Horror stories, upon horror stories. Especially down here in Southern USA. In South Carolina it is very common to hear young people suckered into the "get rich quick being a model - give us a large amount of your money and we'll put you in front of the people who can give you the world" scam.

So called modeling agencies are nothing more than a gloried hoax that give "real" talent and modeling agencies, who actually teach and prepare our young people for the realities of the business, and real life, a BAD NAME!

It's pathetic to hear how the dreams of these bright young people are being sucked right out of them...and yet, in our Nation of Voyeurs, watching "Top Model Search" and "America's Got Talent" on the TV, people and hardworking parents keep falling into this pathetic money trap!

Please just be aware. Protect your young women!
