Scam shield: a second look before you say yes
Paste a casting message, DM or email. We check it against warning signs named by Report Fraud, the FTC, Equity and the British Fashion Model Agents Association, and show you why each one matters and what to do next.
Private by design. The check runs in your browser using a fixed list of rules you can read below. Nothing you paste is sent, stored or saved. No AI is involved, so it cannot tell you whether a person is genuine. It can only point out patterns that often come up in scams.
1Paste the message
Copy in the whole message if you can, including any email address or link. You can remove names first if you prefer.
Try an example:
2A few quick questions
Tick anything that is true, even if it is not in the message itself. Leave the rest blank.
Paste a message or load an example, then press Check this message. Your results appear here.
How to check a casting
Work through these before you reply, pay anything or travel anywhere. Ticking is just for you and is not saved.
Where to report
If you have lost money, shared bank or ID details, or feel unsafe, tell someone you trust and report it. If you are in danger right now, call the emergency number for the country you are in.
Every rule this checker uses
No hidden scoring. These are all the warning signs it looks for, the source behind each one, and how strongly it is weighted.
Honest limits
- This is a pattern checker, not a judge. A clean result does not mean a message is safe or genuine, and a flagged message is not proof of a scam.
- It reads words, not people. Scammers can write polished, ordinary messages, and real clients sometimes write clumsy ones.
- It checks English wording only, and the reporting links cover the UK, US, France and Italy for now.
- Rules on agency fees and licensing differ between countries and US states. This is general guidance, not legal advice.
- StudioMODL cannot receive reports or investigate anyone. Please use the official routes listed above.
