I just got this call the other day. im a 16 year old boy. and they asked for me.so i told them i would have them speak to my mother. and they did. they want me to go to an apointment for a ''photo shoot'' now that i have done all my research im going to continue and go there. just for the experiance. and im going to see if this stuff is all true. by all the storys i think it is. they do have connections. but if they ask me for money im not going to go. i have learned that you shouldent be paying. they should deduct the amount of monney your making because they beleave in you. and to let people know the lady that asked me was at the milford mall. near the food court but it might change. ill be bake to report what happins. thank you for all of your help
My daughter was scouted at a manchester mall this past weekend. After much insisting In her part i made the appointment and my husband and I made the 1 1/2 hour trip. Long story-short I told the appointmet setter i didn't want my time wasted if this was going to cost me any money in any way...He said NO. That the appt is Free...It is a Free eval..Just bring Three Pics to start a portfolio.. with different poses and the director will take it from there and will tell u what will need to be done-that if you're daughter really has what there looking for you shouldn't have to put out any money. At any point in time did he mention that (Kevin) my daughter would have to pay a professional photographer between 550 to 3000 dollars for pics I told him I didn't want my time wasted and I made this clear more than once. This caused an argument between myself my daughter and my husband, even tension my daughter even wanting to put money out of her savings for this scam. I eventually had to walk out because the evaluator started raising her voice and trying to make me see it her way and no other way and trying to persuade my daughter as her only hope. Im only glad it was only $90 dollars for gas on not $550. Interface is a SCAMMER and Liars!!!

My son was scammed out of $650 by this company. Fortunately he paid with a credit card and the credit card company was able to recover the money after the charge was disputed. He canceled his contract within the three days by certified mail but when a refund didn't come from InterFace, he got Connecticut's Attorney General and the Department of Consumer Protection involved. An important lesson was learned. If you feel you've been scammed by any disreputable company, don't hesitate to call or write the AG's office - they are there for you!

I haven't received a call from InterFace. But I am a resident of SoNo and see what is going on, on my block. Their horrible dressed, dread-locked photographer was taking photos of 3 12 year old looking girls on MY PROPERTY. I live in a building that has private parking, no gate, unfortunately, and my first thought was, people drive very fast around this parking lot, my dog and i have almost gotten hit a couple of times by tenants, it's pretty dangerous to have children posing for photography in the driveway. When i saw the photographer again with a different group of children, i confronted them. I asked if they had permission from the landlord to use the premises for their business. I also mentioned that i am a resident and pay for use of the parking lots/driveways and building and they clearly were not. The slick/rude photographer asked me if i had a problem with them being there and i said yes! please keep their practice to the public areas. And the mother looked horrified and they trudged down the driveway. I gotta tell you, i run down by the river, past their office a couple times a week at various hours of the day and i see countless parents and children of all ages loading strollers and baby bags into their office. PLEASE DON'T PAWN YOUR KIDS OFF TO THEM! They are rude to the residents in the area and have no consideration for the public, they should get a studio if they want to conduct photoshoots in the area and leave the residents and visitors of SoNo to their private activities and lives. If anyone knows more about how to get a company like this removed from the community, like i've heard they did in NJ. Please let me know. Lets do something about this, i feel bad for the residents in this area with children that probably get approached daily. do you think it was a coincidence that they bought up a shop right across from an aquarium?
disrespectful, disgusting and rude.
well i also received a phone call from interface. Me and my husband actually did not answer but they kept calling anyways. They finally stopped. THen just a few days ago i decided to call interface because i've always wanted to put my son into modeling. So when i called i spoke to a girl that her name was TRUDY she was nice but when i tried to ask her questions she wouldnt try to answer them. She then scheduled me for saturday at one oçlock which was today. When i went to work i told one of my co workers about this business. she told me not to do it because it is a scam. she said that they charged her 500 and they didnt even give her the pictures. she didnt really get into details about it. all she told me was that it took her six months to receive her pictures. so i went on the website of interface and starting looking at testimonials from different types of agencies. So i decided to look up each and every agency that gave them a testimony. i started to call them and wanted to talk to the people that were listed in interfaces testomonies. one of the people were on vacation so i spoke to another manager they told me that they have never heard of them before. i've called a few they all told me the same thing. but i wanted to talk to the people that said the comments so i decided to write to them. i just emailed them yesterday hopefully i will get a response soon. the thing is that i've got ripped off before and i dont want to get conned again. but from all the comments that i've been seeing not just from this website but also from another especially from someone that works there even said that it is a scam. now picture that. imagine if someone tells you something like that what would you think it is a scam. well now i think i heard and seen enough i've decided that it is all a scam. everyone comes out losing so if i were u i would definitly look into it before putting any money down.
