Kids.com, Justforkids.com, Models-kids.com, Larry Bagwell Kids.com is a scam! I signed a contract and paid a "management" fee in June 2007. They had filed for bankruptcy in Feb 2007. Lynbrook New York
In June 2007 I met with Maria Torres of Kids.com after receiving a letter that expressed interest in my son. We paid the $595.00 fee and signed a contract. A few days later we received a letter welcoming us to the "family." I took my son to have his portraits done at a wonderful, reputable studio. We received confirmation from Kids.com, his pictures were posted on the website and then we never heard from them again.
After not hearing from them for months I tried to reach both the local office in Lynbrook as well as the corporate office in New Jersey. Both numbers were disconnected. Interestingly enough before i could take it any further I received a call from the photography studio that Kids.com left everyone high and dry. I was told that Kids.com had file for bankruptcy in February 2007 but were still accepting clients- I signed my son on in June!
I plan on taking whatever action necessary to get my money back. If anyone has already started the process please let me know of any information that may help expedite my claim.
