Not sure if anyone else was emailed this. I looked them up on google and didn't get much of an answer on to wether this is a con or pro. The paid price made it a little fishy.

Recieved as following message in my gmail inbox:

This is Mr Rodney Billingsley, the project Director of NEWDAWN AGENCY LLC, based in London, United Kingdom.

One of my clients has requested for about 40 beauty models for a modelling show that will be hosted in London by next month, and the nature of the job will include:

Lingerie,
swimwear,
fashion,
beauty,
tradeshow,
fitness,
commercial print and
runway.

My Agency is contacting you to be part of this modelling show based on the statistics in your profile. Our client has proposed to pay the sum of $15,000 (Fifteen Thousand US dollars only) to each of the participating models for the modelling show which has a 5 (five) days durations. Also, an additional Up-front payment will be paid which will cover your flight tickets and other miscelleanous expenses.
If you are interested we are expecting your immediate response.
Do email me 6 (six) recent photographs of yours and Resume.
Regards.

Any legitimate proposition would involve much more detail to the project and never mention compensation right off the bat.

Besides if they're an agency why wouldn't they use the models the represent rather than models in an entirely different continent?
