My son has had an invite from model network for a photo shoot. the is a £50 non-refundable deposit. I have since found a related you-tube video where the poor was asked to sign a contract and monies to the sum of £2500 for a portfolio. just wondered if anybody has heard about this group and is it a scam?

From what I've heard, any 'modelling agency' that charges for portfolio photos is going to be pretty dodgy. Sorry.

Scam.

If doesn't sound right to me.

This article might be worth a read.

Oh yup! I know it well. Have a look at these scam victim reviews from the same company. Do not do it!

Hi my lovely, unfortunately the same exact thing happened to me nearly 2 years ago now. Do you have an updates on your situation? I feel that it may be too late for me to do anything about my situation, I was young and naive they took advantage of my lack of experience. Any further advice would be amazing, thank you 🫶🏽
