New to MM, scams?
Hello all, So as I have stated in the topic I am a new model to MM. I am aware that many new models get flooded with messages, but I am also having photographers ask to fly me out of state to work with them. Is that normal? Being new, I am just a little skeptical of the photographers out of state that message me. I was not offered cash up front or asked for my login info type stuff, but I am still trying to figure out the legitimate photographers. Pointers would be appreciated - Kendall Jun 29 15 11:36 am Link If you are being asked for login information you should report that to us - Please use the "Flag this PM/Sender" feature found at the bottom of the message. That even gives you the option to include the message that was sent to you so that we can take a look at that as well, no copying and pasting and all links will be intact. Here is info on scams and should help you differentiate scams from legitimate messages - Please see this video and read the article: Avoiding scams: The basics Jun 29 15 01:05 pm Link traviskendall wrote: No. Be careful.

The check will bounce and your bank will hold you responsible for the full amount. Jun 29 15 02:06 pm Link Depends ...on the photographer and the state ... I know for a fact, at least one legitimate Playboy photographer ( special editions ) that pays airfare to come to his location It is quite common to pay airfare for adult work in videos Airfare for basically unknown 'newbie' ... I have no personal first hand experience - Research - References Jun 29 15 02:07 pm Link Its ok if a photographer worldwide says hello, welcome, or nice portfolio. But it is unlikely that they would offer flights, especially to a newish model. So your right to be suspicious! In any case, good luck with your modelling and welcome to MM. Jun 29 15 10:01 pm Link |
