I received a message from a new member Hannah Coles suggesting a paid modeling opportunity for Hello Magazine offering $600.00

Was she a MM member?  I'll bet that her account has been cancelled.

they wanted to mail out a $2,000.00 check to me and have me return the left over money. The bank caught the check as being FAKE

This is always a scam.  You didn't even need to go to the bank.

Anything that's wanting to send you money then have you return part of it, run away from.  Good that you where able to catch it before sending money back.

Didn't the red flag go up right away on this one? It had scam written all over it!!!

I literally got the exact same message >< yeah way too many grammatical errors and usually when they don't address my name anywhere in the message I usually assume it's a scam >.<

Strongly advise that you remove your email from your profile!
It is visible to every scammer in the world, and is an open invitation to them!
Do not trust any of the many outside emails you will now be getting! Do not reply to them!
Use MM's private messages with members, and be very selective about sharing your email!

You haven't been paying attention.  It's a scam.  There is no money.
