I had contacted this individual 2007 in January about a posting on craigslist. I was looking for headshots (as I am an actress) and he offered reasonable services. ($199.00) for head and body shots along with a cd of the images. He also said he would throw in a class with Patti Calis (A big name casting director in Seattle) I agreed and went on the photo shoot at Gasworks Park in Seattle. When I arrived there, there was a woman, his "assistant" Robin Meyer, she did nothing but stand there and watch.
After the photo shoot I paid him cash $200.00 and he said that the pictures would be ready in about a week. I asked for a reciept which I retained for my records. A week later I gave him a call. He said that there was something wrong with his computer and that he was going to have a friend fix it. He said it would take about 2 weeks. I said "ok, give me a call when it is fixed." About 3 weeks went by and I still have not heard anything back from this guy, so I gave him a call. He didn't answer. I left a message expressing my need for these pictures. I kept calling him week after week with no response. I have not recieved more than one phone call from him and never saw my pictures.
I earlier this year called Patti Calis and asked her if I could take her class because I was scammed out of it. She told me she had no prior arrangement with this man, she didn't even know him. He claims to have "connections" which he clearly DOES NOT. His agency consists of (just him). It is now 2008 and he is AGAIN posting ads on craigslist. I have received countless e-mails from people who were scammed out of there money from this guy. He is a genuine crook!
