This is a note to any model who migth recieve a call from model search america.  They are full of shi**. They scammed me out of $1200.  I was told that I had an all inclusive package to an event at the MGM Grand in April. They got my credit card number and did the confirmation with me and let me know it was non refundable. At the end of the conversation they asked me if i had any questions and I asked them when I would know what my flight plan was.  Apparently my "all inclusive package" wasnt so all inclusive because after shelling out $1200, I had to also pay for my flight down and back and my cabs to get around.  So much for an upstanding honest company.  Please dont be fooled like me!!

Models-- always, always, ALWAYS do research on "agencies" before you sign yourself into anything.  Usually all it takes is the name of the organization plus the word "scam", typed into a Google search window.  Example:

Next use your Karl Malden card, the amex

they have a buyer protection plan, if you are not completely satisfied, or if there was not a 'meeting of the minds' on the arrangements, they will take care of it.

Contact your credit card company and report that your credit card has been lost.

They will cancel and refund that purchase and send you a new card.
