SCAM: MORE DETIALS FOR THE SHOOT

When scammers ask your age, they can search you on social networking sites such as FaceBook and Classmates.com to obtain other information pertinent to committing fraud or identity theft such as birthdays, mothers maiden names, hometowns, etc. 

Agencies are not going to offer transportation and accommodations to someone they just found off the Internet without meeting them.
