*Consumer Comment: Mr. Aivis Svirskis is detained by Vilnius, Lithuania police due to fraud in Vilnius hotels. Lithuania
They promised to supply me with a contract for work in nude modeling. They charged me $250 for the membership. After they received the funds, I received an email message confirming the receipt of the money, and also the first project that I was approved for, the message also included flight information for my travel arrangements.
I was told that I would receive the airline tickets via UPS, but I never received a message confirming the shipment with the tracking number. I had no way of knowing if the package had been sent. I sent various emails for days, but I never got a response. Several days went by, and I never received anything. I was quite baffled that I continued to receive emails from the company, including messages from the owner(Aivis Svirskis)and the CEO(Marck Macheras)even after they received the funds.
Since I had no phone and the place is located in Amsterdam in The Netherlands, I basically had no way of calling. I was given the personal cell phone number for Owner (Aivis Svirskis)which is: 011 372 5815800, but when I dialed it there was no answer. They refused to reply to any of my email messages so I have no way of getting my money back. I would like for others to see this and not fall prey to these scam artists. Hopefully others will think twice before paying for services before they have been rendered.

It seems the Mr. Aivis Svirskis has changed the name of the company yet again. They are now doing business as: "Male Top Model Management, IBC" This is obviously the same manipulative scheme ripoff plot which is nothing but a LIE!! Do not respond to any messages from Aivis Svirskis regardless of what his company's name is and/or how legitimate the opportunity sounds. Aivis is a ripoff con-artist and has attempted to ripoff others besides myself. Always search this site and Google.com to find all kinds of reports in regards to this person. Investigate all offers of modeling opportunities fully, and DO NOT SEND MONEY to any company that is not Based here in the US and is not registered with the Better Business Bureau. REMEMBER, no legitimate modeling company will require you to pay a fee up-front for anything. Legitimate Modeling Companies charge a percentage which is deducted from your paycheck once an assignment has been completed and not before.

This company has recently relocated to London and has changed their name from "Promotional Video Production, Ltd." to "Elite Models Management, Ltd." Aivis Svirskis is still the Owner, he did not change his name, but Marck Macheras did change his name to Mr. Martins and is now the Client Manager. Others who are also participating in this ripoff scheme is: Mr. Stevenson-President, Ms. Brown-Casting Manager, and someone by the name of John Stribling. So please be aware and be advised, especially gay/straight/bi men who are contacted by these rip-off con-artists. Their new address is: 123 -127, High Road, London, UK NW6 4HY and their new websites are: [deleted] http://www.musclecult.com

Correction on Name of company

I had wanted to make a correction on the name of the company. I had typed Promotional Video Promotions, but the actual name of the company is: PROMOTIONAL VIDEO PRODUCTIONS, LTD. Also on the actual report I had said that I didn't have a phone, what I meant to say is, that I did not have a legitimate phone number for the company, all I had was a cell phone number, and when I called it, there was no answer. One more thing, their company is located in Amsterdam in The Netherlands. They had contacted me originally through a personal profile that I have on one of the online dating sites and thats how I was suckered in to their manipulative scheme. So everyone (especially guys)beware.
