  Yes Yes... i had been Conned... But i noe smthing was fishy also. I asked them how come u don't pay for potential models and then when their first freelance project u deduct from their salary.
  
  So the lady says, yeah last time we used to do it. But the model later say cant take part in Bridal Shot coz GF angry. Or some students will say cant as my exam is approaching. Or cant go for bikini shots as my Parents dont agree..
  
  All this happens after the angencies paid full their subscrition fees. If u hw u feel? u pay 450 for a person at last the person say, mother don't allow this kinda job. Du lan~ rite?

  not really con.
  coz you had a choice and you choice to take it up. i believe you know that before they take u up, the have to take a portfolio of you to allow customers to view it. you can take it as a very expensive makeover.
  and you sure knew that the portfolio is for customers to chose
  therefore, the give you a chance for modelling. but you must know where you are, whether customers of that agency would pick you from the hundreds of models that have.
  therefore only if you have confident that you'll be chose , then accept the deal.
  
  i myself have been approached and i did give them no. coz i know some of the surveyors can get comission by taking as many no.s as possible. therefore, i decided to help . when they call, i'll just say that i am not interested. the worsyt thing is, some even scolded me saying that if not interested don't give no.!!!!

  i kana approach also. They say i got excellant features like of takeshi kaneshiro(jinchenwu). Of coz i started to fly liao. Give them my hp no.
  
  Next day they called me up for an interview. Since the happy effect over liao, my brain tell me something not right so rejected it. So people my advice is this always give time for youself to think about it don't rush.
  
  btw the company is *M*PTELTD. * is censored. Located in Park Mall.

  To cut story short i went the that office in douby gaut and had a interviewed.
  
  I paid 450 for 36 shots, 12 on casual 12 on formal and 12 on "cant remember"
  (Not done yet) (DOing this Sat)
  
  The system works where by i compiled a port folio of myself. Whenever any company needs any models for their ads, magazine shots, TV commercials. They will went throught all the models port folios and choose. 1 Free lance proj is $100 to $1000.
  
  All my friends say i shld not believe them...
  
  Had i been conned?
  
  

  look at yourself in the mirror and if u find that u are handsome enought that u aren't getting conned

  Yeap. Create Talents. They're damn irritating. Refused them and they keep calling.

  People should be vigilant that such Con-jobs exist and the worse part is that they are not breaking the law.
  
  They are just exploiting the public's ignorance and flatter them first.
  
  At least they are taking pictures.
  
  I have known some to be more than just modelling..
  
  they first take few pictures of you FREE, then pay you some money.. you think it is good money.. then ask you to show more skin... and the story goes on....
