A STRING of glamour girls say they were duped after signing up for a Hunted-style reality show.
The ten OnlyFans models were promised £850-a-day to appear in the “battle of the babes” contest as they tried to evade capture by a team of Special Forces vets.
But the project was axed and they claim they are out of pocket after forking out for training, and fear they were used to get access to their social media followings.
The women were sent contracts by self-proclaimed director Alfred McArthur, an Army veteran.
They were told the show, called Survivor, would be streamed on Amazon, Netflix and in the US on The Weather Channel.
But they feared the worst when a red carpet event in January was axed — before the show was pulled.

McArthur denies it was a scam and says he was in talks with networks via a US producer.
Playboy star Kayleigh Wanless, 32, who has 15,000 subscribers to her OnlyFans page, said: “It was just a fantasy that has hurt a lot of women.”
Kayleigh, of Newcastle, said McArthur got nasty when the models became suspicious.
She added: “He said there were loads of women he could get to do it and we were working with an American TV network now and not Babestation so we should be more professional.

Model Paige Starr, 35, said: “It is worrying someone can sell something like this as reality and it is a load of rubbish.”
McArthur, of Dunoon, Argyll and Bute, insisted: “Survivor was a real thing, it wasn’t fake.
“It got pulled roughly five weeks ago.
“When the can was pulled, they went ape.
“They said they’d lost out on money, this, this and this.
“I was like, ‘Ladies, I told you this was going to happen’.
“Too many girls wanting this, wanting that.
