Please read and believe!!  When Interface Talent called me for an interview, they make everything sound so professional and innocent. In their explaination the $800 they were charging me was for the photo shoot, rights to photos (?) distribution of photos to agencies and 2000 comp cards, hair stylist & make-up. The photo shoot was 6/2/14.  I provided 8 outfits, she chose which 3 to use. Monday I returned to view proofs on their computer. After viewing, Robin Shipp provided a comp card, 8X11 sheet. Yes, I could have done that myself.  But since it was included in the $800, I went along with it. After signing the contract is when she said I owe her another $800, totalling $1600 + $45 for copy rights. Now totalling $1,645. Now, Robin Shipp is running around the office to get a 4 year contract financed which promises 3 photo shoots, distribution of photos along with hair & make-up. I was never told if the 4 year contract was approved and the funds would be automatically drafted from my account starting that immediately Friday.  Starting with a deposit of $150 on 6/2/14; from 6/6/14 of $217.00 was to be deducted, ending 7/4/14 with final cost of $650, totalling of final cost of $800. Now they are suing me for $2,297.40 for services not rendered. They stopped the deductions, not me. So why am I being sued?  Is this how they get their monies?   I have called InterFace many times to find out what was going on with my pictures and was always told no one could come to the phone. It got to the point that I felt "black balled". When they see my name come up, they would not answer my call during business hours or whom ever I asked for was always busy. I used different names, but they would screen the call, wait a few seconds then return and say finance, marketing, or Robin Shipp was busy with other clients, or just put me on hold forever until the line went dead.  Once the recorder came on and said the agency was not taking anymore clients at this time. I tried to contact Ronda Johnson @732-993-4220, who first told me my final payment of $217 was to be on 7/4/14.  I have gone to other agency since this and was told I was ripped off. Of course I felt like a fool.  I've been scammed along with many others.   In the building, they had BBB certificates on the wall.  When you call the BBB office, they don't give you any information on the company, they just say they are registered with them. I did not know about RipOffReport.com. If their is a lawyer out there that will take this pro bono, please help! Maybe you can get your fee when you win the case.  I have all my paper work I received from this agency.  InterFace Talent is a Con.  Please heed this notice. I am unemployed trying to find work in the entertainment business and regular jobs. By this, my name will be destroyed.  It is so very hard to trust anybody anymore.
