Avoid dealing with “206 model management”, avoid dealing Nick Tarnowski, President/Agent. Business model of these bustards is simple and sneaky. They exploit your kids dream to become a model, and your desire not to damage your kid by simply forbidding a dream. You come with a kid to the interview. They do their best to give you a descent first impression like: respectful company,  tons of experience, tons of contacts and opportunities. The they exam your kid’s gait, posture, smile, diction, etc. Then they  question your kid about school, habits, and a … miracle: “you know, usually it takes two-three weeks to make a decision, we have such a high competition here, but your kid impressed us a lot, your kid is outstanding. We ready to sign a contract right now if you are ready.” They say it in front of your kid looking at you with delight in eyes, hmm – try to resist.  Enrolment fee - $1270. They tell you that this fee will cover everything: workshop, profile, photo session, all future modelling lessons, etc. etc. In couple weeks you will find that photo session requires additional $35, and you think – fine, not a big deal. Later on you’ll find that participation in castings require Comp Cards. Nick provides Comp Cards for additional $150. You ask – wait a sec, Nick, you mentioned that everything is covered by the initial payment. Answer – I never said that. You ask – Nick, after a few month, where is my kid’s profile? You mentioned it’s covered, where is it? No answer. He just starts ignoring your emails. I understand that returning my money back is next to impossible, pretty sure that those bustards are guarded by the contract that we signed without a proper reading. I should of make a simple google search “Nick Tarnowski + fraud” before signing it. But I want to help others to avoid it.

Finally Nick provided “online portfolio” which happened to be a couple of pictures located at the beginner-level website with a broken navigation between a few pages.  By the way, contract names it as Online Portfolio via the Modasphere Platform, “fashion industry premiere submission platform”. If you make a Google search for Modasphere, you get just a few related hits and #1 hit is a Rippoff report:  Fake offices, Conflict of Interest, No true support Internet, etc. You also get other related to Modaspherehits about fake, scam, etc.
