Complaint Review: Prima Facia - Glamour Model And Talent - Anthony Moya

My husband and I took our three girls to Prima Facia with the hopes of them starting a prosperous modeling career. They were so excited about having their pictures taken and we sacrificed money we really didn't have to have their pictures taken and purchase their CD's. Their excitement grew when we viewed the CD's and were told that they had a promising future in modeling especially because they were three sisters close in age.

We were then sent to an agency across the street where the girls were scheduled to take another set of pictures with the possibility of being placed in a book that was used by agents across the world seeking fresh faces. We began making payments and our children were scheduled for a second set of pictures. My husband and I grew suspicious of the company at the second photography shooting.

The photographer, different from the first one, was very impatient with the children who were actually doing well and commented that this was why he hated photographing children. We felt that because of his attitude towards the children, they didn't photograph as well as they did with the first photographer. The representative from Glamour said he would preview the photos and get back to us. He called us back immediately and said that the photos were great and once we finished making payments they would be placed in the modeling book.

My husband and I decided this was not a good idea after all and seemed like a scam. We called and asked if we could use our down payment to pay for the photos on CD's. We called more than once with this request and still haven't gotten a return call. We have since relocated to Georgia and I decided to pull up their website to see if maybe my children's photos had been placed on the website. Instead I found Reports on Rip-off Report and when I finally located their website found that their website is under construction and their telephone number has been changed.

I am very disappointed and hope that anyone who runs into Anrhony Moya or Prima Facia runs fast the other way!
