He messaged me on MySpace about a month ago, and he told me how I was the most beautiful woman he has ever seen. He said how he wanted me to be his "top girl" and how he will book me every job that I could possibly imagine. He said he would be able to offer me free "modeling casting services." He said he would be able to get me really awesome jobs, even some awesome acting jobs! It would be free of charge and he would not even get a commission out of it. 100% of the money from each job, would go directly to me.
He claimed that the way he makes money is: Every job that he books me, the companies will pay him money. (I forgot what he called it.) He then said if he took a commission, then it would be wrong of him. He claims that agents get paid [on top] of their commission, from the companies that they book their models to. And in the ending result, the agent/casting director gets paid more than the model/actress. I am not sure how true that is, but that is how he lured me in.....
So I contacted him via phone and we started to talk modeling.
He told me to get a portfolio consisted of such:
I) At least eight photos of me in bikini
II) At least eight photos of me in two piece lingerie
III) At least eight photos of me in "Clubbing Outfits" - what I wear out to clubs or events
IV) As many other types of photos that I feel that I look my best in.
So this being stated, it seemed like the real deal.
I was searching hard to find a photographer to get my portfolio together. Unfortunately, during the process, almost every day I would get CONSTANT text messages from Vinnie and sometimes he would call, telling me how he wants to be with me, how much he wants to have sex with me, how he can't wait to ravish my body, how much he wishes he could marry me, and so on and so forth. And every time I would tell him: I don't want to have sex with you..... He would get mad and say I was "being mean" to him. Minutes later he would, "forgive me" for being "mean" to him.... and he would talk about modeling again. The harassing would never stop from him. Everyday he would tell me how he wants to fly me to Arizona to spend a weekend with him, so we could have passionate sex together. He also told me I would be able to go to Chicago to have a romantic weekend with him, and in return, he would reward me with a guaranteed 2,500 dollar photo shoot with a man named: Andre Napier.
(I do not know if he knows Andre or if he is just lying. It is possible that Vinnie is just one of those guys who says they know someone in the industry, but is lying just to get into girls pants. There are A LOT of horny guys out there who are just looking to have sex with pretty models. They claim they have connections, but they really don't. Beware of these type.)
I told him I would like to go to Chicago to shoot with Andre (and leave the romantic weekend part out and keep it as a business trip) ONLY if he FIRST booked me a paying job out here in California. I wanted to make sure that this guy was the real deal, before I flew to Chicago WITH a man I had never met in person before, especially a man who constantly tells me how much he wants to have sex with me! (Come on girls, you would do the same thing, right? A guy who contacts you via MySpace offers you spectacular high paying jobs, but the only way you could get those jobs, is if you flew out to Arizona to spend the weekend with him and also fly out to Chicago to spend the weekend with him, where you would receive 2,500 dollars for a photo shoot with an amazing photographer. Wouldn't you be a little bit skeptical? And wouldn't you be more skeptical when you heard him tell you he won't book you, unless you come visit him and have passionate sex with him? Plus, I did not even know that "agents" flew to jobs with you. This was clearly an act of trying to get into my pants. How was I to trust this guy? Especially when everyday he has told me how much he wants to have sex with me!)
All I asked for was ONE booked job out here in California, to prove he is a legit business. I don't think that is much to ask for, especially since he told me in the beginning how extremely marketable I am, and how I would be able to get a job in no time! But Every time I brought up, "Can you book me one paying job out here in California first, before I travel to Arizona or Chicago?" He would always get EXTREMELY frustrated and call me names and tell me how any woman would be HONORED to fly to Chicago and be privileged with a 2,500 paid photo shoot with Andre Napier. Yes, that is true. Any woman would be honored, but any woman would be stupid to just pack their bags and leave to Chicago, with a horny man from Phoenix, who constantly sexually harasses the girl every day.
....I would report the guy, but I don't have any visual proof. He would mainly leave me text messages and once in a while he would call or leave voice-mails, but the messages are all deleted, because of the number of texts and voice-mails I receive daily. I constantly delete my text messages, because I am always getting new text messages from family and friends. I wonder if AT&T keeps a saved archive of all of your text messages. Does anyone know?
....So to continue on..... He kept saying, "It is not even guaranteed to book you a job!" Well no s**t sherlock. Nothing is guaranteed, but it's not like I look like a mop. I am beautiful and EXTREMELY photogenic. It would be very easy to book me at least ONE job. He kept repeating the same things he said before.... How any girl would be privileged to take a trip to Andre Napier, how I'm passing up a great offer, and he would always call me "mean" for saying I wanted to have one booked job, before I travel to Chicago with him. Yet, all I asked him for was to book me one paying job out here in California. I never said I was passing up the offer to go to Chicago. I said I wanted him to prove he was a legit business, by booking me at least one job out here. Is that so much to ask for? He's supposed to be a casting service. In the beginning he said he would book me all kinds of jobs. So why would it be so hard to book just one job for me, out of the so many potential jobs there supposedly are to book me from? So this simply told me either A) He doesn't have the connections he claims he does. B) He doesn't even submit girls, because he is not a licensed talent/model agency or casting service. C) He is a scam. Or/And... D) He does have the connections, but he simply wants sex before you can get those connections (model jobs). Either way, I smelled a SCUMBAG!
Vinnie: Word of advice...... How can you gain anyone's trust if you refuse to submit the models to jobs? You can't expect a woman to "fall for you," especially when you are vulgar and one of the rudest and scummiest guys out there! If you want your company to be successful, then you cannot expect girls to have sex with you in order to get modeling jobs. Because guess what? That would be prostitution! What a scumbag!!! If you want a girl to have sex with you, then do it the old fashioned way! Take a girl on a date! If you're desperate, then get a hooker. Either way, you should not take advantage of girls in this manner. There should be a law against this kind of thing!
This man is nothing but trouble!!!!!!!! He is the rudest guy you could ever possibly imagine, and he is EXTREMELY clingy and weird. He told me plenty of times how in love with me he was and how he wanted to marry me and have sex with me and so on. I JUST met this guy online and he's fawning over me as if he has loved me for 10 years! He is creepy and he WILL NOT book any model a job, unless they have sex him first. So watch out for this loser. He will try to get into your pants!!!!!!!
