LeModeln Model & Talent Agency located in Boardman, Ohio is a total rip-off. This agency collects a booking fee for jobs that you are booked for. You are never booked for any jobs but still have to pay $30.00 per month for a booking fee. The jobs that they do call you about are mostly fake and if you do audition for a job at the office, you are charged a fee of $10.00 or $20.00 cash to audition and this fee goes right in the pocket of the owner, Linda Weaver. I have extensive experience with this agency having been under a contract for about 7 years.
Every job that i ever got through this agency was no more than an extra in a low budget movie, background in a low budget commercial, or promotion work that lasted 12-14 hours a day and never got paid for the work. If you do a job, you will not get paid. The agency will say that your pay must go for agency fees or booking fees. I was owed $280.00 for two jobs i did and after 6 mos of not receiving pay, i was told that the monies owed to me had to go towards my contract renewal.
Although i cancelled my contract, she still kept the money for the contract renewal. I am currently in the process of suing Lemodeln for the $280.00 in small claims court. Lemodeln Talent Agency consists of one woman (Linda Weaver) and temp, hired help that assist her in ripping everone off that walks through the door. Talent Agencies do not charge a booking fee. They only receive 20% of anything you make. If they charge a fee for booking per month, do not sign a contract with this company. Lemodeln Talent Agency will continue to do this to people until they are shut down. If you have any dreams of becoming and actor or model, do not sign with this company. Linda Weaver is only concerned with stealing your money and making herself rich... And she is... She has been doing this for over 10 years and has probably banked more that $500,000.00 in cash (just estimated). If you have the same problem with this agency please post it and let me know about your problems with this company. A class action lawsuit must be filed against this Talent Agency.
