I was made aware of RipoffReport by someone who wrote to Adult Industry News at AINews.com. Erotict was our client for a month (they bought paid ad space) and as a courtesy I joined for 6 months to test it out. I became suspicous when every email I received was genaric in nature and didn't reflect any information from the last email I sent, and the only thing anyone wanted to do was chat.

I also found pictures of porn stars I personally know with different names - a dead giveaway that the accounts were fraudulent. My determination is that since I don't like being jacked around by people who are not honest, weather it's the company or the members, I'm just not going to join up again. To be fair I should state I receive an occasional small affiliate check from them. The checks have never bounced.

#2UPDATE EX-employee responds

I don't mean to defend this service as I do not have enough experience with it to do so. But, I can tell you that I am continually shocked and frustrated by people's inability to read disclaimers, terms of service, and/or acceptable use policies before registering for a site's service.

Eroticy, despite any complaints that people have for their service, clearly states that profiles on their site may be used by employees and that interaction on their site is for entertainment purposes only. Although I have seen many online services bury disclaimers like this in the fine print, Eroticy is blatant in their disclosure by having this information on the disclaimer which you have to agree to in order to enter their site and in their terms of service and acceptable use policy of which a link is available on seemingly every page of their site!

In short, I would exercise some minimum caution before making any online purchases which would include 1) Reading the site's terms of service, acceptable use policy, and any disclaimers or disclosures 2) Post a request for or search for references from others who may have used the service in the past and 3) make sure they have adequate contact information available before making a purchase.

There is a Latin saying known as caveat emptor which means let the buyer beware. The best defense against not being happy with a purchase is to educate yourself on what you're purchasing and who you're purchasing it from.
