Face National Models and Talent
To Whom It May Concern:
Recently I was scammed out of nearly $1,000 by the Face
Models agency.
I just happened to be surfing the internet, and came
across this site. I was nearly in tears when I saw Face
Model on the scam list.
I knew what they did, but I just didn't want to believe
that someone could take advantage of someone like that.
I heard about it over the radio one day, and they had
a meeting at a hotel. Then they picked about 50 for the
meeting the next day.
They were all so nice, and the man that was with the
agency even asked me out to eat while he was down in
Louisiana, because he said he wanted to get to know me,
because he thought I was the model they wanted out of
Louisiana.
I was so excited about all of it, and he got my hopes
so high, I didn't even think of all the money I was throwing
away. All of my savings, because as they said, "Oh,
what you pay today will be nothing compared to what you
will be making later. You have to make sacrifices."
I got my composite card made and that has been it. I
have not heard anything since. And that was around December.
The agency was in Louisiana in August when I first went
to the meetings.
Please, if you can help me in any way getting the agency
back, or even my money, email me back.
I am only 18, and I feel I was taken advantage of. Now
I trust noone, and it was sad that it took a good thousand
dollars to learn that.
Hope to hear from you soon,
Thanks for writing.
There are different modeling agencies with very similar
names, and if one is going to be noted as fraudulent,
we need to be very clear on the exact name and also,
preferrably, their website address.
Please identify the website address and the exact name
of the modeling company you feel has defrauded you, and
we can discuss this in more detail, and include your
story on modeling scams.com.
Sincerely,
It is called: Face National Models and Talent
The website is: www.facemodels.com
Email: info@facemodels.com
I have tried to get on the website, but it won't come
up, and I have emailed them many times, just asking different
questions, and I have never got an email back.
Please find out as much as you can and write back.
Thanks,
Let me see if I understand this correctly. Are you saying
you paid them $1,000 for photography (comp card), and
now they refuse to talk to you?
Did you sign a contract? Or was it just photos?
You said you emailed them many times. Have you called
their office? I really feel this is something that should
be worked out in person or by phone — there's
just too much money on the line —and it should
not be left to mail or email.
Some companies are not very fast or efficient with email,
but if you call, at least you know you can get someone
on the other end.
If they hang up without answering your questions, you
know there is a serious problem. That type of behavior
cannot be justified.
Please try calling or visiting and report back.
Thanks,
