Promotions One LTD Fake Myspace Modelling Scam Dallas TX Internet
I was contacted by a fellow user named as John Slogan on myspace recently.
In the email it states he is interested in my photos and they were doing a shoot in Mexico City on the 13th of September.
Now to cut the story short.
I was obviously suspicious this might have been a scam.
Running around myspace and having private messages sent and not on the myspace comments itself.
I delayed my response and just added him to myspace and do abit of investigation.
I noticed the myspace account was only created a week earlier as well as the compnay name was not displayed anywhere on the Internet.
To gain some more information he once again responded to my 'Add a friend' then he sent a similar private message back to me stating to almost the same thing.
So I responded and he sent me the information and application form.
I did not respond to the application form or fill it out.
Instead I delayed the response again to do some further investigation.
Few days later I received another email from to the called representative with further information of where the shoot was to take place.
Only this time I had a website I could look at.
Now first thing I noticed on the website.
I was poorly done, and as a computer tech, if the Agency was running for for 4 years successfully they would have had the money to afford a better and clearer website design.
2nd thing I noticed the ad banner located on the top left of the screen was in a foreign language, now only free DNS sites will display this unless payed for which a a real Agency would pay to clean their layout for their clients and customers.
3rd thing.
In the email the address was [email protected] now an Agency would have paid to have their own email address such as [email protected].
4th
The application form was in a dodgy plain text.
A Proffessional agency would have invested in a decent application form with their logo attached and stamped onto it.
5th
The user's Myspace account was deleted 2 times and the user re-added me to their friend list.
And so what I did was I did a search of the Location of the company address to verify it. I Noticed it was also registered to another company which was a Lawyers firm.
Then I did a search for the phone number which was also provided which lead me to this page.

and I have finally concluded this was a scam.
