Riz -Icon Model Management *BEWARE ****Okay this is going to be a long review , I strongly do not trust this agency and you shouldn’t either it’s is nothing but a SCAM for money !!!. I sent in my measurements got contacted and went to a interview with RIZ apparently he is the owner of the agency . Here’s my story I’ll be putting other stories below . I went in for my interview it was supposed to be at 3 I didn’t end up going into his office till 4! When I met Riz he was nice and professional but the red flags were he didn’t ask me to take off my winter coat he didn’t measure me he didn’t ask me to stand on a scale he just jumped to having me sign a contract and giving him a payment of 700$ 350$ for a test shoot hair and makeup would be provided which made sense and wasn’t a problem for me but then told me I also had to pay 350$ for my comp cards what my mom was questioning was why would I pay for comp cards if we don’t even know if he’s going to like the photos from the test shoot ? I spent 1 hour trying to dig up as many bad reviews as possible after a hour I found sooo many people that were in my same situation but actually gave them money ( I haven’t given a payment to them yet and i will not be !) apparently RIZ has changed his name and last name many times and that’s a red flag to me the paragraphs below are going to be reviews I’m coping and pasting ! If you don’t want to lose 700$ I highly suggest not signing with them ! Toronto Ontario
