At least 98% of those who work as contractors for modeling agencies enjoy the experience and are successful, both for themselves and for the agency which contracted with them.
There are, however, in any group of people, those who make like difficult for the majority. You can read their libelous gossip here. The blatant lies included in this nonsense are nothing short of amazing. It's very easy for poor-performers to come to a site like this and libel an agency. It comes from one or more of the following:
- Not doing the job they were contracted to do.
- Violating the terms of the contract they signed.
- Not understanding the terms of the contract. This is especially true of beginners.
- Being desperate for money.
- Expecting to get a check the day the job ends.
- Gossip like what is found on this site.
For modeling contractors, payment can sometimes take many weeks. It's a reality of this type of work. Musicians, actors, models.....it's a known and accepted norm in such industries that checks take time. It depends on a long list of variables. Today's economy is especially relevant.
These scam Internet sites are an easy, and illegal, way for poor-performers to libel a reputable business that merely held them to the terms of the agreement they signed. There's no confirmation required for any of this nonsense; they just post it and move on. They don't, however, ever come back and correct their libelous conduct once they get paid. Sites like this one exist for one reason: to make money! They attempt to sell advice to those complaining and "reputation repair" services to those who have been libeled. It's all a big scam.
To the hundreds of model contractors who work in this industry, who contract for work, do your job, get paid, and move on to the next job, thank you! Yes...in this economy, payment can be slow. That's not in dispute. However, those of you who do this often know that, eventually, the major agencies do send your check. Maybe not as fast as you like but you aren't libeling them here. To those who shouldn't be attempting to work as a contractor model, who are desperate for money and can't abide by the terms to which you agreed, who don't have the skill-set required and muddy the water for everyone and then whine here when you get docked part of your pay (or don't get paid at all for violating the terms you agreed to), everyone would really appreciate it if you just moved on and found something else to do.
Why file a report here? Ripoff Report is a permanent record! Other complaint sites copy our content then remove reports for money.
