Maxim has recently received several communications from individuals (men and women) who have been contacted by people purportedly on Maxim's behalf, claiming to be agents, photographers or international modeling agents for Maxim.
These communications, typically sent by email, have generally stated that this person is authorized by Maxim to find new talent for Maxim magazine or a new magazine as yet to be published by Maxim. These “agents” typically offer to pay for traveling expenses and modeling fees for a photo shoot, or they will offer to buy photographs from you. Once a fee is agreed, they send you a bogus check for an amount that is much higher than the amount that you agreed to. Then, they ask you to wire the excess amount back to them. So far, we have uncovered two names associated with these activities: Glenn Morrison, and Leah Christiansen from CDN Models, a fictitious Canadian model agency.
Maxim generally does not hire agents to locate new talent for photo shoots. If someone contacts you by email, on Facebook, or MySpace, or other chat or social sites regarding photographs or modeling for Maxim, please be very cautious. If you have any questions regarding the legitimacy of any communication from someone who claims to be employed by Maxim or an agent of Maxim, you may contact our legal department at legal@maxim.com with the details.
Please remember if you are a contestant in our Hometown Hotties program, only the Hotties Coordinator will communicate with you about upcoming events and requirements. The Hotties Coordinator can be reached at hometownhotties@maxim.com.
Legitimate Maxim-sponsored sweepstakes will be located on our websites at www.maxim.com .. , www.blender.com .. or www.winstufftoday.com ..
