If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is

Did you get the email via the MM mail system or via your regular email?

If you got it via your regular email then it probably has little to nothing to do with MM, and if you got it via your MM Mail, report the user via the Contact - A - Mod link on the info section above: https://www.modelmayhem.com/info.php

Also to lessen the number of scams you are innundated with it is suggested by most experienced members of online communities to *NOT* give out your email address or Instant Messenger ids until you've spoken directly with someone via email in a personal conversation.  You have them right on your MM profile page, I suggest you remove them.
