Yep. So is their modeling school. It's a way to squeeze lots of money out of the dreams of young people. Hardly any of their graduates go on to work in the field. You're better off taking acting classes at your community college.

Yes. John Robert Powers, John Casablancas, Talent Connetion, IPOP, and Barbizon are all huge scam compaines.

Any agency that promises you work or asks for money up front is a scam.
A reputable agent gets paid only when you do.
No agent can guarentee you work. They really can't even guarentee you an audition.
Bottom line:
If the agency thinks that they can make money representing you, they will represent you and only charge you between 10%-20% of what you make. If you make nothing, they get paid nothing.

Yes, it is one of the great Modeling School scams, not modeling agency!
They will charge you $2,000.00 for FAKE modeling lessons, which one gets for free when accepted by a reputable New York City Modeling Agency.

OMG yes. I was there for about 3 years and they took like 5,000 from us....I was really pissed because I didn't really get my money's worth....IMTA and IPOP aren't that bad however.
