Is Page Parkes Center of Modeling and acting a scam?

Question

I would love to be come a model, but I don't have the time or money to be ripped off. I need to know if they are real.

Answer 1

NO! Page Parkes is not a scam! Yes it is a little expensive but it's worth it! My friends and I decided to do it, and we got featured in a few commercials that actually aired on TV!

[pepto bismol, mccdonalds, kohls] It was so cool!

Answer 2

Answer 3

I'm guessing your in Houston TX (or around the area) since Page Parkes seems to do most of it's scouting around there.

Page Parkes is no different than Barbizon, JRP, Millie Lewis, Cassablancas or any of the other modeling schools out there.  They want to sell you classes - not becuase they're interested in your talent but becuase they want your money.

I've been in the industry for 8 years now and I've not met a single model who's been taken by these kinds of companies who felt the overly inflated prices they paid were worthwhile in the end.  Save your money, pass on these guys and find good reputable people to work with instead.

Any company passing as an agency who wants money up front for anything is a scam.  If you're interested in modeling and really would like to get started visit OneModelPlace.com - it's a huge online community for the industry.  You can network, find photographers in your area (some of which will help you build a portfolio for free) and depending on your area you may even find jobs there.  Best of all, for models, it's free to join.  As with anything on internet, DO YOUR RESEARCH!  Check references before working with anyone and always bring someone with you to any shoot.
