I got a call from them. Seemed rather shady as he asked me about my union status and if I have current representation/agent/manager. He said I contacted them about catalogue modeling. Then he said he was from an answering service and would have a rep contact me. When I asked where will they be contacting me from he said "thanks very much have a great day daniel" and hung up on me. I was trying to stop him and say "excuse me" to clarify who the company is, but he hung up anyway. Scam?

I got a call from these people with the same story. Very hurried and rushed and he was anxious to get off the phone. I normally ask alot of questions and he pretended not to have heard what I said and said"have a great day" and hung up. He wanted to make an appointment with me the same day before 5pm (it was already 3:45pm). I called back and asked what the name of the company was and what the website was (models.com). Upon researching the website...why would I need to have an interview with a company who provides free webpages/portfolios to any type of model on their website without ever having to see them in person? Kind of shady.
same thing. Shady dude called "Alex" who made some kind of vague reference to a catalog.
When I asked him to clarify he kept pushing and asking in an impertinent way if I wanted to come in or not. I told him I didn't know what it was in reference to and he said curtly, "well I guess you aren't interested then. Bye" and hung up.
When I called back the number some weird voicemail came up, "hello, please enter your mailbox number" and when you hung on the line, 5 seconds later it said "goodbye" and hung up. Totally wierd.
same exact thing happened to me! it was very rushed and they hung up on me when i asked what the name of the company was. i was told to meet them at 14 wall street 20th floor? i figured it was a scam and was happy i googled the number and saw what you guys all wrote before i actually went. haha what losers i wonder what they would have done if we actually showed up.
Total scam. Same here, alex called and asked me a lot of ques like union status and if I have a rep, etc. It was my first time going to something like this so I didn't know it was a scam at first. They asked me to go to 14 wall st and call 212 576 8811 when I'm downstairs so someone can get me. It took them 15 minutes to come down. Christopher took me to the 20th floor and kept telling me the holiday season is a great time to come into the business. Isn't it a little late for holiday catalogs in mid dec? I shouldve realized. I sat in a waiting area for another 10 min and a lady brings me in asking my name and when I asked hers, she ignored the ques. She took me to a small room w some pics on the wall and told me those were some of the people she's represented and again the whole thing about how the holidays are a good time to get into the industry. She showed me a website w more photos and I tried to remember it. Something like castingcall.com or something like that. But then she said I needed to pay $330 for photos. I finally realized it was a scam. I said I couldn't afford it and she asked if I could get the money in any other way. I said no. She said call me in jan if u have the money and promptly escorted me out. A waste of my time. Should have googled it first. Don't bother going there!
