Lately, I've been running into a lot of internet models who have been subjected to some pretty underhanded behaviour by a handful of webmasters/photographers. Unfortunately, they give us all a bad name and this really pisses me off.
I won't mention the names of the sites themselves for fear of legal consequences but they do carry the generic terms in their names such as MILF something or other; Crackhead Hookers; etc.
All were duped into believing they were being photographed for a generic adult XXX site only to see themselves (found accidentally while surfing) portrayed as crackhead ho's, and pathetic nymphomaniacs. Nothing of the sort was ever disclosed to these girls.
Word of advice: log onto their site(s) to see what kind of content is on it. If they refuse to give you the URL, do not walk. RUN.
If the guy tells you that he's in the early stages of compiling content and hasn't got his site up yet, ask to see the website design. Surely, he must have that together if he's remotely serious about doing it and not just "raincoating". Moreover, if the scene he wants to shoot does not fit the content style of what he's telling you (ie: tells you it's for a premium model site but he wants a shot of you hitch-hiking on a desolate country road), you're being taken for a ride, literally and figuratively speaking.
If the guy tells you that the male model cancelled out at the last minute and that the photographer has now taken his place (meaning, the guy who hired you initially), RUN. He's a "raincoater".
Most importantly, whether or not protection is used, if he doesn't ask about a current, verifiable medical test result, RUN. Either he doesn't care, or he doesn't know any better. Either case, you're asking for trouble.
Last, make sure they are properly registered and comply with Sec. 18, 2257 USC. If not, RUN.
If you enter into any agreement without noting the above, you only have yourselves to blame for not exercising due diligence.
