We’ve decided to share our experience to serve as a warning to always double check who you’re dealing with especially if it involves money. To our GFY friends and to everybody else taking the time to read our thread, as much as we don’t intend to spoil all the fun for you...please, please be more careful from here on!!
Basically, here’s what happened:
In November of last year, we posted an ad seeking image suppliers for a specific project. AFSC reached out to us, and told us they had images that matched the details of the sets we were looking for, we asked for samples and we liked the samples, until we finally decided they were the right fit for what we were looking for at that time and agreed on how we would pay for the images we ordered.
Here’s what we ordered:
Girls Amateur Pictures, Selfie types included (Quality sent in the previous samples should be maintained). Each set should contain both casual and nude pictures.
Age Bracket:
• 18-25 – 200 sets
• 26-35 – 200 sets
• 36-45 – 600 sets
• 46-54 – 750 sets
• 55+ - 750 sets
Before we sent the final details of the image sets we need, there had been a few minor changes and requests, all of which AFSC was able to deliver. We both agreed that if they could send us a sample of 1 set with a mix of casual and nude amateur pictures and with all photos possessing the same level of quality from their previous samples, then we would buy from them ASAP. We agreed that we’d be sending a 50% down payment of the total amount. The remaining balance will be sent once we have received all 2500 sets with copyright. Since FTP is AFSC’s preferred method for sending images, we told them that once we pay the 50%, they should provide us the logins so that our IT personnel can start downloading the image sets.
We were consistent in updating AFSC regarding the status of the payment, from the time we began processing up until we finally sent it to their account. We sent the 50% down payment on December 3. AFSC promised that they will commence organizing the FTP and the sets so that once they receive the payment, everything we need for the sets will already be ready.
On December 6, AFSC confirmed that they were able to receive the said payment. According to them, their content organizer has likewise begun putting together the sets. Once all the sets have been completed, it will then be added to the FTP. They gave us their word that they will be sending us the details once everything is done. At this point, however we were already behind schedule and we really wanted to get the images ASAP especially since we’ve already paid the promised 50%. We asked if we could get the FTP logins and start downloading the sets. We also asked if they could give us an estimate of the file size. Don’t get us wrong, we do understand the effort and the demand of being an image supplier to various clients—especially if there are huge orders like this one. But we also had deadlines that we had to meet and we simply wanted updates on our order.
To our surprise, AFSC replied, ANNOYED that we kept on asking them for updates. They even went as far as to call us impatient and unprofessional. They then decided that they will no longer organize the folders according to age [bracket] and will simply upload all the images. This means we will still need to sort the files once we finish downloading it.
On December 12, AFSC said they will send they FTP instructions the following day (December 13) so we can start downloading the files. They even reassured us that the files will be updated on a daily basis. But we did not receive any instructions or updates at all. We continued sending emails, asking for updates from December 13 to January 9. BUT NOT A SINGLE REPLY FROM AFSC. We gave them a final warning on the 9th of January, stating that if they are unable to provide the FTP logins and images within 24 hours, then we will expose their deceitful ways.
Oh, and here’s an interesting note:
We recently discovered that a certain image supplier we worked with in the past turned out to be a scammer and also happens to work for AFSC.
If you are all for doing legitimate business with your fellow members here on GFY, then why have you not tried to reach out to us either via email, Skype or perhaps even through a phone call? Were we asking for too much?? All we wanted were updates. Do understand that we, too, have deadlines and schedules that we need to follow for our projects. Besides, YOU HAD NO REASON to leave us hanging since WE DID PAY THE 50%, ACCORDING TO OUR AGREEMENT.
WE DEMAND A REFUND! COMPLY NOW or we will take the necessary LEGAL ACTIONS!
Once again, to our dear friends on GFY, please be careful with who you choose to do business with. More importantly, PLEASE BEWARE OF THIS COMPANY- AFSC a.k.a Adult Film Star Content.— A total joke. Nothing but a group of scammers!
