Scammer - Autographs
haha. yep, I've gotten that email before. They've been sending out that email for years! May 13 13 03:31 pm Link Its amazing what scams people will come up with. May 13 13 03:32 pm Link I've had a few different people ask for autographed prints via facebook but they never said anything about poor Kenny  May 13 13 07:46 pm Link Thanks for the heads up!! May 28 13 06:17 am Link I've actually been contacted by them 2 years ago. They actually mailed me the prints they wanted signed and I signed them and mailed them back. Weird May 28 13 08:23 am Link I just got an email this morning. Looks like the scam is going strong!

Jun 03 13 05:00 am Link http://buffalo-il.cannonads.com/14210/h … 21246.html That's at least one of the places the guy uses to sell the autographs. Aug 03 13 01:41 pm Link Clearly MBA school was a waste - I never imagined the opportunity to make mega $$$ selling autographed photos of random non-famous people at the flea market. And to whomever said he could cash in if one day that person did become famous - statistics class was useful in MBA school.

He's been getting free stuff from anyone and everyone by pretending to be a veteran or a person recovering from surgery, sometimes he even claims to be a woman getting stuff for her poor husband... Then he turns around and tries to sell it. Take the info for what it's worth. Aug 06 13 11:39 am Link I got an email the other day to much the same effect (but a LOT longer - I won't paste it all here!) The address to send to was UK based, Leeds to be precise. I then got a message on facebook to my fanpage (sometimes I wish they never turned that feature on...ugh) from a guy with a completely different name but signed the same name as used on the email - Nicola Poole. [email protected] is the email address the autograph request was sent from. Aug 11 13 08:28 am Link The problem I have with the idea of scams like this is that a celebrity autograph will almost never be worth anything these days. Most of these celebs sign hundreds if not thousands of things a year, some of them do it for $20-30. They use it as a revenue stream. With that many signed pictures/items out there, most of these things will never be rare or valuable. About the only way I see such things ever becoming worth something is if that photo/print is a limited print-run of a somehow desirable or iconic image of them or if the autograph is on an object of special significance (like Johny Manziel signing the ball used in the A&M v Alabama game from last year or something similar).

Aug 23 13 11:28 pm Link Fairly certain my boyfriend's band did this -_- It sounds really familiar so I'll have to ask him about it. Thanks for the heads up, though. What a nutjob! Who pretends to be have a sick husband to get free autographs and sell them? Awful.

Thank You Very Much Kenny Kenny Thrun 40 Clifford Street Buffalo New York USA 14210 Feb 22 14 07:44 pm Link they just wrote me claiming to be a disabled veteran. My family is military. I feel sickened. Mar 21 14 09:58 am Link yeah i got one of those too: (the thing that really gets me is that I am actually a vet. So this almost got me. I love other vets and always donate to the disabled vet fund. This is really disgusting) " Dear Agatha, Hi my name is Kenny. I'm writing to you because I saw your profile on Model Mayhem.

Thank You Very Much Kenny Kenny Thrun 40 Clifford Street Buffalo New York USA 14210" Funny thing is..I am SO NOT famous! he's prolly loose $$ trying to sell my autograph lol Mar 23 14 09:23 am Link OMG I was almost scammed this way! It was labeled "Female Model Born Before 1993" and it was this LONG elaborate letter from a supposed woman in the UK with an ailing husband who said he was a fan an wanted my autograph. I just thought someone's either trying to steal my identity or do something that takes my notarized authorization. Apr 02 14 12:15 am Link I just got the email - it very strange and weird....

Thank You Very Much Kenny Kenny Thrun 40 Clifford Street Buffalo New York USA 14210 Apr 04 14 05:03 am Link interesting . I'm glad I googled this name and this forum came up. Just received the same email except stating that he is a disabled vet. Interesting. Thanks for the heads up. Jun 17 14 07:36 am Link I got the kenny as a disabled vet email. They actually went to my website, and submitted it in th contact section. I was like no way someone wants my autograph lol Oct 30 14 05:55 pm Link I suffered a severe hand injury last month & I'm now disabled because of it. Ok maybe I'm exaggerating abit but it was a really nasty paper cut that required the use of a large band aid & it hurt really bad! So will all you beautiful models please take pity on me & send an autographed pic? I would be much obliged  Nov 01 14 09:23 am Link lol, I had an autograph request years ago... I Wonder how that could even sell? I mean, who wants that shit? Nov 02 14 12:16 pm Link That's why you don't post your email then you don't have to worry about scammers :-) Nov 02 14 03:01 pm Link Just got this email lol now I feel special!  My response Please deposit $125 into my PayPal account. Use this email address Nov 06 14 10:35 am Link I JUST received this email to my Gmail account. I got the Army vet version. Sigh...hope that the guy really is a vet...false valor is a felony. Nov 21 14 10:43 am Link I just got the email too dude 3 years later & kenny thrun still running the same scams? that makes me think that this email works on some poor girl out there, somewhere lol smh Dec 03 15 07:58 pm Link I really doubt if this guy sells any significant number of his obsessively collected photos. As someone else in this ancient thread pointed out, autographed photos of random people are not usually very valuable. Some people are just deep end OCD about paper items. I used to have a guy who bought about 150 photos from me online over about a three year period. I didn't want to question it because I was afraid to stop the trickle of cash coming in, but I finally asked what was up. He just liked getting the photos in the mail. He'd look at them once and then put them in files in a storage locker. He said that he thought that he had over 5,000 photos. He abruptly stopped about six months later. I'm guessing that he died or his wife found out about his picture collection. Dec 03 15 08:33 pm Link Yep - apparently he/she/they are still at it. Just got an email from a '[email protected]' saying: Dear Erika, Hi my name is Kenny. I am writing to you because I saw your profile on Model Mayhem. I think that you are very beautiful. I am disabled and a veteran. I am collecting autographs of models. I would like to ask if you could please send me an autographed photo. If you could I would be forever grateful to you.

Thank You Very Much Kenny Kenny Thrun 40 Clifford Street Buffalo New York USA 14210 I always get emails about things likes this and ALWAYS search their name to make sure there is nothing on them, now found this whole thing.
