I wasn't going to bring this up but what the bloody hell. :-)
A while back, when I had some IG accounts I received a DM from Emily. I had left a comment on her account & she was responding to it or so I thought. I had never dealt with her before. She knew nothing about me. Within minutes, she was asking me to send her money to finance a shoot for her. She said she needed the money to buy outfits for the shoot. I almost fell off my chair laughing so hard. I suggested she get the advance from her manager. I suggested he's going to be profiting from her shoot so why shouldn't he finance it for her? Her response was that he was out of town. I started laughing like hell again. I said Emily, "he's out of town? Girl I'm out of the country half way around the world!". I told her no, I wasn't about to finance her shoot. Then I asked her about her family. Why wasn't she getting the money from them? She started in with another line of baloney about wanting to be independent & not bothering them.
I ended that discussion at that point. The next day I received another DM from her & she wanted to know if I was pissed at her. There's more to this but I'm not going to get into it here.
You just never know what your dealing with. LOL
