I just received a call from a Richard Turner. I got an email from him asking for my contact information two days ago, and received the call today. I had submitted for a swim wear catalog. The email did have swim wear spelled incorrectly, which gave me a little pause.
He says they are casting 4 models, and out of 17 models I was the number one pick. I would have to pay my own airfare, from Seattle to Florida, where the shoot is held, to meet with the casting directors. I would have my hotel room paid for, and would be reimbursed the cost of the flight if booked.
After reading this, and a similar report on ModelMayhem, I don't think I'll be calling back. I'd like to hear from the author and see if she had a similar conversation, or if you were local and just drove. I don't want to miss an opportunity to further my career, but I also don't want to be out close to $4k to be scammed.
Please respond to me, with more information or advice. It is Friday and he told me to call him back Monday morning. Thank you!
