I was approaxhed via email by someone named RL Shelley from Superior Talent Mgmt./CypherDivine Enterprises. I soon found out that 8 of my girlfriends from differnt areas where also scouted by him with promises of appearing in specific magazines, music videos, etc. He required that we pay him a small fee for comp cards, web pages, etc. So 4 of us did. After we sent him the money to him in Chicago, he kept telling us that he was going to set up these shoots to get all of our pictures done and that he was going to arrange all these meetings for us.
Now he did set up one meeting for us but it was mostly with unknown companies or rather start ups. So one day he approached me with a weird request. He asked if he could use my email account to recruite other models and he would pay me a amall amount to do so at the end of the month. So I was in a tight spot anyway financially so I thought it was no biggie. So after the month came and went, I kept calling him about the money but heard nothing. So I changed my email account passwords and I hadn't used it in awhile.
But what I found out was that he was using my email account acting as if he was me and making negative reports about 2 agencies. So I knew I didn't do this and I didn't want any problems with any companies. So I called RL and kept asking him for my money and why he was using "MY" account to tell people that these 2 companies are alleged scams? Why didn't he use his own account? So when he didn't respond I started going on different modeling chatrooms to find out if anyone had heard of them before? Seems like alot of people have been approached by them via email from the address - ([email protected]) with similar or other scam-like business going on and with RL disappearing or unreachable once money is due.
I contacted my attorney and he is looking into the matter further. I went to All-Star weekend and met a nice guy named KING Magazin. I mentioned what happened and he assured me that the company He didn't Superior Talent Mgmt./CypherDivine Enterprises. But he said he knows the owner of the other modeling company and said they were ok and works with them on the regular. As did another Sean I met from another company. So now here I have two "straight up professionals" who run the magazines I want to be in telling me that the company he made false accusations about, is ok? And now I have these "false reports" under my email account. So I have stopped dealing with Superior Talent Mgmt./CypherDivine Enterprises and I warn all models:
*stay away from superior talent mgmt./cypherdivine enterprises!!! They are the real scam! They make false reports on other real agencies to make themselves look good!
