Millenium Model Management - Model Search America THEY WILL RIP YOU OFF GUARANTEED!!! Vienna Virginia
I went to Model Search America. A friend of mind recommended it to me. She had such great success with it so I figured what the heck and went for it. I was disappointed when I got there and I didnt hear my number called but I thought oh well I met some great people and had a blast that weekend. I received a phone call about a month later from Millennium Model Management saying that they wanted me to attend the open call that they were holding in my city. I jumped for joy with excitement. I got there and they explained to me that I had to pay for classes that I had to attend. I went along with it because it wasn't like I was paying to work I was paying to learn. After the photo shoot that I had a feeling that something was wrong. I did not receive any of the pictures that I had taken and I emailed and called Millennium and never got a response from them.
That's when I decided to take matters further. I looked on the internet and that's where I found all of the scam articles on Millennium Model Management and Model Search America. I was so disappointed. All I have to say is that if your gut is telling you that something is wrong follow it cause chances are that your gut is right. It was too late for me and a few others that were there with me but it is not to late for you. Model Search America is still hunting for prey. They have a covention coming up in April. The dates are April 6-8, 2007. The location is at the Bally's in Las Vegas. They will do nothing but take your money so dont go to the convention or you will be heart broken.

I am with Model Search America and can only speak for MSA as we do not work with Millenium Model Management.
In response to the above complaint:
During the event Tiffany attended, we tried out a new system that had the callback numbers up on the screen. If her number didn't appear on the screen due to a glitch, we apologize.
The fact is that Tiffany DID get a callback. She was #604. I am going to hand the information over to the Customer Service department so she can get the information from us and she get in touch with the agency that wanted to work with her (please allow me a couple of days from 1/28 to inform the entire Customer Service staff so they know what info to give you). Hopefully they will still have an opportunity for her. Regardless on her feelings about us, we would like her to at least call the agency as that was the whole reason for her to attend our event.
Tiffany:
I'm very sorry for what you went through. What we promised you was exposure and that's what we gave you. You had exposure and an agency WANTED to work with you. We hope that we can still get you in touch with them to see what they have to offer you.
Your runway pictures are beautiful. Don't be heart-broken. Keep sending out your comp-cards. Some very famous models didn't make it instantly. Some tried for years before becoming successful. If this is your dream, keep doing it; even if you are not happy with our company.
