Where’s the best place online to recruit models for a photo shoot?

I have a part-time photography business and am desperately looking for female models (preferrably with no experience) to do a photoshoot. One model agency recrimended ModelMayhem, Musecube and some other one. The models at Modelmayhem tend to want paid services rather then trades of service. Then Musecube is free for models to join but $10.00 for non-models such as photographers. The third one is free with very limited features which doesn’t include the ability to do casting calls. They have that with their pro account which is out of my budget. I tried the Craigs and backpage with no luck. I also tried Kijiji and did have a couple of shoots but many models inquired about the ad and never got back to me to do the photoshoot. I also tried New Faces and they’re free as long as I’m willing to pay casting credits. I’m sick of this online advertising nonsense and online groups that have many rule, would it be better for me to advertise in the local paper…continued to part 2

Online Survey’s for Money?

I am a first year college student, and i just received an email addressed to my campus email account. It stated that i can make money by filling out surveys. Is this a legitimate source of income available to a college student? Would i be at risk if i decided to try out this program? Is it a scam of some sort?
I will also post a copy of the email along with my question.
Thanks!

Has anyone heard of PAQ Technologies LTD or Home Alliance Recruiting Group? Are they legit?

I sent them a resume for a job listed on Craig’s List and got this reply that sounds like jiberish:
