Face National Models and Talent
To Whom It May Concern:
We are the latest victims of Face National Models
and Talent.
The scam that they are running is a photography scam.
They do claim to be a "modeling agency," but
they are out for photo money.
Go to www.bbbsouthland.org/topic116.html for
information about how the scam works, how to spot a scam,
how to protect yourself, and where to go for help.
It's too bad that I didn't find it until after we signed
our contract with Face National Models and Talent.
Good luck trying to contact anyone. We have been to
their website, sent them an email, tried to send them
a fax, left several phone messages (several days in a
row) during all of their business hours, and at last
sent a letter to them in the mail.
No one has contacted us.
The BBB says that you have 10 days by law to cancel
the contract. Beware of Face National Models
and Talent!
The form that you sign for their photographer states
that you can only cancel your transaction no later than
midnight of the third date of the signing.
I haven't been able to contact them so how can I cancel
anything?!
Send a certified letter to the company address or use
a courier service such as World Courier, Inc., to notify
them of your intentions.
A courier service of this sort will cost you quite a
bit more than the postal service, but it may have more
success delivering.
Either service needs to have a signature required when
delivered; also try to request signature by Jennifer
Gill, the owner.
This way, once signed for, the company can't say they
received no notification, plus you will have proof either
way that you've made an attempt.
I would also notify the nearest local news station.
Here in Houston, we have special persons on the news
teams who handle scams such as this on the open air waves.
I intend to call our Channel 2 News of this scam, hoping
parents see the news before August 1, when they come
back to have everyone sign contracts.
