My name is _________. Am freelance modeling agent
This is a scam. It doesn't matter what name is used. It doesn't matter who they claim they are working for. It doesn't matter what they say the job is, or where it is. It doesn't matter if he can spell. It is a scam. Posting thousands of words and lengthy emails does nothing but waste everybody's time. If you get one of those, it's a scam. We have seen it before. Jun 12 08 05:16 pm Link You mean I am not fashion week material? Or that the money order isnt real, just this one time? Ah, boo! Jun 12 08 05:17 pm Link My name is Inigo Montoya. Am freelance modeling agent. You killed my manager. Prepare to die.

Jun 12 08 05:27 pm Link It doesn't matter if he can spell. The spelling has improved greatly in these scam letters. I think they finally discovered spell check. It's grammar and usage that always gets 'em. Jun 12 08 05:29 pm Link Is it wrong to respond to these scam letters by using the names and SS numbers of assistants I don't like?

There's a couple agencies here in LA that scout MM for models (dinky small agencies, but agencies nonetheless). IIRC the owners themselves have accts and contact girls. Feb 06 13 07:15 pm Link |
