Avoiding Scam Agencies
The way modeling agencies make their money is through finding you work and taking a percentage of what you earn.
Things to look out for when spotting a phoney agency:
You should not be asked to pay an agency any more than a small one off administration or marketing charge.
Agencies that have no address or phone number should be avoided
If you are under the age of 18, always have an adult accompany you
Thoroughly read and understand its contents first and establishing that they are a legitimate agency.
If an agency tells you that you need a portfolio
Scouted On The Streets
Scouted On The Streets
Many cowboy agencies will send out staff to scout models in the street that they think have potential for fashion modelling. They can often approach you outside top retail outlets and ask if you have modelled before. They will take a photo of you and hand you over details about their so called agency, and say that they can find you work or have a specific job for you. They are generally not a legitimate agency and will never find you any work but they will try and convince you to part with money to either sign with their agency or to produce expensive images which they then wont promote you with.
