Back in the day I had a studio and an email address I used for models. Today, many years later, I don't use the models addy and I NEVER get any models contacting me.

A month or so ago something odd happened. I got an email from some woman who said she was a fan of mine and she wanted to model. Attached was a pic of a woman who was probably adult, but she did look young. It was odd because she used the model email addy, which I haven't given out in years. I wasn't suspicious at all, and since I was toying with the idea of opening the studio again (I was desperate) I corresponded with her. She was very interested, answered all emails promptly. After several emails I mentioned to be sure to bring proof of age to shoot, and she never answered back.

About this time a SECOND model wrote me, again wanting to model, again young looking. Different email addy, she used current contact info. Still, two models in a short time got my bullshit detectors going. I told this one "bring proof of age" quickly, and again I never heard back from her.

A third model wrote. Again I advised her I'd need proof of age, and again she never wrote back.

Mmm.. Too damn many models popping out of nowhere, being very interested until I show that I will comply with the law...

If you've had models cold calling you, be careful.
