A talent scout approached my daughter urging her to call for an appointment with Alycia Kaback, so she could be evaluated as a model. My daughter, quite taken with the idea, spoke with Ms. Kaback and was told to come back the next day. That was when she hit my daughter with the bill. A minimum of $500.00 was required. When my daughter said she was hoping to make money first and pay fees out of her first job, Kaback got very impatient and told her you have to spend money to make money--but 500 dollars to include a few photos on a website seemed outrageous. When I e-mailed the office asking whether or not this was a licensed modeling agency and what their policies are, I got a rude almost incoherent response followed by another text which the same woman had sent to someone else in the company, but she had mistakenly sent to me. The text read, "omg deal with this f-----lady" When a company won't tell you anything about themselves and expect you to sign up for a payment plan almost immediately without any photos taken--run the other way! Mothers--don't feed your daughters to these vultures because you wish to believe your daughters will make it into the business. Seek out a reputable modeling agency. Websites of models get hits from perverts--not potential clients.
