the money can be sent to them to pay for the flight" LOL....

But what do I know... |

| Date: 2007-12-04 01:08 Romeo..I suspect the same. Mr.David Sticker here is a photographer who has no
photos <how can that be > neither does he have a website
I wonder how he got approved as a photographer in the first place.
Models please watch out before u make any deals with such photographers. Prove
of past work is a must and when the deal is too good, think twice! |

 ID: 126485 Posts: 2 | Date: 2007-12-05 02:50  I have been a
victim of such Scams before..Paid some euros and dollars with No outcome.Thanks
God they have not yet counted thousands!!...and thanks God i was scouted by a
legitimate real agency in London.
A genuine Contest or Agency does not in whatsoever way ask for money..they
instead make money out of you-by selling out your Look to the clients.
Young men and women..take alot of care.Its not an easy way to be the Next Naomi
Campbell,Heidi Klum or Chad White!! |

This seems unbelievable.
In January you are taking 20 girls for 8 days at $300 per day. That's about
$45,000 plus airfares, accommodation and and food probably another $20,000. Then
there is March where you take another 13 girls for a week at $500 plus flights
and accommodation to the Bahamas. That's another $45,000 in salary plus flights,
accommodation and food probably another $15,000. So that's approximately
$125,000 it is going to cost your sponsor.
Now I looked at you images that you posted and to be quite honest I think they
are extremely amateurish. They look like they are taken with a p&s camera. How
on earth has someone decided to give you that sort of sponsorship based on the
existing portfolio.
Now assuming that this is all above board I assume that you are expecting some
renumeration for all of you effort. Lets assume $20,000 and the sponsor is going
to want a return on his investment. With something this risky I would assume a
10% return at least. So you are going to have to sell approx $170,000 worth of
calendars just to break even. At $10 a calendar you are going to have to sell
17,000 calendars. That's a lot of calendars for a bunch of models that are not
famous and mostly novices. (and presumably not naked)
To me it doesn't add up. What is the most suspicious is the images you have
posted. They look like they are snapshots all taken on the same day. You say you
lost all your images in Katrina, well that was over 2 years ago. Is this all you
have from the last 2 years. All the images that I have in my portfolio were
taken within the last month and I still managed to get a some variety. I am also
an amateur.
I am also really interested to hear what kind of equipment you are using and an
explanation why you took all those images without shooting with the aperture
wide open.
David there are too many suspicious things going on here for Jurgita models to
take you seriously. As some have already stated they have been scammed before
and this looks too good to be true. If you were a renowned pro with an
impressive portfolio it might be more believable.
One more thing: You have not stated what the calendar is about. Other than it
involves water. I think if you are going to fly girls all the way to the Bahamas
you should be posting some images that show the style of image you are requiring
them to create.
I would love to be proved wrong.
Regards Mike |

. Also every model that has asked has been told where they can see my work. and
if you want to GOOgle me "DAVID STICKLER" and you will see everything you will
like .
One more thing. Your Jurgita account has your surname as "Sticker" but you say
google "Stickler". It seems very suspicious that you spell your own name
incorrectly.
btw I googled them both and didn't find anything at all, other than the
reference to your Jurgita account.
Buyer beware. |

I do believe that everyone has a chance to prove themselves. That is precisely
what I was stating. I just don't think you have provided sufficient plausible
evidence yet.
My comments do not say that you are a scammer. I am just stating that the
proposal looks too good to be true. Like I stated earlier many models on here
have been scammed. Some of the newer ones are not aware of the scams. As an
organiser of an event you have a responsibility to validate yourself and remove
all doubt.
I am simply stating that to my mind you have not provided sufficient evidence to
date to convince me that this is legitimate. The images you have are not good
enough quality to sell 17,000 calendars. Once you post some of your images
similar to the style and quality that you will be using in the calendar I think
more people will take you seriously.
My intention is not to see you fail. On the contrary, I am trying to help you
put forward a more believable proposal and at the same time trying to protect
any innocent models.
Regards Mike |

| Date: 2007-12-13 00:49 well i appears that i have not planned everything out as i should have so i will
call my publisher and pay him my forfeitture and rethink everything out tll i
know more about what i am doing. if i caused anyone problems i appligize.I want
to thank the people who have pointed out to me what i need to do if i really
want to get a leg up in thi bussiness.
Special thanks to lucia, Mike, and carib goodies. what i will do before i ever
try to do another shoot i will contact you three ahead of time with what i am
trying to do and discuss it with you to see if i have everything figured out and
evevrything covered.plus ask for advice on what i should of done instead of what
i did. Please except my appologize and i will leave you with one last thing. i
guess that is why i was not getting any takers on my shoot. because as you said
it looks to good to be true. I was going to invest $100,000 of my own money
which 20% is forfeit so it is live and learn.
As far as my military record goes dont even go there . i did what i did in the
service when it needed to be done and many of my friends did not come back. So
you go ahead and check on my Military back ground. you need to check out John F
Kennedy Special warfare Center at fort Bragg that would be a good place to
start.
Oncer again i appoligize and feel humbled and not to intellagent. so As i said i
applogize and withdrawel my shoot from here. i will also withdrawel my
membership effective now.
also like i said you do not have to worry about the protection of any of your
members because i recieved nothing from anyone on this site that was not already
here. i am not angry nor do i hold anything against anyone
because you are doing what you believe is best for your fellow members and
yourself i respect that.
Sincerely,
David |
