Columbia, South CarolinaI'm asking for my money back with them - I guess I just don't have what it takes, but when I finally got too call backs, I did what all the other models on there did - bragged on the forum. I got wailed - the thread got so out of hand, it finally got deleted....these threads are unmoderated -- don't waste your money on this site, or your self-esteem will be ripped to shreds....it was the most awful experience, I've ever had on a message board.

models.com is NOT a ripoff
What the author of the initial post is leaving out is that she was very rude and showoffy to other members. She came looking for criticism and didn't like what she heard when we told her the group who called her in for a modeling job was a scam so suddenly models.com is a rip off (in her eyes) because she didn't like being told that she was not fashion model material. Sorry, it's a tough business, but not everyone is fashion model material.

Here's what you do: Civil recourse...
See your local attorney's office with expertise in internet and civil law. Be sure to save then file/print all posts before they get deleted and turn them in to the attorneys. Models.com has been known to ban individuals for no reason and delete their posts, while allowing people to make ridiculous statements which do NOT get deleted, and even going off-site to other sites (like ModelMayhem) to get individuals banned there too.
Any attempt to try to find out why they did it will be met with silence or an extremely vague answer, so you must go STRAIGHT TO AN ATTORNEY. That attorney will subpoena the entire recorded threads and use them as evidence, and will do email subpoenas to see if you were slandered on-site or off-site. If you have been the victim of verbal abuse in ANY WAY by anyone on that site and if you went to a moderator to straighten it out, and it was YOU who got banned from the site, then you have civil recourse against the site. Models.com is facing one such huge civil suit right now from a photographer who was attacked on the site and he went to a moderator for help, and was attacked by other people in the thread and even by the moderator.
This photographer was banned from the site, completely, and had done nothing wrong. I have copies of his thread (in it's entirety, before his posts were deleted off the thread) in my possession. Amy's response to you was not a good one, actually quite haughty, and can lend to fuel for a lawsuit against them, because 1) It does not address the problem and 2) It does not solve the problem and 3) She is assuming you are not model material without seeing or knowing you and is justifying those events based on that. Any such site is no place for a lady, and I recommend you stay away from that site and any other TVTaxi-owned site.
You need the protection of an agency. Stay away from double-dealing scouts. Make a name for yourself if you can and get well known with your free shoots from talented photographers there, until an agency picks you up. Otherwise you'll be sorely mistreated elsewhere. If you'll be willing to walk away from www.models.com without a refund, and just let it be a permanent record of not only your report but also Amy's poor rebuttal to your complaint, then let the permanent record show that their attitude offsite is a reflection of their attitude onsite, and it cannot be erased. Just let it go, we see the problem, and it's not you.
