Fake profiles
OK...so I'm looking at the main page reading the announcements and what not and I look up and see a picture of one of Jessica's model friends whom I know personally and whom she's worked with. So I am about to say.."Hey Jess, guess who's on MM?" when I see the name...it's NOT the right name. So, then I think OK, MM has made a mistake or something so I go to the profile and see NO, MM has not made a mistake but rather this person has stolen Jessica's friend's photos and decided to use them. The person joined only 2 days ago. Jess left the poser a couple comments. To what end does someone do this? They can't actually be looking for work because this person can't possibly look that much like the actual model, at least not enough to pass off these photos as herself when and IF she get's to work with a photographer here. The girl who's photos were stolen is a minor and I have notified her mother as well as e-mailed a moderator. EDITED: The photo thief has been removed.

What would be the point, especially if you don't really look like that? Hopefully things can be fixed soon. Aug 19 05 09:26 pm Link That was fast. Great work mods. Peggy Aug 19 05 09:33 pm Link My profile is a fake. I actually do runway and glamour, but I secretly want to be an alternative model. Aug 19 05 09:42 pm Link theres a lot of fake profiles, and only a few mods.. so its a daunting task..thats why the site really needs to govern itself... so good catch jes..

On any site, free or paid, there are tons of nutcases to deal with and only a few moderators. Aug 19 05 11:00 pm Link |
