U.K. police have warned parents about fake modeling agencies soliciting underwear photos from minors on Facebook.

U.K. police have warned parents about fake modeling agencies soliciting underwear photos from minors on Facebook.

The most recent incarnation went by the name Pat Keeling Modeling Agency in Leicestershire, where predecessors have also been based, according to the U.K. Press Association. Apparently the allegedly fake company has a website and has had profiles on Facebook but currently doesn’t maintain a page there, instead using the site to contact children under 18. It looks like the pedophile(s) running this scam not only remains at large, but might assume a new alias and fake company.
