Craziest scammer I have caught to date

So I applied for a promo model job in Las Vegas through what I believed to be a halfway trustworthy source (a "modeling agency"). A few days later I received an email stating that I needed to join in on a conference call at 8pm. Ok. So I call the number and the guy is talking about the event. Then he says that all of the girls on the call are not going to be picked. One of the girls asks, "How do we get picked then?" he continues to say that he needs us to sell a portfolio to prove ourselves. I say, "we are models, not salesmen. It is a models job to visually sell a product, not talk someone into buying something." Well, unless you're a spokesmodel for Oxyclean or something. So he says he needs us to prove ourselves because he needs models who have more than just, and I quote, "nice curvy parts." THEN he says he wants us to send in a headshot by 11pm to dymesnrides@gmail.com for a website that "launches at midnight." The site is yet to be up (yes I'm still checking after all this time). Dymes n Rides sounds very amatuer. At this point I ask what his name is and even ask him to spell it. I google "Jauntavis Gibson" to find only 2 results: one is a model mayhem address that has the conference info on it. So why are we supposed to prove ourselves if you're blasting this opportunity for anyone who visits your page and enters the call? The second result: a profile on Peepfly.com. On this profile it says his name, age, location, and "lifestyle: bondage & S/M." No credentials. No website. Nothing but a profile confirming that this guy is a nobody who likes getting beaten during sex. So I put it all together.... He wants us to make him money selling a product, giving him a picture for free to do God-knows-what with, and fly to another city thinking we were going to work only to find that he would probably tie someone up and engage in "lifestyle: bondage & S/M." Screw that. I busted him out. Then another girl had found the same info and got on his case too. I hope none of the other girls still followed through with this loser's instructions. Only a retard wouldn't have caught this creep. I'm an educated professional. It takes more than "$500 compensation" and someone's word to fool me.
