Is the model supervisor misspelling the name of her brand?

Location: In your City

Are they going to transport their equipment and staff to the location of each and every model??

Typically the scammer sends you a large check, tells you to retain a small amount as an advance deposit, and tells you to forward the rest of the funds to a third party. The check bounces and your bank removes the entire amount from your bank account.

no, it's not genuine. 6,000 euros x 4 months is 24,000 euros and plenty enough to hire an good agency model for this and the agency would have the proper legal paper work. it's a crazy amount for a unknown freelance model and would have been a totally unnecessary and excessive amount.

two. a real ad agency would know, the model cannot release image for use; it's the photographer that owns the copyright and not the model.

three, if they are only using the face image, they don't need full length shots.

four, there are no reasonable google hits for "average advert"

five, the grammar and writing, even allowing for uk or oz variations and german raised, is very poor and not likely. the punctuation and run on sentences are suspect.
