I'm not really sure about this company. They posted a flyer on craigslist which makes it suspicous already but I just wanted to see what they offered. I sent them an image and they responded promptly and said that I was accpeted from all their respondents. It was strange because their gimick was that they'd send you 12 outfits each month for you to wear and photograph yourself in. To use your own or provided digital camera to shot pictures with their products and then send them back the pictures and the products. Income would usually be through how much you sell of the product you are making and usually, the pictures were take can only be in one magazine/print a month. However, the huge caveat in this was that there is a $289 charge due tot he fact that many of their past customers have stolen their clothes, camera and thye have lost money but trusting their hires. The $289 is a security deposit and they said we should get it back by modeling the clothing. Im just wondering if this is even legitmate because I've never heard of this business or anything like this before. They even said that they were a christian business so it seems that they are trusted. But I'm not going to give them my money just yet.

Oh and the checked the BBB and they are not listed and had one complaint against them but also it was resolved so I don't know about this yet.

This company is just woldwide, not impact worldwide, and has a whole different website too. I thought it was pretty sketchy to begin with. About the Christian thingy, usually those types of organizations are known to be honest but yeah your right, i can't trust them based on a whim, thanks agin for your thoughts and help!

hehe... yeah, I didn't mean o diss Christians at all. I just mean too say that it is not a prerequisite for honesty and integrity, and also that just because they say they are Christian (Or anything else, for that matter) doesn't mean they will meet your expectations.

A friend of mine did this and got burned. She is sorry she got sucked into it.

I just got a message from them after responding to an ad they posted too. I've been scammed before, so this time I decided to do some investigating before sending money. From what I've read so far, they seem like a scam. And I don't have $289 to just be throwing down the toilet.

If you don't mind send a copy of that email to info@mymodeltalk.com. I'm curious to see how they are trying to get new victims.

Are they still using the name WorldWide?
