I recieved a letter in the mail with my name on it saying my child was recently brought to "their" attention. My husband and I have discussed this a few times as far as having our daughter model, so we gave the company a call.
Tony Gray was happy to do a phone interview to find out if my daughter was ugly by phone, and with his approval set up an "in office" interview. My daughter just turned three going on 10 and is great judge of character.
We got to the so called agency (which was a doctor like waiting area with lots of kids toys, wife and child sitting at the "main desk"). We get there 5 min. Before our apt. And he makes us wait 15 min. Before inviting us into his so called office. There were a bunch of pictures of babies in ads on the walls that were of no one he has contracted by the way. He told us our daughter was perfect and would have a wonderful career in the modeling agency. It would only be $595 for five years. Ummm most of us people are not on the top of the food chain so of course we kindof choked. My husband said that we would need to discuss this at home and get back to him. He said he would cut the payments up so it would not be so much of a chunk. He could do $200, then $177 and $177 but we would have to decide right now. I am easily taken in, it sounded good, but my husband new right away.
Tony wanted to argue with my husband about some of the modeling he said he has done. He said that he has contracted children for Best Buy ads, in which Best buy does not have kids in their ads nor do they contract outside of Best buy employees. So Tony got into an argument that yes he did and he knows so and so at Best Buy and my husband can ask him.
Now my daughter from the second she met him said "that is not Tony". We kind of laughed it off, but she kept hidding from him and would not talk with him because she said he is not the real Tony.
We left and did not give him a penny, and after talking more on the way home with my husband I really realized how much he was in it for the money. He didn't even look at my daughter.
Please do not go there unless you want to waste your time and money.
