General Comments

We saw the West 1 promotion for work in modelling, catwalk, catalogue work, and TV extra work etc. advertised in a local paper. We went along to be told that we would receive a free photo shoot and test shot. My daughter and I waited 2 hours to be interviewed by a talent agent. My daughter had a Polaroid photo taken against a normal wall, and was then told she had potential to be a top model. In return for this 1 minute advice, we were told that if I wanted to pursue this career for her we had to pay £179, which included 6 'free' photographs, admin charges, and for her details to be sent to a modelling agency! I was horrified.

    Hi everyone, I was also conned by West 1 promotions, but I'd say all in all my experiences with agencies has'nt been great thus far anyhow, so no change there then. Like everyone, I really wanted to believe that West 1 would help or at least open the door of opportunity to me. My story with West 1 is depressingly familiar and I found my ad in a reputable paper. I am currently assisting the DTI in getting some measure of justice for everyone who's has been duped so I'll choose words about those west 1 people carefuly. Though I stlll think Regardez sounds like a cheap mail order catalogue service. I would say that the most important thing is to remain positive in spite of whats happened. There's no reason why you should'nt realise your dream. Just don't let West 1, Regardez and whom ever pull you down or hurt you so much that you give up. They're not worth it, but you are. I get the idea that show biz is full of sharks as well as angels. I suspect you have to step over a few crooks till you get to your destination. So be aware and keep on moving.
