I RESPOND TO ALL COMMENTS
Scams are very common in the fashion and entertainment industry. There are people who prey on young talent and use their desperation of becoming a model to their advantage. What could be more flattering? Someone approaches you on the street and says, "Hey, you should be a model. You've got what we're looking for . Here's my card." People have always said you're good looking. Now, visions of fame, travel and money flash before your eyes.
It's true that some successful models have been discovered/scouted on the street or nowadays on Instagram. But the vast majority of wouldbe models knock on door after agency door before work comes their way.
General Best Practices
As a general rule, you should never have to pay an agency to get representation. Modeling Agencies works to get their models work and they only get paid when the model books a job. Typically the agency will take between 1020% commission rate from the models check. If an agency or anyone in the industry is asking you to pay for an opportunity, then its a clear sign that it might be a scam worth investigating.
