    Sorry, this is definitely a Scam..

    Robbo, if some Agency wants your photo, etc.. THEY pay you full.. NOT you paying them.. REMEMBER THAT!!! NEVER EVER EVER!!!!

    Anyone that has any clout, will not be contacting you via email for this type exposure.. Especially, Coca Cola Bottling Company... Call them direct, and ask about any promotions they might be advertizing..

    People try and scam your info, BY preying on peoples egos...

    THEY are trying to scam you out of money.. They would NOT ramdomly get in touch with people on My Space... SORRY !!! If someone is looking for fresh faces for billboards.. they either have a legitmate..(Open Call), or go direct through an Agency...

    Sorry Robbo, no you're not, i've just turned down UK GOld for the hammer house of horrors poster.

    Naked lilac, you're right in that it is a scam, but if you look again, it's not asking for you to pay them, they're saying they will pay you which may make it look more authentic to some, but it's all just to get your bank account details in the end.
