Received this in my email. Scammy?
"Dear Photographer, My name is Ms. Tilly Anderson from Model-Path Management, you have been contacted based on the great photography job you have on the website MM. We found some of your work impressive therefore we invite you to work with our models in the next upcoming fashion shoot. The shoot is an international all expenses paid fashion shoot, which is schedule in Toronto Canada. The date for this events is 27th-29th November 2015. Let us know your availability. For more information email us on [email protected] Also note that this is a PAID shoot not TFP Regards, Ms. Tilly Anderson http://model-path.com/" Oct 26 15 07:03 pm Link Seems like a scam to me. Bad English, calling you 'photographer' and not your name, no working site, 'agency' using the term TFP, paying the photographer for a fashion shoot and not the other way around. So many red flags. Oct 26 15 07:19 pm Link There are lots of photographers in Toronto and area that would not have airfare and hotel expenses to cover, or foreign taxation and work visa issues to deal with. Google --> Model-Path Management results --> nothing of interest I see no business case for this being real. The proposition makes no sense. Oct 27 15 03:42 am Link Definitely the beginning of the typical fake check scam. (They'll send you some money via a check or stolen credit card and tell you to WIRE an overpayment to a third party). The $$$ you wire will be untraceable and unrecoverable, the fake check/cc amount will be taken away by your bank. Oct 27 15 06:22 am Link Dear Photographer IT goes down hill after that bs.
