It's a scam. The images on their website and Instagram have been taken from stock image websites.

I got a call from them, they said I did not need to pay anything but needed to come for a photoshoot. What are they about? When I saw the website it looked like a scam.

It's a scam. I looked into this site recently for another user and found that the photos on their website are taken from stock image sites (a modelling agency would use their own pictures, don't you think?) and they're using the name of a reputable Italian agency to create the impression that they're affiliated.

They charge you after they’ve taken the photos.

Here’s someone’s experience with them (note that CityModelsHub and PopModels belong to the same company as can be confirmed on their T&C pages): https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/www.citymodelshub.co.uk

I've just had a photo shoot with them.. Looks professional and they persuaded me to part with £200.. paying the rest of £900 over 4 months.. but it's a scam, beware.. Just been onto my bank to stop further payments going out..

You are doing the right thing, I was duped into signing a contract and parted with £200 . Gutted because I am really struggling financially at the moment and was hoping to make some money from doing some modeling work.. Not much chance of getting my money back..

A company that exists to con people out of thousands of pounds isn't quite the same as a few people disliking a hotel. It's more like if you got to the hotel and were charged an additional £1000 upfront, and whether or not you agreed to pay you still lose what you already spent booking the room in the first place.
