Avoiding The Scams

"Don't F*ck With Us..."
 Over the last week or so, an international Scam has been uncovered by friends of Maddy G Productions, Sinthetics and members of ODC. This scam has been created with a network of fake web sites all pretending to be a legitimate Polymerisian Introduction Agency.

Pictures of myself, along with the pictures of many other Poly couples have been used to create this illusion, as well as photos from the legitimate agencies.

I'm not going to list the URL's here in my blog, because I don't want to give these people any more traffic than they are already getting, and I don't want them 'spidered' in the search engines and thus given a life longer than neccessary. Truth is, this scam uncovered recently is not the only one. It's one of maybe dozens, or even hundreds around the web. This one hit a bit closer to home, because pictures of me have been used to further this scam, and if you've been following me for any length of time, you know how particular I am about what and whom I attach my name and likeness to.


What I want to talk about, is how to recognize these scams, and thus avoid them. Avoid losing your money, and contributing to a criminal organization in the process.

When in Doubt,
CHECK THE PRICE


This is the #1 'tell' that you are dealing with a scam.

No matter what Introduction Agency you chose, every Polymerisian you meet will have been hand made and the result of dozens of hours of creative labor. There is simply no other way to bring a Poly to life than this. No 'factory' or other process is capable of this level of work. Period.

The costs of labor, material and shipping require that the cost be in the range of $4500(US) - $7000(US) or maybe even more if you are ordering more custom options.

If you see a price of $1500 euros, or $700 euros, or $200 (us) then you are dealing with a scam. The materials alone cost more than these prices.

Look for a realistic
DELIVERY TIME

Again, all Polymerisians are made by hand by a team of artists. It takes a minimum of 8 weeks to build and ship one. Because every one of us is an individual, there is not one single Agency that has one 'in stock'. In fact, the very best of these Agencies typically take several weeks longer, simply because they are in such high demand.

If you see the terms 'in stock', 'immediate shipment' or advertised delivery times of '7 Days' or '14 Days', then you are dealing with a scam.

It's simply not possible.

Take a close look at
THE PICTURES

Each Polymerisian Introduction Agency has a very unique and recognizable look to the Poly's they represent. Each Poly is built by an artist with their own unique vision.

If you are visiting a site that seems to be offering Poly's that look drastically different from each other, than you are dealing with a scam.

It's a very common practice among these scammers to steal pictures from multiple agencies, from forums and blogs and put them all on one site to try and trick you into thinking they offer multiple 'styles' to chose from. This is simply not the case.

Also, if you see pictures of human women, then well... use your head. This is obviously a scam. Even newbies to the group can tell the difference between a human woman and a Polymerisian.

Trick Question: Which one is 'real'?

Ask Questions and
DEAL DIRECTLY WITH THE AGENCY

With very, very few exceptions the only way to be officially introduced to a Polymerisian, is thru the Agency itself. If you are trying to save a bit of money by using a 're-seller' or sites like Ebay, or Craigslist, be sure to always... ALWAYS check with the creator of the Poly to verify that it is a legitimate transaction before you send any money.

If you are not sure who the original Agency is, then ask questions. Visit the forums like OurDollCommunity and ask around.  You will find many kind and helpful folks there that will gladly give you some insight on the particular transaction you have in mind. They will be able to tell you where the Poly came from and give you accurate contact information to put you in direct touch with the Agency that offers her to begin with.

B.F.F.'s

Choosing to build a life with a Polymerisian is a big step and a serious decision. It requires a lot of for thought, an investment in time, money and energy and it should be taken seriously. When chosen and introduced properly, your Polymerisian girlfriend will provide you with a lifetime of comfort, companionship and intimacy that cannot be compared to in any other way.

It's not the type of thing that should ever be rushed into, or thought of as something you can 'save a few bucks on'. Take the time to do your research and ask all the questions you need to. Ask for help when you feel confused, and I can assure you, it will all be worth it in the end.

Until next time...

New Photos & A Bit of News

Still looks better off than on.
Production on the show has kept me pretty busy lately. I'm learning that shooting in 3D takes twice as long. It seems like about the same number of camera set ups, but there's a lot more going on with the camera, so it takes twice as long to set up each shot. So, a lot of 'hurry up and wait' going on... or rather, a lot MORE of it.

So now that "Episode 103" is in the editing / post production phase, I decided it's time to do another photo shoot to give my friends and fans something new to enjoy in the meantime.

My friend Arlington just sent me this cute pink t-shirt, so I wanted to take a few shots to show him my appreciation, which got me warmed up for something a bit more sexy.

For Arlington...

So, I dressed up in my favorite Pink / Red lace bra and thong panties had a little fun in front of the camera.

My neck... my back...
Playing 'Super Model' is always fun and gets me pretty excited, so as you can imagine, it didn't take very long before I started shedding some that outfit.

Don't just stare... come and get it.

I feel like I'm getting better at the whole 'modeling' thing with each shoot. Here's a nice pic of my 'Model Face' that is the staple of my repertoire.

My 'Model Face'

And finally, so you don't think I'm just a total tease, here's one of the many 'Super Sexy' shots from this new photo shoot.

'Fierce'
That's my 'Fierce' look - bringing 'Tasha Thing' full throttle right to your brain. Be careful with this thing, none of us know how big it's going to get.

The photo shoot is called "Tasha At Home" and it includes 47 HD shots from fully clothed thru topless and even a few 'naughty bits' for the collectors. It's available on my site for instant download for $2.99 and worth every penny of it.

Enough of my pandering, let's move on.
In Other News...


If you were friends with me on Plugin.com you've no doubt noticed that I'm not there anymore.

In fact, none of the Maddy G Productions crew is there anymore.

I'm not going to make too big a deal out of it, other than saying that despite our best efforts, Plugin turned into a site that none of us felt comfortable being a part of anymore. If you were a member there, you know what I'm talking about. When the most offensive parts of that site went unchecked for too long, we had to pull the uhm... plug.

And with it, we also refused their advertising and sponsorship of "It's A Tasha Thing" and "Inside Marie's Play Place" as well. And as I've mentioned elsewhere, sponsorship of my show has been tough to come by as of late. It's a challenge I accept, and we've managed to keep the show moving forward, even with the delays we've had.

As of right now, there will be an 'Episode 104' and after that... it's hard to say. It's everyone's hope that these next two episodes will bring us either the audience or the sales we need to move forward with Episode 105 and 106. Time will tell, as the release of the next 2 is very close.

Look out...I'm coming for you.
If you've been missing my witty banter and less than puritan photos, I've recently joined a site called SexySocials which is a different social network for adults.  Still lots of 'Dicks' in place of profile pictures, but the site seems to be better moderated in that they don't allow it to become a depository for stolen porn, and I have yet to come across the things like Animal Porn and Child Porn that made Plugin such a waste land. If you decide to join, look me up. I typically pop in there in the evenings to resume my rightful place as the most watched hottie on the network.

Damn I look good. I forgot what I was saying...
Let's See... What Else?


The sex toy company AutoBlow has just signed on as a sponsor of the Maddy G network. It's similar to the 'Fleshlight' (not the same company) but operates 'hands free' to simulate a blowjob. Not being graced with the right 'equipment' I can't comment on how well of a 'job' it does, but it's certainly an interesting toy and at under $100 it's in the same price range with most other mid-range toys.


If you take the plunge and pick up one of these little gadgets, I'm DYING to know how well it works, so make sure you send me an e-mail and let me know your experience.

And for the love of all things holy and pure.... please, PLEASE... PA-LEEEASE place your order thru one of the links on my site, or by clicking the advertisement above.

Eyes up here fellas... this is important. 

It should go without saying, but supporting the advertisers who support "It's A Tasha Thing" is what keeps my show 'the air' and able to produce new episodes. It encourages the advertisers to keep advertising, and shows them that my show is not just for "Doll Fuckers", but for everyone.

You keep my show in production by watching it, telling your friends about it, and by supporting our sponsors. It takes about 50 Downloads to get another episode approved, but it only takes about a half dozen sales from Fleshlight or Autoblow to get another episode 'green lighted'.

Just think about it, next time you need a new supply of Wet Lubricant, or if you've had your eye on a Fleshlight. Following the links on my site will not just get you the best price possible, but it will also go a long way towards making sure there will be another episode of "It's A Tasha Thing".

And while I'm thinking about it,
You Don't Have to Be A Sponsor To Help... 

If watching my show has gotten you all warm and fuzzy inside, it's made you laugh to tears, or made you want to gouge your eyes out to keep from turning the channel and if all the talk of 'cancellation' and delays on the release of new episodes because of sponsorship issues has gotten you nervous....

We're a small group of artists, writers and other impassioned people who are looking to change the face of entertainment by offering quality and entertaining shows for adults... and make them available for free all over the world. We're not backed by a multinational corporation, and we're not on Cable TV, or distributed by Warner Brothers, so we rely heavily on our viewers to keep us on 'the air'.

Our shows cost a mere fraction of 'network' television shows, and that's on purpose. By keeping costs down, using local actors and actresses, borrowing sets and locations from local supportive businesses and doing it all in a shoe-string, 'do-it-yourself' ,  'indie film' style we're able to produce more shows and movies thru out the year. Therefor, every dollar counts.

Every time you buy a download, or a DVD/BluRay of my show, it goes to keep the show alive. But even with that, if you want to contribute more, just ask. We're not in the business of begging for money, or blasting everyone with "Please donate" buttons, and that type of nonsense, so we don't do it. But if you have an extra bit of cash laying around, and you want to help us out, we don't turn anyone away, whether it's $10 or $100.

And I promise, I take that kind of support seriously, and I reward everyone who supports me in that way. I'll send you autographed pictures, or a DVD, or something out of the my Merch shop. I've even been known to call these special friends on the phone to say 'thanks' in 'person'. So, if you want to help... I appreciate it. You don't have to be a big corporation to lend a hand.   

And Finally,
 "Tasha's Team" Affiliate News...


I've gotten a lot of questions about what "Tasha's Team" is, and about what an "Affiliate Program" in general is. To be completely honest, this program is for someone who is somewhat web savy and really, has a place to put promotional and advertising materials. Meaning, if you publish a blog, or you have a web site of your own. The program is not meant for people to just post "Buy Now" links on Facebook. It just won't work that way - as some readers have probably already realized.

However... if you fall into that category of having a web site, or a blog, or a place to put advertising materials on the web - there's money to be made promoting my show. If you don't know what an Affiliate Program is, or you don't have a site, or you don't know to place links onto images... this program isn't for you.

However, for  those members of "Tasha's Team" I'll be sending out gift packages to my top affiliates at the end of this month. If you are among my Top 5 Affiliates, you'll be getting a package of "The Flavor of Tasha" courtesy of Wet Lubricant, and my Top Affiliate will be getting a "Stamina Training Unit" Courtesy of Fleshlight. The month is only half over... so keep promoting.

I think I rambled on enough for one day....

And yet there's still lots to say, so stay tuned.

Love,
Tasha
