Extreme Associates Bounces Another Check 7/27/01 Hi, My name is Lisa and I feel so stupid. I'm not sure if this is appropriate but I have no where else to turn. I was issued a check that bounced by a well known company and don't know how to proceed. I was told that the check will go through but that I need to wait a week. I don't have a problem financially- It's just that I'm 22 years old and can BALANCE A CHECKBOOK and am just feeling used and stupid. Silly me didn't ask or think of asking if the check was good upon receiving it. My god. The irony here is that I did a scene for a website 3 days before that was the most pleasurable experience of my life. It paid the most and the guy was a babe. I was told that doing websites was cheap and that it would hurt my career. I was told this by my "agent." The guy paid me right there and treated me like a queen. People have different agendas in this industry and I can't talk to anyone else so here it goes. Am I the only one that has had this happen? Please disregard if this isn't relevant to your site. But I don't know if I should just wait or call the police. The check is small ( less than 500.00 ) so it's not the end of the world. Sorry for the drama-just don't know what to do. The company is called Extreme Associates. I was told that that this has happened before and the company came though -and paid- so I guess it isn't the end of the world.

They were the ones I were referring to last month when they bounced their check on me three times. I'm never working for them again. I had to stress out major about paying rent late. I would call and leave messages and the accountant would never call me back. I had to keep calling and calling and calling. I had to make two trips and wait hours to get checks which ended up bouncing three times. Maybe good for the bad man image but not f---ing funny, having to live on the street and having a bad relationship with your owner/landlord. Meanwhile, Extreme owed me a measily $100.00 for half of a whopping $200.00 for a Krysti Myst gangbang from over a year and a half ago, which they claimed I never worked the second half of. The proof that I did work both days of a single girl $100.00 a day shoot spread out over three and a half weeks is in the video itself, where, in the first half of the video, I'm clean shaven, and in the second half, I suddenly appear with a goatee, which I grew for over three weeks. Some bulls--- happened with them, where I found out I was fired while showing up to be in a gang bang with a girl named Sunshine (forget her stage name), who with I never worked, and was escorted out without EVER being heard. It turns out that someone, on l-keford, I believe, was apparently talking s--- about Krysti Myst and Extreme, and did so anonymously. I was one of a few people complaining the day of the shoot about this sudden ultimatum we were given about having to show up three and a half weeks later to the day we were booked to finish the cheap gangbang, otherwise we would no! t get paid for either. Krysti couldn't finish the shoot, and it may have had something to do with the fact that all of us were told, for the first time, once we got there, that we had to be real brutal with her.. Slap her, spit on her, and in her mouth, piss on her, and have her lick our dirty s---holes, as well. This kind of s--- we should all be warned about, and cleared with first, especially the actress. When I talked to her the second day of the gangbang, three weeks later, I told her I thought they should treat her better. Anyway, later on in the scene, she suddenly says to me, in it's midst that I was the one talking "s---" about her, on the internet. I still don't know what Krysti Myst was talking about and I never said s--- about Krysti Myst on the internet, and what I said about Extreme, I said to them, in person, and to her. I was sticking up for Krysti, yet she somehow thought I was the one talking s--- about her, whatever it was. Maybe someone went on the internet paraphrasing what I articulated? I don't f---ing talk anonymously on the internet, and don't fear them or anybody. I've spoken in the past about World Modeling and how they've f---ed me over and said s--- about me when Steve Austin was with them, because I fell out with them over a misunderstanding of intentions.. I speak my mind and I don't hide, in the name of fairness over political correctness.. which not enough people partake in, unfortunately. Anyway, I was blamed for saying some s--- on the internet and was convicted without a trial ever since, and they refused to pay me all this time. Even if I did talk s--- about them, I'm still entitled to be payed for my work.. They measily amount it was, at the time. Then, pretty recently, a nice guy by the name of Rod Fontana booked me on Extreme's Boot Camp, and a did three scenes (bj, dp and regular boy/girl) for $700 (I didn't even know what I'd get paid until ! I finally got the check). I'll say it now and I'm not speaking anonymously, by the way. Extreme Sucks. They're lucky they are still on the shelves. The constantly reveal what they really think of talent, not only by the way they brutalize them on tape, for their own kicks, but by the way they bounce checks as well, and all the other unprofessional bulls---. They apparently pride themselves on f---ing with people in every way. It ain't cool we're exposing ourselves to the world in every way and risking our health or even lives for the public's entertainment, then we gotta deal with not being able to cash our checks, and wondering if we can pay rent. I think it's just one more middle finger they're waving at us, while laughing. It's part of the scumbag anti-porn posterchildren image they pride themselves in. With all the times I've had to call for my $100.00 check over the many months, and then the $700.00 and the bounced check fees, and my late rent fee, and the driving and the aggravation, I've tacked on my own late fees, the way the government might do with a late traffic citation. I'd say, Extreme owes me about double, at the very least..Which I've managed to more or less collect, because I talked the accountant into giving me a second check, when the first one bounced, and was never returned to me promptly, by my bank. So, I finally two days ago deposited both checks and now I'll call us even, and give them a little taste of what it feels like to be ripped off, lied to, humiliated, repeatedly. Take me to court if you like, or otherwise just try confronting me in person, and you'll meet the wrath of both God and Satan, with the pain of all the f---s who've ever f---ed with me in my life but which I've held back against lashing out on, held within me still. I've got more interesting things I could mention about Extreme, but I won't bother, unless they want a war. They need to learn respect and humility themselves... They're already way too high on humiliation. Jeff writes: Do you think Extreme bounces checks because they don't manage their business properly? Or do they really have financial troubles?
