A lot of them still call ME the scammer for getting them to sign up for a shady site. At the time, webcaming was 100% of my income at the time, so being owed $ for over a month was a big fucking deal to me, I wasn't able to pay my billls! I haven't worked there in awhile but I was just contacted by a girl who I know well who is upset because they're not paying HER and the models in her studio. fucking shady.

When I expressed my concerns about this to people at conventions, they all said the same thing. "Oh ___ always pay late, but don't worry, because they always pay." so in other words, it was just accepted in the industry, what a fucking unprofessional joke!

Worst still, the company was based out of some 3rd world country so it's not like I could legally go after them. They had NO model support number, but you could "open a ticket". The only response I ever got out of this, usually 2-3 days later usually, was some bullshit like "dear model, we are sorry this has happened to you. If the problem persists, please contact us and we will investigate further" WTF?!

so what do I think of companies that pay late? I think it's quite obvious.
