Most if not all of them are scams.
I would guess that a genuine UTR operation would not want to work with a lady who has posted pictures of herself on the Internet if their UTR status is the main reason why their clients do business with them.
I also receive work offer from agencies, some of them who claim to be UTR, some others who have a full website. Sending such offers to established independents is tacky.

I do believe in a strong network of referrals. The gents I have met are always asking me for suggestions and I'm happy to make introductions, as are many other ladies. However, putting myself into the hands of people I never met, who can't tell much about themselves or the people that I'd be meeting seems unwise.
I always reply that I'd be happy to consider their offer, if they provide me with information that would assure me they're legitimate and have a trusted reputation. Then I just never hear back.
