I recently signed up with backstage on behalf of my granddaughter. I received a text from a gentleman who claims he was from a famous photography company and they were doing a huge photo shoot for six models for Puma / Amazon. He said he was going to mail a check for me to cover the cost for the hair stylist and other things. He stated that he got my information from backstage. Two days later, I got a check in the mail that was for 5,000. He claims he was only going to send a small amount to cover the above charges. I knew this was a scam. However, I am very naive in this business. I called backstage and gave them the circumstances. I received an email from Stephanie who not only said this was a scam but also gave me some really excellent pointers on what to watch out for with photographers who right now are big in the scamming business. Especially for models. I'm sure a lot of you are not naive in this business but I wanted to reach out to backstage and especially to Stephanie, not only for the quick response but for an in-depth email on some pointers on what to look out for. Stephanie thank you, on behalf of my 5-year-old granddaughter. Stephanie is definitely a keeper.
