Answer 1

For one thing, the modeling industry is located in New York City! Not in most cities in the USA.

JRP is a scam. Go to bbb.org and type the name:John Robert Powers.

JRP is not a real modeling agency. Legitimate modeling agencies pay the model.

Legitimate modeling agencies, get paid when the model makes money.

Scam alert! John Robert Powers has not been a reputable since the 1960s. It is now, more or less a scam, that takes money from "starry-eyed," young girls that have no ability to ever work as a professional model or actor. It is not a school to study acting. It is not a school you can put on an acting resume, unless you want to be laughed at. Try to find a real acting school in your city. Call the community colleges and professional theaters in your city and ask for recommendations on acting teachers and acting schools. STAY AWAY from JRP. You can check their history at:bbb.org

JRP is "surviving," on the reputation of the original owner John Robert Powers. In his day, he had the top New York City modeling agency. He is dead, and, I think JRP is a franchise.

Get out while you can. They will charge you $3,000.00, which will mean absolutely ZERO in the modeling and acting business. Contact the: Better Business Bureau: to see if there is a complaint about them, in the city where you live: bbb.org.

Answer 2

Well first of all learn to type,, i cant figure out most of what you said. and second of all don't even consider giving someone a bunch of money until you are sure they are on the up and up.

Answer 3

Yes that is certainly a scam! Good thing you asked! Always be wary when ANY agency asks for money upfront.
