Hello , My name is Olesya Webb and I am a professional rhythmic gymnast/contortionist. I came across your web-site , I was wondering if you would be interested in coming down to our gym and taking pictures just for fun to maybe expand your portfolio even further, it could be something new and unique. I was born in Russia and I moved to the U.S. when i was 9 years old. I've traveled all over the U.S. competing in rhythmic gymnastics.Currently I am the 2007 Region 6 Championships in the hoop event. Three years ago I was invited to join a contortionist group called the Mystic Pixies in California We were part of the San Fransisco Circus Center, we traveled all over California performing our acts. In November of 2005 , five of my teammates including myself were invited to perform at the Dallas Cowboys Halftime Show alongside with Sheryl Crow. Currently I am with the Rhythmic Attitudes of Houston ,a competitive rhythmic gymnastics group. We are also professionally organized group of girls that perform at special events such as dinner shows and galas around the Houston area. We were recently featured on the Channel 2 News. Rhythmic gymnastics is an Olympic sport. In late 2006, I was invited to audition for Cirque du Soleil. When I was with the Mystic Pixies, we had local photographers come to our practices and they would take pictures in different scenarios to get more practice and such. Thank you for your time and i hope to hear from you! Olesya

There is an individual by this name at the website
http://www.rhythmicattitudes.com/Our...08.8608550275/

Still looks wierd in todays day and age where people go to great lengths to suck people into scams it makes it hard to trust anything.

As far as the strange from address we use office live at work and it does the same thing. See question to MS

Thanks Chris. Yeah, I did a search also and found that site. And the email seemed to match. I was just a little leery but didn't want to automatically label this as a scam.
Was curious if anyone else received the same email recently.
