A modeling agency called me?
2016-09-27 11:28 am
Yesterday I got a call from a lady. She has been calling for days but my mom didn't answer because she didn't know who it was. When I answered she asked me if I was interested in commercial modeling, print, promotional, and acting modeling. I remember signing up for something at the mall around early March and now it's late September, they picked different girls & want us to meet them at a hotel. They also said it would take abt 45 mins, she said they just want to see our style in clothing, our hair, skin, etc. Do you think this is a scam or not?

It is a definite scam. They're around in my area, calling all my friends and even CONTINUED TO CALL after my friends rejected their requests. They're more like a business or a school - not a real agency.

Of course its a scam. No agency cares about your style, and none of them have anyone sign up for anything at a mall. It's just a scam to sell photos and lessons and maybe make up.

Those are scams
Legitimate agencies do not sign people up in malls and do not meet people at hotels. They have a website where you submit your photos and measurements, and if you are at least 5'8" or taller with perfect 34-24-34" model measurements, they invite you to their office during normal business hours - Monday to Friday, 9-5
This is a scam that will call your mom a day or two later saying you were "1 out of only 15 chosen" but since you have no previous experience you need to take classes ($3000+), get a professional portfolio done ($1000), participate in a showcase ($4000), etc, etc. The whole scam is to get your money, not get you jobs. Nobody who goes to these ever gets a single paid modeling job
Legitimate agencies never make you pay them for classes, photos, showcases or anything else.

If you are under legal age, you should go with your legal guardian (parent). Do not sign anything without reading thoroughly and optionally checking with a lawyer. Do not allow your photo to be taken without having a "model release" document which clearly states the purpose of the photo and the limitations of its use. Beware of terms like "unlimited" or "exclusive". And they should be paying you for your time, never the other way around.

There are a lot of these 'modelling agencies' about, and they operate in places like Malls and stop girls and tell the they have 'potential'.... they stop a LOT of people, no matter what they look like, and tell them the same story. It's a scam, they get you there, they get you all excited and then ask for money....... then you know its a scam. Google the name of the 'agency' and see what you can find out... but I would bet good money its a scam.

There are a lot of scams around. If you go, take someone with you and don't sign anything that might involve you in paying money. If it's a genuine agency, they pay you.

Some advice, if they ask for ANY money from you it is a fraud, and a common one too.
