"Can I ask
you about the scripts you're using to sell the contests?" Todd
Ulrich asks while confronting David Elliot, the same David Elliot we
found running the sales room two years ago at Options Talent, a controversial
model scouting company under state investigation for misleading sales
tactics. "Why don't you talk to Elizabeth Neff? She had all the
scripts and everything," he replies. It's also the same David Elliot
who has a criminal past."

- "Can I ask you about the scripts you're using to sell the contests?" Todd
Ulrich asks while confronting David Elliot, the same David Elliot we
found running the sales room two years ago at Options Talent, a controversial
model scouting company under state investigation for misleading sales
tactics. "Why don't you talk to Elizabeth Neff? She had all the
scripts and everything," he replies. It's also the same David Elliot
who has a criminal past."1
Speaking of the advertising for the scam which sent him to prison, Elliot
said: "I'm sure in America somewhere those jobs existed, but we did
not have them. Those ads were simply made up because they drew high volume
calls."2
Elliot was arrested in Orlando in 1990:
- Four officers in a Maitland business that helps other companies get
loans were charged Wednesday with illegally taping telephone calls. Patrick
Read, 29, of Apopka, president of the Small Business Loan Association;
G. Thomas Bradshaw, 24, of Altamonte Springs, vice president; Michael
Difrawi, 26, of Altamonte Springs, vice president; and David Elliott
[sic], 27, of Orlando, national sales manager, were all released
from jail on $1,000 bail after being charged with unlawful interception
of an oral communication, a felony that carries a maximum sentence of
5 years in prison and $5,000 fine.3
Elliot held a sales and marketing leadership position at the controversial
model marketing company, Options Talent, aka Trans Continental Talent,
after he had served time in prison:
- From approximately October 2001 through September 25, 2002, Mr. David
Elliot served as a Senior Vice President of Sales of TCTI. Mr. Elliot
was terminated on September 25, 2002 with three weeks' notice. On or
about October 18, 1995, Mr. Elliot pled guilty to a federal charge of

him in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida
and the United States District Court for the District of Columbia and
