Is vanity management legitimate? genuine scouter or scam?

Question

Has anyone heard of this modelling company?

I am very wary, as i am by no means modelesque= 5ft

I was 'scouted' today in central london, by a woman who claimed to work for 'vanity management', and was searching for extras for an upcoming film.

She gave me a bussiness card, and took a head shot.

The 'Vanity management' website also looks dodgy!

Answer 1

Hey the same thing happened to me on the Monday.. i got a call from them today. And they said that i was a successful candidate and asked a few questions. im a bit worried as it seems a bit bizzare. have they got in contact with you also?

Answer 2

yeah i got scouted too in oxford st and then rung me and said they would like me to join and that they would have work for me. but that i have to get professional photos taken to show clients on their site and they would pay for the shoot but due to copyright i would have to buy the pics to put on the site or for my own use at £70 each(x4 pics)..it does sound a bit like a scam...so i cancelled the photoshoot and then they contacted me and said i need professional pics to display on their site to clients or else i won't get work...has anyone worked with them or gone to the photoshoot that they arrange...anyone got a login username to their site to see other jobs that they have?
