Uk Modeling scam:
This particular scam has an international flair!
Stop me if you have heard this one before;
Here it goes;
Through Hollywood North I was contacted by someone using the name of
a magazine company based in the UK that went belly up,
In this case it is Merricks Media.

You are receiving this email because our review team saw your portfolio here and
decided that you'd be an asset to our upcoming shoot this year.
We are looking to relaunch the magazine after a spell which we have had change in
directors,we are now back and better and looking to hit the UK public this quarter.
Our investment analysts believes relaunching with a theme that gives the UK public
what they want coupled with careful timing plus the element of surprise were none
of our competitors are expecting it will maximize our profits.
The total pay for the 4 day shoot is £4000,we know this is an awkward fee to pay a
new model during this recession but we want to send a message to the industry that
we are here to stay,once they find out we spent that much they will know we are
ready to invest in talents and stay in the industry for a long time,this will show our
intended subscribers that their investment in us is safe and secured and more
importantly that we are here to stay.
We are looking to diversify with this photo shoot by bringing together models from
different origins and backgrounds,mixing culture,way of life and ideals,and
hopefully putting all this qualities into our magazine thereby showing the industry
the pure beauty every human possess.

Briggs at US office on 206-436-4473 or send an email to
merricks_media@yahoo.com that you are interested.
***Several emails down the line they request thousands of dollars.
These are templates and they send the same set of emails out but only change the names!!
I found a thread online exposing them!
Read it and consider yourself informed !!
I plan on spreading the word about this far and wide,
there is no telling how much money they have stolen in the process!

This is jlickens mom, first of all, the spelling is an important clue.... if spelling is incorect, I'd be weary, sure we all do typos... fingers too fast on keyboard ect. but "there" for "their"???
The shooting will hold at rented studio???? Come on...please don't tell me you're not questioning this. Maybe in some desolate warehouse where no one can hear you scream.
Good Luck and be careful |

we at FTV are willing to take in selective models, in whom we see potential.

models per job, in return we expect our models to stay contracted with us.
Now if you are interested, fill in the below details and provide pics in the

moles, stretch marks ... will be recorded based on these pics.
Attire to be used: Underwear or Lingerie and Swimsuit's + Dresses & Skirts (Try
to have a variety of costumes in different cuts/styles)
We will also be paying attention to the way you stand and mold your body for the
shots. In addition the way you use props, your hands and your feet. Do note we
do all kinds of shoots but the majority work is Lingerie/Underwear.
Based on all these inputs we shall decide to train you and offer you a job.
Unlike professional models the pay will be very petite till we see improvements.
Accordingly it will increase. The basic is $60 per hour with a minimum booking
