Starbiz Modeling Ripoff company that scams and takes people's hard earned money Scottsdale Arizona
I am a hardworking student, and single mom of four beautiful children. I also had just moved to the Arizona area, when I encountered Starbizz. They promoted their company through ligitimate radio stations. This is what made me trust them. I figured if the radio stations are airing them, it has to be true. They asked for young, beautiful talent to be in television commercials and possibly T.V. I felt that my two daughters fit the criteria.
When I drove up to the building with my two daughters, it seemed fine. They were very nice, and professional in the reception area. We got interviewed for the both of them by Mellette. We got told they would call back if one or both could be used. Of course we got a call back. My oldest got in. Mellette said that they really,really wanted her, and set up an appointment for the next day.
I drove the hour it takes to get there to find out that it was going to cost me $685.00 to get her in. I felt embarrased and continued on, I don't know why. Mellete explained that this would cover all the costs for prommotion. She also said that as beautiful as my daughter was she was going to make me a lot of money.
This made me feel weird but I proceeded with this game! I beleived her when she told me that I would not even miss the $685.00, because it was for my daughter's modeling future. I did miss the money. She told me I had to buy the Baby Marketing Package that included photo shoot, promotional CD, and a commercial for her modeling exposure. My daughter got one shoot of 24 pictures, 8 pamphlets with one picture of her in it, she never shot her commercial, and we have not heard or gotten any job offers!! Don't fall victim to this!! Bruce Romberg is rude, greedy and has a very cold heart to be taking money from the working lower class to support his high class taste, shame on you!!
