Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
This fake company, TMT Talent, post ads on craigslist for Models. Claiming they will choose a few models to be the next Baby Phat Models. This entire ad is a SCAM!!! There is no Modelig Job, Baby Phat is not seeking Models through craigslist or in Nevada. They just want money!! Thousdans of girls pay 20.00 they have made their money, then on to the next Craigslist scam!

When the Models send in their photos, Everyone that send in a photo will receive an email saying Congradulations! You have been chosen. In order to get your career going you must first pay a registration fee of 19.99.

When you refuse to pay or fall for the scam, they continue to send emails. The latest email I received is this,

Dear Haze,

trade wear ([email protected]) would like to be paid through PayPal.

Also in the email you displayed from us, it even said in the email these things: ---------------------------- * This Submission does not mean you are hired by Baby Phat but does mean you have you foot in the door. * All models are ultimately chosen by a Baby Phat Rep. to get hired . * Before payment please read a copy of company/online terms and agreements * After payment and after you send our contract back we will send you a welcome package delivered to you by postal mail. ----------------- But that was never mentioned in any of your complaints. So how can you call us a scam! WE ARE NOT TRYING TO GET OVER ON ANYBODY ! I think we clearly stated that. ALSO TO ANSWER ANOTHER QUESTION. THE COMPLAINT SAID THAT WE CHARGE TO HIRE YOU WITH THE COMPANY. ANSWER : No that was never said. actualy in our new terms it clearly says. (If Hired By Any Third Party Company We Will Fully Refund All Monies Paid To Tm Talent Group.) Tm Talent Group

Hello everybody once again we have people giving you wrong info. Here is the fact. you can submit your self to any company you want but when it comes down to it they only talk to your laywer or agent. Here at Tm Talent we are not just a online submission company but management for your career. The submissions to the Urban Clothing Lines are a plus of what you will get when you join our membership. That is free ! anybody can submit to some of theses places but when it boils down to business you will need some type of representation. We will provide a lawyer- a manager- 6 months of our online castings plus a retouch of your photos and a written press kit all included in a legal contract. All for one fee of 19.99. I don't know if this person above read what we replied back or not. but it clearly states everything i just said. Far as the Law We have contacted them to clear things up ! So that is not scaring us- our lawyers have made sure there is nothing illegally done here ! Far as to our customers we are sorry for the inconvenience this has caused. We will continue to fight to the best of all talent at a Low Low Price ALWAYS ! I mean where else will you get: 1. Online castings for 6 mo's 2. A manager 3. A lawyer 4. Press kit rebuilt 5. A chance to get on our promo! 6. Submitted to major labels and clothing lines FREE ! 7. A company specifically for urban talent ! All in one-just for one low fee! Now where Most company's just give you the info where the casting is for a payment every month. JUST TO CLEAR THINGS UP WE HAD TO CHANGE THEY REASONS OF PAYMENT TO OUR COMPANY -IT WAS NOT PROPERLY ADDRESSED BY OUR EDITORIAL STAFF. THE PAYMENT IS FOR MEMBERSHIP NOT FOR A ACTUAL SUBMISSION. WE DO THAT FREE WHEN YOU BECOME A MEMBER. ONCE AGAIN SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE TO ALL OF OUR SUBSCRIBERS AND CUSTOMERS! HAVE A BLESSED DAY ! OWNER- PHILLIP HALL

Alright people, here is the email that we received from TM Talent Group Dear Haze talent, For some time you have remaine anonymus to us ,Maybe the whole reason to contact us and send bad messages through the wire was for you or your companies benefit, you have never called to ask what we do our how we do it. Now for you to put our direct information on rip-off report was very unprofesshional. To me you are just a sorry person that doesn't want to pay to get anywhere. I saw one of your reports about explore talent also(which sounds like some body hatting). The whole thing what gets me is that how do you know where a scam even might be at .You must sit on you pathetic computer and look for things to talk about. You must be a non working company out here in Las Vegas or just can't get no work period. You say you been in the industry for how long every since a kid huh. well tell me something. how many times as a kid did you have to pay to get where you needed to go like gas expenses ,print of your paper work, your pics to be done ect. Many i bet because your probably a very hard to work with person . You seem very jealous - and in competition and Tm Talent Group would not get caught dead working with you. Hear is the thing ladies and gents since i know this might go on rip off report also. What we do is prepare the talent for delivery. This means things like press kit, pics retouched,and access to our on line data base for 6 months and have many satisfied customers . The Baby Phat Casting call was to present the models to the company anybody that wasn't worthy of management or our representation was not emailed. So we don't email everybody that has a pic.Only Ones That Have a Talent That Sticks out.!! Tm Talent Group ---------------------------------------------------------------------- LOL!!!!! About your responce, Jealousy! you contacted us, we saw you for what you are! Jealous of WHAT! only a ignorant person would make a statement like that to cover the THRUTH!!! Talent that is "worthy" have there package together already, right? that is a contridiction. WHAT IS YOUR AUDITION PROCESS TO SEE "Only Ones That Have a Talent That Sticks out.!!" this is so sad! I will be sure to send your email to all the CEO''s at these companies and to all the proper athorities!! Federal Bureau of Investigations (THIS IS WHO YOU WILL BE TALKING TO VERY SOON) Why would anyone want to work with you! Yes you have to pay to get pictures and such, before coming to castings, once you tell the talent that they are cast/hired, no one make them pay but people like you, John Robert Powers, Barbizon, All these scams are under investigation! SAVE IT! You are sounding ignorant. Those days are over. YOUR CASTING IS CONSIDERED FALSE ADVERTISMENT! THIS IS NOT ABOUT JELOUSY! THAT IS SO CHILDISH, THIS IS ABOUT YOU SCAMMING TALENT!!!! This is an investigation started By many, not just one person. If you are so concerned than stop scamming talent! You have no clue what is in store for you, this is a new day. Aspiring models, actors, and entertainers are tired of being SCAMMED and are taking action. OK here is a question, Why is it that you are asking Models/Talent for a fee to be hired as a model without ever meeting them, why is it that you send that email out to everyone claiming that they have been chosen, but now they must pay to go to the next level, why is there a fee, there is no charge for talent to be hired by other jobs, ARE YOU SERIOUS??!!! THIS IS THE OLDEST SCAM IN THE BOOK OF SCAMS IN THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY!! READ SAG RULES!!! You can say what you want but you know that what you are doing is a straight out SCAM and it is WRONG!!!!!!! So please don't give us that sad email, because sometimes things get back to professionals in this business that are very well connected. What is so amazing is that we are connected to some of the same companies that you are pretending to hire Models for!! WE COULD CARE LESS ABOUT YOUR EMAIL, IN FACT IT PROVES THAT ALL THE PEOPLE THAT COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS SO-CALLED TM TALENT ARE TELLING THE TRUTH! IT IS JUST PLAIN WRONG!!!!! WE WILL PUT A STOP TO PEOPLE LIKE YOU! AND YES WE DO KNOW WHAT YOUR COMPANY IS ABOUT BY SOME OF YOUR OWN! THINK ON THAT ONE. YOU MUST KNOW THAT THE REASON RIP OFF REPORT IS THERE IS BECAUSE OF PEOPLE LIKE YOU THAT ARE RIPPING OFF PEOPLE LIKE ALL OF THE TALENT THAT HAVE HOPES AND DREAMS AND TRYING TO MAKE IT IN THIS BUSINESS! YOU ARE JUST ANOTHER ONE OF THE SHARKS THAT ARE SWIMMING AROUND THE CORE OF THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY! TRUTH HURTS, NOW WAIT UNTIL YOU SEE MORE TRUTH BE REVEALED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have you ever thought that a lot of your submissions were done by a team of people that were investigating YOU!!!!! After receiving so many complaints. People are tired and are joining together to put a stop to the scams. Use your brain next time and stop being so desperate! I am done with you, it is now out of my hands!

FIRST OF ALL, FOR YOU TO SAY THAT WERE A FRAUD IS RIDICULOUS!!! I THINK THIS IS A CASE OF PURE JEALOUSY AND COMPETITION. OUR COMPANY IS LEGIT BEING THAT OUR COMPANY HAVE SOME OF THE MAJOR COMPANIES IN THE ENTERTAINMENT FIELD HOW CAN YOU SAY WE ARE A FRAUD? YES, WE DO CHARGE THE 19.99 FEE TO SEND FULL MODEL PACKAGES OUT TO THESE COMPANIES, WHICH INCLUDES; REBUILDING OF THEIR RESUMES, A FULL PRESS KIT OF THE MODEL TO THE COMPANIES. SO HOW CAN YOU SAY WE A FRAUD? I THINK THATS WORTH AT LEAST 19.99? ITS NOT LIKE WE CHARGING HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO MODELS, JUST A SMALL FEE FOR OUR SERVICES SO THAT THEY CAN LOOK PROFESSIONAL TO THESE COMPANIES. SO TO ALL THE HATERS OUT THERE YOU NEED TO STOP HATING AND FOCUS ON YOUR JOB NOT MINES.
