Complaint Review: Ariza Model And Talent

DO NOT give this company your money they are unlicenced according to the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation. Their license status is "Null and Void" as of 5/31/2006 and they are currently under investigation with the state. I did my homework a bit too late after giving them $325 for comp cards for my 6 year old son who models in Miami... we thought it would be a good idea to break into the Orlando market also. I'm sure it is but not with this place!! Florida has specific laws that make it illegal for a booking agency to ask for money for training, classes, photography services, portfolios, comp cards, etc. so what they did to me was illegal.

Florida Statue 468.403 states: A person may not own, operate, solicit business, or otherwise engage in or carry on the occupation of a talent agency in this state unless such person first procures a license for the talent agency from the department.

So with this said... how will they get you the work with Disney, Sea World, ESPN, etc. that they promise??? I really doubt that these large compaines that they claim to work with are really going to work with a company representing themselves illeagally.
