Does anyone know "Quick Model Management"?

City Model Management, Inc? Any reviews or things I should know about this model agency?

• My 4 year old brother has been called in for an interview with City Model Management, Inc. The talent agency is in SF. I want to know if he should go. Does any one know how good this agency is? Are they a scam? Will they actually help my brother book jobs? Any real review or info would be really helpful. Thank you in advance.

• Answer:

  The best single indication of a scam is if they ask for money up front. No legitimate agency asks for money but rather makes money from the work they book for your brother. How did they find out about your brother can be another clue; if it is a cold call, it is a scam, if your parents submitted a photo then it could be legit, but if "an agent or scout" approached your family at a mall or some other public place it is probably a scam. I did a quick BBB search and they have no listings for them so you may want to check out reviews on them at the following review sites: http://www.yelp.com/biz/city-model-management-inc-san-francisco http://www.insiderpages.com/b/15243782111/city-model--talent-management-san-francisco http://local.yahoo.com/info-21344928-city-model-talent-management-san-francisco When in doubt save yourself from spending any money if they ask for it up front insist that they make that money when they actually book work for your brother. Your parents will have to be involved in working with any agency given your brother's age.
