I paid $2200 for my daughter to be put in A Modelsourcebook. This was through REM Studios in Chicago, Illinois. The numbers that were given to me are either out of order or I don't get an answer or response. My daughter did have the pictures taken but there has never been a book like this. She was supposed to have a headshot and 6 other pictures put into this book along with 60 models. She was supposed to be in two issues. Then REM Studios was supposed to send the book to over 800 agencies throughout the US. Then they were supposed to send the book to 20 agencies of our choice on top of that. We were very excited about this. It takes me up to 5 mo. of working at my job in order to make $2200. I would like help of getting this money back. Plus, gas money to go three hrs. for the interview, pictures, etc. If there is no way of getting this money back, I just want to warn others to completely stay away from REM Studios. They will promise you the world and you won't get anything in return except a lot of worries and an empty bank account. If REM Studios calls you for any reason at all, run the other way as fast as you can. I hope this will help others. All the other reports that you may have read about Robert ( Latte ) are true. I have dealt with Robert in the past. We were sent to a workshop in NYC where my daughter met with agents. I know he is also involved with IMTA and will try everything to get you to do this too. BEWARE- he is sharp and has employees that can talk you into anything.
Thanks, Annonymous in Illinois
