My sister was approached by a modelling agency called New
experience, and they asked intially for $1000 for a "professional
portfolio" to be done, when my sister remarked that it was too
expensive they offered her $500 claiming it to be for the priced
charged on infants.
I told my sister not to join, but she wants a reason, apparently my
sixth sense aint good enough for her.
I called up the agency to ask if the portfolio can be done
elsewhere and produced for their reference, the china women who
claim to be part time said she would get her boss to talk to
me.
Yesterday, the boss called and i wasn't really pleased with the way
he talked, kinda reminds me of typical ...oh nvm.
He claims to have been in the business for 20 years and has been on
TV newspapers and interviews, he claims that nothing is free and
doing the portfolio is compulsory, he claims that elsewhere the
"professional portfolios" would set us back by thousand of
dollars.
I told him i would consider first, to let my sister join or
not.
Firstly, why did a china women picked up my call? And she cannot
answer my questions.
Secondly, the boss has to contact me?
Thirdly, 20 years into the business you do not have a website? I
tried searching online for any traces of New Experience, no
luck.
Lastly, i suspect this is a SCAW (invert the W)
Any advice people?
