Modeling Scams


OTM (On Track Modeling) aka AMG (Alpha Model Group)


To Whom It May Concern:

This company is a joke. We spent hundreds of dollars on a photo shoot and comp cards for our own advertisement. We have used them, but they are laughed off.

These people tried to encourage ME to be a part of their scam. I wanted to believe so badly that these people were for real.

The individual that showed up to take care of hair, makeup and wardrobe was RIDICULOUS! Using cheap makeup and her taste in clothes was unreal.

My daughter was contacted twice for work in our city. These jobs required an 18 year old. My daughter was underage. She can pass as an 18 year old, but the work that they were doing was passing out CEREAL, for crying out loud!

I told them I was not at all happy about them being deceitful to their client and having my daughter lie. The individual heading up the booking stated that it happens all the time, and if she wants work, then she will do it.

She worked several hours over 2.5 days and waited months for her pay. We did another job in June and have YET to be paid!

I have contacted this company on several occasions with no response. On top of that, my daughter's picture is not on their website as promised.

WHAT IS UP WITH THESE PEOPLE???????


At your suggestion I reported this issue with OTM to the Charlotte, NC BBB, as well as wrote to the BIG GUY at OTM. Well, GUESS WHO CALLED ME TODAY?????

Yup, OTM booking agent. She states that there must be a mistake. She will get it rectified tomorrow!!! HAHAHAHA! Well we will just see how quick they come through. Thanks again!! I will update you as soon as there is resolution.


This is a letter written to the BBB Charlotte, NC, and the president of OTM. I wonder what my options are now? I reported OTM to the Attorney General, too.

I wrote:

I have not received a reply from you yet concerning payment to my daughter, XXXX, for a job performed on behalf of OTM back in June. However, I did receive a call from Melissa Touche.
 
Ms. Touche indicating that a check in the amount of $120.00 was sent to XXXX on 09/30/02. We have moved from that address. However, we had access to the home and were picking up our mail there and have NOT received that check.
 
Ms. Touche indicated that the check has not been returned to the OTM offices. I contacted our post office and they do not have anything on file for my daughter. All mail has been forwarded to our new address: XXXX since October! Ms. Touche ALSO indicated that if we should have to pay OTM $30.00 for a stop pay and reissue!
 
Excuse me but that is outrageous. If in fact your company did send my daughter a check for her work, it took 3.5 months to pay her. That is over and above the 6 weeks your company claims to need for payment for work rendered. For your company to ask us to pay for your stop pay fee is utterly and positively ridiculous.
 
I would very much appreciate it if you yourself could contact me in reference to this situtation either buy phone or email as quickly as possible. We have waited long enough for payment.
