I am not sure were to even start with this situation. The following is a copy of the email that I have been sending to this company. We have had no reply from them. Can anyone give us some advice on what to do? By the way, City Studios or Online Services Inc. is a company that claims to help people get their start in the adult entertainment industry . Any help or advice that we could get would be greatly appreciated, Thank You.

WE HAVE PROOF THAT YOU WITHDREW THE MONEY FROM OUR ACCOUNT, YOU WILL BE RECEIVING IT IN THE MAIL SHORTLY.

When one sleeps with dogs, one may get fleas.

Report the unauthorized credit card and withdrawal transactions to the bank and credit card company.

But a sucker is soon separated from his money.

If you paid by CC, call your CC company.

Bu tother than that, I advise you stay away from them and not pursue it further. they are not in the adult biz, they merely pedel a directory. You still have to do the work and send in pics and whatever.

If you ever caught up with these folks, you would b sorry you even bothered.

I fyou think the old stud has what it takes, then get an agent and let him worry about it. Or make your own and learn how to market it 9of course, now you run into a whole bunch of legalities, but living in SF surely does lighten that load quite a bit compared to the rest of the country.
