3388340 Roselinex (SCAMMER) messaged me regarding opportunities as a model for a nationwide cleaning/sanitation products ad project. After responding to the given email address, I received this poorly written scam pitch:

Thanks for reaching out in regards to the upcoming shoot notice via Model Mayhem. We are extremely confident about the results of our collaborative efforts as it would be an honor to capture your beauty, poise, elegance, and sensuality. MrStewards Photography; is a professional photographer, and freelance personnel from Sanford, Florida. Our specialty are red carpet, commercials, promotion, and editorial/magazine and fashion photography. We make remarkable and compelling images calmly and quickly whether in the studio or on location with our crew and our resourceful approach to photography is complimented by patient, and our detail oriented personality. Experienced at working in every camera format, whether digital or film, we're skilled, capable and inventive, without needing to rely on heavy retouching or a single stylized look. We can be easily as effective behind the camera shooting with natural light and has worked in some leading publication, promotion and entertainment shows. And here we are again, calling for an upcoming commercial products ad shoot to market small and medium sizes of Cleaning Products nationwide for Janitorial and Sanitation services.

The Shoot Is For What? This project is aimed at featuring a large collection domestic and industrial size cleaning and sanitation products from various sources and manufacturers, to be displayed in an online Classified ad, Pamphlets, Billboards, Hand bills and Calendars. Our obligation in respect to this piece of project is to generate some marketable images to feature these items, where a model will pose with the various items and exhibit a photographic character/language able to attract and call consumer's attention. It’s very simple and works the same as any typical promotional or commercial photo shoot. The end product from the photo shoot is an online classified ad, Pamphlets, Billboards and Calendars that would convince the public to make these collection a choice among others.

* The event Date: May 23, 2014 or May 24, 2014 in case May 23 is not a convenient day for you. * Time: 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. * Nudity: No * No level of experience is required * Compensation: Paid ($130.00/hr.), a duration for seven (7) hours shoot/gig. * Location/Venue of event: the shoot will be within your locality - (we shall arrange a suitable Studio within your City and convey its detail to you unanimously.)

N.B : We'll be responsible for your hair do, mua and transportation, except for your wardrobe/costume that will be shipped to you directly from a contracted Designer in charge. If you are selected you'll be paid $130/hour. Also, note that the payment for your wardrobe and clothing measurements has to be forwarded to the designer by you, reason being that, the payment for your wardrobe has to be made or billed to your Name/info as requested and acceptable business terms by the Designer, to ensure a tallied customization and label to be printed on your costumes.

In addition, an advanced deposit of $300 shall be mailed upfront to you to insure your engagement on the upcoming project with us in line with our business ethics. More also, your wardrobe bills will not be from your personal pocket, however, you will not only receive a certified paycheck of $300 but also an extra amount of $2650 that you will use to pay for your wardrobe bills which you will forward to the Designer in charge of your Wardrobe after cashing the check along with your measurements. Therefore, you must have an active Bank Account to deposit the check you'll be receiving, all you need to do is to go to your Bank and deposit the check yourself to your account to take care of your wardrobe/costume bills and upfront payment. I hope this is clear?

Models may attend the shoot with their choice of escort (maximum of two) and should not arrive location later than 9:30 a.m. to commence make-ups and attend a brief introductory class about the proposed project and shoot starts by 10:15 a.m. You will be given a Model Release Form to fill at the Venue just before the shoot commence.
