If you are in fact here on your own accord just ignore all the douche bags accusing you of being fake.
I got hounded when I started posting stuff here too.
If you want to start doing customs my advice is the following:
1. Start a waiting list. Only work on 1 custom at a time. 2. Only take money from the person on the top of the list and don't accept any addition money until you complete that video. Even better idea is to not take any money at all and front the supply cost yourself. Then take the money when video is ready to deliver.
Doing the above will keep you from getting over whelmed and prevent the "i never got my custom" complaints since you never took money for all the other vids you may have promised to do.
I would have to say the bast way to appear to be legit is to....actually be legit! Holy shit! I know, it takes time AND effort to make the money. Upload some clips for sale and then look for customs. They will find you if your good.
If not covered in frosting, are you really living?

Stop & think about it. A lady puts an innocent, fun vid on youtube. She notices a ton of traffic and is curious where it's all coming from. She checks it out and it's an adult fetish site! And if she checked out the threads regarding her vid, she saw some somewhat crude comments. If you didn't know this was even a fetish, it would have to startle you, and could creep you out.
She thought about it, processed it in her mind, and decided it's not that bad. Then an idea comes. "If they like it that much, maybe I could SELL a few vids to pay off my student loans!"
(Still don't know if Chris is involved, but that's a reasonable thought process.)
What a bunch of [really mean people] some of you are...
Yeah, I get it, we've seen a bunch of fake people come and go over the years. So what? It took like what 2 comments for some to go "Oh yeah? Prove it! You must jump through the hoops before we accept you!"
Even if she is fake, who fucking cares. Take it for what it is, an attractive girl getting messy. Maybe if you all stop acting like twat waffles she'll do it again.
Some of you are acting a little too desperate, which is in itself creepy. If Mandy wants to be a part of this, then welcome. If not, then that's chill as well. There are plenty of beatiful girls here who offer customs.

I am officially stealing the phrase "twat waffles"
I have NO IDEA how or where I'll use it.....but I don't care. **********
Twat waffles is the best new expression I have heard in years
I apologise for some of the reception you have received which seems to have been less than welcoming and quite frankly as a moderator of this community I'm ashamed and embarrassed! There are actually some cool people here and it is quite a fun community most of the time so I hope you haven't been put off to too much but I don't blame you if you have. The level of scepticism you have received is in major part to a scammer who has recently conned a lot of users by posing as a model offering customs or sessions. For this reason we the UMD operates a policy of only allowing people with UMD stores who are approved to offer customs videos using a UMD account. Layla's advice is the most sound I have seen on this thread so far and I definitely agree start by producing a few videos yourself and setting up a store. I will warn you as a producer myself it is a lot of hard work but also a lot of fun. Don't be deluded into thinking you could get rich from it though. Anyhow all the best and don't hesitate to message me for help and advice.
To some of the rest of you who have posted on this thread:
I am quite frankly appalled. I think if you treated every new user the way you have we would quite soon not have a community! All of us were new once, possibly naive and a bit confused too and deserving of some benefit of the doubt. Everyone should be treated as innocent until proven guilty. Sure be sceptical, show some diligence, you don't have to go flocking to this girl with your wallet open. If you have a problem with a user and believe them to be fake of breaking the Terms of Service then please get in touch with myself Messmaster or one of the other mods and we'll look into it. Anyone who I catch in future acting like a pitchfork brandishing yokel trying to conduct a witch hunt will have their ability to post on forums removed. I hope that is clear!
To the others who posted sound advice etc on this thread:
Things that make me skeptical 1) you wrote that you posted this video about a month ago when in fact the original posting youtube date two weeks ago.
2) You said that you had stumbled upon UMD as traffic seemed to be coming from here but your video desciption says "Taking requests for more messy videos! Please leave comments with ideas!" And your Username is "Messy Mandy" And it is your only video posted from an account less than 4 months old.
3) You selected an original photo of you however the bubble hides half your face and is in fact the same display picture as your youtube.
4) This statement "was a little creeped out. I've come to terms with that and now, as a poor college student, I'm willing to take requests if there's enough interest!" The video was clearly targeted to this fetish to begin with... soooo
Thus being said if you are in fact who you say you are welcome to UMD. I still strongly caution everyone from purchasing customs from new people that just happen along. Especially when it seems so obvious. I feel that there should be some rule in place to have a store for x amount of time before customs can be permitted, but again it is the buyers wallet I suppose.
I care about UMD and I don't like hearing and seeing people being taken advantage of.

Sorry about the above as you were....
I could not have worded this more perfectly. There does seem like a mad dash to be the first person to call someone's bullshit. Which is healthy in a way, but hits negative returns real quick. Everybody relax, see how things unfold, and don't let your finely-tuned BS sniffer ruin a good time!
I care about UMD and I don't like hearing and seeing people being taken advantage of.
/my two cents.
Beautifully spoken gorgeous glam gal. I really hate it when people wander in and turn what has been a safe haven for me for over a decade into a hostile, paranoid environment. As to the best way to avoid conning, I think MB is right again, but more targeted, they have to release for sale, public videos through the site before being approved for customs. Ensures commitment and flushing out hucksters.
Not that I am saying Mandy is, she could be a perfectly sweet girl just looking for a fun way to earn extra cash. Just saying MB has good ideas. Prolly cause she be one dem smart ladies, with dem brains and books and whatnot. Like the deescovery channel. We don' get many dem fancy ladies down in tha south. Gots ta love one when ya find um, yup yup.
Sorry bout that last bit. Well, not sorry enough to erase it, but sorry, I'm sure.
Sorry everyone! I've spent so much free time responding to an ungodly amount of private messages that I completely forgot about my forum post! Here's a bit of proof for all you skeptics out there. And if you still think I'm fake then... I can't help you, sorry :[
I understand the whole "no customs" thing at first. If I do get approved, does this mean I have to report income here on my taxes? I don't want my parents to see that..lol. "Hey Mandy, what's that W-2 for?" "Oh, that's for all those WAM videos I made!"...
Let me know how I can proceed without being banned...
I also have an HD version of the pie in the face punishment video available! I'm withholding it because I can't do everything for free! The day I make my first dollar here is the day I'll stop being so cynical
Boosh! That's what you call well played. And Mandy, not to worry, if you are reliable and create content, you'll make that dollar fast. Then lots of dollars after.
Now let's hope the usual suspect doesn't creep this girl out. It's nice to at least see proof. After the whole "Nicki" and "Michelle" debacle, my skepticism is somewhat diminished.
Definitely a drop-the-mic moment there. Well done.

I would talk to MessMaster directly. But I'm fairly certain that all sales on the UMD (both download stores and customs) have to be reported as of this year. There's actually a W-2 you have to fill out and submit to open the store.
Unfortunately, due to the scam artist I mentioned in my first post (and others after him), you can't offer customs without going this route. I'm not sure if that's a deal breaker or not.
Hey Miranda. I'll contact you soon and give you a proper welcome to UMD, and get you set up for whatever you want to do. Thanks for sticking with us so far. I'm sure the community will love the flavor that you bring.

Awww thanks Bunny. Actually there is such a policy. Nobody is allowed to solicit customs anywhere on this site unless I have approved them to. To get approved, you must have had a download store for some time, and show some consistency to your activity on the site. That lets us know you aren't a ghost, and gives customers some of your past work to look at, as well as a platform on which to rate your service on our ratings pages once you're approved. (I keep saying "you" but I mean "one" :dunce
