Hi everyone! Just wanted to give you a heads up. I got a "too good to be true" offer via email for a 2 day shoot paying $1200. The only catch is I have to cash a check, take my $500 deposit and forward the balance to the wardrobe stylist lol. No one does business like this. Never never forward cash, its a total scam! Keep an eye out I've already heard other artists nationwide that have received this same email. He said he found me on Model Mayhem so make sure you delete this as soon as you get it!

Don't delete it, flag the sender. The link at the bottom of the email so that the sender is removed from the site.

It was a direct email, not in the system here. However good thinking, I reported it via google/gmail.
