I received the same email! Exact same other then he said they would pay me 18,000 euro (or equivalent) I thought it was too good to be true also...
But as for the spelling, I don't think there is a correct way to spell it as it is their company name.

"Novis" is not the way to spell novice. That email screams scam.

Then their company name is a mistake. There is a correct way to spell it, and that ain't it.

'I work for Dubetant Advertisement as a freelancer. We are looking for pictures of Novis, Amateurs models, Photographers, Comedians, and Actors on internet as we cannot afford to pay top professional models.

My client is seeking a picture which will be put on its "International Telephone Calling Card" billboard/poster to be displayed in western Europe.

Your picture fits what we want and that is the main reason why I contacted you. Your face will only appear on the billboard.


The old saw, if it sounds too good to be true...  I get emails for this all the time, telling me that they like my photos and would like to use them on this or that ad and that they will pay me a ton of money when the product is finished.  They often ask if I have a photo of this or that.  Just to mess with them, I ask for some  good faith money upfront, to be counted against my final payment.  I never hear back.
Pictures of the poster will be sent to you before it is launched in April 2013.'

It's a possibility -- a remote possibility -- that the owner's name is Dubetant. Fred Dubetant. But given that they're looking for patsies models, the word they're most likely trying to use is debutante.

If only we could ask Fred Dubetant directly.

Their next step, is to send you a check you are to deposit in your checking account to use to buy plane tickets and a large down payment on your contract.  They will instruct you to purchase the tickets, take your down payment and sent the remainder to their MUA or other person.


Of  course what happens is that in a day or so their check bounces and you're out the money you paid for tickets (although they may be refundable), but you are certainly out the "remainder" of the money they theoretically sent to you.

That's exactly what they were counting on.
