  @James skinner - Yes this is another version of the same scam. They will send you a fake money order and then ask you to send part of the money back using western union. Once you send them the money using western union there is no way to get it back. And when your bank finds that the money order was fake you have to pay your bank all of the money back.

  
  

  This is actually a Nigerian scammer who pretends to be in London. You can read more about the common Nigerian scams in my posting here: http://starsearchcasting.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=145482

  Yes that is the same scammer using a different name. This billboard modeling scam has been going around under different names for a couple years now. Its just another version of the fake money order scam where the scammer will send you a fake money order as the payment. Then ask you to take part of that money and forward it somewhere else using Western Union. A few days later your bank will inform you that the money order you deposited bounced cause it was fake and now you owe the bank all the money you already sent with Western Union. But once you have sent money through Western Union there is no way to get it back or trace who really received it.

  We also have this scam posted here in the modeling scam watch area of our forums: http://starsearchcasting.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=306752

  Hi!
  not long ago I received a letter and just received a check, we do not know what to do, I can see that this is a fraud.
  What is wrong with the fact that I gave my personal information may be requested from you? and the check is really false? the ww.tagged.com/profile.html?uid=5421549377 found me. There is still a gentleman, and a coca cola in his hand a name .......... over whether those who beat! What happened to the data requested in the letter sent to them, then send everyone a check?

  Hi
  Mariann, yes they do send everyone who responds to them a fake
  check. They hope you will deposit it and then take some of the
  cash and send it back to them using Western Union. Then you
  will never hear from them again and the bank will tell you that the
  check was fake so you need to pay the bank back all of the money
  right away.
  
  And depending on what personal information
  you gave them they could try to steal your identity as well.
  But most likely they will not do anything cause now you know it is a
  scam and the main thing they really wanted you to do was send them
  the money with Western Union. So they will probably forget you
  and move on to the next person.
  
  But you should still report
  them to the authorities. Make sure you keep copies of all
  messages they sent you cause that will have their IP address which
  will help authorities track them down.
  

  This “fake money order scam” is
  very common and all over the internet. From ebay to dating sites, to
  social networking sites. Most of these scammers are from Nigeria or
  other West African countries. I wrote an article about how bad the
  scam problem is in Nigeria. You can take a look here:
