On the other hand, this site ranks pretty high on search engines. Models wondering whether they're being scammed will find these threads and hopefully some good advice.

I'm so glad it WAS posted on here so I didn't fall for the same one! I was iffy because they had no avatar, MM was unable to show their profile ("This member is either awaiting approval or has removed their profile from the site"), and asked me to email someone else instead of replying on MM. I looked up Holly Mccarthy, and that is the name of a real photographer, but in another state. Also the grammar was terrible.

"Hello,
My name is Holly Mccarthy, professional photographer/Manager. I recently went through your profile and i will definitely love to work with you. Well, there's an upcoming photo shoot organized by The Herald Fashion Magazine, and i would really want you to participate in the event. So kindly contact the agent in charge via email: [email protected] for more interesting details regarding the shoot.
Thanks for your time.
P.S
NO NUDITY IS INVOLVED."

They go that far because there are so many people out there who are stupid/gullible enough to believe it.
