Teen Hearts, A Scam?

I know I promised I would talk about Drag down the Regime, the drag show I was in a few weeks ago, but this is more important for all of the other aspiring models to know about. Modeling Scams.

So I recently got my email saying that I've been accepted into the Teen Hearts Clothing Shop's paid modeling program. I got to make a coupon code and everything, and I was excited to work with them. I decided to see when I would be able to get the products so that I could ask my friend to do a product shoot for me. I looked online to see what other models were saying and oh my Van Hellsing, all the models were saying that it was a scam.

So what are the signs of a modeling scam?

1. They ask you to purchase a product

- the company should never ask you to buy the product, they should already have it ready for you

- most brands will ask you things about your size, height, and other types of measurements

2. Read the reviews

- the company has terrible reviews from other models that have had very negative experiences with the company

- the customer reviews are talking about how terrible the company or the product is

Honestly, this was a learning experience. I'm happy that this happened now rather than later when I'm trying to establish myself and I'm glad I could share this experience with other aspiring models to know the signs.
