I made an appt. to meet with Amy with City Model and Talent. She happened to be the third person to call & urge me to come into the office for an interview. I finally agreed to go in after recieving several calls. Then read a review about how when you get to the interview you would be coxed into paying hundreds in dollars for pictures. And they are located very far from where I live. So I decided to cancel my appt. and think it over some more. When I told Amy this she immediately put a man named Jack on the phone who tried to convince me to come in by saying that he got my picture from Hollywood Models in LA and that I'd only have to come to their office one time. I said that I didn't think I was interested any longer which seemed to infuriate him. Jack then muttered inaudible words and basically hung up on me. He then called me back and left a message saying "" I just called Hollywood Models and told them not to bother with you. You'll probably call them when your in a nursing home."" Boy am I happy that I didn't waste my precious time or money traveling to a so called ""modeling agency"" that would get angry with someone for using wisdom. City Model and Talent seem to eager to get people to come into their offices; Calling several times in a week for weeks until you agree to come in, fast talking commission preditors, Close the deal type of approach.... sounds to me like a money making scam. And not for the talent but for the establishment. Shame on Jack and his team for preying on peoples dreams! Beware and use wisdom. Modeling agencies have open calls, Go to those!
