Scam or not?
Hello all, I know that there are ways to tell if something is a scam and I'm still learning the ropes so some help on this one would be great. I got this message from another site that I'm on and wondering your thoughts. LUCKY MAGAZINE PHOTOSHOOT Good day, This is Dockery Lincoln working for the LUCKY MAGAZINE and I hold the position of 'Chief Photographer'..We are currently scouting for models for our new edition of the magazine which is gonna be out soon. We created a page(catalogue) for models and would love you to appear in it and the cover shot. The photo shoot would consist of a full length shot(with a Tropical setting) and a bust shot. You are gonna get paid for each photo that appears in our magazine. Get back to me through my mail (he gave email here). Have a nice day and please get back to me asap.

Jun 02 14 10:52 am Link I believe that the real Lucky magazine is headquartered in New York and your location is St Paul, MN. Given the amount of modeling talent in New York it doesn't seem very likely that they would go to the expense of using someone from Minnesota. In addition, they would most likely go through an agency and not randomly select someone from MM or another modeling site. Jun 02 14 11:06 am Link Thanks!

Usually models get paid an hourly rate. JMarko2104 wrote: You said that this message came to you on another site. If the site is administered similar to MM, scammers know that they will get caught and quickly kicked off of the site. Jun 02 14 12:26 pm Link |
