Watching and Knowing What's a Scam

Don't get scammed. It happens...

So this is what you will you look like and feel after you get scammed. Stupid, angry, sad, embarrassed, maybe poor, and just straight pissed off. But!! There are some preventative ways! Let's get smart people!

LETS START

Trust Fall

Problem with today's world is trust. Trust is a big factor and should always be considered. Modeling is like a trust fall (picture above). You do not know the people so you have a fear of risk getting hurt from the fall. So you might wanna gain some trust to give you THAT PEACE OF MIND!!


There are so many things out there that we cannot trust and sometimes we take for granted some things. There is a high rate of 88% scams (http://www.toponlinescams.com/) within the year, whether buying pills to help you grow taller (there is not such thing lol) or buying a new stolen car. In this case, we are just focusing on modeling scams and is in fact in my opinion one of the easiest ways to be scammed.

So here is an Example of scam

Okay so I'm thinking at first "Brigget Road" or who ever she/he/it is real and this might be legit. Come to find out, it was a rouse. I clicked on her profile and it said it was deleted. So I am like "okay...?" I emailed back from the email address provided and yes I am FOR SURE it was a scam. 

The person (Brigget) supposedly requested personal information that you should never give out such as:

•  Name
•  Contact Number
•  Address
•  State
•  Bank Information
•  etc. 

NEVER GIVE THAT TYPE OF INFORMATION OUT!!!

1. Check Your Source See if the offer is real. Do more research on the industry, agency, etc. See if your friends know about it or someone. Best way is to definitely GOOGLE it. Check the website, address, and possibly talk to someone that knows the knowledge about what ever you are getting yourself in.
2. Do Not Give Out Personal Information It would be imperative not to give personal information out. Especially when you are uncertain and what ever you are doing can cause a risk.
3. Do Not Make ANY AGREEMENTS Even though we might be the victims of a harmless crime, by law we can only do so much to be safe. Contracts can be a very bad thing. Always consult with someone about it before you take any action and see if what you are getting yourself into is legit.
4. Be SAFE It's a cold world out there and people will do anything to scam you. Most scams are harmless until someone gets hurt. Be on your safe side and do not take any risks.

So here is another example of a scam

Okay so about the top picture above on the email, I was contacted about doing some model/photography work. So I am like, this is different. BUT LOOK!! They gave me a number!! What do I do? I call it, and you know what? When I called it, it was a out of the country number. WTF!?!?

So the website looked legit because I am very well aware of Chadwick Models Inc. But there agency is located in Australia. So why the freak are they contacting me in the U.S to do some model work. That's BULL!!

So here's another one!!

So these should make sense right now. By now you should know what a scam is!!
