Modeling Scams

Naive Guys Go Overboard Easily. Guys get all desperate and take the first offer that comes their way after adding their snapshot to a modeling directory. It is like a guy going home with a fat girl 10 minutes after arriving at a bar. Don't get desperate. Make decisions based on your career goals: if you want to appear in a fitness magazine like Fitness RX, then work toward that goal. Side-tracking your goals each time you receive an email from a stranger allows others to control your career. Instead of listening to what the photographer wants you to do, tell them what YOU want YOU to appear in. Make good decisions, not desperate decisions.

It is easy to tell new models to not get scammed. However, what does that mean to a new model? Simply: Do not pay for anything more than $30.
