Complaint Review: Wilhelmina Scouting Network

I was stopped by a Wilhelmina Scouting Network Scout,while in the Bayside Mall in Miami Florida. She told me I should be modeling and was perfect for there open call which would take place at the Miami Office On 8/25/03. I went to the Miami Office on 8/25/03. I was interviewed by Daniel Williams who stated that he was an executive at the company I had the look to be a print model. I would get exposue on there website for a one time fee of $995. and a montly fee of 19.95.

I agreed thinking I would get what was promised based on the fact that the company was affiliated with the Wilhelmina Modeling Agency. I have not received what was promised and it has been brought to my attention by upn9 news and fox 5 news that this company is under investigation for fraud and deception.

I live in NYC and was assigned to the Time Square Office which is now closed after being exposed on upn 9 news in NYC. This company uses deception to make innoccent people think they will become models & continues to take money from inspiring models without getting them work.
