Scam modeling alert!

Hello, I have the same experience, I have paid for it and everything, the gave me a scrape of paper which is only a welcome form. No contract, no proper contact details, I’m not sure what to

Please can you let me know what you have done as they took £500 off my credit card and now when I call, they are saying that they will call later and then they don’t. I was made to believe that as well and mine juss happened recently on the 16th of May 2019. These pole are scums, they juss take ur money and watch u leave knowing what they are doing. I hope karma comes back to haunt them because I’m a struggling single parent of two children who is surviving on maternity pay and they had the nerve to take that lot knowingly. I have called I have send emails I have done all sorts, they are ignoring me.




I also need to take action. What can I do please. They took £500 from me

Did you get a refund?

Did you get a refund?

Omg I wish I read these reviews before I went today. I couldn't believe it's in a little unit in a not so nice area. I read to believe on the application that to come get some free shoots and see if you have potential, which they said i did which i was suprised about tbh. I had my feed back then i was talked to about agents in London, I'm a single mum with 2 dependants I can't travel to London and im not working so can't afford 300 for portfolio. Luckily I've not spent any money as I didn't have it hence unemployed which I put on my application. Yhey said they give me a week cool off period but they be hetting an email to say sorry burn photos and thanks for wasting my precious time.

No not yet, I will be going to the studio if not.


Did you get a refund? Or spoke to anyone ?

Hi there Jana and others. I shoot today with M models,an online booking.com agency. Their are suited in London at Camden Studio close to William hill beeting shop. So I showed up today for the free shoot,waited for a few minutes to see if I made it to which I did but they later told me that a certain amount has to be done ranking from £300 to £2000.. I didn't pay them anything,I just told them I will tomorrow. Is this the same agency that screwed you over???

Hi Dear,yes they are the same agency please do not pay anything to them...do not even go back there...it is a scam...and they won`t give you back your money...I am trying to get back my money with my bank...

To me, it happened the exact same and on the same date as to you. We should contact a lawyer, get all together with our evidence and take them to court.

Hi,I sent my pictures for them yesterday, and today i just received a conrats email. I called them up and the guy said i need to pay £50 deposit just for the booking and keep the slot for me in the selected appointment and I will give it back when I show up. Actually, It is just fun for me because it s free but if they truly scammers then just wasting time and my money to go there. What do you think?

Everyone beware of this company model bookings online iv been and stopped people today from being charged excessive amounts for images you don’t need or promising you opportunities! Please everyone be aware!

A friend just forwarded this discussion from student room.
I too have been a victim, I went somewhere called MM company but are called Malibu studios . The photo shoot resulted in very ugly photos of me which apparently I had no rights to have access to.. they showed me these packages of £300 , £500 and £1000..promising me that I will definitely get work, atleast once a week!
I should have walked out of there but I felt so trapped . I ended up giving in to that prick's sweet talk and ended up paying £150.. 50 % deposit of the £300 package.. I dont remember signing any contract though.. however the did make me sign what looks like a table with sentences in each row .. stuff like I am happy for agencies to use my photos .. I remember one sentence saying "I am happy to pay additional fees which I may be charged by agencies I am put forward to".

I am not rely sure what to do... I cancelled my card and requested my bank to dispute and try if they can get the money back for me.. this is just..so much punishment just to get some exposure to be noticed...
