Crimes of Persuasion

Schemes, scams, frauds.



"Millennium Model Management in Kansas City took my son's money to sign up then we paid for pictures. Shortly after picking up the photos he got an email saying the were suspending business. No jobs, no interviews, No NOTHING!! They have re-opened under the name of Model Talent Group across the street!!"

The concerns about Model Talent Group are about the background of its leadership in sales of photography and comp cards, something modeling agencies and model managers are not supposed to do. What happens is new models pay for photography and comp cards, but don't get any work.

Consumer Complaint

My daughter was "signed" by Millennium Model Management located in St. Louis. We have paid a great deal of money to them and she did not get one job. They have some comp cards that I purchased for $200 that they needed to send to "potential clients." Now I have found out they have gone out of business, what about all of my money they I paid to them???

Consumer Comments

I have just found out after spending $1500 in kansas
city that Millennium DC, Cleveland, St Louis, Chicago
and Kansas City have been closed down.

This was just three weeks after they took my money and gave me nothing.
They gave me a photoshoot only and I had to do my own
makeup.

Tim Madden the Director who squeezed the
money out of my parents now wants me to follow him to
his new agency that has started called Model Talent
Group.

A friend went in for a meeting at the new agency and
was told all the same things and was told she would
have to pay $1,200 for a photoshoot and she would get
ten prints from that shoot.

How can I get my money back and warn people in my
local area about this [...] to get people's money. The
website is www.modeltalentgroup.com

Thank You.
