COMING UP ON DATELINE NBC
FRIDAY, APRIL 18
9:00 P.M. ET

NBCs Victoria Corderi has a hidden camera look inside a multi-million dollar company that offers wannabe models a chance to be in the spotlight. But are they sincere in their efforts, or are they preying on peoples gullibility and dreams?

So does anyone know what the hell is taking the Florida State Attorney General so freaking long to move on this? It's been a couple of years. Just wondering.

I looked on the Dateline link above but couldn't find anything on Wilhelmina. Can someone help me find it? I watched; they hit a lot of good points, given the time they had to cover it. They really needed a 2 hour expose on it. Boy, I'd love to see that. I was hoping that Dateline would cover the "Dream Job" add for the scouts. That might prevent them from getting their initial work force to bring in those poor suckers. But still, kudos to Dateline for bringing that mainstream. It only reinforced the complaints that have been received here. I'm sure ROR had something to do with it. :) Kudos to ROR too!

SERVES THEM RIGHT ..Dateline gave a great report last night

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

POSTED: Saturday, April 19, 2003

Dateline gave a great report last night about tc talent now wilhelmina scouting network, I found the report to be very interesting, and I hope that the media keeps putting the pressure on to shut this company down. I cant believe that girl for continuing to be a part of their website after she knows she is getting scammed. I found out about how crooked they were and I removed my comp card from their website ASAP. I hope no one else loses thousand of dollars on these predators.

Dateline is killing these guys.......

POSTED: Friday, April 18, 2003

This is great.....I'm loving this cause everything that is on this show is what has been printed on this website....Now even more people will realize that this company is a sham....It's too bad that they didn't update this to let them know that they changed their name to Wilhemina. This company will be done in a short period of time. Oh, wait a minute they just mentioned it. There you go....let's wait and see the fireworks go off now. Stay tuned.
