Sometimes a cammodel refuses to show her face even in a private chat session. I encourage you to avoid such a cammodel for several reasons.
1/ You waste your money by interacting with these women
I wonder why we pay for a cammodel who refuses to show her face. After all, a cammodel is a service provider, and one who doesn't show her face should charge half the price of one who does. However, this is often not the case. Typically, cammodels who hide their faces charge as much as those who don't, making it a waste of both money and time to choose a cammodel who doesn't show her face.
2/ when a cammodel hides her face in her public chatroom she will hide it in private too most of the time
In the beginning, when we investigated this problem, we thought that "faceless" cammodels would show their faces in a private chat session. Quite interestingly, it happened in 10% of the cases. Sometimes, I was even fooled by the cammodel who made me believe she was about to show her face. I switched on my webcam and showed my face thinking the cammodel will show her face too. This didn't work at all. In 90% of cases, the said cammodel didn't show her face.

3/ Sometimes, they hide an ugly face
Sometimes, they hide their face because they don't want the guest to see that they have an ugly face. Instead, they use their bodies to lure guests in, only revealing their faces after the guest has spent money in a private chat session.
What to do when a cammodel does not show her face?
The best thing to do is to leave the chatroom as fast as possible. If you already bought tokens/credits in advance, I am sorry but these tokens are lost. Then, when the website allows it, take the time to leave a bad rate for the said cammodel or leave a comment. This will help others.
Advice
Avoid chatrooms where cammodels hide their faces. On some cammodel websites, you'll never find a cammodel with a hidden face. Even if the cammodels on these sites are significantly more expensive, it's worth it because your experience is more important than anything. It's a waste of money to spend time with cammodels who don't show everything. There are plenty of available cammodels on many different websites. Always choose cammodels who show their faces in pictures and in public chatrooms.
Prefer a cammodel website where cammodels must show their face like Livejasmin:
so, we discovered that some cammodels claimed that our video feed froze. We were doubtful about it because we connected to the internet via a 300Mbps super steady fiber optic connection. We think that these cammodels either lied to us or were incredibly happy that we couldn't talk to them. In think that they didn't speak English in reality, and they didn't want us to know. They claim that they can't hear you because they can't understand what you say when you speak English. So, they pretend a technical failure is going on to hide the fact that they can't understand what you say.
Most of the time, you can hear a echo of what you say if the cammodel had speakers on her side. It is funny when the cammodel pretends that she can't hear while you can hear a echo of what you say that occur in her room. Unfortunately, these women are players and when you feel that something is wrong, you must leave the private chatroom as fast as you can.
Anyways, if you are in a private chatroom, a cammodel will benefit from this downtime where she pretends that a communication breakdown is going on because you are charged by the minute. So whatever happens, she will get paid. In this situation, you can really complain to the support team because the cammodel does not ignore you. Nevertheless, if you heard that your voice could be heard in echo in her room, this means that it worked.
Several websites like Streamate or camcontacts have two chat modes: private chat session where you can chat with the cammodel keeping in mind that other people can enter the chat and exclusive chat session where nobody else can enter the chatroom.
The streamate incident
On Streamate, we spotted a cammodel who wanted us to pat for an exclusive chat session to be able to activate the cam2cam. It means that we entered the private regular chat session of Streamate, we activated our cam and she refused the cam2cam request. We didn't know this feature was available on the model side on streamate. Then, she asked us to go in exclusive mode for a cam2cam. The exclusive chat session was outrageously expensive: 6.48 euros per minute. We left the chat. Hopefully, this behaviour is really rare on Streamate. When it happens, leave immediately and leave a keyword on the profile of the lady for everyone to understand that she is greedy.
The camcontact incident:
We face a similar issue on camcontact. We started to chat and the lady asked us to go in one2one (exclusive) mode. However, we just started to talk and this time it was a text chat session. She wanted us to pay 2.40 dollars per minute for a text chat session. No thank you.
Conclusion:
The choice of cammodels on camcontact and streamate is wide. Don't let bad cammodels poison your user experience. Don't focus on bad cammodels even if they look good. If this happens to you, leave the chatroom immediately. You will find plenty of alternatives on camcontacts and streamate. Take the time to look for it.
You are charged by the minute on streamate and camcontact. So, the financial damage will always be limited. The issue can be more problematic on Stripchat because this website allows cammodel to force customers to pay for a certain number of minutes in advance. So, for instance, a woman can ask you to pay 10 minutes in advance at 60 tokens totaling 600 tokens as soon as you press the private button.
Why Livejasmin or Imlive models don't refuse cam2cam:
Livejasmin requires the guest to tick a box or click on an icon to activate the two-way audio chat or the cam2cam chat session. Most of the time, this is a paid feature and the guest pay an additional credit per minute to access these features. Nevertheless, this only means that when the two-way audio chat or the cam2cam feature is activated, the model must audio chat or accept the cam2cam since the guest pays for it.
On Imlive, there is only one private chat mode. If a guest wants a cam2cam, the model can't refuse it. Once again, the audio chat only mode and the cam2cam mode are "embedded" in the user interface. Anyways, there is no exclusive mode on Imlive. It limits the potential bad behaviors of bad cammodels.
Sometimes, cammodels want to see their interlocutor during a private chat session. They ask the guest to turn on his webcam. I think it is a misplaced inquiry. It is inappropriate to ask . The visitor is billed by the minute for the said private webcam chat session. Consequently, the cammodel is a service provider. She should not ask the visitor to show his face on webcam. We aren't in a relationship where both parties are equal here. It is not a skype chat with a dear friend who wants to see you.
Once I entered a chatroom, and the cammodel asked me to turn on my webcam right away after I asked her several questions. I think it was the most unacceptable situation. I paid for the chat and she wanted to impose her rules upon me. This didn't make sense at all. I left the chat session right away. I am flexible though. I do understand why a woman wants to see you after a 30-minute chat session or several chat sessions.
If you are concerned about your anonymity and your privacy, i can tell you that all cammodel websites prohibit cammodels to record video, audio and text messages of customers. On the other hand, if you chat with a cam model on skype be cautious because no terms of service prevent a cammodel from recording you. I think that cammodels don't record the video of visitors. It would take too much storage. Nevertheless, they could take a screenshot of you.
I use cammodel websites since a long time now, I have never seen pictures of cammodel site customers leaking on the web. I have never heard of cammodels who blackmailed a customer. I think that if you show your face, as long as you are fully dressed there aren't any risk. If a screenshot of you was published, you could say that it was a photoshop montage. Nobody would be able to prove that you visited the website.
In order to protect myself, I prefer to chat in cam2cam with women located in Russia, Ukraine and Romania because they have no connections with my country. People claim that we live in the same virtual world online. They are wrong. Language barriers and cultural barriers are quite high.
Several websites like livejasmin, camcontacts, stripchat, streamate allow user to send a sum a gift that is a sum of money for nothing in return. The livejasmin website considers that webcam models should not ask for a gift. Users should give a gift to show their appreciation on their own. The gift can also be called a tip. It always means the same thing.
Here is our advice:
If a webcam model has done nothing special for you, there is no reason why you should send her a gift. Some women may find an excuse to encourage you to send money. For example, they will tell you that today is their birthday. They may also pretend that they will buy a dildo. However, it does not mean they will do it. I know that several users ordered dildos on behalf of webcam models rather than sending gifts to webcam models.
By doing so, they want to justify the gift. Don't forget that webcam models are paid every 15 days. If they need money, they will get quickly paid.
Also, she can promise you to make a video for you in exchange for a gift. This type of request is usually a scam. They take the money and then they do nothing for you in return. Several users have been scammed.
The gift scam works as follows: A cammodel promises something, the user sends the money and then, she does not keep her promise. In the real world, you always tip somebody after a service was delivered. You don't send a gift when somebody promised you something.
When you are in a paid webcam chat session, you are already helping her since she is getting paid. So, a gift is equivalent to paying more the chat session. Imagine you paid $60 for a 1-hour chat session on camcontact. If she wants a $60 gift, it is equivalent to paying $120 for a 1 hour chat session.
Few webcam models deserve a gift. Many among them don't do anything special. If you see that a webcam model did something to please you, this deserves a gift. Otherwise, it does not deserve a gift. In 100% of cases, cammodels who asked me for a gift didn't deserve it. Usually, the laziest women ask for a gift.
These women take advantage of loyal men who keep their word. In fact, during the chat session, these manipulative women choose the best moment to ask you for money. You may say yes right away but then, think about what I just said. I think these greedy women abuse the kindness of men.
When this happens, and if the website allows it, leave a review to warn other users and tell them that she is greedy.
My advice: when you pay for something always do it in exchange for something. This is what i do in my everyday life.
We know a cammodel website where cammodels don't ask for gift since it is prohibited by the rules of the website. This website is livejasmin:
