Type of a scam Employment
You’re approached with a legitimate sounding photography job for HMN ALN clothing, complete with usage fees, model release forms, mobile studio rental, makeup artists, etc.
The numbers look appealing: $1,000 shoot fee, $1,500 usage fee, plus a separate “mobile studio booth” charge of $1,950—totaling $4,450.
They say they’ll send you an electronic check (e check) for $2,950, which supposedly covers your shoot fee and the mobile studio rental fees.
You’re instructed to deposit this check into your personal bank account.
Once the (fake) funds clear, they’ll send you an invoice for the mobile studio truck rental (around $1,950).
You’re told to pay that rental company directly out of the deposited check—routing money from your account to theirs.
They emphasize “each talent makes their payment … to avoid mix ups,” framing it as standard procedure.
You pay vendors yourself. Legitimate productions pay vendors directly (or reimburse you later), not require talent to front the money.
Check amount exceeds your fee. Scammers often overpay you, then ask for the “excess” back to cover bogus expenses.
Pressure to proceed before fully vetted contract. They keep deferring final, clear contract details until after you deposit the check.
Unclear company details. The “HMN ALN” brand is vaguely described, with no verifiable website or references.
Generic email address. They’re writing from [email protected], not a corporate domain, and attachments are just “contract” and “e check” PDFs without any real escrow or payroll service.
You deposit the fraudulent check. Initially, your bank credits your account, so your balance shows the money is there.
You wire or send $1,950 (plus any “processing fees,” if they ask) to the “vendor.”
A few days later, your bank discovers the check bounced or was counterfeit—they reverse the deposit.
You’re left out of pocket for the $1,950 (and any portion of the check you already spent or transferred), and the scammer vanishes.
In short: they’re sending you a bogus e check, asking you to use your bank to pay for “studio rental,” then disappearing once the check inevitably bounces—leaving you on the hook for any money you forwarded.
