Eugene H. Matthews / E.K. The Fashion Don / RV Couture / E.K.EH Matths Scam, clothing designer, models scam, western union, flight & hotel, contract, calendar shoot Toronto Canada

Eugene contacted me via myspace to work as a model in his calendar. He was very pushy to get me to make a decision and send money. He sent a contract via e-mail within moments of talking to me. He only accepts cash sent via Western Union, paid via money in minutes. He had never given me his name until I was at Western Union, and made sure to stay on the phone with me until the transaction was completed. I wrote down the address he gave me, which I can not locate as a 'real' address.

Eugene used very inappropriate words when speaking with me. Was very defensive when I asked any type of proof of my tickets and or room. He turns the situation around to blame you. He speaks horribly about other models. When I confronted him about a rip-off report I found he deleted me from his myspace and refuses to give me a refund.

He uses his dad's death and religion a lot, however, when he speaks and when you view his photos there is nothing religions to be found. He is quick to talk about NOTHING on the phone and avoid any business conversation.

He tends to push the shoots back, and after speaking with you for awhile will suggest he comes to you. He will say he wants to shoot in your area, and you can find a photographer, models and MUA all for trade.

He has contacted me from 4 phone numbers:
519-736-5983 (shows up as Hurst, Edw)
647-207-7621 (text from this number)
519-250-9237 (called once from this number)
519-973-9986 (shows up as Bell payphone)
519-966-9356 (he says is a fax number)

He has caused me anxiety and mental stress, as well as a major financial loss of $633.99 ($582.00 via Western Union + $51.99 in processing fees). I also spent time and money for a passport and a birth certificate.
