5 mistakes Cam4 models make- Camming tips
Know the risks and take steps to protect your privacy.
1. Chatting it up about current local events
Be careful when chatting. Some local news reports or weather could give away your approximate location.
2. Clicking on random links from your fans
True, it could be harmless. But it could also be there to grab your IP address, which would reveal your approximate location unless you’re using a proxy. If you don’t know what a proxy is or how to use one, just don’t click on any links from your users.
3. The environment
A simple view out the window could reveal your approximate location.
4. Pay Pal
There are so many issues with this one. It’s against the terms of service to use Paypal for adult related services. Asking for Pay Pal in your Cam4 room will get you banned. And in terms of privacy, your fan will see whatever name is on the Paypal account (I would guess it’s yours).
5. Trusting a regular
You might develop a kind of relationship with one or a few of your fans, and at some point you may even feel like you know them well enough to trust them with something like your name. It’s only your first name, right? WRONG.
Have a fake real name ready for moments like that, and remember that you’re engaging your fan in a fantasy and an illusion. Your real name is sacred. NEVER reveal it.
Your phone number, address, place of work, and school are all pieces of information that could also lead to your identity. Keep that stuff to yourself.
