I make that absolutely clear when I'm on the phone with people. I just don't understand why they so often have the misunderstanding that they're getting paid when they come in. The exact wording is "Can you come in for the interview at 2:00 tomorrow? Basically we use this time to discuss any questions or concerns you might have, and we take a few photos of you for review purposes."

I don't know where they get off thinking I pay for the interviews. To the best of my knowledge, mainstream companies and adult companies alike do not pay for interviews. It would be completely different if I were putting the content up on my site, and having them sign model releases.
