Guest guest Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 Docs: Received the following two messages from a so-called body-worker in Italy requesting treatment on one of her clients when she comes to the States for a modeling job. I responded to the first message in the affirmative (who wouldn't want to treat an Italian model?) but got a little suspicious when I got the second message. So I did a search on the Internet and found this scam alert on the NCBTMB web site: http://www.ncbtmb.org/certificants_scam_alert.php . Anyone else been contacted like this? Lyndon McGill, D.C.
