We heard an addvertisement on the raido, If you have ever wanted to be a model. We were hooked. Screening to be helded in our community of Pocatello, at the Holiday Inn, hummmmm, must be ligit.
My 14 year old daughter was so jazzed, and nervious, she had to buy a new out fit, and get her hair styled just before showing up. She along with many others were selected to come back for a 2 hr. Disscussion and picture taking. Each child taken aside and interviwed. They were told to call the next morning to see if they were selected.
The cost of there services for pictures, training and exposure to begin working in the field of print, TV and film would cost only $700. I wonder how they came up with that figure. This of course is what tiped us off. I will not allow my daughter to be a victum of fraud.
It is bad enough that her self esteam just droped through the floor, and she has gone in to a deep depression. Now, what do we as parents do to encourage our children to follow there dreams? There are ligit agency's out there, but how do we find them.in any case these phonys should be stoped. Count the dollars this company is collecting from hopeful young people. When they sign up 100 kids, at $700 each. The emotional damage far exceeds that of any monatary dollar figure. Check out their web site.
Sincerly distressed parent.
