If you can't buy a modeling career for $4.6 million, you simply weren't meant to strut runways or grace Vogue's pages. But that didn't stop Chanise Coyne from scamming parents across Florida out of millions, hoping their children would hit the big time. Coyne had no photos in her hands. Actor and comedian Brandon Kyle Goodman joins Laci Mosley for a mind-boggling trip into the Facebook pages, artist squabbles, and unbelievable bank accounts of America's wannabe models.
