Just this past weekend I was at the mall with my 15 year old daughter and we were approached by a woman from got talent online. com ( they are a the mall ALL the time) she couldn't stop raving about my daughter and her hair. My daughter is very pretty but has horrible self esteem so I thought what would it hurt to give them our number. Now I read this (after looking up the number that just called me) and I feel so dumb.... but I would never fall for it thank goodness! Why would I pay someone if they really want to get her into modeling
Our daughter was contacted by a scam Talent Agency in one of the malls she hangs out in. They got her all excited about becoming a model. BEWARE .. They call continuously .. even after you tell them you're not interested and would press charges if they insist on coercing our daughter. We've been through this before with our other daughter .. first they con you into attending a group meeting (usually a hotel conference room) where they just so happen to have a photographer on location. They take photos and immediately want you to pay for a package without seeing them. They refused to let us see the proofs before purchasing, so we didn't buy. But other girls did. By the way .. they are quite unprofessional quality photos once you do see them. NEVER EVER submit your child to these scam artists. The photos NEVER see any agents .. and also BEWARE of bogus Beauty Pageants that they claim representatives from movies and magazines will be in attendance. They charge a significant fee, get you to purchase expensive dresses etc for your daughter, and end up crowning the most likely candidate whose parents will cough up more money. My daughter's friend went through the whole thing and was permanently distressed over the treatment she received. Anyone asking for money up front is not interested in your child .. only your money!!!
I too got a call from this no. when my Sister fell for this modelling trap for my nephew. The modelling agents were placed in the Stamford Town Center, a reputed mall, so my sister didn't hesitate in giving our phone no. Glad that I googled the no. and found out about them
