  • Thank god I knew this before I started my modeling carrier! I have heard so many stories...

  • Thank you so much! JC called me right now, and I wasn't really certain about it. It's like, 2000 + for it! I'm not going...

  • How about John Robert Powers?

  • Comment removed

  • @curlygurly3 yep dont do it

  • @JGLOVER0118 okay thank youu

  • The American Mall Model Search/ Model Productions Is A Scam....Trust Me I Worked There..... I Go To Barbizon Now... And I Dk If Its Scam... ://

  • is Interface a scam?

  • I wish I saw this video a couple weeks ago because I just got scammed by a modeling agency but now I'll know better and this time i wont get scammed into it. I wish they would get caught already because more and more people are signing up for this thinking that their child is going to be the next big thing when in fact their not getting anything at all plus the that i had to choose my photos i found out that some of the workers had been working there for a couple months.

  • @Roro46J one other thing i got a call from an agency they said that if i sign up with them there would be an admisitration fee of 10 dollars every month.

  • Where can I go for acting and modeling that does not scam you.

  • There's this company (I guess you can call it that) in New York City called New Faces it is in Hicksville my mom paid $1500 for the photo shoot and we signed a contract for me to work with them for 4 years. It is NOT an agency. We asked them about the negative claims made about them on the internet (calling it a scam) and they convinced us that it is just competition with other companies and they are just rumors. I just photoshoot3 weeks ago and they sent out pics toclothcoms. is it a scam??

  • @MleHagiaSophia i think i know what company your talking about and they are now InterFace and silly me didnt do my research so we got scammed of 700 dollars.

  • tHANK YOU FOR THE INFORMATION

  • Barbizon Said They Were An Agency Locally && Internationally Is That A Scam

  • @MrSonicfan24 No. The people that said they are, just couldn't get a job. so they try to dog them.

  • John Cassablancas called me the other day .. is it a scam?

  • How do you start a modeling career? :)

  • Doomcell3

    I'm sorry but I think they r a scam. I got emails and calls from them but found out they r a scam. Look up "John casablancas scam" I'm sorry:(

  • Is Interface fake?

  • is interface fake?

  • I paid for modeling classes at JC and I am still attending them. But I did nit have to pay for representation. What is your take on John Casablancas?

  • @Doomcell3 Modeling classes can be good for building confidence in a group, learning how to apply make-up, etc. However there are so many other ways to do this for free. You do not need these types of classes to get with any agency. Graduating from one will not give you any advantage over any other girls that have not.

  • I ended up paying $800 for classes with Barbizon and have not been contacted by PMTM (Pro Model and Talent Management) for ANY work and it has been 3 months since "graduation".

  • Is John Casablancas a scam? i already paid but i need to know.

  • @CreationsEpic i believe they are, i paid and went to the classes for awhile, but stop going after looking it up on the internet saying its a scam.

  • @homshiba Actually it's a real school, It gets me jobs and it gets barely any percentage, I'm purely paying for classes and pictures. the pictures, they don't tell me i HAVE to get them there, but it's a choice.

  • @CreationsEpic but if its real, then why dont any of the actors/actresses they say went there ever mention them?

  • @CreationsEpic yes

    

  • @ShmulikCat JC is a scam I know cuz my sis and cuz went there and just because you went to a modeling school it doesn't mean that a agency is going to sign you cause most ligit agencies like their girl to be little to no experienced for they to take them under their wing and teach them the ropes of the fashion industury!!

  • She is RIGHT.... BARBIZON is finally been served as a DEFENDANT and is now in Court in Santa Maria, Ca. See: "Barbizon Modeling Defendant, williamWagener"

  • @exploremodeling

    Hi, im 13. I wanted to know how tall you have to be to be like in catalogs and magazines. Thanks(:

  • im part of barbizon and they sent me an invitation for an audition for IMTA is it worth doing it?????

  • Is Barbizon A Scam?

  • @LindaBrasilera Well, not sure if I would call them a scam... But I can tell you that you do not need "modeling school" to start modeling. I can also tell you that going to modeling school does not give you any "advantage" with agencies or clients... What modeling school can be good for is building your confidence in front of a group. However, there are many less expensive ways to get that experience :)

  • @ExploreModeling is explore talent a scam

  • @arneishamanning yes bc i paid 75$ for 3 months membership and the jobs that i can find on their website is wack ! low pay or just getting some experience which is free

  • @anhtyler ik bc i payed for a agent from them it was only for 1 year and they never call back I wasted $200

  • @ExploreModeling Lol you do need to go to a modeling school. Nobody can just go up and be all "hey, i wanna be a model!" There are certain signals you need to learn, you need to learn the proper way to walk or to dress. Agencies won't hire you if you become too difficult to work with or if it will take too much time to teach you. If someone already knows how they'll hire them over you.

    I went to modeling school sweetheart. You sound like you don't know what you're talking about lol

  • @LindaBrasilera yes it is its over priced and its modeling school modeling schools are scams half of them and thats one they over price and they really dont teach you anything.. um 2 dont go to any modeling or acting school your agent will teach you every thing, also if you would like to be teaches like as in acting sign up school play or drama/acting class in high school?

  • @LindaBrasilera no barbizon is not a scam i plan to go there later on in the year

  • @LindaBrasilera The only thing I've been able to find (other than a few random postings, often full of grammatical errors) on the Internet that says they're NOT a scam are Barbizon's own Websites--hardly anything to inspire much confidence. I'd never heard of the organization till a few days ago, even though their representatives claim they've been existence since 1939.

  • @LindaBrasilera Thats why im also here, my mom is constantly telling me that barbizon is a scam and im starting to believe her. I mean it all fits! They are asking for $2,000 for modeling/acting classes and yet they want an entry fee of $500 :/ theres no way my mom can afford this and i dont want to make her go through all this money payment at all. oh and they keep calling to, she said no and they keep calling back. its very annoying -__-'

  • @LindaBrasilera I am a graduate at Barbizon School many many years ago and i thought that was just a waste of time and money. Its soo not worth it. They teach you how to do runway but they suck. I even walk better than the instructors by watching modeling videos and shows on TV. They also told me they're gonna help me get work after i graduate but it never happend. So don't waste your money. That was a waste of $1500. You don't need modeling school.

  • omg...they got me acepted on a casting for young models....AND THEY R ASKING ME FOR 200 EUROS FOR A PHOTOSHOOT...IS IT A SCAM?????:-OOOOOO

  • FOR THOSE WHO DONT KNOW NEW FACES IS A SCAM!!!

  • i was stopped by a women today she said she was a scout and gave me her contact and she sed i dont need to pay her or give my details she told me her name and told me to speak with my mom first then call her if iam interested her name was nelly is this a fake scout ? oh yea she asked me how talll i was aswell.

  • is barbizon a scam????????

  • Everyone keep telling me that John Casablanca is a scam... Please tell me if it is or not! (sorry im on my husbands youtube page)

  • why do i need to choose my own photographer? what's the difference?

  • Are there any Modeling agencies in New York that aren't scams ?

  • Barbizon was begging me to get in...yet I had to pay a mandatory $500 to do a "modeling class" out of town.

    SCAMMERS

  • lol @ the guy in the background

  • I wish i would have watched this video before i had submitted myself to Barbizon.Everything you said companies should NOT do Barbizon did.We wasted thousands of dollars to be put in this so-called modeling/acting program.It was a big scam and to all of those out there questioning if this is a scam like we did before we registered do not make this mistake you will regret it go elsewhere

  • today i'm nearly lost my money because of modeling scam, they let me see all of the picture of their project. i know their agency is legit but they ask me to pay S$690 just to take my first picture, its including make up, hair and clothes. Of course i wont pay them and i walk myself out. do you know any legit agencies in singapore?

  • Hey I just won a contract with the american mall model search I paid 150.00 so I could do a photo shoot competition. I'm not sure if they're a fraud they say that they discovered anna lynn mccord from 90210 I truly know I have what it takes to make it but I don't want to be scammed I live in sanbernardino, ca is there any legit agencies you know of around here?

  • Do you know if John Casablancas is a scam?? I went to Barbizon and they got me nowhere so im pretty sure they are a scam.

    What about Casablancas? thank you.

  • @ShmulikCat Hey, I'm with John Casablancas, and I think they're great. Yes, you do have to pay at first for training, but that's because JC is for strictly training..and obviously, most places charge for classes. Once you go through training, you sign with MTM, who does not charge you for representation. I have been extremely pleased with John Casablancas!

  • @alaurahernandez Hi, Im 16 and i got a call from John Casablancas today to tell me that there is an audition in my area. This is the reason for why I am here.

    1) What happens after an audition? I am very new to this and I am the type of person who gets all of the information before starting something.

    2) If I am amazing at this audition, would I be referred to model training? My family isn't made of money, so when we spend our money, we make sure it's on things we know is right.

    Thank You

  • what if they want you to pay for a portfolio to show clients as i have no professional photos to show. They said for portfolio and cards it would be 100 pounds

  • hey just saw the vid and thxs, I almost got into one but the tips in the video made me realize this was a scam. I ended up not going to it but had been at the mall when they were looking for people. They had a sign up for that was for like several hundred or something but didn't make you pay during the hotel thing they were doing. I ended up deciding not to go, now I now it was prob a scam. They did want two pictures but weren't pushy about the photographers. Glad I didn't do it now.

  • Barbizon.

  • Is John Robert Powers a scam? Please. I need to know.

  • @MelanieSan I can't say for sure, but if hes asking for money (be it for courses, portfollio etc) without giving you anyway, its gotta be a scammer. Sorry.

  • i have taken acting lessons and (i dont wanna brag) i am a very good actress by now. how do i get into acting after my training? im fourteen, 5"8, i really want to know what to do now. can you PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE?!?! tell me what to do? finally someone who knows what they're doing!! please? what do i do to get represented? how do i go about this?

  • what about acting? can you PLEASE tell me how to get into acting? ive taken lessons, i am a (im not trying to brag) very good actress....can you please tell me how to get started? how to get represented?....please please PLEASE?!?!

  • @silentcomics, you need an agent for acting. It's a requirement for paid actors for even small studios. The scams are exactly the same as what was mentioned in this video. Make sure your agent is actually aggressive. Some are lazy or over booked with clients. If they have a 100 clients you might be pushed to the back of the line.

  • Hi, Have you heard of the Global Stars Network?? It's a cruise to Cozumel, Mexico and you are supposed to meet and have open calls with the top model agencies. I would just like to know if you've heard of it and if it's legitimate.

  • @Chattown2011 I looked it up. ITS A SCAM AVOID IT LIKE THE PLAGUE!

  • I was going to go on a contract with models direct but there telling me i have to pay like £128 for the contract for 3 years and they said the moneys to keep my pictures safe on the internet is this a scam then?

  • its cheap but not worth it...so yes its a scam

  • @sheyanmarie ITS A SCAM. One, Models Direct are one of the more well known scam companys. Two: PAY FOR ADVANCE (be it contract, portifollo, etc) INSTEAD OF PERCENTAGE OF EARNINGS IS ALWAYS A SCAM

  • find out more information about modeling in the new book "The Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Modeling" available on Amazon.

  • daughter was asked to pay $1699 for classes and a photo shoot. I paid Chan International II in Edmonton ab. and found out from friends that as a company they are legally ok but only because they are a school as well I was also informed that they will ask for more money claiming she needs more "classes" to get ahead. So before my daughter went to any classes i returned to get my money back and the fine print says only 50% will be returned as well as a non refundable admin. charge.

  • and you think that your getting a good deal? when natural pictures are cheaper - thats how tyra banks and naomi campbell got their first few bookings

  • i was going to john casablancas. are they a scam? im gettin modeling training and acting training but i think its a scam. is it?

  • Is Barbizon a scam? I have an interview with them on sunday and i'm so scared about PRICING!!!

  • It is very expensive and not necessary if you want to be a professional model...

  • Thank You so much! =)

    You are the best at helping girls like us!

  • Yes.

  • is 5'6" to short? also do you know any legitimate agencys in the bay area?

  • Maybe try for Barbizon and I think runway model have to be 5"7" and up...

  • i was with a modeling school and we did a photoshoot. The cost to buy them was $300. I didn't because I couldn't afford them, so they just gave me one free picture. Then, they wanted to use that picture for my com card. They gave me the number of a company that produces special kinds of pics (ex, modeling pics) and to buy around 30 pics for $60. I didn't call and buy the pics because I was already fed up with the amount of money they were asking me.

  • (Continued)

    Then, the modeling agency tells me to pick up my pics and later, they sent me the bill. Is it right for them to charge me for something that i did not give authorization to? how could they sent me the pics BEFORE i even paid them?

  • hello
