Legal Question in Entertainment Law in California

Small Claims

I won the judgement for my small

claims against a woman who used

false advertising to get me to pay for

modeling headshots. She placed an

ad looking for models and said the job

would pay $1300-$2400. She said

she loved my look but would need

pictures first. I paid her $750 for the

pix thinking I'd get this job. I never

heard from her again after receiving

the pix, therefore she never gave me

the job. And worse the pix were poor

quality and unprofessional and I

could not get any work off those

photos!! This has happened to

several other models and one of

those models filed the small claims

with me. So we had a sheriff serve

her papers at her office. We won the

judgement on Mon Jan 5 because

she was a no show, and this morning

Jan 8 I get a call from the woman's

partner saying they are going to sue

us for fraud because they never got

served!! Can this really happen? Or

are they just trying to scare us?
