Dear Readers,
I applied for an interview with One Source Talent. The next day they contacted me stating that they would like me to come in for an interview. I was so excited not knowing that this was a piece of crap.
I came in looking as professional as I could. The girl ms. billan sanabel called me into her office. She had a strapless dress on with high heels and her boobs were coming out the dress. She was very unprofessional and my mom didn't like how she was talking to us. She claimed that one source talent was one of the largest modeling agencies in the states and that it is expanding on a fast pates. She told us that they were opening offices all over and she herlsef was gonna be the director of one of them considering that she was one of the best modeling recruiters.
In the end the girl gave us a registration form to fill out and then we had to go squeeze into a room with like hundred people in there. We all tried to look as best as we could. A man started calling our names and he told us to stand outside a room to take my photo. First of all they need something called a "professional camera" . They took my picture and then i had to go back into that room with a television and a man standing in the middle of the room with some photos of successful people. Aw Diamond White this Diamond White That.
the lady sanabel started to sort out one after the other telling us that we were required to pay a $600 fee. No one told us about that fee before! My mom became angry and asked why they didn't mention that before. Sanabel was very nice at that moment and promised that the money will be going towards my professional photoshooting. We paid the fee and we never heard from Sanabel again. We have been trying to reach out to her desperately but have been unable to do so. This billan sanabel is very well aware of her scaming business and my mom has been trying to figure out if she should report her to the BBB.
Be aware of this agency. I have heard many stories about them. I don't know what happens once you pay the required fee but I can tell you for sure that a professional agency doesn't hire little girls straight out of high school that pretend to be prima donnas prancing around half naked. Don't let other people scam you out! It is not worth it! I hope this doesn't happen to ayone.
DID ANYONE EXPERIENCE THE SAME?
just so everyone is clear out there...i moved to toronto in pursuit of a modeling career. i heard about M Models and Talent from a website. i applied an a few days later i got a call for an interview. now when i went in there they gave me the talk about what they were looking for blaa blaa...told me they would call me after discussing if i was accepted. then next day i got a call back. i was super excited and couldnt wait to get there. when i did arrive the agent told me i was in but i would have to get my comp cards...yes expensive! now heres where it gets interesting...they happen to be hiring for a receptionist at the same time. i applied for that after my photo shoot an after i already paid 600 bucks...stupid me! i just so happened to get the job for receptionist though. i started shortly after that. now because i worked for them i was expecting to get my money back for the comp cards. that never happened. so when ppl say their scammers...i can relate because after working there and seeing how many people pay that kind of money for those cards it had me thinking...but listen when i say this...while working there i booked soooooo many people for auditions it was unbelievable! and many people got work threw them! so to answer questions yes they rip you off but not their not fraud. it isnt up too them who gets work its up to the casting directors/ producers, whoever actually wants the model. the only thing i can blame m models for is probably not signing the best people because they will except anyone thats willing to pay.
Audrey,
Thank you for sharing. Fraud is the only product they 'sell'. never heard of any modeling success from One Source Talent!
Thsi agency is a clear case of FRAUD!
