General Comments

I too have been subject to West 1's Promotions promise of stardom for my 2 children, 1 and 12, I went along to a very popular hotel, after seeing the ad in my local paper. We were seen quite quickly, both my children had a polariod done, then a quick interview, which is when I was told that yes, they were both model material, so that in mind I would have to pay £189.00 for each child, for this they would receive a portfolio, and a guaranteed place with an agency within 3 months. I received the portfolio, and an agency offer on the same day, but (here's the catch) the agency also wanted £149.50 for each child to be included in their books for 3 years. I am very sceptical at this stage, and I'm not quite sure what to do, I think more research needs to be done by us as parents

    Hi,
    I have 4 words for you, if it's not too late - DO NOT DO IT!!!
    I have a 5 year old daughter who has had a photo shoot with a company called Models Unlimited.
    Also told the same rubbish that you have been told.
    After, I got suspicious, I decided to check out their website and found a horrifying truth.
    Models Unlimited were once called West 1 Promotions, and Model Management UK, and West 1 castings, and so on and so on.Have a look at this website;

    www.west1modelmanagementuk.blogspot.com

    The company that asked for a further £150, were they called Rondevous or Regardez??

    The directors behind these companies that call you up are behind West 1 as well.
    I am more worried about what they are doing with the photos of my daughter, more than the £190 that I've inevitably lost.

    Thanks for the valuable info, I have been bombarded with phone calls from hidden talent, telling me that as soon as I send them the £150, my kids will get their first job, as work is already lined up.....so when I asked what kind of work, I was told they couldn't tell me unless I paid to be on the books. I am steering clear, and have learned a hard lesson.
