Hello,
I appreciate your interest on this assignment, I just want you to know that our client has assured me that part payment will be mailed to you, until you receive and confirm payment we will not shoot, your total pay for the job is $1300 as I said earlier and upfront part payment of $300 will be mailed to you first and the balance of $1000 in cash immediately after the shoot. regards your poses just practice the one you know for now as time goes on before the shooting date there will be someone to practice with you and teach you more pose and styles because this catalog will be publish world wide this may be your open way opportunity.
If you agree to take this job and will obey all rules and regulation that will be giving to you on this assignment get back to me with the following information below:
Name in full:Full Address:City:State:Zip code:Country:Phone number:Email address:Nationality:Date of Birth:Height:Weight:Waist size:Clothing Size:Shoe size:Three photograph of your self:
Also she said after we confirm the part payment, as you know the shoot date has been fixed to be held on 7th of May 2011 let me know if the date is ok for you. Make-up, hair etc would be taken cared of at the Studio as we are presently deliberating with some studio agents over location, remember you can come along with anyone of your choice.
You have 12 different fashion outfits to cover as I already mentioned which would be provided by our client on the day of the shooting, most type of clothing will be Jeans and Jackets.I hope all is well stated, make sure you get back in touch with the above required details at once thank you.Regards.
FIRST EMAIL:
The spacing and the email format is suspicious, the grammar is horrible and modeling agencies and bookings would most likely NOT present the expenses and pay so forward. They are offering $1300 for an amateur like me. NOT right....
SECOND EMAIL:
They would be sending me $300 in the mail after I provide them with all my information????
hmmmmmm now at this point if the light bulb in your head has not clicked yet...I don't know what to tell you. After I read this, I received another EXACTLY email from a guy named Ralph. Man how much more obvious can they get? As the light bulb in my head lit up, ring ring**** SCAM written all over it! So I went online and typed in "modeling scams" on Google and I found these sites and forums:

PLEASE look at them for any future incidents you might run into.
SOMETHING I ALWAYS REMEMBER:
NEVER GIVE OUT YOUR INFORMATION such as :
Think carefully and STAY SAFE!!!!!
