izzy i paid urban angels my £40 once she'd been offered a contract, i didn't pay to go on the photo shoot.
found another scamming agency www.hiddenfaces.tv
the website looks great and it's suposidly based at or near pinewood studios it looks like the ideal agency for commercials,tv and film but they charge around £149 which made me a bit weary i checked them out and i came across loads of bad write up's about them (just goes to show you can't judge an agency by there website.) they also stated that there are so many con agencies out there, they reckon that no repitble agency needs to advertise for models so never go with an agency that advertises, also they reckon regarding charges that no good agency will charge for your child to be assesed so if they do avoid like the plage, also no good agency will charge for photo's to be taken again avoid. companies are aloud to charge a fee( i guess for website) but not a joining fee. they state that as long as the charge is a small reasonable amount this is aloud. there advice was go with a agency that you know advertising companies use and you can find this out by phoning up a company hq and ask to speak to the advertising manager and ask them which agencies they use or you can go on there web site and ask the question through contact button. after reading this i felt very uneasy about this whole agency thing, i guess the only sencible thing is to stay well clear of any agency we know nothing about even if the website looks great.
