Have you googled the agency / site you signed up with? An anonymous post about an unknown agency isn't likely to yield anything concrete one way or the other.

I was searching up modelling agencies in google and that was the first thing that popped up and I signed up for it

Hi it’s a scam please make sure you really research in the future to find out if it’s legit or not

If you search up pose online there’s nothing about it at all it’s as if it doesn’t even exist usually when you search up a modelling agency you’ll get loads of pictures members of the agency and all of that it’s a bit obvious
Oh then should I still make sure to go to my photoshoot to get my £50 back?
I mean, if it's a scam... then shouldn't you just ask your bank for a chargeback lol.
