Any place that asks you to pay money up front for something that you did not order like from a website is almost definitely a scam. Sorry! Try checking with the Better Business Bureau.

OKAY I DO PROMOTIONAL MODELING AND PRINT AD AND COMMERCIAL.........
Please take what im about to say to heart.
1.> If a "agency" asks for "ANY" money upfront or in the future from you ....RUN AWAY from them as fast as possible.
No reputable agency will EVER ask you for money.
The agency gets paid when you get paid or upfront and then they cut you a check.
Good luck and please pass this info on, I hear of people getting scammed all the time and its soo sad that these companys are allowed to still do this to people time and time again.

Scam, most likely. Probably someone from Nigeria. Some people are desperate there. Don't pay any money to them especially if it's an email.

It is a scam. Any place you pay for something like that is very likely a scam actually.
