 I was contacted by a so-called representative of this agency who uses the name monica siers. As you read on you will see I do not really think this person is a female with that name. At first it seemed as though this agency was completely legit. Their website claims to have been in business since 1982 based originally out of New York. I was originally asked to send nude images front back and side when applying for the agency. Which is sometimes normal however after I was requested to send sample amateur sexual videos I began to get suspicious. When I began to dig deeper after certain things occurred on a Skype interview I found the website to have just been built less than 1 month ago. Digging deeper in research I concluded that there You Tube sample videos, and their website we're all just posted and started less than a month ago. Their Twitter and Instagram accounts were also just opened. When I dug deeper into who owned the website all phone numbers have been disconnected and the website has been opened out of Pennsylvania. If a company has been in business since 1982 and claims to be as big as they do, I questioned why so little followers on all these various social media sites. When I reached out to my contact from this so called agency and ask for references from models all of the sudden I never heard back from them again. Be warned they seem very legit, they have gone through great lengths to build a fake website and put together fake videos. I'm still trying to figure out if the images they use on their website are stolen from other women and are they under copyright violations. They scammed me out of a lot of videos and pictures before I figured out that this is probably some nasty picture collector who gets off on doing this to women who are already involved in the modeling industry. I have tried to reach out to Twitter and I've tried to contact the host of their website. If anyone thinks that they can help me with this let me know as I know I can't reach every Model out there but I can stop him / her for from preying on innocent hopeful young woman trying to get into the industry.

The 1st Post By Anonymous is Bogus

AUTHOR: Michelle A. - (USA)

POSTED: Friday, March 25, 2016

The first post by anynymous is bogus. I work for them as a model and have been for 5 years, my friends are in it too and have been for 3 years. Don't know where this person get's their research bt it is wrong, do not trust it. I can tell you that they are very professional and have been since I have been working there. They take care of everything and look out for their employees.

The First Post Is A Lie

AUTHOR: Claudia - (USA)

POSTED: Tuesday, March 22, 2016

My friends originally helped me get into BMT and told me about them. The information that anonymous gave is all wrong and should not be considered. I still model for BMT, I travel all over the world and they are able to find me work. I have been with them for 3 years now. Everyone beware, the first post is spreading lies about BMT.

The First Report Is A Lie

AUTHOR: Christy - (USA)

POSTED: Monday, March 21, 2016

First off, I model for BMT and have been for 2 years now. The person who wrote the first negative review is totally wrong and spreading lies. BMT's lawyers should look into the anonymous person. First off, the phone number they give is totally wrong. According to her "internet" they are based out of Pennsylvania? That makes no sense, they are based out of NY, so no clue where this person get's their "info". According to anonymous a company's prestige and importance and legitimacy is based on how many twitter followers, youtube views, youtube subscribers it has? WOW! You don't have to be the smartest person to be a model but you do have to have common sense. There are huge companies from all over the world that don't have any social media presence. For example the department store Carson Pirie Scott has a twitter with only 1,500 followers, and they don't have a YouTube.  According to annonymous they must also be fake right? Anyone with common sense can see that the post is fake. Looks like it was written by a 7 year old. I model for BMT and the truth is that they don't need any social media presence, they don't need to market. They are primarily as B2B business, for those that don't know what that is, it is a business to business. Businesses know about them, not necessarily the average consumer, kind of like Cisco, if you don't know what that company is, it doesn't matter, they are a business to business too! Not that anonymous knows anything about businesses and  their practices. What you read on BMT's website is true, you do get driven to and from the shoots and do get a free gym membership. I have met with the BMT managers and they are all very nice and very professional. In closing, don't believe that false BMT report that was written by a 7 year old who's "research" is biased and false.

The Negative Report Sounds Fake

AUTHOR: Samantha - (USA)

POSTED: Monday, March 21, 2016

That negative comment about the company sounds like a fake person or another company trying to attack BMT. I am currently going through the application process with them and I asked them for references and they gave them to me automatically. My friend is also applying to them and so far everything has been smooth. Don't believe everything you read online especially from a fake anonymous source, prob another company trying to hurt their rep.

I model for them

AUTHOR: VeronicaVargas - (USA)

POSTED: Monday, March 21, 2016

Well seeing as that was written by an anynymous source says all you need to know. As far as everything said, a company has to start using social media sometime. Every modeling agency or company had to start using social media and did not automatically have millions of followers. The company recently got a new web hosting provider that could accomadate the web traffic. That complaint sounds like a salty model who did not make it in, so now they are writting things to tarnish the reputation of the company. There is no company on earth that has all positive reviews, unfortunatley if a model does not make it into a modeling agency, they resort to things like this.

About me, my name is Veronica Vargas, I am a model! I am working with them at the moment. I had to write this because I have been with them for over 5 years now and hate to see the reputation of a company who has treated me very well hurt by an ANYNYMOUS source! I went through the hiring process, they found me work and I have been with them every since. I have been with other modeling agencies that were not as professional or accomadating as them. I just hate seeing the company I work for being missrepresented by a vindictive person which is anonymous!
