This company is a scam and the people running it have been doing it for years under different names in different cities.  When they get shut down, they move on and do it again.  If you've been to the office in Philly or Feasterville you've probably met "Mike James". Well his real name is Michael Fomkin and he has been involved in several modeling and talent scams including the infamous Willamenia Scouting Network Scam.

Here's a link to an article about that scam and others he has been involved with that includes a picture.  He's a lot fatter now, but it's him.

Really nothing good can come from associating yourself with this company.  They have enough smoke and mirrors to create a pretty convincing front, just like the rest of them did, but it is a deceitful business and if their tactics aren't downright illegal they are unquestionably immoral.  Don't waste your money or your time.

Let my experience save you time, money, face

AUTHOR: Karen - (U.S.A.)

Many people feel scammed because they make a huge investment and build a lot of hope for little return. I was a talent scout for 3 weeks, which will only have been worth it if I can help other people make up their minds about the company and their "opportunities." I have candidly described my experience in my last newsletter and vlog.

Not A Scam!

AUTHOR: tracy1215 - (United States of America)

    I took my daughter to the last V.I.P. summit that Alycia Kaback had at Caroline's in New York City. I paid the money. Yep, it was expensive. But I don't think renting out Caroline's was cheap. We met some actors from TV and Movies, not huge actors, but recognizable actors, none the less. Actors from Broadway, authors and producers.

    She even met Teri Bostaji, the director of Wilhelmina Kids and Teens. She will be meeting her again for a full interview. This company never claimed to be agents. This company had always done exactly what they said they would. Manage my daughters modeling. From sending us on castings, to fashion shows and helping to build her portfolio on and offline. They offer workshops, monthly for Q&A with directors, actors, singers, authors. They may not be A list actors and such, but this company is fairly new and I see big things in her and their future. Invest in yourself if you have it. You don't have to go to thesummits, but it was quite and amazing experience. My daughter ahd a ball and met many wonderful people. So, before you believe complaints online, sit down and talk to someone there. One of the knowledgable people in their staff. Baby Steps.

Not a scam at all

AUTHOR: Blu Hipp - (United States of America)

I just attended a VIP event in NYC and it was a very valid networking event. I was really nervous because I had to pay to attend but it was completely worth it. I am so glad I didn't listen to any of these scam reports, the contacts I made from this event were amazing!
