Dear Sammie,
I wanted to personally thank you for your interest in New Sensations. We received your application and you’re exactly what we’re looking for.

We would like to officially invite you to audition with New Sensations Video in Glendale, Ca. We feel like you would make a great addition to our organization and hope we can have a long and prosperous working relationship together. And oddly enough we have the same birthday.

New Sensations and its subsidiaries follow State and Federal guidelines regarding the production and distribution of pornographic material at all times. Three of the most important laws governing our industry are:

· California State Law that requires that no performer be listed as a Sex Offender in any State or Federal jurisdiction.
For these reasons it is necessary that New Sensations Studios have every prospective actor submit to a comprehensive criminal background check and mandatory 7 panel STD check prior to filming.

Hello I have a question for u in regards to this Same email almost word for word but from Naughty America ,How am I to know if it’s a scam ???
I got the same thing but I applied tho so is it?
Cody what happened…I got a email from naughty America with this same lay out…I was excited at first but now I think it’s a scam…for $97 really
It’s a scam he got me for 95 bucks
https://kevguy1976.wufoo.com/forms/mq7ciln11e5ycd/
Web site I sent my info to above email address below
larry@naughtyamericaemployment.com..
Do u think I’m being scammed ?
have you heard back from them?
Yea I got one from the same dude at naughty America but I sent them my info first
Yes I did also .Clifford did Naughty America get back with u have u auditioned or was it a scam? iIf u don’t mind me asking
Its a fucking scam
Me too now he won’t answer me
I recived the same letter with A W-9 form
From Naughty America surpose to fly to
L.A. Aug 26th i wonder if it is a scam…
I got the same one from naughty America. I think it’s a scam. He can’t have the same birth day as all of us
Pretty sure its a scam..Better to be safe then sorry
Honestly,
This is clearly a scam. To that “same birthday” I acually did some research (not hard to find someone in today’s time) and I appearantly was talking with Naugh-ty America. I didn’t call the number provided in email, but when i was transferred from an operator; a male voice said “Hello?” I told him Naughty America sent me an email and said they were interested in hiring. He immediately responded quite calmly “Oh, that’s a hoax. Yea, sorry you had to go through that.” I hadn’t paid the “88 dollar fee.”. Whats truly troubling is there is no “guy or girl” scamming. This is Naughty America itself!! After I thought about it, I was like.. “Is that not there logo, email, and copyright?” So I called back four or five times and not once did the operator pick up. Even if you call customer support, it goes straight to a voicemail. This pornographic company is operating multiple scams. They are the cons. Someone really needs to being them down!! Fast..
email me the email adultwikimedia@gmail.com
what number did u call of the dude that said its a hoax???
It’s a scam and no one at any legitimate production company is involved. The bastard is putting ads on Craigslist around the country this time claiming to be from Naughty America. I got hoaxed and paid for the bogus background check/std test that the scammer says is reimbursed at the time of the audition. Fortunately my better half smelled a hoax and contacted paypal. Got the money back the next day. Here is the body of the email I received:

I got the same exact email from the supposed naughty america company. With the exception of the birth date. i Unfortunately I did pay the money before I found this site. I have already contacted paypal and am trying to get my money back but I don’t know if its going to happen. I did everything on july 11th and when I had not heard anything from them two weeks from the audition I started sending emails. I got one back saying that they had not gotten my background check back and it had been over a month and a half. A background check usually takes two weeks. I applied for a job at an international airport and it only took about a week to get my background check back so that was my main red flag for it being a scam. That is the last time I try to apply for a job through craigslist.
Received same letter, with a different name (see below). May want to add that to the tags for this post, to help others. Thank you ALL for helping me prevent a terrible mistake!

ANYBODY REALLY MET LARRY?LOL
I was also almost scammed by this “Larry Rosenberg” aka “Recruitment Director” of Naughty America. Only I was waiting on funds to pay the $97 background check/ STD test & thought the payment process was a little strange.
I googled Naughty America & found this page in the 1st link! I recieved the same exact email as the ones copied & pasted here, w/ “Larry” also stating he was born on the same birthday as me, “….just many years before you.”
A few other things that made me question if it was legit was a couple spelling errors, even though everything else seemed very professional & thorough.
#1: In the 2nd paragraph of the email it says, “We think you’ll find that out [supposed to read ‘…. find that our…..’] management and supportive staff are here to be of assistance to you and help make your entrance into the Naughty America Family as seamless as possible.”
#2: In the 3rd paragraph of the email the word subsidiaries is spelled correctly. But on 1 of the DWOLLA payment links it’s spelled wrong, spelled something like “subsideraries” w/ 2 r’s.
#3 is the way DWOLLA is spelled differently as “DWALLA” on the 1st page of the Hire Form. -Here is the wording on the online form:
Do you give permission to NA/DWALLA, Inc. to charge your credit/debit card $97 for the FILM & VIDEO COMP FEE? *
Yes No
Just wanted to post this to help others to not be scammed like I almost was & many others are being scammed. I hope Larry goes to prison for scamming innocent people. Thank you.
Lmao I just want to give everybody that payed the 97 dollars or what ever without calling and talking to someone first a round of applause. I really enjoyed reading that some of you thirsty assholes payed money to a scam without doing your homework first. I’d like to say this is one of the better scams I have seen only because of the vigorous application process and people it targets. I have actually auditioned for porn with an actual agent while living in southern California and I must tell you the fact that they are willing to pay 500$ a day for somebody to audition was a real big red flag. The pay for men in adult movies isnt even that much. Once again I really enjoyed hear in about those that spent the money and truely believed they were going to do porn. These agents are picky and won’t take just anybody.
Joseph,
Thank you for the email. I must provide the Casting Director with my final confirmation by tomorrow. If you can submit the application fee by then I can verify your audition date. Besides covering your background check, it lets us know you’re serious about the position and that we can count on your attendance at the audition.
Please let me know if that works for you. We were very impressed with your application and hope you decide to join our team. Please let me know if there are any additional questions I can answer for you.
Respectfully,
larry signature redo
I will give slight credit for making it seem pretty convincing.
I had almost fallen for this. I was already pretty hesitant on joining the industry, I let it rattle around in my brain for a good year. Then I just went for it. I was surprised to hear back so quickly, but I had gotten the email, seemed legit. Was gonna follow through, but took another extra second to check out this Larry Rosenberg, only because I know another Larry Rosenberg, the Buddhist teacher. You can pretty find anybody these days with the right search ad most especially if you’re in the business this “Larry” is in and the position he claims to be in.
Immediately this was the first link I found.
So glad I was still so hesitant, wanted to check it out more and didn’t fall into something unpleasant.
Hope other people find this before it’s to late.
They’re at it again. I just got a similar email. This time the guy is going by John Rosenberg. The email has all kinds of forms too. You want me to send you a copy of it?
its a fucking scam man i fell for it too
