Chicago Top Models BEWARE! CHICAGO TOP MODELS AND THEIR AGENT, DEE, IS NOTHING BUT A SCAM! Chicago Illinois
I had a meeting with one of the agents, DEE, who told me I had to do pictures with CHICAGO TOP MODELS or else they wouldn't find me any jobs. I already had a recently done comp card that other agencies told me was very nice
but he told me CHICAGO TOP MODELS wouldn't accept it. DEE said that they will only use their own photography. He said that if I did their test shoot that I wouldn't need to do anythig else. Even though it cost $110, I agreed to do it and then DEE scheduled me to come back one week later to look at the pictures and pick up a CD with the pictures on it.
In spite of saying that I wouldn't have to spend any more money, when I went back to review the pictures, he tried to sell me ANOTHER comp card. When I asked about a portfolio, he said that the portfolio comes AFTER the comp card, which would, you guessed it, cost even more money.
DEE said that EVERYBODY with CHICAGO TOP MODELS HAS to do a comp card AND a portfolio or else they won't send your pictures out to the casting companies and you won't get any jobs. Then what did I do the test shoot for???
By the way, their comp cards are $600 and the portfolios are over $300 so, in total, they expect you to pay them over $1,000 to get started and they can't even guarantee you any jobs.
THIS IS ANOTHER SCAM AGENCY WITH ANOTHER SCAM AGENT. STAY AWAY UNLESS YOU HAVE MONEY YOU DON'T NEED. I'm fed up with agencies that tell you they don't charge you any $$$$$ to get started and then ram it down your throat later on. I guess if they do it with a smile on their face and they tell you about all the fake jobs they have coming up, you're supposed to want to give them your money.
SPREAD THE WORD AND POST THIS EVERYWHERE. STAY AWAY FROM CHICAGO TOP MODELS. THEY ONLY WANT YOUR MONEY, THEN MORE
MONEY AND EVEN MORE MONEY AFTER THAT.
