I am an adolescent and I went to a ModelAndTalentServices for an interview yesterday with an audit. The direct Peter was there. He didn't tell us much about him as what I think of now, people usually tell you how important his role would be for this company and how much he does each and every time. Instead, he showed us the website and in it, there were few people who were shot and saying "book me!" Yet, his company was advertised on a Effin newspaper categorized under "JOBS" BUT! Instead, we had to pay him almost $900 dollars! As soon as he asked how Long I've been here and showed his websites and talked about how you grab booger opportunity like this in a country like this, he started saying "But we charge $799.00 dollars" n he did not tell me the reason why! He then basically brainwashed us to pay $800! Even the old dude jason and the girl looked very suspicious and subtle. they didnt have their proper addres (phone number, director, etc) on their form! it was tricky to know on the spot because it looked fancy and that took away your attention into thinking its profesional. But anyway we paid $400 in adv half. He did not give us time to give a second thought Anouilh it whereas in a real company, they would ask you how we would like to make payment and advance installing dah dah dah. In fact, it was a job search! Not a prostitute search! You u know what I mean? He was very SUBTLE! remember! It's business and if your a young girl especially, they could do anything to you n u know why? Because its modeling and its upto you to be famous. However, i called him a while ago and said my dad won't approve it (cos hes smarter than me and knows more about these ###!), he said he got no time an that its long weekend when in general, its not even effin stArted yet! so, be careful! THIS COMPANY IS EFFIN SCAMM! DON'T TRUST A COMPANY EASILY JUST BECAUSE IT GOT A WEBSITE! PLUS THIS COMPANY IS NOT RATED AGENCY EITHER! I hope the society would act on this! Thank you for your time.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
It's too bad you didn't see the other report Model and Talent Services — Scam before you fell for the trap.
I completely agree with you. This company needs to be shut down. I have zero tolerance for people like Peter who take advantage of young people and "steal" their money.
I was one of his victims - he pretty much took my money and that was it. He did absolutely NOTHING for me.
Can u call me at [protected]
I went to them for one meeting, abd Peter didn't really go in dept as to what he does. The location of the office didn't even look like how a talent or modeling agency should look. Lit looked unorganized. He just pulled up a website that didn't even look well put together. And then asked for $150 right there and then just to register for the website and tried getting me to register even though I told him I didn't have the money on me right there and then (I did the whole thing just looked unorganized so I was cautious about it) and Walter he had accepted the fact that I wasn't ready to pay, just said Well that's all, and classically ended the meeting there and then. So don't go this company it's not legitimate, a legitimate modeling or talent agency doesn't recruit. If anyone company tries recruiting, it's a scam. Be cautious of it.
I got scammed by Peter for $150.00 in 2014. I'm going to call him on Monday & demand that he give me my money back & if he refuses, I'll make him an offer he can't refuse.
Same Peter Karel Holub, out of jail and back at it:
