Modeling Scams

DEAL WITH THE OFFENDING COMPANY

If you feel you are the victim of a modeling scam, the first thing you should try to do is deal directly with the person responsible, the company, or a leader of the company.

If you paid for modeling photos, for example, but you found the quality unacceptable, you may want to ask for a second opinion from a professional photographer, ask for a refund, or demand another photo shoot.

At the same time, conduct your own research online, searching for consumer complaints in public forums, and review the files of the Better Business Bureau, to see if what you experienced is similar to a pattern of abuse, and what many people call a modeling scam.

If all reasonable efforts to get what you paid for are resisted or ignored, or you get the run around, and you cannot get your money refunded, there are other options.
