I found a casting call on Model Mayhem, stating they were looking for girls for a fashion shoot. High Fashion is my dream, and they said they were paying $5000. So, I thougt, why not? I sent my professional pictures and let them know I was interested. A couple days later, this is the email I received:
CLIFF WORLD PHOTOS

Clearly a scam, and if I didn't have experience in the modeling industry, I could have possibly fallen for this. I know many young girls that are aspiring to be models, that would have given out their very personal information and could have gotten into a lot of trouble.
This guy/company needs to be stopped!
