Greetings! 🙂👍
I wanted to share a quick update about why the site hasn’t been updated recently, since it has always been updated very regularly and continuously. Although I’m not in Florida right now, I have continued shooting models, just not as frequently as before, over the past month. I plan to resume shoots as soon as I can. Unfortunately, last week, my bank account was hacked by a scammer who drained the funds. The bank’s fraud department is investigating, and I’m hopeful the matter will be resolved soon, which I believe it will be. I’ve always been careful with my financial information and never share bank details, but I trusted a company that turned out to be fraudulent. I’m understandably frustrated, but I’m taking steps to move forward. I don’t currently have funds to cover hotel or travel expenses, but I’m working through this situation and will continue shooting as soon as possible. I’ve opened a new bank account at a different bank, and it may take a week or so for direct deposits to be fully set up.
I’ve already submitted the necessary paperwork, and everything on the site is obviously functioning as it always has. The site was never affected by any of this, other than me being unable to do any updates at the present moment, as it was just my personal checking and savings account. However, the bank still has a lot to do with it, as in my hosting payment being due, hotel and travel expenses, etc. However, keep in mind that there are over 400 models available, so there’s still plenty of content to browse through until this has been resolved, which again, should be soon. I have had this same bank account for nearly 20 years, so I feel like the bank will likely be on my side regarding the issue, but I just wanted to let everyone know the reasoning behind no recent updates.
Thank you for your patience and support during this time. I’m committed to resolving the situation and resuming shoots as soon as I can.
