Hey there. Thanks for taking a moment to read this. I'll try to keep it brief.
I was contacted by a photographer and he emailed me a pretty long and what seemed to be a professional photography. The profile no longer exists on MM and in the email they linked their photography website which seemed legitimate to me. Any feedback on LifeTime PhotographyNY would be great. Just seems too good to be true but I do not want to ignore anything that could be a good opportunity so I thought I'd ask you guys.
Thank you!

Well not on MM any more. What was the web site or e mail.. .....@yahoo etc..
They most often want to send you a big check and ask you to use half to pay someone and the check is no good.

Appreciate it. They said they would pay some up front then some extra for clothing. Would have to send the extra to someone...

Yep, it's called the Nigerian Scam--They send you a check, you send part of it on to their cohorts and then their check bounces and you are out the money you sent plus a bad check fee.  Be glad you didn't bite.

In all probability the account was removed by the Mods the first time it was reported to them.  The Mods take a lot of grief from some of the members, but frankly they are on top of most problems the instant they hear about them.  Whenever you get something that looks like a scam, contact them by clicking on the help button on the upper right corner of your screen.

If it sounds too good to be true, it is.
