I got into modeling by taking several classes at John Casablancas... which is also a scam by the way but that's another report. That was couple of years ago and since then i have seen many companies trying to rip off aspiring models/actors by making them pay and let me tell ya, Marvel Models is one of them.

i was contacted by both Clinton Dorsey and Eric Platt to atten the open call. i spoke with Eric on the phone and he told me that they are in need of talents so bad that employees were actually working becausw they dont have enough models in the chicago area, he also told me that all models are working who are with Marvel Models..sounds too good to be true right?

i attened a open call like Brian did and it was the same thing except i met Krystal who is the director of the chicago branch. After the measurements and saying people need to tone up, we had out individual evauation. Before then, we got to ask some questiona and i asked Krystal if they charge any fees and she said no.

Then i was interviewed by Krystal, she took a look at my pictures, which were professional by the way and she said she would like to interview me on one on one and gave me a packet.

Right away i notice that i had to pay:
"How much does it cost to have a digital comp card with Marvel Models? After a one-time setup fee of $595 (fees may vary by country and region) Marvel Models then charges $19.95 per month for maintenance and representation of your digital comp card." what the thing about no fee??

well all i have to say is that i will cancel the meeting with krystal because there is no way i'm paying that much money just to have pictures online. if you have any questions, just reach me through my website
