|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board Did anyone else get ths strange request?? Yamil Sued, Photographer, Photo Editor Peoria | AZ | USA | Posted: 12:24 PM on 10.23.10 ->> I just got this this morning and I was wondering if anyone else got it too: " My name is XXXXXXX, I am a freelance modeling agent working for the XX XXXXX Comp. I am agent in recruiting models, Make Up artist and Hair stylist for the upcoming 2010 Magazine edition. I need a photographer in your city to work with which i came across your profile while surfing the internet and i feel you will be good enough to work with. I presently have good offer for you. I want you to know if you are interested in working with us in this End of the year upcoming edition of XX XXXXX XXXXXX Magazine. You stand a chance of making reasonable $700 in a day work from your studio or any studio around you and even a noticeable fame. Let me know if you are interested in this offer and I would give you further details. Get back to me as soon as you can." It does sound like a Scam to me, but....  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I sent him a note and said "It's too bad that I'm only 'good enough' for you. I guess we will not be working together. Sorry." Yes, it's a scam.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
