again. Sometimes with the same pictures of famous pornstars! I think AW is allowing scammers to create accounts as they still take income from them. However, this is soiling AW's reputation, so it is a really, really stupid business plan.
AW got shitty with me and banned my account for continually reporting fake reports to them as it wasn't within "
the spirit of the club" and claimed I was only using the account for reporting fake accounts and not seeking services with it.
I had to remind them I wasn't seeking services because there is currently a global pandemic at large. Something which their own website warns about.
The thing with AW is they have selective hearing, and will only respond to questions asked if it doesn't involve fake accounts.
I eventually got my account back, which has 30 positive ratings on it. That should have told them I had been using the account for seeking services, but AW tend to have selective vision as well.
I then created an account purely to report fake profiles with, using a separate browser. AW removed it, so I created another, etc. They eventually did something to stop me creating new accounts altogether. I could still create one, but within 5 minutes it was disabled, no matter what time of the day of night it was created.
So, AW have the technology to block repeat accounts, but will only use it on people trying to help them and not the scammers who keep creating the same fake accounts over and over again. This proves without doubt AW are only interested in making money from these fake accounts and don't give a shit about the frequency in which they're created. A couple of us have had previous discussions for quite a while now saying that it's highly likely AW themselves are creating some of the fake accounts.
I am surprised no one has bothered to investigate their shenanigans. AW has "fraudulent activity" written all over it.
I now report fake accounts via email to
[email protected]. But guess what, they're getting shitty with me doing that now.
In short, I am a real pain in the ass for them, and I will continue being one for the foreseeable future.
