An ex-cheerleader turnt blogger by the name of Brittney Cason hit the news this week after she uncovered what could be a large human trafficking scam centered around the Sochi Olympics.
Cason was contacted last September through her website by a talent agent, who claimed he was recruiting for media coverage of the Winter Olympics.
For the record, many bloggers are contacted daily by companies and organizations seeking coverage and/or free promo and Cason admits that while she was originally skeptical of the opportunity, she did her due diligence, researched the talent agent, and decided to move forward.
Brittany explains:
Before even meeting with him about it, I did my research. He had a website?displaying his credentials and his Twitter validated his connection with the industry,?including interactions with celebrities and other professionals, and someone I?worked with even validated his work history.
Meanwhile, he was very professional?and extremely knowledgeable in conversation. He seemed as legitimate as anyone?I?ve ever worked with.
But wait… a few weeks before heading to Russia,? Cason decided to dig deeper and her decision to do so may have actually saved her life!
