I'm not! I had also been contacted by this 'so called' Scout!" Hugh! and yes i have asked for further details, but things aren't always true, so I have emailed Mary Claire and the Model agency. It's a good job that the true agencies have the decency to put out blogs about scams etc. And a big thank you. I can imagine many young girls would fall for this. So beware!

I applaud you for taking action so quickly to warn others as I know many would have just ignored my warning email and gone about the day. Like the saying goes, "If it sounds too good to be true, it is." As much as I wish someone would think I am model worthy, the truth is I know I am not..lol. Be careful and keep your eyes wide open ladies. Thank you again Mr. Kettler. Elaine "the would-be model" Thank you for posting this for others to read and learn about.
