Hello,

This is about the "Infinite Talent Usa"

They are absolutelly a fraud !

this is my story :

When i was 19 I was stopped in a mall in Glendale and told that i had the look and the face to make it in modeling by a scout. And because i had modeled when i lived in italy, i thought that they were for real .

I didn't know that i was falling prey to a bunch of wolves. I was given an address and an appointment in orange county. Before i went to my appointment , i called to make sure that i had everything straight .

I talked to a lady named Heather on the phone , and she was very nice , and she told me that i had a wonderful personality etc..etc..fed me a whole bunch of BS !

Because i love the modeling and the entertainment business i got so excited about all the promises they gave me , and they really presented themselves very well !

when i got to the office in Laguna Hills , i saw 4 more candidates waiting in the hall and (not to be mean ) but there were a couple of people that didn't look like they could model at all body wise , and a girl had one arm only (i am not kidding ) so i thought that they were trying to give everyone equal opportunity and at that time i thought that , what they were doing was awfully sweet .

But ...moving on . we all got called in one by one , and in the phone interview they told me that they were very selective and that 1 in 15 would be chosen to work with them , but everyone that was coming out of there was cheering and was happy that they were accepted , and not only they were told that they will be having a photoshoot in a mansion!

So then i thought WOW this is amazing..then i have a chance too .

So they called me in , measured me , asked me a handfull of questions and my credit card .

They told me that i had the look and that all i needed now was a portfolio (which i had already) but they told me i had to have another one done , that will be more appropriate for the looks that they had in mind for me .

So i agreed and they gave me a contract and a whole bunch of other papers .

They said that there were 100's of jobs..especially for me and there was a $30 monthly membership fee as well.

There was supposed to be a photoshoot in a "Mansion" in Hollywood , with a very "famous " photographer the following week. and i was to be there . the fees that they were charging me was supposed to include the rental of the mansionand the hotographer and the stulist fees .

The whole amount was $641.11 (i still have receipts )

but my credit card had only $150 available .

So they charged it and told me that i should bring the cash within 2 days .

So i did (how silly of me )

really... blinded by the possibility of success.

the next day i brought them the rest of the mula $ 491.11

and the photoshoot was 3 days away .

I was so excited and i was extatic, because i was going to meet aspiring models like myself etc..

The photoshoot was Sunday July 5th , 2005

and i was ready to go the so called "Mansion" was a little dump 200 year old home in los angeles on a heel that was ready to fall .

it was :

1356 Miller Place

Los Angeles CA ,90069

When my fiance' drove me there we were both wondering if we were at the wrong place . there were already 8 people there .

The photographer's name was Tom Casey

and the stylist was Deanne Reynolds .

The shoot went on fine and they were very nice to us .

But then my investigative mind kicked in and i started asking everyone what they payed and all the detals .

I found out that we all payed different amounts that varied from $600 to $ 900 .

And that is when the suspicion began .

However....no one ever got the PORTFOLIOS that we payed for .

No one ever called back and it seemed like we didn't exist to the company .

So i got really frustrated and mad and decided to call them...Joana (another predator )picked up the phone and hung up on me when i was explaining my concerns .

and this continued for months . i haven't given up yet , i know that JUSTICE will be done .

They take advantage of people and kids who worked night and day to earn that money they took from them and me .

i have given up on getting back my money .

but i know that HEATHER DUBACK and rachel and joana and all of those girls will get what will come to them .

They are horrible people !

NOW I KNOW BETTER AND I WOULD DO MY BEST TO PREVENT OTHER PEOPLE TO BE SCAMMED LIKE THIS . NO ONE DESERVES IT!

IF THESE PEOPLE SPENT THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME THEY SPEND SCAMMING PEOPLE IN A REAL HONEST JOB, THEY WOULD BE REALLY GOOD

THEY BELONG IN JAIL!

IF ANYONE KNOWS ANYTHING ABOUT THIS COMPANY

PLEASE LET ME KNOW !

SOMETHING NEED TO BE DONE!

THANKS FOR READING

Nancy

Amad black Woman!

note:

what i have learned :

if you want to model and an agency really wants you , you shouldn't pay a dime ...they should pay and provide for you , because after all you are the one who is going to make them money .

so parents please beware protect your kids!

ciao

Sounds Like Someone Has A Lying Problem

I read this and was completely shocked that someone could make up as many lies as I've just read. I worked for Infinite Talent for about a year and had to leave about 6 months ago because I my husband's job relocated us to the East coast. It was the best job I've ever had, I cried when I left. This is an honest company and does NOT lie to their models. I know that one of the ladies I worked with had a prior job with a modeling company that filed bankruptcy; bad press has been linked with Infinite Talent because of it. It was upsetting to see that affect Infinite Talent, they don't operate how that company did and don't have anything to do with them. As far as some of the things mentioned on this website posted by a former talent named Nancy. I'm pretty sure that I know who this might be. So far everything she has stated is untrue. They don't have scouts and they especially don't look for talent in the malls. Anyone that comes to Infinite Talent has either been referred or pursued the company at their own will. It's hard to rebuttal all of her complaints because none of them are true or even close to being true. Give me a break who is going to work with a one armed model?! I know when I worked there, that we would get hundreds of people daily wanting to be a model with the company. I was told that we were only looking for a handful of new talent every so often. Each qualified talent was interviewed at least two different times before being accepted. With only a few people working for the company how would it be possible for them to accept everyone that walks through the door. When I did interviews I spent at least and hour to an hour and half with each potential model. Not once has anyone at an open call been asked for a credit card!!!!!!! The reason I remember Nancy is because she didn't have pictures so we referred her to a photographer and they actually did a shoot in a mansion. From what I remember she did not pay for her photos and in order to maintain a professional relationship with an outstanding photographer Heather had to pay for her photos. I think what all this really boils down to is that Infinite Talent ended the relationship with Nancy because of unprofessional attitude/actions. For anyone that comes across this I would definitely recommend them. They have had lots of success stories and hundreds of satisfied models. You can't always believe everything you read.
