He said I wouldn't have to worry about anything like that.

I have a friend who used to have a shoplifting problem.  Sometimes he'd have something new, and I'd ask him where he got it.  When he bought it he'd tell me, but if he stole it, he'd say, "Don't worry about it."

Just saying...

Yes, the onesourcetalent.com website or company is by people whose background is leadership at franchises for the Wilhelmina Scouting Network scam, a web-based advertising service, the biggest modeling scam in American history, subject of constant complaints--over 2,000 at the Florida Attorney General's office alone--and about 900 at the Orlando Better Business Bureau.)

They not only scammed models into paying $1,000 to put their picture on the WSN website, they also scammed sales people whom they called "model scouts." They used to run 1,500 job ads on Monster.com before Monster pulled them all following a Newsweek investigation.

The scam was making job-seekers believe they would make all kinds of money if they only worked for 90 days, but they fired everyone before the 90 days were up, so they didn't get paid and/or didn't stick around to earn a salary. It was all on commissions. They talked about "career" and a ton of lies--the BBB asked them to substantiate their job ads--but they couldn't.

... Crazy, yes? Bad people everywhere.
When I want to check someone's credentials I search them on google. If you put the name of the person/company and the word scam in there and nothing pops up, and their references check out clean, then you should be ok.. but always do your homework!!!
