Top 11 ways to spot a scammer: by: Dave Hall

11) They post for a long time on forums and never have any new photos to show, and they still don't have photos of other online models.

10) They're big on freebie email addresses.

9) They don't have a website or they use a freebie. If somebody can't afford $20 a month for a website...

8) They won't give you a listed phone number.

7) They don't have verifiable references.

6) They post under fake names, or pretend they're a model when they post.

5) They start their own forums when they get banned off monitored forums.

4) They're emailing you photos because they don't want to get caught with their stolen photos on a web site.

3) They don't post on forums, because they'll get nailed right off by people who know better.

2) They say they have some big staff working for them

And the number ONE way to spot a scammer: 1) They steal a known website and make it their own A couple of major clues that a guy wasn't legit (without having to go through the hassle of the instant messenger conversation): 1) Free email address 2) Free website Any person claiming affiliations would certainly be able to afford $25/mo. or so to maintain a real website. And, considering such an individual would obviously be using the internet as a talent resource, he should DEFINITELY have such a site! Additionally, all legitimate photographers -that I know of- provide the models with a real phone number and a real, verifiable physical address upon contacting the model.
