I signed up with Patrik Simpson and Network International to do modeling and acting. They tried to get me to pay up front for new pictures and give them money for ZED cards. I refused because I had good pics already and didn't need new ones just then. I also saw what was on the walls in his office and was not impressed. They all had gold tint to cover imperfections. But they ended up looking cheesy and trashy. I didn't want my face looking like that.
Patrik said they would get me modeling work but they never got me booked anywhere. They did not communicate via email, give me casting calls, or audition info. All the work I got, I found on my own. There was one job where I had to list my agent, so I said it was Network International. It took over 10 months and a letter to the Better Business Bureau before he paid me the modeling fee. I actually had to do all the communicating with the job to get myself paid - the job had paid him within a month, he just never paid me.
