person was from the UK he should have had a lot better english then what he was
speaking. He couldnt even pronouce and spell words properly.
Glad you didnt forward him any information. |

 ID: 237093 Posts: 1821 | Date: 2008-07-03 12:30 One of them scammers again!
They'll try anything to get to you, I've had e-mails turn up in my private
e-mail box from 9 different ones in africa thinking I'm looking for a wife! or
more to the point trying to con money out of me! I've noticed strange messages
appearing in my inbox here too, one or 2 in the last 2 weeks that I'm not sure
if to trust them or not with yahoo & gmail addresses in them!
Don't send any money and whatever you do don't give them any card numbers or
bank details |

ID: 247404 Posts: 151 | Date: 2008-07-03 12:40 No offence, but if you give someone your bank account number or credit card
number without even knowing them, you derserve to be scammed! |

ID: 237093 Posts: 1821 | Date: 2008-07-03 12:54 I don't give them anything!
What get me is the amount that turns up in the spam box, and everywhere else I'm
a member of on the web you can't get away from them!
Why there has been such an influx of african scam in the past month I have no
idea but it's just came like an african tsunami of scam!
What puzzles me is why try sites like Jurgita? |

ID: 247404 Posts: 151 | Date: 2008-07-03 12:58 they will try anywhere they can. Scams seem to be the thing to do in the 21st
century, and most of them seem to be comming from the Nigerian region, where
banks, and such are harder to have info traced at.
just remember, scammers cant take your money, but you can give it to them..
Due dilligence should be practiced, and if something sounds too goo to be true
it probably is. Always ask for references, never send money in exchange for
shoots or exposure, and never attend anything by yourself. If the company wants
money upfront for photos, protfolios, exposure, start-up fees. Look the other
way.
If a company wants you that bad, then they would pay you not the other way
around. |

link to profile or its id through ticket system. Someone will handle it, and
maybe protect some other inocents. That is one of reasons we stoped accepting
payments from nigeria.
Gary : Exposure. There are quite a lot of scammers in myspace and other portals
as well, but they can run generic scams only there. Here one could run a more
niche-specific ones, which might be more believable.
One of the reasons why we do not recomend contacting any simple members that
claim to represent agencies is that we havent run any check about them like we
do with the agencies. Also, it is harder to check person than organisation. We
know though, that there are some professionals that register as members only,
but you have to be very carefull when dealing with them.Part of jurgita.com administration team. |

 ID: 209800 Posts: 506 | Date: 2008-08-20 22:30 I hate to say it but there are long standing members here that I believe are not
what they say they are. They have offered me paid work and then mysteriously
disappeared or a while or dodge my questions about doing their projects. I am
personally pretty sick of the bull crap and am logging on less and less... The
scams are so rampant here--- more than ANY of the 20+ sites I belong to. It is
time to take out the trash for sure. |

 ID: 161101 Posts: 98 | Date: 2008-08-21 02:13 In Nigeria, they don't only send scam letters to models, they also scam you in
offices.
I once had a photo session and signed up with an agent on this site in Nigeria.
He refused to let me have my pictures, never got me a job and he split with his
partner still giving me an impression that I'm still part of the agency.
They really exploit models here everyday. We just have to get wiser everyday and
be watchful.
The few times I spoke out against matters like these, I only get condemned for
doing the right thing.sherlly butshy |

ID: 209800 Posts: 506 | Date: 2008-08-21 18:24 You should not be condemned for saying the truth about anyone on this site. If
someone is pulling crap on you, they are probably pulling it on several models.
Why offer people money and say you will use them or their look if it is not
true? For attention? To look like you have something to offer a model? I think
it purely for ATTENTION!!! Only losers do that because they know that they
really have nothing to offer and they are not what they want people to believe
that they are.
It is too bad that we are even having to deal with this issue on this site.
Honestly.... How many of you have EVER had a paid job from Jurgita? I don't mean
a little TFP.. I mean real work? I would love to hear from those who have. I
think we all would. That way we would know who is for real and who it is that
just keeps running their mouth. |

ID: 209800 Posts: 506 | Date: 2008-08-23 07:22 I am asking myself why I am even here this morning. As I said in a new post, my
pics were moved around and my avatar changed. Too much drama here ----------and
way to much of the scam thing. I guess as long as people pay they will allow it.
But what self respecting "in the spotlight" model would allow her name to be
placed on such a site? I am not sure Jurgita is aware that her site is going
down the toilet. Or, Maybe she doesn't care? I am baffled...... |
