Well I Just Made It Through The First Round And Have My PhotoShoot Soon.! My Fashion Show Is On The 4th, Im Really Hoping This Is Not A Scam, I am 12 And Want To Know If I Should Proceed With Paying For My Pictures And Things.?

@ Jet_jet
They offered me an internship too and told me to show up the next day dressing business casual. I did, and everything they had me do was help them out at the fashion show they were having. This lady "the big boss" or Triny just had me running errands and getting them food. I didn't come back after the show was done because this is not what I expected.
Did your internship job was better? Or maybe I should have stayed after the show for more instructions =/

I agree. I took both my daughters through the process. Yes, I did pay for their pictures, but the pictures came out GREAT and it was such a positive experience for them both. Plus I just got notified today that BOTH of my daughters were awarded one year contracts. I guess they each had the look the agency was looking for. My kids are 16 and 10.

Iv entered the contest too and am researching to see if it really is a scam. so what i want to kno is how is the contract goin? i mean are they booking your child any jobs, and is she getting paid for them?

I participated in the competition and had a blast! Yes, it costs, but that's only to pay for necessities. And it's not even that much! They have payment plans and will try to work with you for your benefit. They even offered me an internship and I can honestly say that I have no regrets. They're in it for the actual benefit of others to seek out hidden talent, NOT to scam people or con them out of money. If there was any kind of mix up, I'm sure they didn't mean it and would try to fix it.

ok if this was not a scam for u.. can u maybe explain to me why they did not show up for my brothers photo shoot today? or why another lady had gotten rescheduled for the same thing and then got shut out again? That doesnt sound suspicious at all?

Help us fight junk email kindly remove this msg coz i cant use my a/c.

the person above called this company American Mall Model Search, Audition America...hahahahahaha...that is the name they changed it to because they had so many complaints and bad reviews on the internet...please know that many of these positive reviews are from people who work for the company...after all how many people call others "my dear"...this company American Mall Model Search now known as Audition America is a SCAM!...please do your research...a good website to check out is bizparentz.org...it is run by parents that have children in the business and is full of useful information including information about scams like this one run by "scouts"...

if the company is so horrible and bad contact them confront them in person instead of posting on some website like this and being a ### about it. i mean really people 150 dollars for professional copyrighted photos not a bad deal, i paid more for my senior pictures people. i got called paid the money and was a bit skeptical but who wouldn't be. but its reasonable and no business would be able to operate a scam for 27 years and not get caught yeah it may be a rip off to some people but its not a scam.

Only the fizzyrose has the power to get rid of the dreadful peter brockman. The troll from hell.

well first of all nothing is free my dear and as for the 150.00 for the photos i think that's a good price its not like there taking your picture and not giving you anything my daughter auditioned and was chosen to come back for the photo shoot mind you there were about 13 kids and about 6 got chosen so not everyone is chosen i think audition America helps kids build there self esteem and helps them to be bold and not to be shy so just that alone i think its so worth it...

i was told that to rent the space in the mall and set up the catwalk and use electricity and everything in the mall costed them about 7, 000 dollars and that is where the money from your photoshoot goes to! I have had a very good experience with AMMS they even took 50 dollars of of the 150 because my mom had two photo shoots to pay for..(me and my cousin) im working on my walk and monolouge now! and the final round for me is tomorrow. KG (Kendrick Gordon) is a very good director and gave me very constructive critisizim on the day of my first audition! I LOVE AMMS!

Pictures cost a lot of money they wouldn't just give them to you even if they did think your kid was amazing. Also if there were a bunch of names in the box why would you think you were the only one. Did you ask them if you could use your own modeling pictures instead of theirs? You do need headshots to be a model/actress. Maybe they were rude to you but it doesn't mean that their whole process was "bogus"

This is crazy, they say "no hassle returns" . I have had a cooperate refund before & now is the second time and still NOTHING since Jan 6, 2011!

also i want to inform you that i have blackberry mobile and i added my hotmail account to my mobile and the hotmail account still working on my mobile becuase i do not need to verify my password every transaction so i send mails but by internaet i always got wrong password. please recover my account to me it is urgent.

Dear
my name is jehad hindi i am owner of hotmail account ( jehad_h@hotmail.com ) and i created this account around before 13 years ago and i know all of the old password and name of the folders and contacts but i have a problem it seems some body hacker attacked my account so i want you to solve this problem and if you need any information i will send it to you or if you want to call me my mobile is [protected] ) or give my phone number i will call any way my currint e_mail is ( jehad_hindi@yahoo.com ) please my mail in hotmail very important to me.

WLM locked me out of my email account. Hotmail began bundling and forcing customers to use Windows Live Messenger to log into t accounts. That is what caused many to be blocked out the last six days. Jan. 8, 2012. It is a run around and no contact person is available. I think I will call Microsoft wo complain about WLM that did nothing but add extrasign in screen. Live Messenger closed the accounts. What ever you do do not get an email that requires use of WLM, you'll be sorry.

I have the same problem. Also +10 years account. Really frustratring.
I guess you just have to forget about all your content, contacts, info... leaving @hotmail forever
AND yes: I just opened a @gmail account...
terrible...

I quit Hotmail a loooong time ago.

I recommend Gmail. Google has incredible services and applications and whatnot. I love it and I would never change.

Someone has hacked your account. They have your password. Go in and change your password for your hotmail. You better check any other accounts you have especially bank accounts and change all your passwords

Exactly! You fit under the definition of fraud and deceit. You have intentionally left out and/or misrepresented facts about what you do. "Auditions for the Fashion and Talent show here at the mall start this month! Top models in the talent and fashion show will win a 1 year contract with a top agency or make it to our fashion board." "Win a 1 year contract" that you have to pay for? Or is that just for one person that you know has what it takes and you know will make you some money? The others you charge because you aren't sure if they will make you any money or not; or you know they won't, but you have already been paid, so, it doesn't matter. We hear of TV almost daily, "If you have to pay for something that you have WON, it's a scam." If you have to pay for it, you didn't win it.

It may be in the handbook but it doesn't happen. It's long been an understanding especially for managers that they and everyone else are expected to punch out for "breaks" even when the work load means you can't actually get something to eat. This makes it look like they aren't breaking the law. But the work doesn't stop especially during peak times without customer service complaints so usually associates actually just get a few minutes to grab a smoke or eat something. But managers just keep working off the clock and I know personally I have gone over 7 hours without a bathroom break, much less food. Thank God I don't smoke! In the past, an email was sent that put it in writing that this was being done and that person was discharged soon after. (Not for breaking policy but for putting it in writing, I'm sure) And now, with labor hours cut even further oftentimes only one person (manager) is on per shift working alone so there is now not even a pretense that a break is possible so no one is punching out. They just keep working trying to keep this company going and the customers as happy as possible during very impossible situations. If there is a class action suit, I will be the first to sign up for it and for other wrongful actions done by this company. But since this is another new owner, probably only the current labor issue will stick for now.

"Win or lose, the contestant will get to keep the pictures from the photo shoot, along with the full copyright release to their photos. Anyone who is serious about pursing a modeling career would need everything that The AMMS is providing for a reasonable fee. The AMMS offers a service; contestants pay a fee for the service; the promised service is delivered. "
###. I gave you ###s $150 and I STILL haven't received my photos. When you tell people who have spent $150+ on a service and you don't give them what they have paid for, that's STEALING.

you do realize that AMMS is not a modeling agency...they are scouts FOR talent and modeling agencies...they are merely the middle man...in order for them to do their job they need to see if you qualify in certain areas...your not competing for a spot in a modeling agency, your competing for them to send your portfolio to multiple agencies...i intern for them and have no problem doing it, its easy work and i'm as nice as i can possibly be to anyone who has questions or concerns, we also put everyone through because only the people who actually want to pursue it and think they can make it through the talent show will pay and show off what they got, so just because you had a bad experience doesn't mean that AMMS is a scam, its just that we run differently i guess your just used to something different

I agree with you i mean why would you pay 150.00 just for a picture and your not even sure that your going to win the contest wtf.. i agree AMMS is a scam

The American Mall Model Search is the nations's largest scouting tour, producing models for fashion industry, and promoting talent to the film industry. Founded in 1982, AMMS has over 25 years of experience in discovering new young talent and launching new careers. The AMMS has placed models and actors in top jobs for Runway, Print work, TV and Film. Our winners have been placed with premier agencies like IMG, Ford, Elite, Model Productions, Trump Model Management, and Next Models. Since most new models have no resume' or portfolio, the AMMS provides new talent across the country with the following:

1- A photo shoot, digital portfolio, copyright to all photographs.

2- A fashion show, DVD of performance

3- Talent segment to demonstrate their talent, show off their look, and develop their portfolio, which is required in all castings.

The AMMS makes it abundantly clear that it does not guarantee success for any contestant. In fact, modeling agencies select models based on various criteria such as: whether the model is photogenic; whether he or she shows different emotions; do they have 'the look'?; and the modeling agency's need in the industry at that particular time. The AMMS does not expressly or impliedly indicate that a contestants' performance or participation in the AMMS with result in the award of a contract. In fact, The AMMS clearly states in its Contestant Orientation booklet that:

Only the top 25% of those auditioning in each age category will go on to sign contracts with national agencies. Win or lose, the contestant will get to keep the pictures from the photo shoot, along with the full copyright release to their photos. Anyone who is serious about pursing a modeling career would need everything that The AMMS is providing for a reasonable fee. The AMMS offers a service; contestants pay a fee for the service; the promised service is delivered.

The AMMS prides itself in its work product and the services that are provided. Our public relations and legal department have therefore issued the following statement to clarify any confusion that may arise. Although laws differ from state to state, generally speaking, "Fraud" is defined as follows:

Any act, expression, omission, or concealment calculated to deceive another to his or her disadvantage
;specifically : a misrepresentation or concealment with reference to some fact material to a transaction that is made with knowledge of its falsity or in reckless disregard of its truth or falsity and with the intent to deceive another and that is reasonably relied on by the other who is injured thereby

Fraud misrepresentation means:

an intentionally or sometimes negligently false representation made verbally, by conduct, or sometimes by nondisclosure or concealment and often for the purpose of deceiving, defrauding, or causing another to rely on it detrimentally

"Deceit" is defined as:

deliberate and misleading concealment, false declaration, or artifice

The AMMS does not participate in illegal activity of any sort. If a model contestant is unsuccessful in the search, the result of his or her performance should not be interpreted as an improper business practice on the part of the AMMS.

Guys - not sure about some of these experiences. I did a lot of research - read a lot of this stuff - but decided to give it a go. With all the folks they try out - these complaints are small in %. They are from ones who seem to not check this place out in advance. It seems like this, as with any company, has some employees who are exceptional and some who don't give a damn. We have been VERY lucky to have associated with one of the best directors in AA. My daughter auditioned in March, interned for 2 months, and now has a contract. For those who think that you just expect the jobs to flow to you THINK AGAIN!. You need to seek them out. The company has a website which posts new opportunities on a daily basis. You, as a contract winner, must login and apply to the jobs. Once you start showing serious interest - the bookers will take notice. YOU have to play a part and get off your butts. Also, it's a NON-exclusive contract. This means you can work for ANY agency (using the headshots taken) with anyone you want. As a sidenote - one of the girls who tried out showed us 20 photos she had done at an agency. They billed here $100 per photo. Total = $2000. They were excellent - but compare them to the AA price and it's not even close. Personally, I am very satisfied with the attention my daughter has received. They have done a great job!

This company also goes by Audition America

Do something instead of sitting around on your butt and doing nothing! the "eleventh" commandment: 'THOU SHALT NOT WHINE!"
What's more important, to try and maybe fail, or do nothing and succeed?!?!?

my daughter won the contract also and nothing happened no movies, tv books nothing

I went threw the whole process. They showed up to all my photo shoots && i participated in final show and won the contract. Now i have an audition for a part in an upcoming movie wit adam sandler(: so haters or people who couldnt make it, cry and complain how its a scam. If it was a scan im pretty sure i wouldnt be going to an audition the AMERICAN MALL MODEL SEARCH booked me(:

to a_d88 wherever you did your auditions at, they are obviously very unprofessional, but I intern for this competition in Fl, and we are always at our mall, bright and early, every single day and we never miss a photo shoot. It is sad that your mall has done that to you and your son, but we are very professional at ours, and we have had zero complaints from costumers concerning their pictures.

Unfortunately, you don't and never will have what it takes to be successful because YOU are a stupid, pathetic nothing!

to Dharma19, explain this to me then: My little bro got picked to do the second round, and fashion show, when we show up today for his photo shoot nobody was nowhere to be found, a lady the previous weekend had gotten rescheduled bc they didnt show and did it to her again this weekend. If this wasnt a scam, then why are they avoiding doing the photo shoots?

If this company is giving people a good deal, as described above, how can it be called a scam in the same sentance? Also, you asked for pictures for 150 and now don't want to pay the entire amount, and back out, but they are scamming you mosbecause they expect to be paid the contract price? You stated you changed your mind. I find it terrible that people don't know anything about this company, but call them scammers, which is a serious allegations. The remaining complaints are from people who expect to get photos of themselves taken for free. This company does in fact cast a lot of people in real roles, such as 90210, a recent movie (200 extras), and many, many modeling jobs. I truly believe most of the anger is from people who 1) don't know the upfront cost of building a portfolio and/or 2) are not picked for an actual contract --in my state a very small percentage made it because the rest were not model/acting material. It is open auditions, so you can bring your own portfolio if you are actually a professional model and bypass them creating your package to send to corporate. Yes, they have to make a profit, but as you said, you loved the pics.
They have cast in TV shows such as 90210 and movies, as well as lots of print ad campaigns. Don't diss them because you didn't make the cut or wish you hadn't spent money (which is tax deductible) on tools necessary to the trade. Sensing a lot of negative energy from people who didn't make the cut--oh, my lawyer looked at it and it is a standard modeling agency contract--20% take and they do more than many to book you for jobs. So, where is the scam unless you are trying out for something that you know you will never qualify for. Should they refuse your money in an open audition and say "sorry, we aren't going to take your pics your too ugly". It is also not their decision as corporate chooses all models. I would never go to a talent show with an admission fee and play the piano, for example, because I know nothing about pianos, but if I paid an entry fee to play chopstix, rwho is wrong? Seriously. Not all actors are gorgeous and they scout actors, too, so how are they supposed to know if you are serious about trying out? If you don't want to pay for headshots, don't participate or put your name in a box for them to schedule your try out and then be all holier than thou. They only call people who have expressed an interest. Geez...

They have picked my son among many others first you have 2 pay 50 dollars DOWN paymnent and so on. i wasnt so sure about these guys, i paid the 50 dollars and then backed out. I called the #'s on the bbb and all #s were to the same office. well wat i did so i wouldnt get ripped off anymore, i told them i was moving out of the U.S. in a few days. they were desperately trying to get me 2 pay more money and stay for the second audition. I kept sticking to my story she also got the nerve to get an attitude. In the end I got 15 poses for 50 dollars and loved the pics not all of them were great but it was definately a good deal. Im so glad i got out of that one SCAMMERS! So if u just paid your 50 dollars say, you are moving out of the united states and they will give u the pics. they will NOT give u a refund!

p.s. even if we dont get it, we won't bad mouth the company! and they never promised anything! loved the experience!

i totally agree with you! i had my daughter try out and found them most helpful & willing to talk to me. I had her auditon at another place and they wanted me to pay over two thousand dollars to go to florida and have a chance for her to win cash & prizes. I also tried at John casablancas and they wanted a big down payment plus a monthly pmnt for classes. then i saw this @ the local mall, and took a chance. When they called me, i was excited and so was my daughter. we went for the auditon and there were alot of people (kids) trying out. we went in with the attitude that it was a fun thing to do, I actually paid the $150 for the photos and was very impressed with them. went on to the fashion show, had fun, the people from AMMS were very friendly and helpful. Especially Nick. I don't think if it was a scam he would have taken the time to take a pic with her for her scrapebook or even say hi to us in the mall when we were there just shopping. we loved the experience and would do it again! even my sister got treated nicely and her questions answered. because she missed the photo shoot, they even told her where they would be next so she could bring my niece there. scammers would have been like "oh well!" nothing we can do about it...

hey girl,
i was in this compition in albuquerque. I just got a call last weekend saying that i won. So no it is not a scam and i feel bad for the people that didnt go through with it. Its not a waiste of time. i agree with you if you are serious about being a model you have to go through with it. I now have a one year modeling contract. im excited and im glad you wrote this cause all the other ones were getting me mad.

***that comment was in reguards to the AMMS post***

Hey so i liked what you wrote. anyone that goes off saying EVERYONE who didnt get accepted thinks it's a scam is confused about the real reason people are concerned with the idea of a scam. What really caught my eye was that you said "I haven't made it yet I'm waiting on thee results.." does that mean that you did the runway and repeated your lines, then got chosen, paid to get your pictures taken and NOW you're waiting to be chosen? how does it work? I have been scammed before with jobs and i always hear to run if they ask for your money. But it seems you were a little more open minded then i was and went thru with it. whether or not you make it, i kinda want to hear how you feel after the fact. If you get chosen i wanna hear what it looks like from there. I'm nervous to even take the first step but at least if you make it thru I'll at least know it wasnt a scam, whether or not i pursued it!

This "company" is very shady and the woman we dealt with was dodging my questions when I asked for background information on AMMS. All she said was this was a legitamite christian company..With the begging of my child, we entered the so called auditions. My child "won" the 1st round and we were told to come back for a photo shoot with a professional photographer a week later. We arrived to find a teenager as the "pro"photographer and the pictures did not turn as well as were promised. The 3rd round was the talent portion. AMMS did not preview what the competitors talent had and so we were subjected to lip syncing / a young 10 year girl shking her butt to music and young children to scared to perform.
We're still waiting to see if my child "won " her year contract with this company but we're not holding our breathe! It was a lesson my child needed to learn and its unfortunate that parents are paying $150 for this!

I dropped my 5 yo daughters name in the box a few months ago. Here's the first sign it was a scam 1: They want you to come in immediately with no regard to your schedule or you miss this great opportunity. She called Wednesday for Thursday. 2: They want money for pictures. Any legit agency will front you they money for any headshots you need to get started. They don't get paid until you get paid. 3: They give you no time to gather the money for the pictures even if you wanted to pay it. I had was expected to pay $50 today, $50 tomorrow, and $50 at the time of the runway show. 4: The people that made it weren't cute, everyone made it to the next round, so everyone had to buy pictures.

I let my daughter walk the runway. We sat through most of the results. As soon as I was sure they were taking everyone, we left and got ice cream. It's funny. This just happened today. And while I'm looking them up on this message board, they called me. I'm not giving these people any of my money. I'll take that $150, buy a good camera, and play photo shoot with my daughter in our garden. I can mail out headshots and resumes myself. A real modeling agency really only needs two pictures ladies and gentlemen, a clean head shot and body shot taken with a polaroid by your mama. Ask Tyra Banks.

I feel sorry for those who fell for it and paid the cash. It was worth the trip to the mall to see if my daughter would be comfortable on a cat walk. Now that I know that, I'll move forward on my own.

My son received a call on his cell phone from a lady by the name of Annemarie. She told him she wanted to speak to his mom so he handed to phone to me. Annemarie said she was calling from the American Mall Model Search and my son had been chosen by their agency to audition. She asked me about my son's experience with modeling/acting and I told her he had participated in several plays, he is in the school of the arts in choir and musical theatre. She said they were definitely interested in seeing my son and told me to be at the Santa Rosa Center Mall at 4:15 or 6:15 the very next day. She gave me her phone number and said to let her know if for any reason we couldn't make it. During the conversation she also asked if my son already had a portfolio which I declined. She said that was ok and they would give him a shot anyway. She made it sound as though that was a bad thing, but they were so interested in him to see him no matter what. We then researched American Mall Model Search online and saw all the negative comments and how they push people into buying their photo shoots for $150. I told my son we wouldn't go to Santa Rosa (about 40 miles from my house) and explained the scam to him. Although he was disappointed thinking he may be 'discovered' as a model or actor, he understood what the scam was all about. At around 4 pm on the day we were supposed to go to the mall in Santa Rosa, Annemarie called my son again on his cell phone and asked to speak to me, but I wasn't home. She then told my son she just wanted to remind us of our appointment at 6:15 that night. My son told her we had investigated her company online and we had seen a few 'interesting' articles and we would not be coming to the appointment. Annemarie said to him that it was too bad he felt that way and he was missing out on a real opportunity. She then just hung up the phone on him. She never even asked my son WHAT he had read and why he felt the way he did - she just knew she hadn't gotten yet another sucker to show up and pay for a poor quality photo shoot. If that is not a scam, then what it? I am glad we investigated this scam so we were never put in the situation of being pressured into getting a phony photo shoot. I read that they always want people to come to the audition the next day. This must be one of the many tools they use, because it will give people little time to ask around and investigate and more likely to show up. I hope this story will help some other parents and kids to see the scam before they can be taken advantage of.

I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS IS A SCAM OR NOT BUT THIS WILL HELP YOU DECIDE:
*Me and my sister signed up for it 3 years before we started Barbizon Modeling and we signed up every year. When we finally entered Barbizon they finally took us in. WOW!
*Our modeling director (Whitney C.) said they called up to Barbizon and asked for models! Before you judge her and say that she lied think for a second "why would she make a lie like this?
*On our score card it said we both got 7. Heck No we went to Barbizon we deserve better!
* (this is a winner) To get your foot in the door there will be a fee. Now here me out first! It was a casting! Why would you pay for pictures that you should already have to bring to a casting?
********* I am a well known model/actress in the modeling world and I know how the business works and this is not it!
Basicly I'm just saying take yourself to a real modeling agency or just go get the auditions yourself! :) for questions E-mail me @ aroma230@yahoo.com

well im just letting you know its not a scam im in it and yes you do have to pay money for the photos but it pays off in the end i promise you! im not lieing but it does pay off if he shows the dedication and cometment(?) it well help his career if thats what he chooses

I participated in the competition and had a blast! Yes, it costs, but that's only to pay for necessities. And it's not even that much! They have payment plans and will try to work with you for your benefit. They even offered me an internship and I can honestly say that I have no regrets. They're in it for the actual benefit of others to seek out hidden talent, NOT to scam people or con them out of money.

Hello,
I have worked in fashion for 6 years. This stupid rumor about "if they like you they pay you" is not true and that is what is hurting the industry. If you want to do something you need to invest in yourself and you need to put forth the effort. Its the same way if you want to be a mechanic, or anything you need to buy the tools of the trade.
However regardless, this Model Mall thing is a scam. I asked the woman a few questions and she ripped my head off, and proceeded to tell me, "you are too little for me to speak too" hahahaha. This is after she told me she is a professional photographer with the training she has received from their company. I am a Professional Photographer, with a degree and 6 years of shooting experience, and she told me that experience is all about training, as if someone who started last week can have the skill-set of a seasoned professional. I don't know much about these Model Searches. But I know that if you are looking for a way to get yourself into the industry you should probably contact The It Factor with Alycia Kaback. They care about their talent and they don't rob you of your money. I know Alycia and she is 100% legit, honest and real. Check it out at Http://www.Alyiciakaback.com

Don't always be feigned by people asking for money, you are looking for a service. Yes we all dream of being discovered by an agent at Mcdonalds and being flown to an agency and signed but unfortunately if you want something you have to actually invest in yourself.

I just did it and had no issues and know a few people who have recieved a contract and making contacts and doing model, comercials, etc. I called BBB and they only have complaints on few producers that were not doing their job. one in IL Sid has background back in '72 in tv movies etc and been with this company since '08 and he's in the new movie the delima and Transformers 3. THIS IS NOT A SCAM

What does happen in the final show?

I participated in the competition and had a blast! Yes, it costs, but that's only to pay for necessities. And it's not even that much! They have payment plans and will try to work with you for your benefit. They even offered me an internship and I can honestly say that I have no regrets. They're in it for the actual benefit of others to seek out hidden talent, NOT to scam people or con them out of money. And besides, this is a competition. Do not walk up there expecting to be in a commercial the next day. They want to help but can only do that if they can work with you. Try to understand that they travel all over the place and deal with people every day. They know what they're doing. And like I said, this is a competition. The photo shoot is part of it so of course, you have to participate. There are strict rules and guide lines, which makes it hard for them to accept any kind of portfolio. They prefer to do their own so it's not complicated and everyone is happy. It's not a scam, and I even work with Ashley and Jameel. They are very kind and always ready to help people. Don't get offended and start up a lot of unwanted drama just because you don't like making a small sacrifice for your children's dreams.

It isn't fair for them to tell you you have to purchase their photos. That being said even if a company likes you and thinks you have potential won't give you anything for free, then they would only loose money constantly. If you have pictures already then look up other agencies and try auditioning for them

My poor little girl was in the same boat. She is seven years old and we had an audition earlier tonight. She did really well and thought she was going to get to be in a commercial or catalog photo, but I'm not going to take her to the "next round" tomorrow. I started asking questions when they asked me for the $150. I asked if the $150 was for a portfolio and resume and that I could use MS Word myself to make her resume and I already had head shots. I got a complete runaround as they tried to convince me that their package was the only one accepted by their corporate office in Miami. I also hope other parents don't fall for this but I saw them there tonight handing over their credit cards. Very sad.

They lady that i met to do my audition her name was ashley

See you there,

MMC TEAM

tha car agency who posted complaint against dr akash is a big fraud and a cheater itself. I decxeived me last time but somehow I came out of their grip. Pl beware of such fraud agencies.

This company is a SCAM, no doubt! My daughter was called to be involved with their "fashion" show so we went. They then bring you to the side and want money for photos. I go to write a check and they tell me that I need to make it out to cash. Hmmmm that should have been a red flag there. I go to the "photo Shoot" right on time and there is nobody there to greet you or tell you what is going on. I then get this nasty call from a man named "Todd" upset cause I didn't wait around for these people cause they were stuck in traffic. They continued to call my cell phone all afternoon and harassed me. Very unprofessional!

I am also an inern right now, and no, everyone does not make it through to the finals. I just came home from an internship, and we sent home about 10 people today. Our judge does not allow anyone to progress if she does not see potential in them. Also, no, the internship is not for pay, however, they offer you a free photshoot at the end of the internship, and you can also put the internship on your resume. It looks really good to see that you were interested enough in the industry to work for free, just to gain more knowledge. The fact of the matter is, you will pay for a portfolio if you want to model or act or anything, nothing in life s free. And my photographer is excellent, thank you.

my daughter went to a photo shoot in springfield mo and yes it did cost 150 dollars worth of head shots full body and they look good was it free no nothing in life is free these days you want something you got to go after it but we got the pic no as soon as i was promised but we got them within 2 weeks and yesturday she got a contarct offer scoring a 9 out of 10 with them getting 20% after she is paid no other money is mentioned they offer photo cards you can buy w your name to send out other people but your choice i dont believe you ever worked for this company as intern, or you would know these things i cant wait to see what future my daughter has in the modeling field because of amms way to go shayla daisy logan!

If you had any desire to be successful in show business, YOU would have enough integrity to give it your best!

Are you sure you're not saying just because you didn't make it?

You write that people have to fly to FLA if they win a contract--that is not true. The company comes out to you and answers all of your questions and gives you sixty days to review the contract.
Also, if you have a portfolio and have worked before, you don't need pics from them. It is open call so they will allow anyone to audition. However, only a small percentage in our state won contracts because they do not hand them out to everyone. They were very helpful both before and after the contest and did not twist my arm into buying anything. After I was given a contract, I also was not pushed to buy anything at all from them...the reality of the modeling business is that you need a portfolio. They sell a basic set to have you evaluated which they give you (copyright free--you own them) and then if you become a model they even tell you that you can print your cards anywhere you want. So, I had a very different experience than you. As far as the critical remarks go, they are critical of everyone--it is mean't to also give you constructive criticism so that you can improve. I am delighted with them and can't believe some of the things I have read. Maybe there are different people who act differently at this company, but the corporate office flew out to the state contract winners and everything was very low pressure--they have MORE than enough people who want to work for them. Again, if you have pics and have modeled before, you do not need them to be evaluated. The photos I received were great and professionally done. They also take the standard fee for any work you do and allow you to sign a non-exclusive contract, which is not easy to get these days. I had another agency want me to be exclusive to them, but they were in NYC and it was far from my home. This agency allows you to work for them and other places.

Had basically the same problem, except I paid $300.00 and did get the hard copy photo book. It was crappy work and not at all what was expected. Went back for the talent part. Was given a size two shirt for her to wear, she was 13 months old and weight 16 lbs so it was way to big and could not be cut down enough to look right. What kind of talent does a 13 month old have. She does dance, but not in 45 seconds in front of a crowd of people. I was really stupid and paid an extra 25 dollars for a copy of the performance video. That was in Dec 2011 and still have not received the video. With the photo book, i was supposed to receive a cd of all the pictures and release so I could make prints. Have not received that either. I was basically out 325 dollars for a group of pictures that I could have gotten at Kmart for 15 dollars. Believe me Kmart has better quality pictures.

I plan on doing the same thing...only I'm going to go to the one in NY also..with the news paper.

They don't send hard copies for the $150 package. It is a digital download. visit their website with the user name and password they gave you: www.theamms.com/login.aspx
