They tried the same with me . . .

Model Talent Network is comprised of low life scum who are afraid to rob a bank so instead, use trickery to steal money from people. I went as well. i saw the post they posted on craigslist so emailed them. then they called me to come in. they said i don't need anything except a license to come for the interview. i get there, they make me fill out a small form and then ask if i brought pictures. since i didn't, they wanted me to pay a nice amount of money to have them taken. i am surprised the police have not raided them and jailed them for fraud. a person who left after me told me they tried the same on her but they wanted 3 times as much money for the pictures. it must be that they see if you look like you have a lot of money, they charge more. I wonder how much sadly fall for this. They play music videos on a tv in the "waiting room" and think thats all people have to see and they will beleive its a legit company. The lady ("interviewer"), i am not sure if her name was tee or what it was but she looked like she showered in sh*t. I am pissed that they dont care that you waste your time coming in to them just for them to tell u u need to pay an enormous fee for pictures. If they actually had clients who needed models and they can make good money off of you, would you have to pay money for pics. I wonder why they havent been closed down yet?

This happened this week on Wednesday when they gave me an appt. They always post catchy titles on craiglist. Some are petite models, or Asian models etc. They tell you on the phone there's no money involved but in person it's a whole new bargain,lol.

What happened when you went in person? I know its redundant but I want to make sure the other members are aware of what other talent is going through. New models fall prey because there isn't enough information on line to help them protect themselves from those that target them.

What was the name of the person you spoke to? Does Model Talent Network claim to be an agency? If so do you know if they are licensed and bonded?
