I don't know if this is a scam... it really seems too good to be true. They posted the job and got back to me and he's offering me a percentage of the modeling fee before he's even telling me the dates of the photoshoot. I'm sure my gut is right about it but I don't know what his angle would be... It's not like I have to give him my real address and if he sends me a check I'll just go cash it and not run it through my account so he doesn't get my account number...
What's the angle? I've Googled and can't find him or her specifically, their names are pretty common (of course.)
Should I keep pressing for information from them or just move on?

Hi Richard,
Thank you for your reply.
I actually just did a photoshoot yesterday and the photographer sent over some RAW files for me to choose from, so if you don't mind untouched photos of me in an unair-conditioned room, I have them attached for you. As I mentioned, I did dye my hair brown, but if you look at my other photos and would prefer to shoot me as a blonde I will be happy to dye it back.
I would like to find out more if possible, as I'm sure you can imagine from my point of view it sounds a little too good to be true for a Craigslist posting. I have experience with print modeling and would love to work this job for you and your client. As long as no nudity is involved I'm happy to be involved, I love the camera!
Please let me know if you need anything else, and if I can be a part of your project.
Much appreciation,
Jennifer
