    Default Does anyone else ever get these?

    I guess they come from model mayhem. I get at least one a day from different 'people'. I know they are a scam because they'll sometimes link a MM profile that doesn't exist, and the fact that they request I send money to some stylist. (YEAH RIGHT!) Oh and they also say they work for magazines that my look would not typically mesh with, and say they don't do fetish work... which is what I mainly do.

    Anyway, I'll copy and paste it for your viewing displeasure...

    Looking for escorts on Model Mayhem is not too smart and a low blow to those girls that aren't interested in that type of work. I can only imagine how many girls have freaked out reading such. If you're looking for a job as an escort, your number one source should be



    then

    (look under adult jobs , be very wary though of who you reply to)

    I don't think they were looking for an escort. They said you could bring an escort to the 'shoot'. What they are looking for is someone to 'remit' a payment to their 'makeup artist'. I think they are also fishing for personal information such as home address etc.

    I got one once. Seemed legit until he talked about sending me a big check and then I would pay the stylist, etc from that.Umm no. I ended up getting several large checks sent to me from different names and accounts. I tracked one down and it was an elderly cpl who had NO idea someone was writing checks off their account. They were able to alert their bank and all to stop it from happening because i was able to get in touch with them. Another was a guy who said that $20K had been stolen out of his account this way! I contacted the FBI's fraud/identity theft division and they basically said they didnt care. Nice eh?

    Yeah I kinda went along with the first one of these I got because it was supposed to be for 3,500 dollars so I was like fuck it, I'll see if this is too good to be true. Well I never got a check, and they kept emailing me talking about 'the check you are holding on to', I was like fuck you guys I don't have shit and even if I did I'm not sending money to somebody else out of MY check. (They tried the whole 'remit' thing AFTER they supposedly 'sent' the 'check', which is why I wasn't suspicious at first.)

    That is really sad about the elderly couple! I hate that model mayhem is being infiltrated by these goons. I would report them but their accts close as soon as they open!
