If you're really really desperate to send money to a stranger, I'd rather you sent it to me.  No fake emails or false promises from me, I guarantee you won't get anything for your money.

Damn I was going to make the same offer.

Paying to be in a show doen't make sense, any you have to travel out of the country! 

I'm not sure but there may be some large gatherings in the states to get models and agencies together, spend your dollars going to something like that instead.

1. it's a scam
2. it's a scam because it asks for money upfront
3. if it's not a scam, why waste your time with people asking for money? there are plenty of fashion shows that YOU (yes, you) can be compensated for...in the form of money, tears, exposure, etc.

Pass on it
