Model Search America READ THE TRUTH- they make NO money from commissions- only your convention fees ripoff abused & mistreated ripoff business from hell New York New York
here's the proof- go to google.com and type in "model search america complaints" and it will link you to this story about MSA suing texas.
they didn't want to be listed as an agency b/c they couldn't charge outrageous fees- so they fought it. THIS PROVES THEY MAKE ALL THEIR MONEY FROM CONVENTION FEES AND NOT FROM COMMISSIONS.
they could care less if you ever get a booking.
MSA SUES TEXAS
It turns out that Model Search America was involved in a lawsuit in Texas. They actually took the Texas Talent Agency Commission to court because Model Search America was being classified as a talent agency in the state of Texas.
At first I thought "who cares if they are classified as a talent agency". Then I looked up the Texas Talent Agency Act...... AHHHH-HAH!!! What I found there put the puzzle together.
As it turns out, under the Talent Agency Act, a talent agency (which is what Model Search America was classified as in Texas) can not charge a registration fee to potential "talent". That just goes to show you that they could not pass up such a huge "Money" market. They actually sued the state of Texas so that they could have theirr precious registration fees!!! Aren't they making enough money off of working models, or is that just an illusion to keep attendance up?

TCT filed this bogus report... I am the Good Scout I feel I need to inform the public of those reports which were filed by TCT in an effort to create a reason to sue ripoffreport. This is just wrong. Now they are making up the story that someone tried to extort a quarter million dollars to take reports down from this site. I wonder if they actually expect people to believe them. JUST SO YOU ALL KNOW, everything I have posted, I either have personal knowledge of, or have confirmed with other employees. These claims/stories that TCTalent is passing around and including in false postings, is an attempted smear campaign against ripoffreport.com. Another interesting bit of information: Several employees remember that about 10-12 months ago, members of our organization left messages with ripoffreport.com to call us at Options Talent. Options wanted to make an arrangement with Ripoff Report, offering to pay them money so they would delete reports about Options Talent and Emodels, because Ripoff Report was getting higher priority on search engines. There are witnesses to this at our company. Who do you think is actually behind this? Yes, JASON HOFFMAN and ALEC DEFRAWY. Jason goes by the name JAY WALLACE now, for some reason. Alec also uses the name BRIAN ENDERSEN. Alec even used an alias when calling Ripoff Report and instructed people at the office that the call was for him if the people from ripoffreport.com had called back. I was told that when the people from Ripoff Report called back they refused any offers made by Alec, but told him that he could file a rebuttal. More to come soon. Keep an eye on these postings. Why am I still here at TCTalent? I have bills to pay, just like anyone else. I sincerely feel I am doing a good thing by trying to bring them down. After all, I'm helping you, hopefully stopping YOU from becoming a potential victim. I feel good about what I am doing now and get a good night sleep. After reading many of the posting by those who were helped by this web site. It motivated to help. I can best help by staying inside and providing information. This is how I must say thank you to the people at this web site. Anonymous for now. P.S. You should also know, that TCT is going nuts trying to figure out the identity of all those who are inside the company who are working against them. Office doors are locked, even when someone goes to the bathroom for only two minutes. They watch everyone and even question why one might be talking with someone outside their department! People work in fear. This is more like n**i Germany or the Soviet Union.
