Hi guys!
I have been offered to take part in a photo shoot in London, it's about a soon to be launched clothing line. The model agency is called Daith Casting and they would pay me 30,000 Pounds and pay or my flight and hotel. It is not unlikely that I was contacted since I had done some acting and stuff in L.A. just recently and my head shot and resume can be found in several model and acting agencies' databases.
Anyhow, they want wo wire an uprfront payment of 50% into my account, but in order to do that, I would have to pay a certain amount of money. Here's a part from the e-mail the head scout wrote me:
"Below are the contact details of the bank.
NAME: CITY BANK OF LONDON .
ACCOUNTANT IN CHARGE OF TRANSFER: MISS MARILYN FISH.
EMAIL: [email protected]
You are to contact them as soon as you can and confirm your full bank details. You must note that all Cost of Transfer and insurance charges have been paid by the Client and all you would have to pay to the Bank is ACCOUNT ACTIVATION CHARGES of 420 Pounds which will activate the account to be able to effect international transfers.
That was not paid because we were made to understand the recipient has to personally settle that as he/she is the only person liable to withdraw the funds when transferred so the account has to be activated by him/her since the activation pin will be sent to you.
So that is the only charge you will be paying. I will be sending you a copy of the Deposit Certificate tomorrow.
The extra 1,500 Pounds that is added to the upfront payment is for your flight ticket since you are required to book it yourself at any airline of yourself. "
What do you think? Is it a scam? I mean, I have a contract and everyting.
Oh I don't know. PLEASE HELP ME!!
I am very grateful about EVERY answer!!!
Best regards, Kelly
