Modeling Scams

[model_mom]

This should serve as a warning to all young members who desire to have their pictures posted on the web in order to start modeling. There are so many sleeze agencies and scams out there,that even the goverment is finally cracking down on them.

Thanks you for sharing this ... MM. It is sooo important to be very cautious. There are som many sleazy things out there ... so many people who prey on young model "wannabees" ... and exploit them for money or take their money for nothing, really.

Every aspiring model needs to do her (or his) homework and run from people that set up shop on the web. If it isn't an outright scam or exploitive like this one ... it's usually just a waste of money. Legitimate, land based agencies are the best way to go ... the web is an invitation to serious trouble.
