I got a modeling contract from them but they ask for a deposit, anyone work for them or hear of them? Are they a scam?

Cadia,


Awww, that brings back some memories. The wish network is a scam that goes back to the beginning of the internet. I'm surprised their still around. I mean hell they were ripping people off before E-models/ Options Talent/ TCT/ Whilimina Scouting Network/ ????? was even a gleam in some con mans eye.

Most message boards have banned them years ago.

There is a photographer in the bay area that has been watching wish and had numerous run-ins with that Ron guy for years. I'm sure he could tell you more than you want to know. his site is http://www.ucphoto.net/wish/ here is his e-mail [email protected].


Wish also claims to be a christian company. Strange as I've never read in the Bible "Tho shall shrill gullible models out of theirst money and cause much heartache with false claims". Hummmm, must of been one of those commandments way in the back.

I love the part where he says if he puts your photo on the internet you now have a tear........ an internet tear...........HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
