Not sure if you are referring to this: http://www.flickr.com/groups/callforartists/

I think you are very right on this. This type of info needs to be verified to prevent strangers from scamming you.

It's official. Been with them for almost a year now. Returns (monetary) are alright.

Getty has a tie up with Flickr.

It is likely they are scanning Flickr for a particular image wanted by their client, and you have it. So they invite you to contribute it.
