I recently signed on to this Company known as Trans Continetal Talent aka Options Talent on October 16,2002 after goin to an open call on the 15th. I'm only 16 and my parents paid the $495 starting fee and and are goin to pay $525 to get some pictures takin of me for my profolio from some photographers they have on staff.

Now, a couple of weeks later I have done some investigation and find that they have ripped many people off that were in my postion at one point in time. I am be upset to find out that i may be one of the many victims of a scam.

I don't know what to do now that my parents have just spent hundreds of dollars to support me. I really truely believed that this was a legitimate company.

I would like to know if I have been scammed or ripped off before I pay to get pictures takin.

Well there young man. I am sorry to hear that you have become one of the thousands out there. However, at this time there is some hope for you.

Before you get your pictures consider this:
You are 16. You will still be changing for the next few years. So, pictures for children and teens are questionable, until you are 'really' in the business.

Get your family and friends to take some pictures. These shoots are in outside locations, so go to a few of your own. These shoots sometimes allow you to do a change of clothes or two, so change your 'look' for those who are taking your picture.

If you want JC Penny (or some other clothing company) to pick you up, make sure you wear a nice suit for a picture or two.

If you have the type of body that would do well for the teen idol sort of scene then do some shorts or bathing suit. If you like the outdoors then wear workboots, jeans and a shirt that displays what you want to portray.

Do you get the idea?
Sure, the Photographers get the jobs to do the shoots because they know what they are doing.... they are professionals. However, remember if you buy additional slots YOU can change your own 'look' each time you feel like it 24x7!

Since you are signed up at this time, make the best of it... get on the site each day and search for opportunities that they do not contact all the models about. Now that you have yourself on the site, go ahead and get access to your digital portfolio and go on-line to send your pictures via e-mail to anyone and everyone you can think of.

Pretend that you simply paid this money for an avenue and use it! DO NOT SIT BACK and WAIT for them to do anything more for you!

Good luck to you Young man and may you turn your misfortunate connections toward a better outcome.

Remember that if you do not get work through Transcontinental (or whoever they want to be during this six month period) then, you have a right to give a written letter of dissatisfaction and request your money back!

God Speed!
