Ohio Model and Talent Agency Stone Model and Talent Agency Beware of Scam Garfield Heights, Ohio

Ohio Model and Talent is quite unprofessional and a scam. It is especially egregious that children and young people are taken in by their false impression of connecting with agencies and so-called "training." We paid $360 for a showcase billed as an opportunity to meet and sign-on with top casting directors and ad agencies. The price was supposed to be for fees for these "directors" to fly in, as well as to pay for the event being held at a local Holiday Inn. When we arrived at the Holiday Inn we were told that no such event was scheduled. We called and were informed that it was to be held at the modeling agency building. We could at least have been informed about the change--or rather refunded the difference, given that there was no hotel fee to pay as promised by the school in a letter and face-to-face. Our payment was non-refundable! Also, I had to argue with Diane, the office manager, about getting comp card for my daughter. The cards were promised weeks ago. Many other models had not received theirs also after weeks for haggling. The "training" and promise of getting signed with area clients are also scams No such "connections" or opportunities for signings were presented after the models complete training. This scam is about taking advantage of young, idealistic girls and boys who see a future in modeling or acting. It's simply a means to extract money from parents who wish to give their child a crack at their dreams. The "training" was substandard at best and led to nothing.
