NMP Advertising mad at being exposed! · 12-04-2006, 02:14 PM

I went on craiglist a moment ago and I ran across this ad with my name in it. I'm very pissed, cuz not only are this company is goin' around scammin' people, but now once you think they can't get any lower than they already are, but now they are goin' around tryin' to slander and solder upcoming models good name.
All because some saw through there BS. Also I want to address the part of there statement that states "if you don't select them you'll be put on mymodeltalk.com/watchlist" I was selected and I had enough since to know better than to give up money, so I suggest you stop scamming and slandering and start up a legitimate business with all of the money that you have taken from innocent models and get a life!
Everything I stated was true and that's why you're so mad cuz the truth hurts, I don't have any reason to lie on scum.

To all Real Models, that is very serious about their modeling career, Beware of these low-life trouble makers on mymodelstalk.com. they bash companies and others models. They don't half to know you ,they just love's to put lies out.
If you are an companies , and you don't select them , you will be put on the mymodelstalk.com/watchlist , as a scam. If you are a models , you would be classified as a very, very bad model.

I guess this is wandering a little off topic. but since it was brought up here, I just want to mention that as a model, one of the things I love about my agency is not only do they find me work, but they deal with collecting the fees from the clients, issuing the 1099s and all that. In fact, when I find a job on my own I still book it through them. Now, within my region I'm contractually obligated to do that, and they get a percentage. But I'm considering booking through them even outside the region (unless I sign with another agency in another region) because they check a client out and deal with collecting the fees and all.

As an independent multimedia producer (mostly integrated Quicktime and virtual reality development, but also some identity work, print work and photoshop stuff), I hated dealing with these things. For me, getting clients to pay up sometimes was just a nightmare. So I guess I have to say that I think of this as part of the package of services for which I pay the agency, and like I say, I think mine is great! They take care of the business end of everything, and they do so very well.

Anyway, the bottom line is that, at least for me, the handling of the business aspects of a job is part of what I consider to be package of services my agency provides me.

hey guys, i'm going to create a new thread and move the post. I think i'll call it "agent's Speak Out" or something. Either way you should be able to find your posts afterwards rather easily.

Exactly. I think sometimes people don't really understand all the values of having an agent. Those outside think agents only get people work. That is just a part of it. As you stated, sometimes collecting from a client can be a nightmare (believe it or not, we're going around and around on some payments for talent due from an NBC television series... you would think that would be a no-brainer pay, but it's becoming a minor nightmare that I'm sure the actors are happy they're not forced to deal with). Agents negotiate proper fees, review contracts to be sure you are protected, monitor use (if it extends past the agreed upon period of time for use, they go after residual fees), do billing and accounting (1099 so Uncle Sam doesn't come after you), and a variety of other things... depending upon how good your agent is.

Sounds like you have good representation and have learned the value of that. That's great.
