Simon Johnson Tammi Tuthill, Mrs. Daniella Castro Simon Johnson, Tammi Tuthill, Mrs. Daniella Castro scammed me using the common Nigerian scam applying to models, photographers, and other professionals in the industry. Beware! Houston, Texas

Hey, I received an e-mail from "Simon Johnson" saying he was gonna pay me for a photoshoot for a fashion catalog belonging to "Mrs. Daniela Castro" in the amount of $3500.

They said they would send me a partial-payment of $700. However, they mailed me a FAKE CHECK of $3150 even before the photoshoot. Once I received it, they instructed me to keep $700 but send them the rest. They were very persistent to have me Western Union $2450 to:

Tammi Tuthill
17550 NW Freeway
Houston, Texas 77065

Obviously I didn't, cause it didn't make sense for me to send them money. They claimed they were using the funds to cover the photo studio expenses. Complete bullsh*t, so I didn't send them any money. And Western Union just screams SCAM.

Anyways, I just checked my bank statement & have a IRX transaction in the amount of $3150. Basically they wrote me a fake check, and wanted me to western union them $2450. If I DID send them that money, I would have owed the bank $3150 + overdraft fee.

Just letting the other models know, beware of this guy/girl and this sort of scam.
