What To Do When A Company Doesn't Pay
Hello,
What can I do when an online company does not pay me? I have not been paid yet (2 pay periods have gone by so far), and I have sold around $250 worth of videos. The emails claim that I will get paid, but nothing happens. $250 seems like not enough for legal action. So, what can be done?

Check with your state employment/labor laws. If you are an employee you can usually go through the labor commissioner or if you are freelance/independent contractor then you have to go to small claims.

There's also the option of making a fuss about it on social media. Tweet to them, and use popular hashtags. Other models might have the same issue, and join in.
I'm also curious what company this is...

"look cotdamn it, we've been as patient as we're gonna be. Now whennnn can we expect payment???"
*Not trying to make light of situation but a bit of humor might make it easier for you to discuss with the payroll coordinators how they can get your earned money

Re: What To Do When A Company Doesn't Pay
scat shop. I have come across other models using the hash tag on twitter. sorry for the late reply girls
-
Re: What To Do When A Company Doesn't Pay
i mean other models using the hash tag #scatshop about not getting paid. not really sure how the site continues to work? maybe because its a sort of taboo fetish, people don't want to come out and say "this site didn't pay me for my shit videos"
Or
"this company didn't pay me." "what company, mam?" "scat shop"

What more is there to say? Have you followed through with everyones suggestions? Badger them on social media and call them out on industry forums (as you did) so other people know to avoid them. Maybe contact all the models using their hashtag and see what they're planning on doung. Find out who owns the site and what other connections they have. Its always another site somewhere. Blast that one too so they cant hide and deceive the next person.

When talksugar.com wasn't paying people - people made a website called talk sugar sucks
Talk sugar briefly got their ish together and started paying people, but it's really up to you. how you want to handle this one.
at most if you can find out who their merchant account is you can make a fuss with them.

Re: What To Do When A Company Doesn't Pay
thanks girls ....just going to try everything until I get results. if anyone else has not been paid by scatshop, message me or post here.
-
Re: What To Do When A Company Doesn't Pay
I never heard of the site, but I googled it and it seems to have quite a few girls and a plug on Reddit’s seller circle...did you contact support? What payment method did you pick? Do they say like scatshop on their direct deposit? Some banks may not like that.
-
Re: What To Do When A Company Doesn't Pay
I've been paid every time, but lately they haven't been answering messages which has been a big issue when guys do custom orders. Direct deposit is the only option and no, it doesn't say scatshop on the deposit so it shouldn't be a bank issue.
-
Re: What To Do When A Company Doesn't Pay
Hi, I use direct deposit. 2 pay periods have gone past without payment. They have confirmed by email that they received my bank info and that I was going to get paid for sure at the beginging of this month. and yes, they have lots of girls on their site with a lot of traffic etc. I'm really confused on who is and who is not getting paid there and why.
-
Re: What To Do When A Company Doesn't Pay
Okay, so I emailed them one last time saying that I would take legal action if I didn't get paid by the next payment period (would be the 3rd of not getting paid). I received a pretty petty email accusing me of "idle threats" and a threat to me of ending my account. They paid me the next day. I just want to put this up here for any other girl who has had problems and cant find info about SS. The entire thing has been super unprofessional and weird. Like I said before, I have found a few other girls who have encountered the same. On the other hand, it also seems like a lot of girls don't have issues with payment. Not sure how they pick and choose, but its the reality of this company. I feel lucky that I got paid the entire amount of what I was owed.

Re: What To Do When A Company Doesn't Pay
oh, and for any girls wondering, it shows up as "Illusions Online" on your bank statement for DD

I'm glad you got paid and thank you for sharing. Your threats must not have been that "idle" since that's what it took to get paid.

Re: What To Do When A Company Doesn't Pay
What kind of name is that for a site? I know what scat is supposed to mean & that it is illegal by every credit cards TOS.
-
Re: What To Do When A Company Doesn't Pay
so you mean scat as a fetish isn't covered by any credit card TOS and that illusions online is a weird name to go under? agreed on the weird name, but I wasn't aware about the non coverage for scat. ive been wondering why more sites for this fetish aren't out there. I thought maybe it was okay in their state or something. wonder how the site stays up?

Shit or piss is against the TOS of every credit card company. Are there companies that start up & sell it & lie about it? Yes
Eventually they will be reported & shut down.
Can creating such content be against the laws in your local area? Possible & you just created the evidence they need for them
Have directors who's shot such content go to jail? Yes, they got away with it for many years, but then got hard core time at a very hard core prison for murders. Now they are broke because all their money went to the lawyers.

Re: What To Do When A Company Doesn't Pay
OP, I totally got a giggle out of this thread. From it going silent after you mentioned the "S" word, to Phat's typo 'doung' and all... It does make it seem kind of ironic at treatment considering the company's 'duty' and not coming off more professional. Glad you got paid. Forgive me, I just had a crazy month so everything is making me laugh.

:-D Ha! This is actually a pretty hilarious read if you start at the top

Re: What To Do When A Company Doesn't Pay
Yeah, ScatShop are a pretty crappy company but it's by far the best site to sell scat videos on. I make so much money there I just have to put up with the crap like:
1. Not paying on time.
2. Sending condescending messages, treating me as if I'm 12 years old or I just started making porn yesterday.
3. Making mistakes on their end and then yelling at me about it.
The list goes on.
Yep, shitty company (pun intended) but there's so much money to be made I just have to take a deep breath and suck it up because I know I'll be grateful for my restraint when that paycheck comes (late).
