They cunningly fool eager parents into believing that their kids might be future stars and commands a large fee upfront...
Company is allegedly trying to find modelling work for clients babies and commands a large fee up front ; sold / covered for on the guise that not everybody is going to get work... Clients are convinced to come from more well off areas of town and drive some 40 miles to facility. Hence they are less likely to return to ask for their money back.
Company works from a very official looking office in LA in not a bad area and goes to every length to convince clients that everything is legit. Suspicsion is raised by the mountain of very similar looking referal letters printed in the same font almost and the robotic but convincing sales pitch of two employees.
Clients are put in a playroom first of all and made very comfortable ; when called in to interview are told that they were on film whilst in waiting room.ccTVs are evident but there is no tape in them and are strategically in view of client.
Client is given flattering compliments regarding child and clients are made to feel good and hence depart with their money with ease. Clients are told agency doesnt reply by email and are given pagers which do not acept numerical messages.
