Getting paid for whatever...

[SoTxBob]

Hi Ya'll, I ran across a new "sex biz safe" payment portal last night and am wondering if anyone has used it or had any experiences with it. It's called "MySecretPayment " and was supposedly designed for camgirls and other skin related business payments by a porn girl because she was tired of the hassles of getting paid and keeping her info private. I know that is always a concern.
This was listed as an option to pay for a couple of vids that I want. I'm kinda leery about new stuff so I figured I'd toss this in here to see what you girls had to say about it before I dove in. Cheers!

It's a relatively new business. Looks like the twitter and web page were created February of last year. But the sites '2.0 upgrade' that opens up the payment portal to be used by anyone didn't happen until March of this year. So I would classify it as still a new business.

Her site, http://www.bookashley.com/ touts her as the founder of My Secret Payment, CreekWire, My Secret Phone, & Club Sinful.
Googling results:
"CreekWire"
"CreekWire Ashley Sinclair"
"CreekWire adult"
"My Secret Phone"
"My Secret Phone Ashley Sinclair"
"My Secret Phone adult"

No hits for any of these that makes sense in an adult context. So I'm not sure what those are.

"Club Sinful" is her official fan page. So at least that can be proven to exist. No bad reviews could be found about it or bookashley.com btw. I should point out attempting to join her fan site, which she states she founded, does not use this new payment site of hers. It uses CCBill.com to process credit cards. Not sure why her own site doesn't use her own site.


The payment processor site itself also has no bad reviews or complaints that I could find in a basic google search. But since they only upgraded to this payment capability last month it's still rather new.

If you create a fake model account at mysecretpayments you'll see it's a pretty basic section for 'My Account.' Before you can get paid you are required to fill out this form. Which in part mentions the payout:

The split will be 80/20 for the first $1000 & goes down 1% each additional $1000 settling at no less than 15%. Payouts will happen weekly via Direct Deposit, NetSpend Card or check.

It also mentions that Ashley Sinclair is "Fast Action Media & Wireless." Again, no google results for that phrase.

Also in the account section it lists 3 steps that must be done.


Nowhere could I find a link or location for a member to go and actually enter in a credit card to pay for something. So there's no general payment option on the page where a member could just enter in a models name or ID number and send money. Once the model finishes the forms it looks like she can create a 'payment portal' that she can then send a link to people, or put coding on her website, to get payment. Not sure since I didn't do that step.

So, I have no idea. It's way too new. Nothing stands out as shady, but nothing backs it up as reputable either. No opinion. You decide, let us know either way. Your review would probably be the first of its kind on the internet as far as I can tell.

I would like to add one other thing.

Got the idea of looking on MySecretPayment's twitter page for other clients who are using the site. So using this one I looked and nowhere does it say who will actually be processing the credit card. If you fill out fake information it does enough of a check to confirm the card is fake. So it's checking on your card without letting you know any details of who is charging you or how it will appear on your statement. It's totally hidden from sight before your card is charged.

That annoys me.

My Secret Payment was created solely for me and by me when my Paypal acct was shit down around 6 years ago. My payment portal www.BookAshley.com was the first. There was no recruiting site because honestly I had no intentions of sharing it. A few of my friends eventually had their PayPal accounts shut down and over the years I helped them by letting them plug into my site and then eventually making them their very own payment portal. Soon, word of mouth spread and everyone was interested it. With reluctance I opened it to the public. It was the first time an interface was available for info, recruitment, and back office functions. It was put together in a hurry and I didn't really like it. So we started work on v2.0 (it's much better than the original, but still a work in progress. It's fully functional but my friends and porn family deserve the best... So we are still working on it!) The individual payment portals (desperate from MSPs site) are secure, independent, and anonymous. Most of our focus has been there.
To answer some of the concerns... There are now over 100 models using MSP. It's been featured on AVNs website and other articles and interviews have been done where MSP is validated.
I don't use it for my site ClubSinful.com because I'm not the only owner of that site and it has its own llc, partners, staff, and was created and the terms put into place before MSP was offered as an option. Regardless... MSPs niche is not to process subscription site transactions. It is to offer models a low overhead option for payments of personal services such as skype cam, custom videos, snapchat, and other tributable items and services.
As far as Creekwire. Creekwire.com is both an independent site as well as a plug-in for MSP models. You can simple go to www.CreekWire.com for more info on how that works as well as its affiliate program.

As far as nothing standing out as making it reputable.... Except an multiple AVN nominated porn star and webcam girl of the year nominee being its founder? I've been named to most prolific producer of custom videos in the world and estimated to have done more live cam shows independent of a cam site (who take much of your profit) than anyone else in existence. IDK of that is 100% accurate, but if it isn't I'm in the top 5% for sure. If I'm not... I'd like to know who is. And all that has been done using a MSP payment portal.

I hope I didn't come across as brash, but it's something that I've put a lot into recently. Just trying to protect it. I never intended for it to be used by anyone but me... But now all kinds of girls use it to lower their overhead, increase profit, and operate professionally. Any questions please email me ashleySinclair69@yahoo.com

I've heard good things about the platform. If you shoot me an email I can get you in touch with models that use it if you want to bounce any questions off them.

Thanks for clarifying for us here. I must say that 20% (or even 15%) seems very high for payment processing, even given the adult niche. Is this because you are indemnifying against chargebacks?

CCBill charges 10.8%-14.5% plus a annual fee that can go up to $1,000 for high risk transactions. 15-20% is not out of line, at all.
