I went, the people were really nice. Told my mum not to buy the profolio but she did. Tip: like my mum did, keep saying your leaving so they drop the price down( mine went from 2000 to 300 :smile:). People that are saying that they didn't get their £50 back are probab;y the same people that didnt show up or were late ( i was snopping round and say a regester and they marked down if you were late idk if that affects your money). Any way they accepted me i had to send height and stuff in and got a referal email for an interviewwith an other agency. So from what ive gone through they are legit but I can't t=say they're not fishy as on the referal email it said that the studio had refered me and that got me shoocked because I've heared a lot of bad things about the studio.
The agentcy river models refered me to was TMA talent modelling agency. they have an instagram and i messaged people that they worked with and they vouched that tma was legit.
to conclude, from my experience they are legit.
(when doing the shoot a local (one of my friends dad lol) was saying 'they're a con' and silently i was saying ' I know' but smh all going well)

Wow, so even after reading all the reviews on here, clearly telling you that River Models are a scam, you still went there and paid them? That's just silly. You do realise you will not get any jobs with them, right? Cancel the payment if you still can.

Nooo, I didn’t read any of the reviews yet before I gave over the money. I started researching a few days after my interview as they weren’t answering my calls, because they said they were meant to send over my photos and it took them a while. But I’m going to go to my bank tomorrow to try get my money back. As I’ve tried to call them and the line seems to be disconnected.
