dashfoto.com...real or fake?
What do you guys know about Dean with dashfoto.com? Is he legit? Sep 21 07 11:15 pm Link i got the same email- i know exactly what you are talking about. so i'm gonna go with "no" ...but, *shrug* ~T Sep 22 07 12:18 am Link Judging by the fact that he's one of a few hundred people that claim to be a photographer, casting agent, scout, and whatever.... no, he aint legit! (the term "sluggo" is used by MM members to describe that type of guy). Sep 22 07 03:02 am Link yeah i got this..it starts at the bottom. this was copied and pasted. i just dont wanna go down and get scammed you know? HIM: relax do u wanna model?? , Besides MODELING/ACTING i shoot/scout/cast jobs!I HAVE WORK FOR U;ya this is a tad unorthodox. CAN YOU TRAVEL? this is a window of opportunity;DO YOU WANT TO COME TO LA/ NYC /MIAMI SHOOT - WORK AND GET A AGENCY? LETS get your career going!? dashfoto.com (my photo site) ME: no i'm sorry. i know nothing about you. HIM: honey, im in LA can u come here? ME:im sorry im in california. other side of the country... HIM:i haVE A JOB FOR, U IN TOWN? WHERE RU? up for a trip????? Sep 22 07 03:04 am Link Looks like another phoney BS "management company." I loved this line on their site: "EXCUSE MY CONSTRUCTION :MY SITE WAS HACKED! BESIDES MODELING/ACTING I SHOOT/SCOUT/CAST JOBS AND PLACE GIRLS IN AGENCYS!" And apparently in fixing the hack no one knew how to spell "agencies." Sep 22 07 03:07 am Link Regina, I see the problem. This should be a sticky for everyone getting a profile here. Take your instant messenger & e-mail info OUT of your profile. Putting them there will only get you this kind of harassment. Sep 22 07 03:08 am Link Yeah that is what i was thinking.. Alright i will do that, thank you!! Sep 22 07 03:12 am Link for the record! this is what i know now. He is a loser scam artist from Miami. He used to be a male model with Wilhelmina, but is a psycho model stalker, despised by hundreds of people. He trolls the model sites looking for models, he promises them fame and agency introductions, and tells them to fly to Miami (on their expense) then he makes them live with him. He shoots them topless a couple times and tries to hook up with them, if that doesn't work out, he kicks them out and sends them home. Sep 22 07 10:15 am Link Regina Robbins wrote: Florida law is pretty strict regarding agencies and licensing. Operating an agency without a license is a FELONY, and the states definition of an "agent" is wide enough to include managers, casting directors, and promotors.

Sep 22 07 01:05 pm Link SayCheeZ! wrote: thank you for saying on top of these things (as usual) Sep 22 07 01:07 pm Link sounds like he thinks harassment is really just her-ass-ment. Sep 22 07 01:23 pm Link Regina this guy Dean is def bad news hunnie. He has screwed over countless wannabe models from Myspace and other sites like this. He basically preys on the young naive models 18 and below, and promises all kinds of BS scams to them. Then on top of that tries to make them his girlfriends. He is well known in Miami, NYC and Los Angeles and I would not be surprised if he gets arrested soon one day. In my opinion he is a pedophile and criminal.

Sep 22 07 02:51 pm Link  Plain and simple. Sep 22 07 03:11 pm Link  Plain and simple. Sep 22 07 03:12 pm Link oh boy....  Sep 28 07 12:11 pm Link dax wrote: Dax.... lol....

Sep 28 07 05:10 pm Link Others have already weighed in on weather this is a scam or not. (from what I've read, is most certainly is) A good start in judging the legitimacy of an offer is the ability to spell properly and the use of proper grammar. Most legit places have secretaries who type correspondence of this nature. The other is that legit agencies don't send out e-mails to models via websites like this one, or Myspace for that matter. I hope this helps  Mark Sep 28 07 07:35 pm Link I have gotten the SAME exact message, and he was REALLY pushy about first trying to get me to come to Miami, then LA...He was almost angry and rude, when I told him that I was declining the offer, and that I was not just going to up and leave to L.A., when I am in Chicago, and I have never heard of him, so I would assume it is fake!

Why would they all be tag spamming so many other models, offering them out-of-state work, using the exact same terminology? Sep 30 07 08:05 pm Link yes he'll act as if he is a female model to get other girls involved... ..yes he'll get you to go on trips at your own expense and will try to sleep with you.. ...yes he make you think he loves you......yes he'll kick you out... yes, he will try to control your life.... .. no, youre not the only girl he's sleeping with ... yes, you should get tested... GIRLS, HE'S A LONELY FUCK--- please dont fall for this... it'll ruin you. oh, and by the way--- for those of you wondering... he's 38 years old. thats all. Oct 01 07 01:33 pm Link Sounds like Calvin Merritt, too! Oct 01 07 01:41 pm Link Has anyone filed a complaint with the Florida DPBR or other law enforcement agency about him??? Oct 01 07 01:43 pm Link Jessica ryan wrote: Wow !! Oct 01 07 04:28 pm Link This guy? http://www.myspace.com/dsizzle He sounds like an unintelligent moron to me. But that's just my opinion. Losers will do just about anything to try and hook up with pretty girls. What's sad is some girls actually fall for it.  Oct 01 07 04:42 pm Link LOL Ive gotten a few emails from this guy too, but it was a while ago, I see he's still at it Oct 01 07 05:29 pm Link l Oct 01 07 07:56 pm Link Im so glad i found this. That guy is crazy i dont even know how he got my number so when he called I go. "Get my career started? How much do you pay? Who is this anyways" and he goes "DEAN HONEY! YOU DONT EVEN KNOW WHO THE FUCK I AM? ME PAY YOU?" I was like uhhh....yeah i am a model. Oct 07 07 09:10 pm Link Aptly-named, as they dash models' hopes. Oct 07 07 09:11 pm Link |
