On June 2nd Mikaela sent me a message that I had to update my paypal email on IMVU as paypal forced her to change the email. She said that could be cause the paypal card is Italian but she was accessing it from Brazil. It's hard to believe. I lived in Indonesia and I was of course using my Russian paypal and I never ever got any issue about that. Why? Cause I was the only person who would sign in. In our case, we had Mikaela and Giusseppe/Carmella/whatever accessing it from two countries as she will prove it later.
That was the time when I made my first audit and I realized I'm losing a lot of money "on commissions" - as I thought by then. I was extremely stupid and naive. I still assumed Mikaela was the only person having access to this paypal account and she'd send me exactly the same amount IMVU would send deducting those 100$. As you could see from the table, every month I was losing approx. 18-20% not counting the 100USD and in September I lost 26% (!)- stupid me, I thought that was Paypal and some special Brazilian crypto exchange fees. Now I know Paypal would take around 4-5% for the first transaction (currency conversion) and 6.5% for the second transaction (Brazilian fee). Crypto exchange takes almost nothing.
This is a table I created in June to count how much money I had been getting from IMVU after all the "fees". I counted only those months when I was not getting my Sellfy income to be precise. The third blue column from the right stands for the amount I was finally receiving on my bank card while the 1st blue column stands for the percentage of the requested money I was getting including the fee I'd been paying to Cuore/Carmela. Those light green columns stand for the same numbers but excluding those 100$ so you may see I'd miss about 18-20 and sometimes 22 and 26 (!) procent paying for "various paypal commissions" as I thought by then. But they'd never be that high and should be about 10-13% at very max.
As my IMVU income has been decreasing monthly and as I thought I'd also been paying too many fees, I told Mikaela that I can't afford to pay 100$ usd anymore and I can pay only 50$. That time, well and now as well, I had only around 500USD in my 2 weeks pend on Ferra and about 125USD on Etazie. I could withdraw some more only due to my MASA still being higher. So I sent Mikaela the screenshots of my pending cash and I also asked her not to share these with Guisseppe as he was not supposed to know my income and in general my income should not be related to the amount I'm ready to pay him. She said off course not, don't worry (!). I deleted the screenshots in a while as didn't feel safe. And then she replied me with something truly shocking. This guy was so kind that he said he would be ok to receive 50 usd if my MASA dropped to 500$ (!!!). Imagine the fucking nerve! His guy was expecting he could actually have a control of my earnings and claim 10% for doing nothing. Also note, there is no Carmella here. I'm sure you remember she was the one who was supposed to receive the montly fee, right? That is what Mikaela was saying. And this is what Giusseppe accordingly to Mikaela's words was so happy about. Now Cuore is the one who gets the money. And now it seems that THIS DUDE expected to get 10% of my income. That time I was extemely alarmed and I started to look for a new paypal. The one I used on Sellfy I couldn't use on IMVU. Another friend of mine also had their paypal already occupied on vu and couldn't give it to me. My hubby had a sister who lived abroad but she also couldn't help. The situation was really hopeless.
And then Mikaela handled everything once again and stupid Ferra trusted her as usual. We had a long audio messages exchange, she assured me he actually didn't mind I'd pay less if my income dropped, only if I'd earn let's say 3000$ she doesn't want us to "deceive" him (!). She also said it once again that she opens my paypal along with her paypal she uses on IMVU by HERSELF in Brazil - these are exactly her words she said on June 8th. She also said alot about herself being in such a situation in the past and how much she understands me i.e. all that kind of bullshit that made me trust her and not to question her honesty. In the end we agreed (and that was my suggestion) I'd pay 75USD next 3 months and then I'll pay 50USD for the paypal. Stupid Ferra, I did not know by then that Mikaela had not been already paying anything, my pocket was good enough for them. I also suggested I'd pay Mikaela directly 25USD from my Sellfy income as I couldn't afford more and she said she doesn't need to take any money from me as she's been in such a situation and she just wants to help. That day I also have her a coupon with 100% discount on all my goods in Sellfy. Stupid naive me.
