[SWAF-Potluck] Credit cards cut off Backpage

[Aanya Mas-sage]

My MasterCard does not work and they also told me to buy a prepaid visa.
There is no way I am going to do that as they charge $5-7 for a $100-200
card and BP is now $5 an ad... I tried the fund account but my MC did not
work there either. What a crock. I'm pretty pissed that the CC companies
would buy this BS. Yet they continue to take payments from porn sites and
individual providers. It just makes no sense. Looks like I have to apply
for Bitcoin.
