I paid by debit card! - Bank wont entertain a pay back - or whatever its called! I have contacted citizens advice who told me to write to them and ask for refund via registered post.
Had a call from 'Daniel', he was all very nice at first, said I shouldn't believe all the negative online comments as it was from rival agencies!! Kept saying I didn't believe him and he said well you wont be getting your money back as you signed to say there was no refund once you left the premises.
Every person from there who gave a name or business card has NO social media profile at all.
Can you help?

Can I ask you how much did you pay? How do you know that the guy quit his job? Did the personal consultant ever called you? Did you sign the contract in which they say that the money can't be refounded? thanks.

Hello, I'm so sorry to hear about your situation, I've also been scammed by this company who charged me the same! I'm going to my bank about it but they need to be stopped and we need to be compensated. I'd like to go further into this with you so please message me if you can
THE STUDIO WORKS is a scam! I can`t believe how is it possible to happen! So many people have been lied and The studio works continue to lie every day new and new people. I have singed a contract with a "viewer" Mia Viewer(!) and she said the contract includes 5 castings per month (golden package) for 12 months. She repeated with excitement so many times that she guarantees my success and my job. THE STUDIO WORKS has never responded my emails; very rarely someone has answered on the phone. They have never given to me any specific and detailed information about the next step; they were only repeating I need to wait, it will take time... The studio works had sent me my ''website'', 15 min after my first visit to their Head office where I went to check why they don't respond to me. When I saw this website, I realised that there is no any connection between my website and The studio works; it hangs on in the middle of the nowhere. In the website of the agency you can't find any models; there are only few pictures without names and contacts. My photos are still not there...! The studio works has nothing to do with the modelling! I will make any efforts to take MY MONEY BACK. I NEVER GIVE UP!

We have been conned by the studio Works promising modelling photo shoots to our daughter by paying them £3500. Never heard from them again. They continue to operate and take advantage of young people dreaming to become models. Nobody seems to be doing anything about this. You should raise awareness of this scam

Same with Uk models.
Can anyone give me some details about this company please? I took my daughter down to London last week for her photo shoot and felt right away that the place was 'dodgy'. We almost didn't go in. But we went and did the shoot. I made excuses that I couldn't stay to view the pics as I had a train to catch so I didn't speak to the consultant. But now i'm not sure I even want to bother viewing the pics? Do they try and force you into buying pics etc?
