Serious creeper warning. Please read!

[Roxy Tart {PL Team / Comm. Mgr}]

Please take the time to read this post. 

There is a fake profile going around Facebook, they we're using the name Lindsey Morganna, Fallona Morganna and Fallona Morgan yesterday but could be using any name now. They are sending messages to models asking them to "audition" over web cam or send in nude or lingerie photos. The Facebook profile they are using is fake. The website they direct you to is not theirs (yesterday it was www.sexygirlphotography.com). When questioned about why their location is different, why they can't update their website, and why their profile photo doesn't match, they will keep up the act, giving answers like "I've moved." I live in numerous cities." I have someone else do my website." And even as far as, "I've had total reconstructive surgery after an accident" and "I have memory loss". This person is NOT a photographer. In fact, it's just a guy, who get's his kicks tricking girls into getting naked. He then records it and tries to blackmail them. This behavior is not ok! This is not typical photographer behavior. If you are contacted by this person, block and report them! 

Ladies, if something seems off about a photographer that contacts you. Listen to your gut. Not sure? Contact us. Send us a message, we will check it out in case you don't know what to look for. As a community we want to keep everyone safe, so spread the word about this creeper!

Fallona Morgan

  

10:58am

[Val D-Day Doll]

Thank you for sharing this!

[Kustom Doll]

Thank you very much for this warning.
I've shared on my page and various social networks.

[Thesally]

Hi, ladies!

I have read all the conversations, and, by curiosity, I searched the name (and I found a serious case of female chav). But in the tagged photos, there are a pair of young male faces in a lot of them. I bet the creeper is one of them.

 I really hate when a perv plays with somebody else's job... :-(

[Crystal Void]

Thanks!

[Crystal Void]

I also think we should email the woman who actually runs that site and notify her that this guy is using her site as a ploy and potentially tarnishing her work.

[jessesage]

Thanks for sharing. Always keep your wits about you ladies and gents!

[Rachelle Rouge]

Thanks for posting this!

I wanted to add that it's extremely important for models who freelance (especially those who do nude work) to religiously observe ground rules. First and foremost, a real client will NEVER ask you to audition nude or semi-nude via webcam! Besides it being an unprofessional thing to ask, you are giving them their content for free. Why then would they need to hire you? A reputable client will schedule a casting at a professional location, or simply book you directly.

If you have any indication that you are not dealing with a professional, end the conversation immediately. You don't owe anyone anything, simply stop responding and report the user to whatever community you are utilizing. It is common practice for pervs to prey on aspiring models, please carefully check out anyone offering you work. Professionals are not afraid to share their portfolio, contact information, and references. Do not be afraid to ask for these up front, and don't give out your information until you are comfortable doing business. Personally, if I have doubts, I ask them to book through my agent. This generally scares off scammers/posers. If you don't have an agent, ask them to contact your "manager".

The most important thing to remember is, if something feels wrong, it usually is! Good luck and please be safe!

I'm not sure if it's the same person or not, and it probably is, but the intent is nearly identical to a message received by a 14 year old (a friend's daughter).  This person contacted her and asked her to model nude over a webcam.  She told them she was 14, they said that's OK.  They told her that since it was for "artistic" photos, it was OK to be nude, and it wouldn't be considered child porn.  She knew it was a scam, a perv, and she immediately told her mother, who was understandably upset.  Smart girl.  I am just shocked that this happens to people.  It seems like they've been in "business" for a while now.  I especially hope underage girls don't fall for it.  There are a lot of naive young girls out there who might believe them!

[Crystal Void]

Jupiter-

I vaguely recall hearing that story not too long ago from a friend down in NC. This guy needs to be caught and prosecuted if that's the sort of thing he's trying to pull.
