I just responded that I would expect to be paid for my effort. I don't expect to hear anything back from him. It reminds me of the old scam that offered to put your biography in an encyclopedia for a price.

Really glad for this discussion. I got the email and wasn't sure what to make of it. Thanks much to all of you who did some extra poking around! Definitely sounds sketchy.

Yah. Sounds a little shady. Not going to pursue.

I got the exact same email as Sean...it seemed weird because I wrote back saying I was possibly interested but then I actually called him out on the last line as well...Told him that line confused me...and that I would need to write the article when I had free time...especially since he wrote me and it is not paid work.  I do not think I am going to proceed in any way with him unless I hear anything else....seems like a scam...

Yeah Sean I just googled Admitopia and everything there is just as vague.  It's a site where schools find schools, idk.  And he does sound like a person that wouldn't be a pleasure to deal with if he is legit.  :-)

I emailed him back and this was his reply:

I appreciate your interest in this project. This is for Admitopia.com. Basically all
that is involved is creating articles that provide tips and advice for young students who are considering entering the profession.
You have 100% authority in terms of the topics. There would be no compensation.  Your name would be displayed for the articles that you provide. In addition you would have the option for a photo and bio on the site as well. Your story would be read by THOUSANDS!
 
We have been overwhelmed with applications for contributing writers in terms of writing for the site. So I need to know what the initial topic that you are planning on writing about. We want to avoid duplicate articles being created.  Also when do you plan on sending the initial article? If you cannot provide this information you will no longer considered for this project now or in the future.
The last line of his email kinda rubs me the wrong way for someone who is asking for free work.

Got it too. He didn't leave a signature or other professional info so I deleted.

Posted by Lin Hult on June 20, 2014 at 5:15pm

I got it too.  Very vague and mentions educational program for kids but doesn't name it?  Not sounding too professional.

Posted by Mary C. Ferrara on June 20, 2014 at 4:53pm

I was contacted by him too. I'm curious as well.

Posted by Sean B. McPherson on June 20, 2014 at 4:51pm

Hi, guys! Has anyone heard of or been contacted by Jeff Cohen? I want to make sure it's not a scam. When I googled "jeff cohen" + scam, some entertainment scams came up with his name for "Modle 411," but I'm not sure.
