Reason? Refer to maker. What the fuck does that mean? Well, from what I gather, it basically states that the creator of the check either froze the account or it is actually fraudulent (I'm gonna go with the latter). I politely brought this to Mr. Cary Grant's attention via email. He apologized and promised to reissue another check with a return service fee (because when a check gets returned to your account, you pay the fee).
I played the waiting game again for the next couple of weeks...and nothing.
I contacted him twice via email and received no reply. Hell, I even threatened to sue him in court for a writing bad checks (it's illegal in the state of California). I'm in the process of sending this guy to court. Shit like that pisses me off. If you're gonna hire someone for a service, pay them. People don't wake up at the crack of dawn and work for free.
To sum it up...
- I worked at MME Summit.
- I didn't get paid.
- And I lost money in the process.
There is a MME Summit coming to New York in November. Just a warning to any potential booth babes: I did not get paid...do the math. Shady operation if you ask me.
UPDATE: I received an email from Cary Grant about my post being "slander". For shame! I find it quite humorous that it takes less than 24 hours for him to get an email from him pertaining to this post, yet he finds difficulty in replying to my last two emails sent out over a month ago about my check.
FURTHER UPDATE: Just checked the mail. Still no check. *tsk tsk*

you've been upset about this for awhile...it can't believe you haven't gotten paid for this yet!!! what an idiot!
When I have models working for me at a tradeshow, usually after the whole convention I supply them with a company check or cash. This MME Summit was probably a one-day ordeal. It's odd that this guy couldn't pay you off after an event. Instead he drags this whole ordeal out for as long as he did. Know what characters you're getting involved with before you work for them.
