Hi Everyone!,

I woke up to which I thought was a great Job offer from "Hello Magazine". After research I learned that Hello Magazine is a real and running Magazine but someone is using their link to back up a Job Offer (SCAM) to get you to pay out a Wardrobe Stylist and get all Your account information. I've been in the industry for 13 years and seen these emails before and have heard from people who have fallen so such a Scam.
Detailed below is the Original Email that this Person Sent.  If you get an email like this. Flag it, or forward it to the Police or something. BLOCK THEM!

HOPE THIS HELPS ANY NEWBIES OR FRANKLY ANYONE OF THE FRAUD AND DANGERS THAT LIES WITH THESE EMAILS. THEY ALSO GOT MY INFO FROM MODELMAYHEM! THIS IS WHY I WANTED TO SHARE THIS WITH YOU GUYS!

HAVE A BLESSED DAY!

It's one of the regulars but thanks for warning the newbies that may not have seen it before.  These are, as you rightly suspected, not in any way related to MM.  The problem is that anyone can see your MM portfolio so if your contact information such as a phone number, email address or website is listed in your profile, they can make the connection and claim falsely that they are in some way connected to MM. 

There is a way to beat them, though.  Just go to My Stuff (upper right corner of your screen) then click on Settings, then Profile Privacy and select either Members Only or Members and Recruiters.  Then you will no longer be visible to the general public.  If you want the general public to see your profile and portfolio, then it's wisest to not include your contact information in your profile.  Just let folks contact you via MM's private message service.  If you have your MM name posted elsewhere, though, they will still be able to connect the two, but at least you'd be making it harder for them.

All IMHO as always, of course.

Yes, I was just sent an email from them as well in which I gave up my address and telephone number.

I am highly upset.... I knew I should of looked through the forums before I gave them my address.

Remove your email from your profile! It is visible to every scammer in the world, and is an invitation to them.
Don't reply to any you get, & certainly don't give further info!
