So where can I start off with this company. You may be approached or see an ad in careerbuilder.com for Acting, modeling, extras needed, apply today! I called this company and they told me they have an opening slot immediately to come in for an interview to see if i'm good enough to become a model. So I walk in their cheap office which has many branches all over and was asked to fill out an application and received an interview. I cannot believe how much B.S. I was fed from the 'agent' on how i'd make the perfect model, and I have the perfect body and looks. They'll tell you that you'll start off with smaller projects making anywhere from 250-$1000 a day. Worse of all they'll tell you they have a professional photography company they know of and they charge 'only' $1200. Well, turns out they'll rush you to sign a paper and tell you this guy they use is VERY busy and only has time on Monday's and Tuesday's otherwise you're out of luck and may have to wait weeks.

Then they say they have no relation with the photographer, which they do, infact it's their own photographer who probably makes 10-15 bucks an hour. They will tell you they will make sure you look good, use make up artists, and the photography is at it's best. Well once you pay them, they will rush you in a 30-45 minute shoot with a bunch of cheap photos without them telling you to do this or that, and get you out the door as fast as possible. They will basically accept anyone who pays them the $1200 and then they hardly know you after that. They refused to retake any photos even though they said if the photos are bad they will retake them. This I would call is a legit Scam and can't believe this company has not been shut down for doing this to people. I have sent 2 other friends that are not model material to this agency and they told them they are accepted, but obviously they didn't sign up. Good modeling agencies will NOT charge you any fees up front. STAY AWAY FROM URBAN, they will lie and say that they never promised or guranteed anything to get way with it. None of their agents are even real or licensed, and they will not send you to a professional studio to take any pictures, they take it in their cheap office with their cheap equipment.
