We signed a contract with Carolyn's Model & Talent Agency last year for my daughter. Basically we paid for pictures from their photographer. The pictures were horrible not even worth a $ 100 but we paid around $ 600. A similar thing happened with a friend of mine she paid the same amount for her daughter and some more money for the cosmetic products she was told to but for her daughter which supposedly you can only buy from Carolyn's.
We were promised that her pictures would be submitted to big companies but we never got a call for almost 3 months. I called the office one day to ask them what was going on they told me her pictures were submitted but the clients did not select your daughter. After a few days I got a call from them that she has an audition, we were very happy but the audition turned out to be a small gig for a promotional company where she was suppose to serve drinks. My daughter did that job and worked very hard at the job but at the end was not paid the amount she was promised. I had to call and email them 3 times just to get her paid!!!
The other casting we got was a non-paying job and those were the only two calls we have received from them till date. It has been almost 12 months and we have heard nothing from them. Now we just gave up on them but we have a very sour taste in my mouth - very sleazy people. I would like to know that other people won't be taken advantage of this way. I'm chalking the experience up to - you live, you learn - but I would like to do what I can to assure they don't make money in this dishonest way.
They don't do anything to really get jobs for their models! Just another SCAM AGENCY.
