I am very upset that I didnt see any of this information before I sent in my $200! The only reason why I agreed to submit a desposit for a photo shoot is because the woman who referred me to Ms Beckford aka Hillary Dixon (real name) convinced me that this would be a big step in my career! HA! the joke was on me and they both probally split the money and had dinner at my expense! I am very upset and I urge anyone who has been victimized by this Phony Company to File a Police report... Isnt it funny (Clones Management) look at the name... It just sound fishy! but of course at the time you dont notice these things until its too late. Im sure other people have been scammed out of more than $200 but I tell you one thing Im about to blow this thing out of the water!
If you have been victimized by this modeling company or any other please contact my website
(((REDACTED)))and lets bring things like this to an END!

I would like to state that I know HBM and have worked with the company. They are great. I have had girls who have went and worked with her that have been featured in MAJOR films such as Spiderman 3, Music and Lyrics with Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore, "Ugly Bettye" TV series, major print and promotional materials, and MUCH more, too many to name on here. I would like to say that my own experience have been nothing but wonderful for years and continues to be. I would recommend Hilory to anyone looking for a dependable, hard working manager. She has a VERY successful son by the name of Tyson Beckford..yeah the MALE SUPERMODEL, she has helped and supported him all through out his career. My advice is to ignore non sence on here posted by people that you have no clue are or what their motive is for posting these accusations, meet and speak to Hilory, look at her work history and numerous success stories and then make YOUR OWN OPINION about her. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, so why don't you be the judge of YOUR OWN. Thank you!

It is strange how I got to this report, but I did actually have prior contact with HB via email. To explain why I am here would be to simply state that I found a recent post by her agency on Craigslist Philadelphia seeking models of all types for paying jobs... (( link redacted by ROR))) I remembered her name from an unsolicited email I received which centered around starting a business relationship with her agency as a photographer. She approached me in a very unprofessional manner and did not even explain how she came to get my personal email. I later came to learn that it was from a model I was about to work with. I'm not clear as to how HB got my email because the model apologized for me having to deal with HB. HB's approach was very uncomfortable and awkward and her grammer was incredibly poor. All these things instantly threw up a red flag for me. Funny thing was that I attempted to help her hone her writing skills with constructive criticism and she, sadly, became upset with me and said she didn't want to pursue a business relationship with me anymore. We never even began to talk business in the first place. I found her whole approach overbearing and perhaps that is why the model was apologizing to me for the whole incident. I was considering contacting HB via the Craigslist post to see if we could come to a business agreement this time around, but chose rather to search the internet for any references to HB. The very first one was this rip off report site! One more red flag! I am only writing this to help others avoid what could be a disappointing or upsetting circumstance if they choose to get involved with this individual. I don't know her any more than what I've stated, but it is not any stretch of the imagination that an individual in this field could be an untrustworthy business person. My personal opinion to all of this is that if two parties are honest in their business dealings, all efforts will be sought to reconcile with one another. Judge for yourself.

Glad to see your report. We have one too under Hilory Beckford Management or Clones Model Management. Hilory's name is Hilary, Hillary Dixon, Beckford or etc. After our report we have had numerous people try to slander our daughter and us with outrageous lies on this report to make people think we are liars. We have not yet responded to the slander. Check it out though, and good luck! Thank you for caring enough to help protect others from modeling scams. These reports actually work!
