I keep getting this same email and phone call..
An email and phonecall I recieve all the time.. ____________________________________________________ I am a 50 year old male that lost a bet to my girlfriend and must now produce a nude photo shoot. The kicker is (to add insult to injury) that it must be done by a female photographer. I have never done anything like this before and needlees to say, I am more than a bit nervous about this. I also don't know how to go about arranging this but I was advised to look on the Onemodelplace website to look for photographers. I thought you were a female photographer (if I recall the post). Do you have one? I am not exactly a young, buff model type. I used to be in decent shape, but alas I am losing hair and gaining weight. Not a great combination. Anyway, is this anything you can help me out with or if not, point me in the right direction. I'd like to get this over with (actually I'd like not to have to do this). Can you help me out of this jam? ------------------------------------------------- Please beware this has been like the 7th time this person has contacted me. I dont know if he is a predator or what but it is freaking me out... And everytime he contacts me he didnt remember doing it before.. AND...he says this exact same thing written here to the word every time!!! Dee Jan 06 06 02:52 pm Link lovely. if it makes you feel uncomfortable or your gut tells you it's a bad situation, don't do it. Jan 06 06 02:55 pm Link Oh no...I tell him no EVERY time he contacts me... Jan 06 06 02:59 pm Link lol, it's times like that when you wished the "Block" feature worked, huh? Just ignore him, and maybe he'll stop. Jan 06 06 03:01 pm Link Dee wrote: I would say if the price is right to go for it. Make sure you have assistants with you though.

Jan 06 06 03:40 pm Link No unfortunately this is a local guy not through MM...Just though I would put a warning out to all the female photographers...I am a tough cookie I'll tell ya and I could prolly whip his ass myself..LOL Jan 06 06 07:33 pm Link Just block him from the modeling site if thats where he is sending the emails to you from. Another thing you can do is mark his email as SPAM thru nortons and you will never hear from him again. You said phone calls? If your getting calls i would wonder how he got your number and then remove it from where he got it from. If you get enough calls you can get the police involved and have a restraining order put against him because he just might be stalking you. You should not have to say "No" more than once, after once it just gets creapy. Jan 06 06 07:40 pm Link Maybe he has amnesia, like in 50 First Dates? Jan 07 06 12:36 pm Link I sometimes go through craigslist.com and have found some of my models on there. It is quite common to see men all the time who want to "model", yet will only do so for female photographers, and its always nude and erotic nudes they want to do. in reality they wanna,well,,,,,,pleasure themselves while a stranger female is in the room, and get pics for the memories. Jan 07 06 12:39 pm Link ask to speak to his partner hwo he had the bet with Jan 07 06 02:23 pm Link If he's got the dough, send him to me, I'll put a dress on and try to keep my voice up..........it'll cost him but I'll do it Jan 07 06 03:25 pm Link Yeah he contacts me about every 2-3 months..I have a husband so I am not freaked out that he will find me or anything..I was just putting this out here for all the other female photogs...I agreed to do it the first time he called but I told him my hubby would be there with me and he ended the call...Then he called again about 1 month or so later with no recelection of talking to me...I told him no that time and ever since I have said no right away.... I have my phone number in many places as I am a business and need to have it public...So taking my number away is not possible...He doesnt stalk me or contact me frequently enough to be bothersome just annoying when I think it will be a paid job and turns out to be this guy... I just dont want any woman photographer to fall for this guy..who knows what could happen...Thanks for all the remedies though... Jan 07 06 03:32 pm Link well if you'd just shoot it, i would.....i mean..... he would stop calling Jan 07 06 03:34 pm Link Sounds like spam. Jan 07 06 03:37 pm Link I am with Jay. Send it to me, we will ask for $2000.oo for the shoot and I will give you half. Or tell him yes, act like he never had call you, actually that you will love to do it, ask for a deposit in check or CC so you can get his full information, do a background check, call the police, the American Most Wanted Show, or the Show COPS to escort you to meet him in a public place and make a video so when he act weird the police take him, AMW or COPS make the video, you keep the money, get paid by the TV, take a predator out the streets, get lots of publicity on the media and send me half and give me some credit on the TV because I did give you the idea. Or just block his phone number and email. Or answer the phone and pretend he got the wrong number. Or just tell him to send a non refundable deposit to a PO BOX, and that the only time you have free is when you get out your regular job as a officer of the SWAT in your town and follow the above about Cops, etc. Hope these are enough ideas.
