Mia Shadows here. I’ve been avoiding writing this post for weeks. Every time I sat down to type, my hands would start shaking. But I think it’s time. This is the story of the chargeback that didn’t just take my money — it took a big piece of my trust, my confidence, and for a while, my motivation to keep going.
The Night That Started It All
It happened about six weeks ago, on a Thursday night. Business had been okay, but not great. I was in a public room when a private request came in from a user I didn’t recognize. He offered a very high amount for a long, custom private show — 90 minutes. He was polite, detailed with his requests, and seemed respectful. He wanted slow, sensual, very specific acts with multiple outfit changes and toy play.
