Short answer: real performers stream live on a known platform, answer what you actually say, and never ask you to pay outside the site. Anything else deserves suspicion.
Check that the stream is really live
A live room reacts: the performer answers questions, mentions usernames and responds to what happens in chat. A looping video that never reacts to anyone is a warning sign.
Watch the conversation, not just the picture
Bots tend to repeat the same lines, ignore questions and push links. A real person picks up on what you wrote, even if the answer is short because the room is busy.
Never pay outside the platform
Gift cards, crypto, payment apps or "verification" links sent in private messages are classic scams. Genuine platforms handle every payment themselves.
Use profile details as a cross-check
- A profile with photos, languages and tags that match the stream is a good sign.
- Ratings and a history of shows suggest an established performer.
- Brand-new profiles aren't automatically fake, but combine that with pressure to pay and walk away.
Report what looks wrong
Every serious platform has a report button. Reporting fake profiles protects other viewers and the real performers whose photos are often stolen.
