I went to NMP advertising about 2 weeks ago and Ted Foster(the CEO of NMP advertising which struck me as being strange, that he's actually there to conducting the search) asked me and the other 6 girls there for $25 to cover a background check. NMP has a very low budget website that kind of sent me a clue that this is a scam
www.nmpadvertising.com, it did have pictures of 20 girls on there that looked like the pics were taken by a disposable camera and mostly all the pictures were in the hotel room where the search was conducted, the last time I checked those pics wasn't on there anymore and he changed the price of purchasing your "portfolio" from about $70 to you just paying for the S&H of $16. I also noticed on craiglist that they're running another casting call for women looking to be in smooth magazine
