'I've Been Duped,' Vancouver Woman Says
VANCOUVER, Wash. -- A Vancouver woman said she discovered Tuesday that a man with a foot fetish had tricked her into posing as a foot model.Shannon Caicedo, who owns a futon and bed store in the Vancouver Mall, said a man named Tracy came into her store last month and told her he needed video and pictures of feet for a school project."He said, 'I?m with the reflexology school and we're trying to get some pictures of people's feet,'" Caicedo said.At the time, Caicedo said, it seemed like a simple favor for a student.
starts taking pictures of my feet and videotaping. I guess, looking back, it was kind of an odd thing," Caicedo said. "He kept explaining, 'OK, now this is what I'm doing. This is why I'm taking these pictures. Can you spread out your toes?'"The photographer's photos, however, ended up on a foot fetish Web site.On Tuesday morning, Caicedo received an e-mail from someone in Canada who saw her photo on back40foot.com, a Web site with photos of feet of women older than 40 years old.
"There's other people who look just like me who look like they're trying to help, not like they're trying to be on a foot fetish Web site," Caicedo said.Caicedo said she has hired an attorney in an effort to have the photos removed from the site. She also wanted to warn other women who may have been approached by a man with a camera who claimed to be a student."He had book bags, he had paperwork, he looked official," Caicedo said. "I thought I was helping out and it ends up I've been duped."Caicedo said she's frustrated that the man not only published her photo to a foot fetish Web site, but that he is making money off the pictures. Users of the Web site must pay a membership fee to view all the photos and video clips.Vancouver police are investigating to determine if a crime was committed in the case.
