I got an email to my personal email account from someone named Daniel Mills. Saying he's interested in my photography and some models I have worked with. He's said he would like me to photograph some of these girls for "Jurgita Magazine." It wasn't a very well structured professional looking email, but hey I hardly write anything professional looking myself.

I did a quick search and came up with http://www.jurgita.com/, looks semi reasonable, I was just curious if anyone has heard of this magazine, and if this is a reputable offer, or some scam.

I did email the guy back for more information, I'm curious! hmm

*update*

Nevermind found out on Jurgita he's a fake...

Don't know what you are talking about. Does not really matter. It's a scam. Look at any recent letter you received. See those two letters before the zip code? That's why it's a scam.

Anyone who has a website and calls it a magazine is most likely not worth dealing with ---

A) It's a well known email scam and you should not trust those kinds of "offers" you get in your email.

B) Make sure you don't have your email address posted on your profile or you'll keep getting more of these.

If you feel you must further bump a thread because someone else bumped a very old thread, please make sure your post contributes more than the one you're complaining about.

Thank you.
