I went to Modeling Placement Center thinking that they were a legit company to work with for my sons modeling. I also met with Dianne Paulson. She is a CROOK! She explained to me that my son is very handsome and he will get work. She told me that is will be $400 to sign up which I paid her and she charged my card (the wrong card) without my authorization to do so. She explained to me that my son would need head shots and a "photo shoot" and the photo shoot was $300.00. The head shots were $200.00 and that is what I needed to complete his file (which that wasn't the end of it). After I looked over my sons photos they were the worst photos I have EVER seen in my LIFE. His head was cut off, ar, and the "photographer" didn't know how to use the cam not do the lighting. Dianne told me that i will get a CD with my sons photos on them. She didn't explain that the photos will be water marked (so I couldn't use them). I then order my $200.00 head shots that were PAPER! The head shot of my son his head was cut off and his arm was cut off. I called and spoke to a guy named "Red" which is not even his real name. He told me that there is nothing that they could do for me unless I BUY ANOTHER photo shoot and BUY more head shots. I made a trip up to Modeling Placement the other day and Dianne was RUDE told me she doesn't want to rrepresent my son anymore (all because I wanted the pictures that I paid for and different head shot). Dianne shut the door in my FACE and then a min later walked back in trying to talk to me. She was "late for a meeting" and she had to go. She then left again. After I asked one last time am I getting my photos or different head shot and they all responded no. I told them I wanted the number to the corporate office. They the responded with I do not know the address nor the number but I have their e-mail. The email that they gave me was [email protected] which is NOT a corporate e-mail address. I googled it for corporate and there is NO CORPORATE! I am in the process of going to the media, new station, newspaper, and they will hear from my layer. Oh by the way...I recoded the entire convo between Dianne and I so I hope she does try to say that it neve4r happened. I am smarter than i look.
