Soho Management THIS AGENCY IS A SCAM Kingston , Ontario

I first of all want to thank one of my actors for bringing this to my attention so I could address it. We have never represented anyone by the name of Daniel Oxford. We are sure that the person that posted the above comments is actually a former model that we represented, posting under a different name.  She was fired from a job due to her attitude and inappropriate behaviour and then was released from the agency. 

I completely understand that in any business there will be unhappy clients/customers and there is nothing we can do to avoid anyone saying negative comments, especially in a vanity industry like modelling. It is unfortunate that we had to release this person, as she had talent and promise (she even mentioned that she was getting castings/go-sees and jobs in her posting above for paid work). But our reputation working with clients that would potentially hire our other actors and models in the future is obviously more important. Any casting director/designer or director that would have to deal with problem talent on set would not want to book anyone else from SoHo if this continued. Her website fee that she did pay in 1 year in advance was refunded for the remaining months she had left despite what she has said above, even though she breached her contract and we were not obligated to do so. As we tell all our new talent, they do not have to book photos through us. They can get them done through anyone who is reputable and does quality work. She was told this as well and chose to go through us.

After doing some research about "Rip Off Report" we have found that this company is situated in Arizona, and has no validity what-so-ever. I attempted to contact the company to have the post removed and was told that I had to follow the "Arbitration" link in order to proceed since the posting above is completely false and provide the appropriate documentation. Which I started the process until I got to this:

"As explained in the Program Rules, the process begins when you provide Ripoff Report with three things: 1.) a signed copy of theArbitration Agreement; 2.) a complete copy of your Arbitration Statement including any and all supporting evidence, such as documents orWitness Statements (subject to limitations which are discussed in detail in the Program Rules) you want the Arbitrator to review; and 3.) a check for the $2,000 arbitration fee. No arbitration matter will begin until we receive all of these things."

I was told that I could not have the posting removed, despite the fact that our logo is trademarked, without giving them a $2000 cheque!!!!

In the end, anyone can post anything about anybody or any business on this website without proof or validation and then you need to PAY to have it taken down.
