is this "producer from san diego in az" fucking serious?

A girl I'm working with is sitting here with me talking about this "company" that has girls do "test work" before they "sign them" to work with them.

I have never heard of this shit before other than about guys with no connections to the industry that get girls to go hook up wiht them for free in hopes of landing them paying gigs. So I ask her a few more questions...

She basically tells me that it was some guy she contacted who said he needed to do a test run with her to see if she can "perform." I asked if there was a camera involved, she said no. I asked if it was at a studio or some location she said no, it was where this guy lived. Then she tells me that he emails her back later about some other guy needing a freebie.

I googled the company name and a bunch of shit came up but found nothing porn related. She said all she found was an address and a phone number. Maybe it IS real company but I doubt this guy works for them.

Here are the emails from most recent exactly as she forwarded them to me (with contact info removed)

Hi XXX, I just got an email from XXX, he said that you wanted to be compensated for consideration for an interview with XXX productions and the initial testing for this work. XXX said that we don't pay for these initial testing sessions. All of our female actresses had to go through 3 unpaid sessions before being signed on. We have 20-30 women per week wanting to work, so unfortunately that is the answer. I think you will find that most productions companies in the valley will require you to prove yourself before they hire you. If you are still interested, let us know.


Thanks,
XXX Admin Assist.

Hi XXX -

Great to hear from you!

My cell phone number is XXX.XXX.XXXX. Please feel free to call anytime!

As for pictures... I am attaching a few but I have to warn you, they are POOR quality. These were taken with my crappy digital camera in my apartment and I'm kinda making a goofy face in the one. XXX will tell you I am *way* hotter in person! 0_~ I really need to get some better photos taken.

Hope to hear from you (or Roger) soon!

Love,
XXX

Hi again XXX,

Can you do us a small favor, do you have any full body pictures semi-nude or nude? We need them for your profile folder. XXX had asked for them last week.

Thanks again,
XXX

Hello!

I just wanted to check in. When I met with XXX last week he gave me the impression that he wanted to hire me and that I would be hearing from you to complete the paperwork. He also mentioned that you would possibly be filming this week, so I wanted to stay on top of it! Is there anything you need from me at this point?

Thanks for your time -

Love,
~XXX



Is this guy serious? I can tell you it's hard enough PAYING girls to work in Arizona, much harder getting them to do 3 unpaid "sessions" so I seriously doubt he's getting 2-3 girls a week when he claims 20-30.


What do you guys think?
