Jame Valley
GQ Magazine Editor FAKE GQ MAGAZINE JOB OFFER

I am a member of Model Mayhem, a networking site for models, photographers, makeup artists, hair designers, clothing designers, etc. I want to warn all the hopeful girls out there that the man who calls himself James from GQ Magazine is a scam artist. He sent me a message via the networking site offering me a significant amount of money to do a photoshoot for GQ Magazine. I emailed him back and he went on to instruct me to send him my mailing address so that he may mail me a check, in which I was told to deposit into my bank account immediately and to proceed to forward a portion of the check to the makeup artist, hair designers, and clothing designers whose information would be provided to me.
1.) This is a classic scam where the check he would mail me would bounce after I would have already sent off my personal checks to the makeup artist, hair designers, and clothing designers. Thus, costing me the hundreds of dollars that would have been promised to me and money that had been sent off to fake addresses for this "James" person to help himself to.
2.) This person doesn't even have a GQ Magazine email address. Its a gmail address. I work for a magazine and my email address has the magazine's name as the domain, not gmail or yahoo.
3.) His messages and emails are written extremely unprofessionally. Any hot shot at a magazine wouldn't be so sloppy and idiotic with his spelling and grammer. Not only that, he sent me FOUR messages through the site over the course of 2 months telling me how urgent it was for me to send him my information because he would only be in town for 3 days the following week from London. He didn't even remember that I had already rejected him FOUR times.
4.) I hope this miserably greedy awful person gets what is coming to them. I believe in God and kharma. For such a monster to prey on girl's hopes and dreams like this, he should go to Hell.
Thank the Lord that I screened this person through an information technology specialist I know. I was able to avoid being scammed and I hope you too can avoid it.
