Do not fall for this scam. They aproach you in Malls!
Do not sign up for the "informational meeting".
It's a scam. They are listed on Better Business Bureau and have tried this in several States.
They convince you they are ligit.
They take you bank info and say they can't cancel one you commit and sign paperwork.
They force you to sign before leaving while your kids are right there with you!
They claim our kids will be in print. Thi sis a lie!
They want you to pay for the pictures after you have spent money for what they call a day of luxury for your kids. Hair makeup, wardrobe consult........its a lie.
You can have a portfolio done of your kids and do the leg work yourself if your kids are interested in the business.
I fell for this and regret the time and money wasted.
Don't do it!
I will be sending a letter to the local mall with info on this so called business being run right out of our local malls.
How disappointing that people will prey on children and their caregivers like this.
Thank goodness for the internet to be able to research their background and find out as much info as they have on us now!!!!!!
Good day and happy shopping.....

SUBMITTED: Thursday, June 28, 2012
I went to the Framingham, Ma location, brought two forms of ID, neither one a credit card and spoke to the Marketing Director. In one hour, I did not feel pressured, rushed or guilty. At any moment, I could have walked away. I found her to be very realistic about my daughter's chances. Nothing was promised, or guaranteed. I don't have any expectations of my daughter being an overnight sensation and like with anything, it does take time to get results.
I am familiar with modeling agencies and this is not a modeling agency. They do a lot of photos and there are expenses attached to that, nothing in life is free.
Everyone always thinks their child is going to be 'the one' and when they aren't, they are pissed off. If you wanted a resume written by a professional, you might pay 100 bucks or more for a service like that. Would you hold your resume writer hostage because you didn't get a job? This is the same thing on a different level.
You have to be proactive as a parent. If you want your child to model then you have to find other outlets also. Go directly to Modeling Agencies, send in head shots, network with other moms, etc. The entertainment business is tricky. They want a brown eyed child with one freckle in just the right spot. They might look through 100s of photos to find that kid.
If you don't have money to spend, my advice is to walk away. I think a lot of parents think their kid is going to land a Disney Show. This is like the lottery. Many people will play but only one or two people ever win. That's the business.
I work in a similar industry and it works very similar. I have a job for a candidate. If that candidate doesn't return my calls in a timely manner or can't drop everything to go to a job interview or can't make up a decision or doesn't wear a suit to the interview, why would I want to work with them? I wouldn't, I have 10 other candidates waiting to take his place. It would be unreasonable for this candidate to come back to me whining about how I didn't get them a job.
If you are sharp and reasonable about your chances and you are prompt in getting back with your director, you will more than likely get jobs to take your kids to. In some cases you might only get free clothes for your troubles. The more work your child completes through this firm, the more chances you have of getting an agent who can get you those 'dreams' you envision. This firm is just a step on the stepping stone to finding success, you have to do your work too.
Hope this helps provide a different persepective. I mean no disrespect to this poster because I am sure every experience is different and there are unethical directors just like there are unethical recruiters. Do your homework, make a decision based on what you hear, see and can afford, ask questions. Only spend the money if you can 'loose' 1k, 2k without it making you homeless.
