Aspiring Professional Models – Please Beware of Modeling Scams!
Filed under: Business, Employment, Legal, Sales & Marketing
*BE CAREFUL OF PHOTOGRAPHERS WHO WANT TO MANAGE/CHEAT YOU!
Ask them “what can you do for me that I CAN NOT DO FOR MYSELF?”
Ask to see and talk to their list of clients and models. Its very important. Ask their clients, “did you make any money with the work? approximately how much? what legitimate modeling work have you got?” If they condescendingly talk down to you or try to make you feel stupid, tell them to hit the road!
* Be careful of wanna-be managers and aggressive agents that want to manage you, or even worse an unexperienced friend trying to help that does not know how to manage, conduct business, read contracts nor has any idea how much a model should get paid or residually compensated. They can cause more harm then good. There are a lot of photographers that are very controlling and feel you need their approval before you shoot with anyone.
*Remember it’s QUALITY NOT QUANTITY. It does not matter how many pictures you have, it’s how, with just a few strong pictures you still make a good impression. Read more

Beware: Don’t Send Money Through Western Union To Chinese Suppliers!
Filed under: Business, Employment, Internet, Money & Finance, People, Sales & Marketing, Uncategorized, electronics
Question: I have found an electronic product (Laptop) that a Chinese company is selling on Alibaba.com. They are not accepting PayPal and want payment by Western Union. Is it safe?
Answer: No. It is not safe! Please dump this seller ASAP because it is most likely fraud. A vast majority of Chinese companies operating on Alibaba (and other such sites) are fraud. We have learned this from first hand experience. They are waiting to steal your money, and Western Union is the best way for them because they can vanish after receiving your money.
While we can’t blame Western Union entirely for it, we think that Western Union does not mind such fraud. Otherwise, why do they allow people/companies to operate accounts from China even after their names are listed as scam all over the web?
So yes, it is very risky if you are sending money to people that you do not know. With Western Union, there is no way to guarantee that the receiver will send you the good.
