Would a company claiming to be able to do all these things have a YAHOO account?

Not to mention that Yahoo accounts in Europe don't end in .com
For instance, people in England are yahoo.co.uk, France is yahoo.co.fr, etc etc.
This's one of two things.  He's either going to try & hassle you in to nude photos or nude webcamming, or he'll send you something about how there's this GREAT job in Europe & they're going to send you money orders or checks, and you're supposed to cash them & then wire some of the money back to them to cover your travel expenses to go for a fashion show.
Either way, it's a scam.
If he was legit, he'd have a business e-mail and links to sites where his ID could be verified, and he'd give a physical business addresss & #.

Absolutely. Aside from the bad spelling and grammer, anybody doing unsolicited emails like that knows they're likely to be considered a scam, and takes measures to prove they're the real thing- unless they ARE a scam!
