Model Productions Never gave me my contract that I paid $130.00 for!!

Hi Modeling Agents,

My name is Khadeen Brown-Wynter and I'm requesting an apology letter or a reimbursement from Model Productions through e-mail. My e-mail address is [protected]@yahoo.com I never got my modeling contract from you guys that I paid $130.00 for. Please respond back quickly! A guy named Reggie never gave me my pictures from a photoshoot that I paid $100.00. The COVID 19 is what saved a lot of companies, such as, churches, childcares, Georgia Department of Labor and even FedEx stores. Please respond back!

Model Productions Effing scam!

Definitely a scam! I knew it right away but continued to fall for it. Yes I paid 150 bucks for a unprofessional photo shoot from a bum looking guy, crap white background and horrible lighting, this guy never did this before!. They only thing that made them look good was me and my props. The poor girls and guys who volunteer for themhave no idea either till its all said and done and your missing 1000 bucks from your wallet! Today I got the thing in the mail saying I won a contract! Yay! Luckily I do my research and found soo many complaints. Its fake and no one should ask you for money let alone more money because you won! Dont fall for it! I watched so many gullible, untalented people win all they needed was money for the shoot. I am going to do what I can to get the word out there how fake it is. So many other ways to get into modeling dont let this company ruin your dreams or hurt your ego. I cant believe they been doing this 25 years or more to innocent people and their loved ones... Always do your research and always check the better business bureau! Which they are not on, hmm I wonder why!

Over the years I have read nurmerous of complaints about this company. Well, I was recently fired from them and I honestly think it is time for the truth to come out. Model productions is a scam. They will tell you, your beautiful in all actually they just think of you has a walking dollar sign. If you do not meet to their standards of beautiful, they will...

Model Productions My sons contract

I paid over 170.00 including photo shoot registration fees and a cd witch cost 20.00 extra dollars that they told me it was included. Then the day of the talent contest told me it was an additional 20. I paid it anyways and my son supposedly was the only boy picked out of that competion for a new face 1 year modeling contract. I checked the casting board daily sent out his cards that I paid an additional 140.00 for. I sent these to several companies as well as responded to email address that where left, with his resume and cards. To no avail we didnt get one call back. His contract was good from Dec. o8 to Dec of 09 with possible renewal as long as he got three bookings in that yr. I tried to look for the page and I couldn't find it but did find there myspace page an emailed them still haven't heard a reply. There business should not have tanked due to the economy as they are just advertisers for the people looking to fill this postion it would have been nice to recieve a letter or email of some sort letting us know our contracts weren't valid.
If I don't hear from them soon iI will be filling a complaint with the BBB or possible going to the news channel. I am not made of money
and at the time both my husband and I were laid - off but I made sacrifices for my son to do this 1. because he is georgous 2. he was really into it and enjoyed it 3. hes a big movie buff

I also was disappointed that they didn't have more roles for children
pls contact me if you feel the same way [protected]@yahoo.com

They are listed with the BBB... check here: http://www.bbb.org/south-east-florida/business-reviews/modeling-agencies/model-productions-usa-in-fort-lauderdale-fl-92011138
Pretty darn good record, I might add. To be in business for as many years as they have, and only have that few complaints, especially considering the number of contestants they go through at any given time.

My daughter and I are both contestants, having made it past our audition. And not everyone makes it past the audition. It's how well YOU do, not how well everyone else does. Do you have the charisma to perform in front of others? Are you photogenic? Are you willing to do what it takes? Enough said.

Modeling / acting takes a certain personality, one has to come across confident, regardless of flaws or mistakes. I saw many people who couldn't get the script, but said something at least, and said it with confidence, not stage fright. That is what they are looking for. This is meant to be fun, enjoy it, relax, and have fun. If they weren't legit, the feds would have shut them down years ago or they would have disappeared off the planet.

My cousin has supposedly signed as a model/actor through model production usa and I believe that model production usa is a scam and are really getting peoples hopes up that they would either become either a model and or an actor when in reality they are getting screwed and do not even know it. So my best advice to everyone who tries to join model productions usa, don't because it is fake and a scam. Model Productions USA is NOT even listed with the Better Business Bareau and if they were real then they would be listed with the Better Business Bareau. So as I have said my advice to whomever joins Model Productions USA before doing so do your research.

Either way, it is a scam. If they do not let anyone know before the auditions that they will have to be paying a fee afterwards then heck yes, it is not a legitimate company. They are also not in the listings of the Better Business Bureau. Doesn't this seem all too fishy? I think so. People may choose to believe what they want but in the end is it really worth it?

I was skeptical about bringing my 2 year old daughter to this audition. But a lot of people come to me on a daily basis telling me she has potential so I did it anyway. Her audition was yesterday (6.18.10). I paid the first $50. A friend of mine who went through the same process, told me the photos were emailed to her and she had to print them herself and she had to pay a fee to print them. WOW.. Isn't the portfolio supposed to be printed and handed to you? Im no expert in this field, but something is most definately going on. As for her photo shoot booked for Tues, I will attend but before any further money is released, I will be asking how the photos will be relinquished to me. The so called "director" of the mall search's name is Nick. No last name! Just Nick! If anyone else has questions, I got his email. Let's see if anyone else gets a response because so far, I haven't. nick@theamms.com Oh, if anyone else has recieved that booklet that has the pricing and everything, when you open the booklet, where it says What Is The AMMS?, The blond guy with blue eyes, that's Nick..

wow i went on model production which is supposed to be who the contract is with and when I did you can click on every venue except "Book a model" some type of error came on. Wow how ironic...
Well they just contacted me about my son and it's obviously a scam. And they are not getting any more money from my husband's pockets.

I too got scamed. Just yesterday I took my daughter to this open call and they wanted the three payments of 50.00 dollars. I should of known this was a scam because not to be mean half the kids looked homely and the adults had pimples on the face. So I will be calling my bank to stop payment on this 50 bucks THIS IS A SCAM! PLEASE BEWARE! They travel around ripping people off, and because you pay for your photos thats how they get away with it. YOU BUILD A PORTFOLIO AFTER YOU HAVE BEEN MODLING FOR AWHILE BIG RED FLAG FOR ME .
