To Whom It May Concern:
Please send me any information you have
on JustOurKids.com. My wife and I enrolled our daughter
last month. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
I enrolled my daughter over seven months
ago, paid $500 for them to manage her, but have not received
a single job. I am asked every six months to go and get
her picture taken, which is $20.
What another parent wrote is exactly
how it was with us. The only thing is I fell for it.
But what bothers me more is that my daughter is really
into it. See asks me constantly, "Why don't they
call?" That is what hurt me the most."
Tank you for your information, but while
I was reading it I notice you mentioned that in Illinois
is illegal to charge registration fees. What about Long
Island, NY? I paid $500.00 for them to do all the leg
work plus 15% of commission when my daughter get a job....
And where can I start investigating more about them and
should I take them to court. Where do I start?
Thanks,
Try the Department of Consumer Affairs or Eliot Spitzer's
Consumer Protection office. The DCA deals with some modeling
scams. They have in the past, and they have recently.
But if they say they don't have jurisdiction, Spitzer
does. The DCA has jurisdiction over modeling agencies,
not Spitzer. If Kids.com says they are not a modeling
agency—and if that is not a lie—they have
to deal with Spitzer.
It's really a legal interpretation issue, and the legal
interpretation is made by the DCA Commissioner, not the
court. NY is weird, but that's the way it is. So start
with the DCA, report a modeling agency operating without
a license, and file your complaint of fraud in advertising.
Even if the DCA does not confront them for operating
with a license, Spitzer can go after them for Deceptive
and Unfair Trade.
