personality MGMT? question
hi i was contacted by augusto goutt about modelling placements etc but as I'm not exactly a high fashion model I'm a little dubious about whether its a real email or not he has all the correct websites linked to his email address, and does for the correct things a scout would does anyone know the email address he normally uses to contact people? x Oct 28 14 08:44 am Link here ya go: https://www.modelmayhem.com/po.php?thread_id=925020 also blame you for getting this song stuck in my head: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fe4EK4HSPkI Oct 28 14 07:41 pm Link How did he get your email? Oct 28 14 10:37 pm Link There's some doubt as to the legitimacy of anyone contacting from a throw-away email address with throw away web sites. So long as s/he is not asking for personal information (address, social security number, bank account numbers, that kind of thing) there's no harm in communicating with them. Keep on your toes, and feel it out, I'm sure you're intelligent enough to figure out if the person is truly legit. In short, I wouldn't trust them with more information than they need to do what they're saying... which in your case is a head shot and your telephone number and email address.

Oct 29 14 09:18 am Link dw guys, i found out through another model that the email he contacted me on is legit! I'm on a website where international scouts can find me, I've been scouted a couple of times I'm just surprised its him! x Oct 29 14 06:24 pm Link Please tell him everyone, industry and non industry alike, would prefer if he got a real email address and a real looking web site because he lends legitimacy to those who are out there scamming people Oct 29 14 09:28 pm Link Look, it's this way. This guy's name is all over the web like a rash - BUT he can not be localised. I've looked. I do this for a living. And I can't tell you what the fuck country he is even operating from. It's likely that I cold eventually track him down but why bother when you start coming across bullshit like this [so much for his claimed New York business presence] ex: http://www.my-fashionbank.com/model-age … /6945.html Come on folks. Let's get real here. He has a shit command of the English language, and can't be found on the ground. When it comes to an actual place of business he's the fucking invisible man. He also claims in one breath to be a scout and in another to be an agency [see above]. He can't, as a practical matter, be both.
