The fake model scouts may show you some form of (home-made but very authentic looking) identification, give you a genuine website address and ask you to contact an e-mail address or telephone number which is not genuine.
When you are approached by a model scout in the streets, do not give out your details, do not hand over any money and do not contact the telephone number or e-mail address that you are given.
Instead, always find the model agency independently in a search engine on the Internet or in the telephone directory. Laziness will cost you dearly!
