Model Agency Scams

Samantha:

How do I know if an agency is trying to scam me before I sign with them? Is there a website to tell you if an agent is legit?

Mr. Agent:

Hi Samantha,

The best way is really pretty simple. Don't pay any money upfront. This will weed out 99% of scams right away. If any agency wants you, there is really no need to pay anything. For your pictures, check out our page on preparing your photo submission for more information.
