I got this from a well known performer (female) apparently there are a LOT of scumbags out there currently trying to prey on talent. Please note these numbers and if you have any info that may help other performers send it to me. Why is it always an association with Bang Bros with these scumbags? It seems that every dirt bag predatory mother fucker, the first company out of his mouth is Bang Bros.
Be careful out there ladies. I know times are tough in the biz but be vigilant so you dont fall prey to one of these shit stains like the one(s) mentioned here or Scott Sparks
Hi Mike
I wanted to let you know of an experience I had recently so that you can warn other girls. Okay So this number called and said that he was with Bang bros, had been on set with me on the scene I shot in FL (long time ago) for the Dorm Invasion site.He said that he wanted to shoot me but when I tried to get any type of reference of cross check info he very quickly decided that I was rude and ended the call abruptly.
I do have him recorded on my tape-call app for one of these gems of a conversation. The number is (661) 379 7311 and he also said that his name was Mike Adriano (when I questioned it due to knowing what the real Adriano sounds like he claimed that there was more than one with that same name in the biz).
The Texas number that seemed to cover every red flag of a shady waste within 30 seconds was 281 704 5105 and I was called many times and ignored it after seeing it for a farce… All of these calls have happened within the past week and if you want exact dates i can provide them.
Lastly another number out of the country +49 70-979 40 97 claiming to want to shoot me that night for some European company and when I asked if he could tell me what other girls he shot he scoffed and hung up.
Also this past Saturday I had over 12 missed (and hang ups) calls from VA number 757-478-3786.
I keep an observant eye on this type of pattern between my past and the fact that it seems to have started shortly after I began shooting again a few weeks ago independently and selectively. As always it was good to hear from you and this could be nothing, but it could also be a new brand of bullshit since the majority mention Bangbros, or claim to be affiliated in some way. Have a relaxing holiday and contact me if anything sticks out as significant!

Better not do that from a state (like Florida) that requires 2 party consent.

Probably because it has brand-name recognition.
This could be from a girl answering a craigslist and or back page ad. A lot of phony producers that troll that site claim to be with these companies.
I think you missed the part about it being a well known performer
You’d be surprised how many “Well Known” performers answer ads on craigslist. Also SexyJobs.com
she didnt call them…they called her…..I can assure you this girl did NOT answer a CL ad…jeez
Hi Mike. My question is how does someone who is new go about doing it then? I am not justifying this shady behavior by any means, but for any people who are out of the loop (like myself), how do these scenes exactly get booked? Don’t many of these girls go through agents and the agents can weed out the proper companies from the rogue ones?
Anyone can answer, but I’d like to hear from a former director himself.
