Wow, where to start. Lornik is a modeling agency who will teake anyone regardless of their potential, charge them upfront fees and will never get you work. They have you sign a contract confirming that you understand you may never get work in advance. One thing is for sure, you wont. Legitimate agencies dont advertise in newspapers or charge upfront fees.

Look up Lornik on the internet to find countless other complaints. try the better business bureau

There are pictures on their website that are outdated by YEARS. They are currently using my daughter's pictures on their website although she hasnt been represented by them for years. She is about 12 months old in the pics and is now 5 years old. I have asked them to remove my daughters pictures and they refuse. I am in the process of taking legal action against them. They are doing this to over 30 kids!! Check the site...some of these kids were born in '96 and they have pics of 2 year olds up there. No legit agency would allow this. This is false advertising and misuse of my child's image.

It sickens me that they are still in business.

Hi Shelley.. I would like to touch base with you if you are interested ?! I am being ripped off by this company as we speak. Only difference is they are called IN Model Management now. Guess a leopard never changes it's spots.

I have contact the BBB, I have contacted consumer affairs and I haven't even scratched the surface. I am in the process of taking legal action as we speak. I have several issues with them but the most severe right now is the fact that they refuse to take my children's pictures down !! (well, they haven't actually refused as I can't even get a reply from them but my children's photos are still up there !) Who does this ?

I am usually part of the 95% who would just let things go but not a chance this time. This is completly ridiculous and unfair. I want my money back and I want my children's OFF their website. I will not go away !

Shame on me for trusting this crap company !

i will respond to you lorraine,and you know who i am,my name is Shelley and your response is so full of lies and broken promises,yes it is me who had consumer protection contact me after many complaints about you taking ppls money many ppls money,including mine,but when i showed up with court papers,it was then that you decided to give me my money back,and then threaten with all this slander crap,because that is what you hide behind.then consumer protection contacts ME to come to my home all the way from toronto to gather whatever papers it is i had,and believe me i kept everything,im a smart gal,so smart that i didnt fall for your bull and pursued my money back because i just had a very bad feeling when i walked into your office,kinda like the hairs standing up on the back of your neck.i should have listened to my intuition,now if your going to file a response to me id be very careful because i forward everything to consumer protection,and to get back to that when they came to my home,i found that this is the second time they are bringing you to court,the first time to got a hefty fine,to us would be hefty but to to you,is nothing as you continue to make broken promises to ppl and take there hard earned money.i am in close contact with the lady from consumer protection via email keeping an eye on whats happening in your current court proceedings,as i will eventually show up at one of them.

Well, we are responding to the 'blog' written by someone who has a problem revealing their true name, other than "Jenny" COWARDS do this! We do not just represent anyone but people we feel have a 'chance' in our industry. However, there is NO GUARANTEE of any work, which EVERY client is made aware of verbally and this is also outlined in our agreements. The company that is looking for a person will make the ultimate decision, as to whether or not THEY wish to accept that person for an event, commercial, etc. "Jenny" is talking about what is legal or not legal and yet, WHO is "Jenny"?? What does "Jenny" know?? WE DO EVERYTHING ABOVE BOARD IN OUR AGENCY and we do NOT disclose last names for privacy reasons. Should a client of ours wish for us to post their child on our site or themselves, they need to sign for this! "Jenny" seems to be upset, yet she doesn't enclose her last name or her daughter's name. ANYONE can do this! Jenny' statements are uncalled for, as well, as slanderous, which in our country is ILLEGAL and she should really cease and desist from making false accusations. Regards, Alex, LORNIK
