ATTENTION ALL AVON REPS
I received a request through the avon website. Seemed legitimate - he knew about all the taxes and the 75c customner fee. I then contacted the person and they sent me this email.
Dear Avon Representative,
Thank you for your swift response to my inquiry. I will be handling a modeling agency for scouting and securing
contracts for upcoming and established models in the fashion, advertising and magazine industries. And the models are due to arrive
in the States for a series of photo shoot sessions and meeting face to face with different executives in the business terrain.in light of
this, i have decided to patronize you for the supply of the various Avon cosmetics for the duration of the Models stay
Please, I would need you to get these items for me:
BOND GIRL 007 FOREVER Eau de Parfum Spray 215-651... (1)
ANEW ULTIMATE Age Repair Elixir 390-603... (2)
ANEW ULTIMATE Age Repair Night Cream 960-892... (1)
Pink Quartz 859-875 qty... (1)
Black 455-475 qty... (2)
Let me know the Subtotal of the above product, plus processing fee including the Tax fee the sponsors need to pay on it. I would need to know this information in your next email, plus your name and address you want the payment sent to and also a phone number the sponsor can reach you on. After I get the information I would instruct the sponsor to facilitate the payment immediately so that you can make this order as fast as possible.

This order was for OVER TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS!!! I got a very bad feeling about it! I immediatly contacted my avon team leader and she said it seems really weird and shady to her as well. I then sent a response to this person suggesting that we meet in person and that i will only place the order if I recieve cash upfront. He then responded by saying that his "sponsor" would mail me a money order. I stood firm on the cash only basis and never heard back from him.
Do not be taken in by anyone posing to be from a modeling agency!!!
