Why Feet Pic Scams Are so Common in 2025
Scammers target feet-pic creators because most people start on social media, where there is:
- • no identity verification
- • no payment protections
- • no buyer ratings or safety tools
- • no platform-mediated disputes
That’s why Footly was designed with verified buyers, secure payments, and inbox protections—so creators never have to deal with scammers pretending to be customers.
The 10 Most Common Feet Pic Scams (Explained)
1. The “Send Me Proof Pics First” Scam
The #1 scam. A “buyer” asks for sample pics before paying. The moment you send them, they disappear—or resell your photos elsewhere.
Legit buyers never ask for free content. Footly blocks buyers who do this.
2. Fake Payment Screenshots
Scammers send edited Cash App / PayPal screenshots claiming they paid. They haven’t. Screenshots are not proof.
Footly uses real-time payment verification—no spoofing possible.
3. PayPal “Friends & Family” Scam
They insist on PayPal F&F. Why? Because you cannot dispute the transaction if they charge back or reverse it. Creators get wiped out.
Footly uses adult-friendly processors, not PayPal.
4. The “Verification Fee” Scam
Scammers claim you must “verify” your account by sending them money. No legitimate buyer asks for this.
Footly handles verification internally—never through buyers.
5. Chargeback Scams
Buyer pays → receives content → files a dispute → wins → you lose both money and content.
Footly protects creators from chargebacks by using no-refund digital sales.
6. Cash App “Pending Payment” Scam
Fake buyers claim the payment is “pending” and you need to send money first to “unlock” it. 100% scam.
Footly payments are instant and require no “unlocking.”
7. Snapchat “Screenshot Buyer” Scam
They pretend to buy, screenshot all your previews, and ghost you.
Footly watermarks previews automatically.
8. “Send to My Agent/Manager” Scam
Fake buyers claim they work with a manager who “handles payments.” This is a laundering scam.
Footly buyers must pay directly through verified checkout.
9. Gift Card Payment Scam
Anyone asking for Amazon, Apple, or Steam cards is a scammer. These payments cannot be reversed or tracked.
Footly only allows secure card payments—no gift card nonsense.
10. Catfish Buyer Profiles
Fake profiles steal photos and pretend to be buyers. They love targeting creators who look inexperienced.
Footly uses identity verification to eliminate catfish buyers.
