Beware of Mr. Carl Carranza's child modeling scam.
We are recent victims of his fraudulent practice and are filing a case against him. Mr. Carranza's scams include illegal advance fee requests, pretense for being a legitimate practice, and use of hardball sales and emotional tactics to acquire money from intelligent and innocent parents.
Mr. Carranza will compliment your child and tell you everything you want to hear. He will also say things like "I only see children once a year", "Hundreds of kids come knocking on my door, I don't have time to see everyone." He will have you sign a contract which includes no refunds or no cooling periods, which is illegal by California law. Nor will he print in the contract the amount of money (advance fee) he stole from you.
If you find yourself in this situation, contact the following and make a report immediately: Better Business Bureau, Federal Trade Commission telephone #: 1-877-382-4357, Department of Industrial Relations, email address is www.dir.ca. Gov, Attorney General's Office, email address is www.ag.ca. Gov.
We not only want our money back, but we want to make sure no other parents are victims of a scam. We want to put a stop to people like Mr. Carranza and businesses like his.
