emodel.com, Options Talent Group
To Whom It May Concern:
I received a solicitation from Options Talent through
my personal ad on AOL.
Unfortunately for them I know the modeling industry
inside out. What a joke! You have to be 6 feet tall and
I'm only 5'8."
Please warn everyone that anyone can have a great-looking
site —even serial killers!!!
Anyway, I have friends that work in the industry at
real agencies like Ford and Elite in New York which never
ask for money up front.
THEY'RE MORE LIKELY TO GIVE YOU
MONEY FOR LUNCH OR CAB FARE, RIGHT AFTER THEY MET YOU
AND HAVE DECIDED TO USE YOU.
The optionstalent.com website made me suspicious, because
the Ford Agency in New York won't even let you contact
them via email. The only thing they will accept is photos
via regular mail.
N.N.
Reputable companies do not spam! emodel used to send
spam, and now options talent sends spam. It is even worse
in this case and an identical case that was reported
earlier because the unsolicited email options talent
sent has nothing to do with personal ads. Spam is one
of the first and most clear signs a company should not
be taken seriously.
emodel used to pay little if any attention to height
and Options Talent is acting the same as emodel.
The underlying assumption of Options Talent (formerly
emodel) is that modeling agencies, including the big
ones, want to view digital images. But how can you believe
that big agencies like Ford want to see digital comps
when they will not accept them?
