FSC Warns of Scam Producer Falsely Claiming Association with Kink

Posted On 13 Aug 2018

LOS ANGELES – For the second time in recent weeks, the Free Speech Coalition has issued a warning about a scam artist posing as an adult content producer and attempting to lure unsuspecting performers.

In a statement published Friday, the FSC said a “UK-based producer fraudulently implying association with Kink.com has been approaching potential models in the US, and possibly elsewhere, in an attempt to set up shoots in the UK.”

“The alleged producer approached at least one performer, and also their agent, claiming to be shooting scenes for Kink.com,” the FSC statement continued. “Kink.com representatives have no relationship with the person or company. The alleged producer promised to fly the model to the UK for a scene, but was unable to adequately provide basic information as to the type of scene, or who the co-performers would be.”

In its statement, the FSC reiterated advice given to performers last month, when there were reports of another scam producer trying to persuade performers to travel to Europe for shoots.

For those who have a licensed agent, the FSC recommends having the agent verify booking, contacts and other details on your behalf.

For those without a licensed agent, the FSC recommends only communicating with companies via their official company email accounts; asking for and verifying references from others who have worked with the producer/company before; getting contracts and other paperwork in advance and having those materials vetted by an attorney; avoiding negotiating or agreeing to do shoots over social media sites or messaging apps, especially when dealing with a new and unfamiliar producer; and, when in doubt, checking with the FSC to confirm the producer’s bona fides.

“We ask all existing performers, as well as those seeking to work in the adult industry, to always confirm the identity of any unknown director, agent or other contact by calling or emailing the company they claim to represent,” the FSC said in its statement Friday. “Most companies have publicly available profiles. If you are unable to reach the company, or are otherwise hesitant to do so, please contact Free Speech Coalition, and we can help confirm.”

The FSC said it is currently investigating the newly reported scam and encourages “anyone who has been approached, or has any knowledge of this scam or others, to report potential incidents to us so that we may alert the community.”

“Please also be aware when booking European shoots that many producers do not use the US-based PASS testing system,” the FSC added. “Always find out what safety precautions will be available to you before committing to any shoot.”

Last month, the FSC issued a similar warning about a producer “fraudulently implying association with various US agents” and reported that in “at least one instance, the person used a Whatsapp profile tied to a UK number.”
