Well for starters, I've never lived in York, from a different part of the country, and Rico is my user name, not my real name.
Secondly, how did you know about the other user name "dvdvdvdvd", as you can't search for users on Adultworks unless your offering services, which this bloke certainly wasn't.
So the fact that you know the scam artist username rings alarm bells.
Seems highly unlikely that two people from the same area, who try to shoot models, would use a very similar user name, and not be the same person.
For anyone who is interested dvdvdvddvd stated that he has worked with top companies such as killergram etc, Which Anjali confirmed he didn't.
And this message below, is the type of rubbish he sends models, this one was passed on by a concerned model a few months back.
If your not this gimp, my apology's.
But if it you are, be careful, cos you might arrange a booking with a model one day, and it won't be her waiting for you.
Blokes like this Dvdvdvdvdvd are sick.
If you are genuine, you can easily offer one or two model who have worked with who can vouch that your genuine, please do this, otherwise no one will take your seriously

Yorkshire models ?
Re: Yorkshire models ?
Hi, this is the message sent by Dvdvdvdvdvd, another tog based in Yorkshire like dvdvd...........
"Hi
We have models who contact us, asking to do them a porfolia and we charge the model ?200 for the shoot.
We do open test shoot sessions were we hire a studio and shoot 20-30 local new models in the day and we do not charge the models or do we pay the models but if there sucessfull they earn the industries top rates and they know that when they come to the test shoots.
Just think of it as a job interview, would you expect to get paid full rate for the interview ?
It all depends what sort of modelling you want to do, do you want to pose for amatuer photographers and get paid ?100 here and there ? or do you want to model for top publishing houses in the UK and USA and earn top money ?
The ?50 we give our models is just a gesture, do not think we are demeaning you, its a small amount but as i said we can shoot 30 models a week and only use 3 of them as the others have bottled out etc or are unsuitable, so out of a ?600 outlay we get a couple of good models who get work with the top publishing houses and earn top rates.
So you have to decide do you wanna try for the top work or just be an amatuer bit part model , always looking for work.
Our top models never look for work , they get numerous offers all the time.
No top publishing house wants to use new models untill they are test shot, to arrange a pro shoot with lighting, makeup,travel,sound,video etc costs several thousands a hour . and a lot of hard work, untill you have done some work for pro photographers and get a professional porfolia together i can not see you getting good quality published work. You will only make the pro rates if your work is published. We took 4 models to the adultxxx trade fair in Las Vegas this year
We have contacts in the USA .
To get a good porfolia you will have to pay a pro to take good photos.
Amatuer prints are a bit of a no no in the publishing circles.
Have a think about it and if your not happy send us some photos and edited video from a pro photographer when you get some done and we may assess your work again"

Re: Yorkshire models ?
Fair point.
But I may as well repeat this statement again...
If you are genuine, you can easily offer one or two model who have worked with who can vouch that your genuine, please do this, otherwise no one will take your seriously.
Anyway I'm sick of this, if your real you can prove it, and I will aplogise for being over cautious, but after some of the stories you here from models...
Of course if you can't back up your genuine!
