This man is a con artist. He stopped me on the street asking for bus stop information or something as a way to start a conversation with me. He was very nice and then started to talk about his photography busininess. There were immediately several red flags about this guy, but I am a pretty curious person so I kept talking to him. I think he probably has a sociopathic personailty becuase he made me feel pretty comfortable very fast. 

I googled his name to see if he was a supposedly famous photographer becuase a lot of things didnt really add up. I found an alias he uses(Frank Capri), that had a bunch of scam reports written about him and a lot of things about ths sounded very familiar. The reports were very similar to how this person interrracted with me. The other reoprts mention how he had said that he was a "very famous photographer" and had "several celebrity clients" and "would get you very good connections" because he had hookups "with all the agencies".

This is all a lie and this man is a con artist. It's very strage that someone who has all this photography buinsess would need to be stopping young women on the street to advertise his services to them. His "studio" also looked pretty janky from what I could tell. Don't even consider giving this person any money for any pictures becuase they probably won't be that good. Don't give him any of your info, don't talk to him, just run...

I am a woman who works with Francesco, and I deeply resent the slanderof the above untruthful tirade.  Francesco is extremely respectful of men and women, and I know for a fact that Francesco is a strong feminist.  The idea that Francesco would intentionally try to see a client alone is totally absurd as well as all the self-serving-paranoid lies.  This woman and her accusations are a nightmare, but as Michelle Obama recently and beautifully said: “When people take the low road, we take the high road.”

The 'Con Artist' Charge is a Malicious Lie

AUTHOR: Rebuttal - (USA)

POSTED: Monday, July 25, 2016

I know Francesco well and nothing could be further from the truth than the above mean-spirited and inaccurate ‘con artist’ charge.  This ‘report’ is filled with falsehoods and gossipy innuendo, and needs to be addressed.  Unhappy people often try to hurt good people to make themselves feel better, but I will not let these falsehoods go unanswered.  They do damage to someone of truly outstanding character and talent.  Francesco is widely known in the entertainment industry as a man that has the highest standards of integrity, a man who goes out of his way to help others.  It is fact that Francesco has photographed hundreds of the world’s top celebrities in New York and Los Angeles, including the Dalai Lama and four presidents!  Publication of Francesco’s work includes the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, TIME Magazine, NEWSWEEK Magazine, USA Today, Harper’s Bazaar (UK), People, TV Guide, and LIFE Magazine.  I rest my case, and hope that this unhappy camper finds inner peace before doing damage to the good names of others.

Dance Magazine, Robot Magazine, Boomers International, The Toulan Times, and so on).

 Hello! It's good to know that I wasn't the only one with a bad feeling about this guy. This guy however got in touch with me through a well known agency who has sent me great work in the past. He said he was looking for models for a project but when I met him it turned out he was wanting to do my head shots. I was terribly confused. I needed good head shots anyway and he had an impressive portfolio but something about him was way off. Then he started making subtle comments and always asking for hugs. The guy knew I was not single but kept begging for hugs and kissing my forehead? To top it off, his studio turned out to be his apartment! When I called to tell him I was at his place, he gave me strict orders not to let anyone else come up to his place with me, and apparently he told his roommate to be absent during his "interview" with me. Please, if there are any ladies who feel they have been harassed by this man then please speak up!!
