Venmo shut my account down.
They have cranky pants.

dont use venmo for reasons that they state are restricred/not allowed.

Venmo is not adult work friendly. They could unfreeze you in 21 days. They could permaban you and send you the funds in 6 months.

Don't ever use your escort name or email on Venmo or Cash App .

Not had any issues ..

[R.M.]

They closed my account because I couldn't find the two small deposits.
I used it for family affairs.
For a long time I was only able to accept money. Not send. Then they just closed it.

In a non-hobby environment I’ve given up on Venmo, too. Too hard (or expensive) to add money to the account. My bank supports Zelle, so I have switched to that platform.

It is my understanding Zelle was started by a consortium of banks, so it makes sense they want to make it easy to integrate into their online banking platforms. I don’t know how well it would work in the hobby; I suspect the US banking industry would not be in favor of anonymous transactions (although at least it doesn’t default to showing other users your payment history as Venmo does).

For the hobby, I’m cash only and plan to stay that way.

Venmo and PayPal same company and both suck and are evil, Zelle works great and little to no bs

The thing with them is that you never have issues... until you do.


CashApp shut me down without reason. My hobby email/name/etc were not on the account. In fact-- the account was dormant for over a year. In September, I requested a new card. Account was still good. Got the card. Went on in November to activate the card and POOF-- account suspended. Had literally not been used in 15 months at that point. Claimed I was using it for gambling.



With Venmo-- I used it to pay a landlord when I lived in the USVI. Never took in any payments on it. Still got shut down.






Today's reminder--- cash is king.

CASH only at time of session is safest
because cash money cannot be traced
the way it can with Venmo or Cash App or Zelle

While that is generally true-- its far easier for a man to pull 100-200 out than it is for a man to pull 600-800 out.



I get the appeal for some ladies. Its just not my personal preference.

I would have agreed with you up until last week when I used my bank’s ATM to get $100. I didn’t set the bill mix, so I was expecting to get 5-20s, or maybe a mix of 20s and 10s.

The machine spit out 2-50s without me asking and I realized, “damn if this inflation thing isn’t for real”.

one can use zelle to transfer money to a provider.
however, the sender needs to know the receiver's RW info if that's how they are registered on zelle. and then the receiver knows the sender's RW info.

so, unless you really trust the other person or dont care what they do with that RW info, i suggest you dont use zelle.

cash or gift card or prepaid debit card.
or sheep and eggs and fresh milk.
