The scammer, Nina Nesbitt of Industry Direct Model & Talent, sent me a personal message on allcasting.com inviting me to a Discovery Call for her agency a couple days ago. I agreed to join a zoom call where 5 other young ladies and I virtually met Nina as a "meet and greet". She informed us about her alleged model experience with NY Fashion Week and international modeling experience and then asked each of us individually about ourselves and what she believed best fit us talent-wise based off a zoom call. She emailed each of us more information on modeling/acting opportunities before the call ended, but Nina began to have connection issues prior to the call ending. Her assistant then took over afterwards and said "I would trust what Nina says and take the opportunity." I read the email and the invitation to The New York Model Tour 2024 (the email contained a flyer of models) where I was required to pay $2,975 (option to pay in installments or Zelle) and travel, food, and lodging expenses were also my sole responsibility. The services offered were "model workshops, photoshoots, composite cards, digital portfolio, runway/personality marketing video, agent interview and call-back day, private meetings with agents and managers, and personal career counseling/marketing and casting services before, during, and after the event." I immediately blocked this agency's email and phone number because it all seemed suspicious, especially when I was the one sought out for a modeling opportunity.

I have a profile on AllCasting that allows me to apply for projects and in return I am compensated once the project is completed. One of these projects began as something normal and the verbiage before signing the contract is as follows:

An advanced retainer fee (booking fee) of $500 will be mailed upfront to you before the shoot to ensure your engagement on the upcoming project with us in line with our business ethics. Meanwhile, the balance of $4000 which includes the complete usage right fee($3000) will be paid at the venue as soon as the shoot is completed.

However, you will not only receive a certified paycheck of $500 but also with an additional amount that you will use in paying for your wardrobe bills which you will forward to the designer in charge of your wardrobe after processing the check. The payment for your wardrobe and clothing measurement has to be forwarded to the designer by you, reason being that, the payment for your wardrobe has to be made or billed to your name/info as requested and acceptable business terms by the designer to ensure a tallied customization and label to be printed on your costumes. Please be informed that you are not responsible for the funds that you will use to pay for your wardrobe, the funds will be mailed in one payment to you alongside with that of your upfront/booking payment i.e. (your advanced payment $500 plus extra amount for wardrobe cost and shipping fee all on one check). Please read over this again to fully understand before you proceed.

Once the contract was sent over, it seemed like a reliable contract and explained payment and everything of the sort but when the retainer fee check arrived on top of the expenses for the supposed wardrobe, I was told to send the entire check which was a total of $4950.60 to different zelle accounts and once my limit to transfer had been reached I was told to go to the postal office to purchase money orders and finish the payments for wardrobe in order to ensure the arrival of wardrobe since the timing of the shoot was running near. Once the complete amount of that check was taken out of my account (via the zelle payments and money orders) I was notified by my bank that a Return Item Chargeback was on my account for the same amount as the check I was mailed. When I called my bank to inquire more information I was told the check was found to be fraudulent and a claim was made and the zelle payments were put on hold. I was told the claim could take up to 40 business days to be resolved. The money orders are trickier and the USPS can’t do much considering it’s a holiday today so I’ll have to wait. I now have to look for legal action since a contract was involved
