She is still going strong. HAppened today (18th nov). She was well unproffesional and thats what got me thinking. She did not even know my name just asked if I had contacted a modelling agency. She asked if I was near a PC and right away mentioned the 39.99 :) When I asked for the website, she said she'd need to walk me through. I said someone was on my PC and would call her back in30 mins. She gave me that number (212 920 7013). Is there no way this kind of rubbish can be stopped or steps taken? Rememeber people, NO modelling agency that wants to represent you will ask for any money. After all, they are gonna be paying you!

Basically the same thing just happened to me.  I got a voicemail on my cell phone telling me to call this number.  She said they were looking for models for catalog work and said it would be $39.99 to sign up.  She offered to walk me through the process of signing up.  When I asked for the website she said it wasn't open to the public and to call back when I'm ready to sign up.

Very shady.  Definitely a scam.

Still going ...I already got scammed and paid them the money. I responded to a different ad on craigslist and she just called me twice. The number she calls from for me was:646-649-3772 and the number she said to call back was 212-920-7013. Someone needs to stop this thing.

She called me today-very unprofessional- (Jan. 25th, 2008) her name was Lynn, she said "You submitted for modeling?" and I said yeah.. and she said "Are you near a computer right now" and I said no because I was driving, so she wanted me to call back when I got near a computer. I looked up the number before I called and I'm really glad I did- now I know this is a scam!

Wow, this is crazy. I recieved several phone calls from this lady but every time she called, i wasn't near a computer And of course, i was also told to call back. Luckly, I decided to look this number up to save me from wasting time calling back. Thanks everyone..
