**JAYCE THOMPSON - "Fashion Week Placement" -or- "Runway Management" SCAM!!!** - MyModelTalk Free Casting Calls for Models and Actors!

RIGHT NOW i am dealing with a pestering MODEL AGENCY SCAMMER.

Back in October or November of 2008, I responded to an ad that was posted up on Craig's List.
At that time, he was using this email:

Submissions@fashionweekplacement.info

And he would sign it "Jayce & Amy".

Then when I was being a little difficult about photographs, agency photographers, etc., I received an email from a woman named "Callie Barker JD" (the JD indicating that she is an attorney).

"She" (or whoever) was VERY rude and unprofessional.
"Her" email that she was using to write me was:

CallieBarker@fashionweekplacement.info

RECENTLY of this year 2009, March, I received a "mass forwarded email" announcing some BIG event for models, businesses, agencies, etc.etc. The man referred to himself as "Jayce"!
And this time, the email he used was:

j.thompson@custommediasolutions.info

THEN.... another isolated event occurred. I went to a casting call held here in Renton, WA.
They said it was for "HENCH" Energy Drink and other future gigs.

For models who could not attend, they were required to send a RSVP stating that they couldn't attend, but attach images to the email:

modelcantmakeit@gmail.com

A whole bunch of innocent and unbeknownst aspiring models showed up, including me.
They said they would give us a call if they were interested in any one of us.

~~ I GOT THAT CALL ~~

From a woman named "Natasha" but on her answering machine, her name was "Natalia".

When I put 2 and 2 together, I sent the "Jayce" guy an email saying, "Stop scamming people. What comes around goes around."

He then calls me afterwards, and leaves me a voice message cussing at me:

"Susan, you just sent a fucking dirty ass email. This is not a scam. Call and check with SMG, TCM, and any other big modeling agencies here in Washington."

I am so temped to email him and call him out on his little SCAM he's got goin' on here.
But I'm afraid he will harass me since he has my cell phone number.

Can't we report him to get him arrested!!??

Well did he take any money from you for a service he didn't provide? I'm not sure there's much the police would do in this case. Unless he's harassing you after you've asked him not to contact you.

Take a look at this post. There is another post in the scams section on Jay Townsend.

I think your guy might be the same dude. People have been complaining about him on MyModelTalk since 2006 plus he operates in the same area Oregon & Washington State). Maybe he changed his name slightly or maybe you interpreted him wrong.

In any case might wanna give a good look at this link.
I really think they are the same and if they are...yea he's a fraud.
