at its best!

do not do not do not!!! fall for this like i did...

Interface talent network is nothing but a scam. They have scouts in the local malls and they will come up to you and tell you have cute your child is and how they would make a great model. They have you call to make an appointment for a "FREE" consultation. They tell you to bring your i.d. and a credit card so they can verify that its really you. Which is  NOT the case.

Once your there they tell you how great your kid will do and tell your child will be in ads and commercials. That they can earn money that you can use for college. That your child is a star. But the reason they tell you to bring a credit card is that you need to pay for a photo shoot so they can make composite cards. And the packages are not cheap!!!

They are hundreds of dollars and even as much as a thousand dollars. But dont worry your child is going to be a model!! RIGHT!!! And if you are kinda taken back by those prices like I was, they will work with you, do something that " they dont just do for anyone" "they think that my kid is going to do so great that they give me a money voucher" to cut a hundred bucks off the price. 

So once you fall for that crap like i did, they make your appointment right away for your photo shoot. They never told me that if i wanted to cancel it would be a hassle. They never told me that you have to pay for more. They make it sound like thats it but thats not the case. 

Once I got home and actually thought about it, I decided to cancel. I wanted to think about it some more and make sure I was making a good decision for my son because this wasnt something that was cheap. So i called to cancel and they transfered me over to Greg Allen, which was like a manager or something, and i told him my situation and explained that i felt pressured and rush in it and i changed my mind. I told him that im a single mother and thats alot of money and that i dont think im going to be ablke to afford it after all. He proceeded to tell me that hes a Christian and as a Christian he would treat my son as his own and he would make sure my son gets something out of this. He kept preaching to me about god.This went on for a while and i ended up believing him.

Once my son did his photo shoot and the pictures came in they have you come down and look at them. Thats when they tell you after the hundreds of dollars you just spent on photos and clothes they need more. Like a few hundred more. I thought that was crazy but you have no chose but to do it... your stuck...


after all the money that was spent on this whole processes my son got one audition. which was an open audition to everyone and there mother. but when they told us about it they make it sound like your the only one that will be there. they want to see you!! NOT!! the place was packed when we got there and it wasnt even a guarantee that my son would be seen because there was so many people.

Really its not worth it. You may think im just an angry mom thats upset because my son didnt get any modeling jobs. But thats not the case... Im mad because they lie to you, preach god to you, do whatever they have to do so you can fall for there scam. And that just not right, please do your research and learn my my mistake. Not only will they hurt you, they will hurt your children.

Interface staff are snakes who spit glowing compliments

AUTHOR: Milan - ()

Really, some Interface staff cares and will respond in a timely manner! OK then, start by refunding the $3,000 Interface stole from me.


Despicable is a good description of Interface! They are heartless criminals who do not care one bit about their preys. Interface agencies simply do not respect the law. They have zero integrity and full contempt of the law which naively allows them to operate despite countless complaints from some victims.


 If you make a search of Interface's models or artists, you won't find any, except lies Interface makes up of its own agencies. This is because Interface keeps a secret database of thousands and thousands of its clients. Have you ever heard about a marketing company that hides its products? Anyone who sees Interface databases would understand why. The whole business is rooted in lies and false hope.


How many people will Interface reap off before their owners actually go to jail where they belong? I only hope that prospects will make a little research before they give a cent to these snakes.


They compel me to pay them over $3000 in service fees to market my music. When I make a Google search, I could not find one single proof of their advertising on my behalf. When I call to find out what they are doing, they start to send me to remote scam places. It even appears that they would mob me in one of these places if I was not with my husband!


Finally I called a center from another State, looking for artists and singers- At this time, I was organizing a local fair, and could have used some, but wanted to know the fate of my file with them. I was given a password to access a database of thousands of hopeful prospects. I was bewildered!  


Interface staff bluntly lies by offering the sky when they know that they will simply bury your files in a cemetery of victims. It is shocking that they can operate in the open like this.

#2 REBUTTAL Individual responds

InterFace in my opinion is a scam

AUTHOR: Jack OfallTrades - ()

DO NOT FALL FOR IT, DO NOT SIGN WITH THEM, DONT GIVE THEM A PENNIE. I have been a ripped off by them, they suckered me, no doubts about it.If anyone has any interest in modeling or background work, becoming an actor I can help at no cost at all. InterFace didnt help me at all while I was a client by them, didnt get one job or an audition, I get all my jobs from Casting Networks and my auditions are from Actors Access, interFace hasnt help my acting career at all. I have yet to find a person on the set that to tell me that InterFace helped them get jobs better then non union jobs. I have been with InterFace for few months, I think anyone would agree that 90 days is long enough to get me any kind of modeling or an audition from all the companies they supposedly deal with. If anyone needs anymore information please contact me on Facebook Jack OfAllTrades or email me at yaviad@hotmail.com, will be more then happy to share with anyone my personal succeed.

It was obvious to me.

AUTHOR: Patti-Anne - (United States of America)

I would like to respond to the victims of Interface.com.
I was walking at a busy mall when I saw a woman who had just been standing at a booth with a sign "Interface", making a B-line towards us.  She asked my daughter if she had ever acted or modeled and my daughter responded with obvious enthusiasm, "no!"  I am sure anyone of you approached by Interface.com heard their words of enticement.  What is puzzling to me is how so many people were fooled.  If Interface is a upstanding and legitamite company that can get your child to a company who will make your child into a model or actor/actress; They Would Not Ask For Money!  Hello to parents everywhere!!!  You are naive to think your little Mary or little Johnny is going to be chosen from many, many, other children walking in a mall.  Sure, there are a few true stories of actors being "discovered" in an icecream shop, walking down the street or any random place people walk or sit.  But, those stories make the news because, it doesn't happen often.  That is why it is news; it rarely happens!

 Shame on parent's who were not aware enough to check on companies who they hand a large some of money.  I bet many of the victims of the Interface speel, would never leave an establishment without checking the bill to make sure it's accurate.  How can you not check out Interface without a thorough, extensive check before your dreams of your child's fame and celebrity cloud your view?  I don't feel sorry at all for you so called "Victim's" who didn't do their homework, unless Interface enticed a disabled person who didn't happen to know better.  To all victim's of Interface... Use Your Common Sense!  Your stories of woe don't convince me, you didn't raise your hand and say, "Pick Me! I will be your sucker today!" Figuratively speaking, of course.
