Hoax or Real ?

[corona]

Sometime ago I was contacted by someone claiming to be photographer ?Hans van Uden?. To be honest I was slightly dubious at first, but played along anyway, as after all, what did I have to loose?

Hans van Uden claimed to be a photographer, who shot photo?s of various glamour models, including Debbie van Gils. It sounded too good to be true. I waited for the images. They never arrived. I did some research, and sure enough there is someone out there called Hans van Uden, who is / was a glamour photographer. At one point, I even found myself exchanging emails with a model who had worked with Hans van Uden, although she no-longer had Hans contact details.

As time passed, I became more and more dubious. Could this be someone impersonating Hans van Uden?

The last thing I wanted to do was call the ?person? a Hans van Uden impersonator

An image arrived. The image can be viewed here:

I have no idea of the image?s origins, although it is Debbie van Gils without doubt. I asked Hans if he wanted to supply some words to go with the image, he declined. I found this odd. Something else I found odd. Why would a photographer only supply 1 image, of such a low quality?

Until the source of the image is located, we?ll / I?ll have to assume it really is an exclusive image.

Odd indeed; he seems eccentric enough to be British : -))

...ah, but that might just be part of his Blighty eccentricity, like those families
who name their kids after the entire Liverpoool squad : -)

Has he asked for any money? I'm puzzled as to what [if anything] this individual
hopes to gain.

No, no money. I wouldn't have parted with cash. Maybe if he sent real photo's, exclusive / unused, i would have been tempted
