Recently we have been receiving numerous reports of this scammer continuing his work of stealing money from models here in the United States. However, these reports do not indicate that the scammer is attempting to link himself to our company any longer. As such, we are no longer interested in chasing him down or amassing information regarding this case.
If, however, you do receive communications from Samuel Williams, and in those communications our company name or website address are mentioned, please do contact us. Otherwise, please directly contact your local law enforcement agency, the FBI CyberCrime division in your area, or for those in other countries, possibly INTERPOL.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

The scammer, Samuel Williams, has been propagating his scam as far as he can, throughout modeling communities worldwide. We did a little searching on google, and found he’s set up profiles on the following websites:
- ModelManagement.com
- http://www.modelmanagement.com/member/samuel-williams/ (profile was deleted and then recreated with new phone number, about section, and photo)
- http://www.modelmanagement.com/member/sam-williams/ (alternate profile, different phone/about/pic)
- YoModel.com
- http://www.yomodel.com/samphoto001
- modelingcorner.com
- http://www.modelingcorner.com/Photographer/ViewPhotographerDetails.aspx?ppid=3613
- modelallure.com
- http://www.modelallure.com/profile_view.php?user_id=1592 (this profile links to another area photographer, however, when he emails his victims, he still uses our website address)
There appears to be a pattern to his profiles:
- Goes by either “Samuel Williams” or “Sam Williams”
- Uses a username of “samphoto001″
- Uses the same photos for a profile picture
- All use different, random looking telephone numbers.
- Have similar or identical text in the about section.
- Claim to be from Streetsboro, Ohio (a suburb of Cleveland)
Here are some screenshots we’ve collected:
