Money laundering and fraud are illegal activities that harm our community and business. At Dream Studio LLC, we collaborate closely with a 24/7 support team from our payment provider to prevent, detect, and address these unlawful actions. We have robust controls and procedures in place to safeguard our platform.

What is money laundering?

Money laundering refers to the illegal process of concealing the origins of money obtained through criminal activities, typically by passing it through legitimate business transactions to make it appear as though the funds are from lawful sources. The illicit money is "dirty," and the laundering process makes it seem "clean."

Money laundering is strictly prohibited at Dream Studio LLC. We utilize a range of sophisticated tools, policies, and procedures to prevent and detect any attempts to use our platform for this unlawful purpose.

What is fraud?

Fraud involves unlawfully obtaining money or valuable assets through deception or trickery.

Fraud is not tolerated at Dream Studio LLC. Our platform employs multiple systems, policies, and preventive measures to identify and stop any fraudulent activity.

How does Dream Studio LLC address the risks of money laundering and fraud?

We are committed to protecting our community and platform. We leverage a combination of human expertise, technology, and a partnership with our payment processor to investigate suspicious activities or transactions.

We monitor for "red flags" that might suggest money laundering or fraud. These include, but are not limited to:

• Multiple payment card attempts using different names;
• Rapid purchases in a short period;
• Payment attempts from flagged or high-risk IP addresses;
• Purchases from accounts exhibiting suspicious patterns (e.g., newly created accounts or those using unreliable email domains); and

We further block payments from sanctioned countries. Should we determine that a user or transaction involves a sanctioned individual, entity, or region, we take appropriate legal steps, including halting transactions.
