Hello to all of you. I hope someone can help me. I received a referral from a model here on mm, Gabby mm# 1825825. I went to her account today and she no longer is there.....hmmmm? Suspicious!

I sent a e-mail and other information that she told me to. I have received two e-mails back from them BMG Modeling AGENCY. I asked several questions that I needed answer's to. I was very thorough. I feel if they are ligit they won't have a problem answering any of my question's. I have been on Google to search and the Better Business Bureau. Google I have found some information. Such as a website with all four of there locations and contact info. The BBB I found nothing as if they don't exist. I stumbled across a forum and the topic was BMG Modeling Agency are they ligit. Several individuals answered yes.

I am feeling 25/75 about them so far. More so that they are a scam. Unless I am told other wise. The e-mail had several typo's and that raised a flag for me also.

I would appreciate your help

God Bless,

It is likely that the person who messaged you is not in any way affiliated with BMG.  If the email address you were given does not end with @bmgmodels.com, there's your answer.

BMG in Chicago is a legit agency: www.bmgmodels.com. I know several girls who are repped by them. They are not a scam, but I do know that my friends are not booking a lot of work with them.

Keep in mind that the BBB does not have the inside scoop on a lot of stuff so I wouldn't trust anything you see in BBB.

Sounds to me like you need to read www.newmodels.com. Also another great resource so you can learn about the industry: www.joeedelman.com (click on "modeling resources"). Good luck.

Thank-you all of you who have responded. A photographer I am booking with for a shoot referred me to another model who works with them. She also is here on mm. So I contacted her also. The e-mail address [email protected] So things are starting to add up.

I am just extra cautious. I have been in the game on and off since I was 15 and now I am 42. I never have been burned and I want to keep that way. Momma didn't raise no fool...*LOL*!

My best to all of you, with GOD anything is possible!
