Dear Modeling Scams,

I went to an open call for The Options Talent Group.

I thought it was a really cool place. I was accepted at Options, and they pressured my Mom into paying, but she couldn't, and so she told them that, and so they gave her one week to pay.

Then we found out it was a scam, they have shares for their stock, but it only costs ten cents.

These people should be put to rest. Anytime you call them they hang up on you. My Mom tried to cancel my account with them, but they always hang up.

They are full of crap and I fell for it.

I want to know are there any GOOD modeling places where they don't charge you an arm and a leg?

"After realizing the misrepresentation, I have been trying since I signed my child up to cancel and get a refund. Only now, after charging my account every month have they decided to respond by saying 'refund denied' in a vague email with no reference to the company name in question."
