Has Anyone Ever Heard of or Used Supercamstudio.com?
I just got an email from this guy named Gerarld today, he said he saw my c4s store, and they offer more. However, I never heard of this site and have not seen any posts about it and was wondering if any of your other ladies are using his site or can offer some feedback.
Thanks!
Re: Has Anyone Ever Heard of or Used Supercamstudio.com?
I've never heard of them either. EVERYONE, however, has heard of Clips4Sale. It seems like nowadays, everybody and their momma is coming up with new sites trying to profit off of camgirls. Lol. This guy e-mailed you out the blue about a site you've/I've never heard of, and he has the nerve to compare it to Clips4Sale. PASS.
Re: Has Anyone Ever Heard of or Used Supercamstudio.com?
Yes, my thoughts exactly. Funny, he appears to be some kind of affiliate for Streamate. If you click LIVE CAMS on the site, its streamate. Seems shady, but that is why I figured I would throw it out there. He is apparently looking at girls c4s stores and trying to recruit them to sign up on his site too.
Re: Has Anyone Ever Heard of or Used Supercamstudio.com?
Whoever he is, he doesn't have a website. He seems like a studio recruiter trolling for models on clips sites. Brilliant idea actually :)

I got this to also from a Gerald but for a completely different site but the Gerald I talked to seems legit. Maybe I'm naive because that's quite a big damn coincidence :/.
Re: Has Anyone Ever Heard of or Used Supercamstudio.com?
To me it appears he gave me a site, that could be an affiliate. He said he's the founder of indiepay. However, if Katy at Boleyn says she never heard of this, red flag. Probably starting a clip site and wants to recruit models. I'm on 3 clip sites, that have traffic. I'm not signing up. He has a pornhub and streamate link.
Re: Has Anyone Ever Heard of or Used Supercamstudio.com?
From the Indiepay website, it seems legit or it could be a smoke and mirrors thing. It certainly doesn't add up that a person running a film studio payroll and tax management corporation on the scale that it appears on the website would be personally trolling for cammodels for his studio. The bullshit artistry could be one of 2 things:
1) He's not the founder of this IndiePay but he's using the name to troll for cammodels.
2) IndiePay isn't actually a thing, it just happens to have a nice website. We have something similar for ourselves just so cammodels have legit cover for the name on their pay stubs, much like Streamate, MFC, and CB all have sites like this if you google the company name on the checks.

Some linkedin research...JFA Accounting, the parent of IndiePay is a quite a large and legit operation in the film and movie industry with over 100 current employees. It seems extremely unlikely they'd have this as a side business. I'm leaning heavily on option #1.

We just fired off an email to IndiePay asking about this whole affair.
http://indiepayroll.com/about/team/ there's no Gary or Gerald anywhere on here.
Re: Has Anyone Ever Heard of or Used Supercamstudio.com?
First thing: the e-mail was called "Quick Question".
The site is still in beta.
Honestly, if it's true it's great but I find it really hard to believe a site pays 85% and covers chargebacks. Of course there's probably no advertisement/marketing on their part so that cuts their costs.
Re payouts.
"
- Payouts are sent twice a month via Paxum (free), wire transfer or SEPA (free, EU sellers only). Default currency is US Dollars but we also payout in other currencies for free."

Thanks Katy, there you go.....here's a warning for all the other models he has a quick question for. BIG NO!! Totally shady shit!
Re: Has Anyone Ever Heard of or Used Supercamstudio.com?
There's a lot of sites lately doing that 85% thing...this makes maybe the 4th or 5th one I've seen in the last month. We looked into it ourselves and are considering this for our own models, though the chargeback thing would be a very sticky issue. Daily pay and no chargebacks are a siren call for scammers. This seems to be the service du jour (and we did nail a kick-ass domain name for it :) ).
What annoys me in general is that a lot of people try to enter this industry on the basis of being shady. They just can't come out and say "Here's what I got, hope you like it!" - Instead they feel the need to make up all kinds of things about their background or their motivations. "I just want to see cammodels get a fair share" captain Save-a-ho bullshit, or the "I'm just a guy with a dream for a better world for sexy girls" crap...or trying to make it out like we're all victims. Its entirely unnecessary to lie when you don't need to...it goes to an underlying psychopathy actually. People that lie when there's zero benefit to doing so or use long-winded drama to sell their service are pathological and absolutely should not be trusted with your money or your time.
Re: Has Anyone Ever Heard of or Used Supercamstudio.com?
Is this the same Gerald from IndieBill.com? If so, it is a video hosting site/e-store and competitor to ModelCentro and CamModelStore. My spider girl senses always go off when I hear about indiebill. He is actively recruiting on Wecamgirls forum and everything sounds way too good to be true and I suspect he is luring content producers over to his site, promising more, to then sell our content and perhaps the site itself. It states in the terms and conditions that all of ur content also belongs to IndieBill and that they have rights to distribute any way they see fit even though they insist they will not.

Yes it was!!
Re: Has Anyone Ever Heard of or Used Supercamstudio.com?
He's got a thread over in Industry Insight. The offer seems too good to be true, but he's dealt with questions pretty well IMO. Of course dealing with questions well doesn't mean he's telling the truth or is someone to put your trust in. Not only is he offering 85% but the other 15 is supposed to cover chargebacks AND website hosting and programming?? I dunno about that.
Re: Has Anyone Ever Heard of or Used Supercamstudio.com?
Well, let us see how this plays out. I have not had any problems but I was just waiting to see where it goes. So far so good but I have not talked about selling my videos there. I was more interested in the payment processing part of the site. :)
Re: Has Anyone Ever Heard of or Used Supercamstudio.com?
IndieBill says they own everything and can sell and resell however they want once you upload your content. I, too, got an email from lovely Gerald...who spelled my name wrong in it. Twice. Sorry Gerald, but if you're not interested enough to check my name, I am not interested enough in your shady ass shit.
