Modeling Scam?



I was asked to model for Barbizon Modeling Agency and asked to pay an amount for training. Is this a scam or an opportunity?

It's a SCHOOL not an agency!!
Scam. If you have watched ANY of the talk shows on modeling agencies, they all say that a true, modeling agency will pay for everything, your photos, your training, everything.

If they ask you to pay money, they are selling you something..... not selling you.

If you are interested in modeling, why don't you just go to Ford or Elite for an interview? Do you realize that they will see ANYONE off the street and you don't need a portfolio?
Barbizon is actually a genuine modeling agency. It's the classes where they teach you modeling etiquette that they charge for. Don't be scared, theres nothing to worry about with them, I know a lot of people who went through Barbizon and are successful now. =]
In my opinion if you have to pay for them to represent you then you should try somewhere else. Not saying anything is wrong with the place just look around don't settle check out different agency and see what each has to offer and make a decision. There are other agencies where you don't have to pay and still get a opportunity. Get more information on them and make sure they are legit and if they are just go with what you think is best just have a back up agency just in case
