I'm not pointing any fingers towards anyone because I have no direct proof...  But among the many people posting in these forums to get volunteers to do models or art work for them might be underhanded art/model brokers...

One example:  They give you a good story and promise you glory or even money later on...
Then they ask you to just keep on sending your work over to them without any feedback as to what is happening to your work or how is it being used...  I can only image, the possibility that  your work is being "shipped" out of the country to be sold else where...

I ran into someone who posted in these forum who was so inexperienced in the very business he proposed to be doing that I had to think twice..  But one thing was for sure.... I should send my work to him and keep on sending it....

watch your back
