Experiences With Custom Videos?

It appears that I may have been scammed by Ben Masters.

I saw on Twitter than he was running a sale, so I decided to subscribe. My first day as a subscriber, he posted that he was doing custom videos. I messaged him with several scenarios ranging from easily to fulfill (like solo foot fetish stuff) to harder/more complicated (like Embarrassed Nude Male "trapped naked in public" stuff). He offered to do the more complicated ENM, but said it would cost $100. I hesitated but then agreed. I suggested that he send it to me through OF's direct message feature with a $100 price, so that I wouldn't pay until it was completed but I couldn't see it until I paid. I knew there was a little risk that he'd send me something else that didn't match what I thought I was paying for, but at least I'd see something. He countered and asked me to pay him through Venmo instead. I was wary, but also was a little tipsy, a little shy about pushing back (had this odd feeling that I'd come off as a dick for making demands), and wanting to feel like I could trust him.

I Venmo'd the money to him (this was on August 9th), and then went to OF to ask him to check. There was already a message for me confirming that he received it and would work on it "tomorrow" (Aug 10th). Waited a few days without hearing anything and then messaged him politely on Aug. 12th. No response. Sent another polite message on Aug. 14th and suggested that if my original request was too tricky to pull off, we could negotiate an alternative custom video. No response. Wrote again on Aug. 18th and asked if I had been scammed. He wrote back right away and said no, he had been moving, but would complete the video the next day.

But no video the next day, or the days that followed. Wrote back on Aug 21, again offering something easier like jacking off on his feet. (Probably not worth a hundred bucks but at least I'd get something fetishy.) No response. Wrote again on Aug. 26th again asking if I had been scammed. No response. Yesterday (Aug. 31) received a group message for a PPV video (a few others like that had come in while waiting for my custom). I immediately responded asking about the custom order I had placed three weeks ago (having been 22 days since the order). No response.

So anyway, I would recommend being wary about buying custom videos from him unless it's a paid video through the OF site. I will delete this post if he ends up following through before my subscription expires in a week -- or if I can't delete it, I will at least post again about the outcome.

As someone who has got the T-Shirt I can tell some stories:
I have brought requests off both OnlyFans and JustForFans which I have noticed the lack of talking on this post which is a shame as there are some great guys on there that do well. My rule to myself is to vet the creator look at their content and always use the message on both sites asking if I can tell the request idea before just so I don't bark up the wrong tree.
The best experience I had with customs vids were with guys that were straight to the point and were willing to listen, the ones I'd recommend is Dominus Eros on OF he's great for Solo vids and did a great stripping one for me.
I try to find someone who is straightforward, someone who does requests and is hot doing them is Seth Munich at the time his JFF Sub was cheaper and my suit based solo was something he did more than deliver.
Cole Koda on JFF again delivered and he also recorded a draft version of my request just to make sure we were on the same page.
I have had a few bad ones everyone does, I did 2 requests on JFF and they stopped talking and I never got my vids but then it was $1 per minute so what did I expert.
I did also have two guys who were honest, they couldn't promise the vid I wanted so they cancelled, the one Michael DeCrow I had saved up to buy a vid $121, just as it was set in stone he messaged me to say he and his partner in crime was unable to make it before they travelled and so they refunded me which was a shame and I used the cash on something else before he'd returned but at least he was honest that makes him better.
I hope this helps anyone that wants to do this, it's all trial and error but if it works it's so worth it.

I have more experience with this than most, particularly with the twinks/fems lol. I used to do this the old way back on tumblr/twitter before OF was a thing and am pretty aware of how OF can complicate or help the process lol
