Stating that he works for Chanel , Inc. and that they want me to come and shoot for them. Following , if they like the way I pose I could be signing a year contract. Most importantly I was told that I would be sent a check for about two grand , to take out three hundred for traveling fees and to send the rest to the make up artist. I was told in detail instructions about now until leading up to that day. Arrangements as far as when to be there and ready , things to do before the shoot , where exactly to go. I was basically given a really persuasive full detailed description of how this was going to happen. It isn't for another couple weeks and I want to know if it sounds like a scam. They addressed me by my first name. Explained the payment process of how they do for the hour. They explained I wouldn't have to pay , also papers I would have to print & sign to take with me the day of the shoot. Told to get mani & pedi. It sounds extremely legit and I am more than excited. But I'm new to this, and I don't want to fall into anything dangerous.
