Magic Hand Beads Patricia Behnke Fake Company "fake check cashing job" / "fraud Western Union scam" Roselle, Illinois
Report Attachments
Beware of this company and check cashing scams. Ran across this casting on modelmayhem.com and noticed they were a guest profile. Then when I tried calling a strange man picked up the phone from a number that does not match the address which looks like someone's house on google maps. He then texted me because he didn't want to answer any of my questions. They want to send me a check for a project that has no plan or layout nor has been fulfilled. I couldn't find Patricia's info anywhere from her awards to her TV segment and I'm a publicist too.

I would rather hand the check to the authorities than returning it.Getting threats from them is not something you can consider.Just to show more details about how they run their scam is an email sent to me after getting a check.I hope they will get busted as soon as possible and go to jail who knows how many people they have lied and fool about this.

I got that same letter, found them through MM.
First of all, it doesn't add up. The website is registered to someone in Florida. The money is to be wired to New York. Patricia doesn't seem to have a record....
NOTHING was said about the shoot... why are they paying me before even anything is finalized??? (Much less actually going through with the shoot). Why can't they just send the the $1360 over to NYC themselves?
I'm going to send the check back return to sender.

I have been a member of MM for quite a while.Recently i started browsing to casting/travel pages and reply to few casting that i am interested with.Until one day last week i got an email from Patricia Behnke ([email protected]) congratulating me for being qualified.I was happy and excited about it so we exchanged emails until i started feeling weird about the photo shoot project and decided to ask more questions.From that she tried to convince me that this project is real..still i asked more questions to make sure that i will be safe..Yesterday i got a check from them and an email explaining on what to do with it...I was instructed to in cash it and keep half of the payment we talked about for the shoot and send of $1360 to the other person that live's in New York which they said I will be getting the outfit's.I am glad i talked to my husband and have him double check the check that was sent to me.He suspected it was a scam and so we called the bank and found out that the account doesn't exist...I decided to share this to make sure ModelMayhem will be aware and so everyone else will be inform.I don't want anyone to get hurt and i want everyone to be safety.i tried to look for forum where i can share this story but i cant find it so i decided to do it this way...

I got check from them about their Project 7 days ago and send more for my attires , their crew's came over to my city for the photo shoot as promised by their Representative Robert as my supervisor . I never encounter trouble with them and they contact me for another shoot next week but was scared when i was searching for anyone company who sent message and I came across Magic hand beads Post of being Fake . I need someone to help me out because I'm really confused and dont know if i should accept their second job offer
