No, but if they've offered you a 'test shoot' and there's a deposit involved... avoid. Just another scam agency.

My son was approached (16 years old) and I emailed them with more questions and telephoned for more details in both cases they didnt answer any of my questions. We have since decided not to proceed with them.

Scam: no deposit return after 2 months of waiting and continuously contacting xenon managers to only hear the repetitious “let us figure it out and call you back”. Extremely frustrating scam of young people. DON’T RECOMMEND.

I read briefly the thread, one of the people behind xenon models is none other than Chelsea Singh,(big brother celebrity reject). I would be careful about going to their office to claim your money back as he usually has heavy's with him. this is coming from someone who worked for this organization for about 2 weeks and realized I wasn't going to get paid.No career will take off from working with them. one of his buddies who goes under the name mike or daniel or multiple other alias' is a small-time club owner from Malta. They operate from a pub in Marylebone.21a devonshire street.W1g6pd.his number is 35677772562.

I paid £50 and I'm yet to go but the thing is they're not answering my calls so don't risk it. I'd go though for my refund

Xenon model agency is a big scam, I took my daughter, her pictures was taken, I was hoping to get her into modelling as they promised me on phone. One lady told me that she was asked to pay 1400 pounds for her daughter’s photos, I was curious and I asked one the young man who work there about the money they are asking and he ignored me! I told him that they are stealing from people! Well, I was asked to go home, I didn’t get the photos not even refund. At work I told my colleagues what happened one of the ladies told us how she paid 1800 pounds to xenon model and she was given only photos and a list of companies she will call and ask if they need models. Please avoid xenon model is A SCAM SCAM SCAM

Heya I don't recommend, I thought they were real.They were real until they disappearedI paid £50, they said it was refundable but I haven't heard from them nor have I got my money back.I went and they took my pictures I did everything.But after they just ignored my emails and I didn't even get to see my pictures so I hope you learn from my experience
It is a scam. We went the 16th of November two days ago and told us that the Gap is gonna call us today but nothing, they took our £2000 and we can't have them back. This is just a SCAM!!!!!!

Report them to Action Fraud, then contact your bank. It's possible (but not guaranteed) you might be able to get something back, depending on how you paid.
