Thanks, the web is www.mlamtc.com

but the question is they have asked for quite a large registration fee and was in question about that...the amount is 2500.00 plus they have to pay for there own travel expenses to go to Orlando and it seems a little off the wall ...

Let me know what ...

Total scam. No lagit agency needs models to pay them. A lagit agency makes money by getting the model work and taking a percent of her work.

Do Doctors, Construction workers, etc have to pay for their jobs? No. Nor do models have to pay to work. Modeling is a JOB - you don't pay to work..you get paid.

It's not a scam, and it's not an agency.  That doesn't mean it's a good idea for her to do it, but can we at least make an attempt to understand what it is?

Scam info about these guys - they are ranked as a scam.

It would be really nice if people could speak from their own knowledge instead of quoting a half-baked muckraker site operated by someone who is not an industry professional.  That site has some good information on it, but also a lot of crap.  Most of the stuff written on model searches and conventions is crap - and it is picked up as "truth" by people who don't know any better.

They're a scam as they're misleading. They run a convention which in many cases some don't consider a scam but bad business. They also run a school so they're no different then Barbizon who works right next to IMTA. Stay away from it-it's junk.
