This is a copy and paste from when someone reporting him before but when he went by the name Escobar Robertson and called his company HSL Models .  "This is one of those scam acting/modeling agencies where they get you all pumped up and hyped about "Making your dreams come true" and "Making it big as a model or actress", hyped up so much in fact that you are taken aback and/or are willing to look over his rediculous fees. First, he'll advertise that he is an agency and then have you submit photos, he accept selfies...HE ACCEPTS SELFIES. If you are truely looking to make it a real agency will not accept non-professional photos. Then he will have you do a shoot with him and makes you pay $100, and then he'll tell you if he wants you for his agency. That is also another HUGE red flag. A legitimate agency will not do that to you. A real agency will have you submit your current professional photos and then interview you. You will NEVER have to pay to see if you are 'good enough'. And the photos that he did take were AWEFUL. They looked incredably amateur. I have been modeling for over a year and have gotten MUCH better photos from lots of photographers for free. And those are the photos he's supposed to send out to perspective clients for you. Uh-uh. No way. You do not want terrible picutures if you want to get lots of gigs. You don't want to be represented to the world with poor photos. So, once he selects you, you have to pay $500 within 30 days for a start up fee. That is a RED FLAG. Real agencies will never EVER EVER EVER ask you to pay ANY money up front. They will get you a job first before they take comission. He tries to make up for it by saying you don't have to pay comission for the first month, do not fall for it, and DO NOT pay him the $500. That's another thing: he takes 20% from each job, reall agencies will take no more that 10%, if they want more for a certain job they will discuss it with you before hand, but 10% is the usual standard percentage. In the few conversations that I had with him, he insinuated heavily that he usually has sex with his models. And the way he stated it was very coersive. Professionals will not have relations with their clients, if they do, it is on the down low. He also has no real studio and lives out of a hotel.....um...what? He also ONLY takes cash payments and has no actual website. RED FLAG. Above all else, do not sign with him because the "castings" he posts are all castings that you can find on projectcasting.com or by simply google searching "casting calls georgia" or by checking craigslist. These are all things you can submit to yourself and not have to pay anyone else a dime. Real agencies have connections that will get you castings that few people hear about or are hard to find. Lastly, I have very little faith in his ability to help his clients become "actresses". All you have to do is say you want to act. That's it. There is no monologue audition, there is no reel(s) submission. Again, to help you become an "actress" he lists casting calls from projectcasting.com for movie and tv extras. I know that it is fun an exciting when someone pumps you up and tells you that you have so much potential, you can make it big, and that you can make lots of money, but please, do your research, and absolutely, unequivocally DO NOT SIGN WITH AN AGENCY THAT MAKES YOU PAY ANY MONEY UP FRONT. To gain the interest of a real talent/modeling agency you are going to have to take the time, hard work, effort, creativity, and money to get and create nice headshots, photos, and acting reels. You're on this site, you're reading this, so you've already got the drive to really make sure that you make it, and that you are not taken for granted. Follow my advice, do not sell yourself short. Your dream is far too big, far too important to settle for anything less than then best when it comes to an agency. Some actual acceditied, well-known and trusted agencies in the US can be found here: Go to this website: (((link redacted))) Search for your city/state in the drop-down box, pick your area and hit 'select' . You can choose “Franchised Agents” or “ATA/NATR Non-Franchised Agents” – both are legit." He now changed his name to Ciroc Rizzi because a lot of people found out he was a scam artist . Here is my post that I post on Craigslist because he lures girls in from this site , Facebook and Instagram . Stay away from "Ladies needed for evening events"SCAMMERS . Do not pay people or (Atlanta Ga and all of entertainment) compensation: $400 per event
 There are a lot of scam people here on Craigslist . I mean hello we are talking about Craigslist here !! So my advice to you young gullible women is , NEVER PAY SOMEONE OVER THE PHONE OR GIVE OUT YOUR SSN. I mean it's common sense . I know it sounds nice like for example : They might say , we pay $400 a event but you need to pay for hair and make up or for your uniform. Sometimes the fee can be as low as $50 , so in your head , you are like hm that's not bad plus I'm going to make $400 soon anyways. Lol well no , you will never make that money back and instead of them taking $40-50 they are taking $500-$1000 off of your debt card . So don't do it . Also some scammers would actually meet you in person and give out paper work that is actually realistic looking and ask you to pay a fee for a photo shoot , ask for you social security number or for a contract to be your manger or w-e dumb s**t they saying and you will pay it because you have met the person but little do you know this person lives in another state and knows once you have contacted the police , he or she is out of the state any got dam way . Lmao mfs got to eat and got children to feed so they gonna do what they gotta do . Anyway I wanted to post this to help other women from going through the hurt and pain. I know how it feels to get your hopes up and found out it was a lie at the end . I am posting this actually because I am getting sick and tired of people coming for me and my friends. For example when I post IG photos , scammers would DM me and say something funny like I'm trey songs manger and want to fly you out to Vegas .

#1 UPDATE Employee ..inside information

Lies,more lies and slander

AUTHOR: v star - (USA)

POSTED: Friday, May 20, 2016

I read this foolishness. And dude you need to get a life. You been spreading these lies for years. Pretending to be women while you try to slander this guy name and business. You never met the guy or done business with him. But yet you claim to kno so much about his business and company. Seems like you more concerned about his money because you're not making any. Ive modeled with this company for 4 years and know 1st hand what you kerp posting on here is all made up by you. I have build my career got plenty of paid model work. You state standard model agency percentage commission is 10%. Thats also bunch of crap. Agency industry standards range from 10-30%. So 20% is not high and is well within standards. And all that Las Vegas crap you talking and having to send money is bunch of made up crap also. Get a Life dude(no-life broke hater)
