Foreword, please note that I do NOT suspect that this has anything to do with talentpages.com. I receieved the following e-mail requesting my photos: > Hello, > > > I scout for a modelling agency called Jingle Photo Shop.

I responded saying that it would be $300 for the high-res or a print. After that I got this response: > Send me your face pictures! Then I explained that I did not have a photographer to take a face photo. Then I got this response: > Send me the pictures on Talentpage! I then explained that the photos on talentpages were, as I said, $300 for the high-res or a print. Then I got this response: > Send me the pictures on Talentpage! Then I figured out [email protected] was a bot. I'll let you make conclusions about their motives, though I suspect it's to collect and make fake profiles of accounts on talentpages.com possibly on a different site.
