I was a teacher hired by the Pacific Modeling and Acting Academy to teach at the Albuquerque, New Mexico location. I and the other teachers here in New Mexico were taken in by this fraud just like the parents. I am doing everything I can to get the media and our local officials involved in investigating this situation, and trying to get as many parents in communication with each other as possible so that they can take whatever legal action is available to them. A parent in Seattle, Washington has started a blog online to help parents in the different states where this happened get in touch with each other. This blog also has very helpful information and guidance as to what parents should be doing on their own to start legal proceedings, including filing police reports, reports with theAttorney General's office, and the Internet Crime Center. Please see the blog for more detailed information: http://pacificmodelingandacting.blogspot.com/ You are NOT alone - this 'company' went from state to state and hurt a lot of people. Please don't be too discouraged by all of this - and please consider getting in contact with the other parents who have signed up at the blog above - a united front stands a much better chance of success! Best wishes, Debra in New Mexico
