Has anyone here heard of this or are any of you involved in this project?

I just found an advertisement about its model search so I'm wondering if anyone can tell me anything else about it or even its legitimacy...
Maybe I'm a tad bit too cautious.
Maybe I just feel as though it's "too good to be true". 
Or maybe it's all those photographers that have already made me uneasy...

Anyway, I answered for kicks and hopes and have gotten a response back to meet with them.  Guess I'll find out then if noone gets back to me beforehand.

And I know someone's going to ask me about this so...

"Ladies, we are looking for a few top models, no height requirement. This campaign will push the Versace fragrance line across the country in an explosive way this is last minute push for the remainder of the year for the holiday’s, models that really excel will be placed on a one year assignment. We are looking for models to handle promotional, print and spoke model jobs. This campaign will test your skills at the highest level. Each model pre selected will receive fly free passes to Paris. This is a major campaign, non serious inquires please, we repeat please don’t apply. All models will receive top training. All models once pre selected and all paperwork is completed will receive a package with the Versace fragrance. The Versace fragrance comes from a long line of history, established by one of the most explosive designers of our time. Each model will display this level of commitment. We will select models on the spot, if we like your picture and personality after we talk to you, you will begin on this historic campaign within 24 hours. We have hired one of the best marketing / business experts in the industry to launch this campaign, please email your pictures or web link today. Ladies, good luck."

My mom always says "If it's too good to be true, it probably is."

Yeah.  My mom always said that, too.

That's why I'm really wary.

I mean:  Why would they not hire through an agency or something?  And why wouldn't there be a height requirement?

Granted, I've seen the recent ads for Versace and they're cropped and Photoshopped to pieces but still...

I think if they were having a big model search for it they would have posted it on their website.

No professional would use the word "Picture"
