This is to everyone...models and photographers alike.
I was contacted on myspace by a person claimging to be "Sara Dunbar" who was trying to get a site started called Alternative World.  She told me her concept was like that of Suicide Girls, but replace the sexuality with artistry.  She told me that she would pay me $500 per shoot I submitted as a photographer, and $1000 per set I submitted as a model.  Sounds good right? WRONG.
"She" then told me in order to be a model on the site *which by the way wouldnt be launched until August* I had to do a webcam audition IMMEDIATLY which included stripping and self induced orgasm...."but I thought the site wasnt sexual?" I asked and she told me that the purpose of stripping and orgasm was to see what kind of poses and facial expressions I could make...what BS!!
I asked also if "she" would be on a webcam as well, and was told NO....
"She" pressured me for 4 days straight for about 5 hours a day to go out and buy a webcam and "audition"...and after telling her no for almost a week solid, she got the picture I guess.
Questions about credentials, sponsorship for the site, and other important information like that that is normally readily available to models and/or  photographers interested was never given to me.
THIS SITE IS NOTHING BUT A BIG FAT FAKE!
If "Sara" contacts you, shoot "her" down, ignore "her" or whatever you wish....just dont fall victim and actually do anything on the webcam or even send her photos...
Thats all....just getting that out there...
I know she has invaded myspace....dont know if she has hit here yet or not....so mods: dont approve anyone named Sara Dunbar, Alternative World, or the email address [email protected]

I would have put it on ignore as soon as it brought up the webcam thing. How could you put up with that for a week?

What amazes me is the fact that you let 'Sara' jerk you around for 4 days... over 20 hours of YOUR wasted time... telling her NO for almost a week solid... before you decided to blow her off... HELLO... I personally think you wasted 19 hours and 59 minutes... wink

the only reason i actually put up with it for that long was i wanted to see how much bullshit she would actually feed me, to see if she could take bullshit being fed back, and i was insomniatic....and it was someone to talk to lol.
lame excuses i know, but whatever

Did you trace the phone?  The phone company will get involved since it could be considered sexual harrassment.  You might want to give them a call.

The fact that you're posting this to warn people about them is the sad part.

Any person who doesn't see red when 'webcam auditioning' is mentioned is pretty stupid or naive or I don't know what sad

You should have reported her latest after the second time 'she' disrespectfully ignored your decision (no)  to the crew.

Those people should have internet on probation or only with a parole officer or not at all big_smile

Whatever it takes to make money... for some people I guess.

I think you should have called the FBI and have them record and trace all your email/phone conversations...

The next time you have a chance to protect some stupid innocent starry eyed girl who wants to be a model, take it.  Use your intellect to bust losers like Sandra/Sara...

ok, im just asking a general question and in no way refering to the OP

on what planet would anyone even dream that a legitmate, legal, bonafide company was going to conduct a web-cam interview? and if for some un-godly reason you needed to make goofy expressions simulating an orgasm, YOU WOULDNT really need to have an orgasm to make them dontcha think? i cant beleive people fall for this

NOW even in a real Adult Film, the closeup facial expressions shots are done after the fact and are just acted. (i just happen to be 'acquainted' with a few well know adult film stars and agencies)

Now im totally glad to see that you didnt fall for this B/S

Could really be a woman, but regardless- "she" has been around since the dawn of time on the forums. You would think she would know to go extinct...

Honestly, I think the police or something need to get involved. This person or persons is really stepping up their game and just seem to be waiting for new members to join and then whammo...they start e-mailing them and tagging them.
That new model site Modelplace, they are on there too under Q models.
If you're on that site, do a search and you will see them there.
It's just nuts! They never give up.
