Prestige Model Management

Mi sono trasferita in Svizzera da poco,e 3 mesi fa ho voluto provare ad inreressarmi ad alcune agenzie di moda.
Cosi tra alcune ho inviato la candidatura anche a Prestige Modelagency. Non ho mai ricevuto E-Mail ne Chiamate e oggi mi arriva una fattura a casa da pagare 200 Fr. Urgentemente e minacce che se non pagherò entro il 05.02 aumenteranno la cifra del pagamento. Ho provato a chiamare tutti in numeri ma sono inesistenti,a inviare E-mail ma mi da che non esiste il sistema. Non pagate!

I signed the online contract with them but before paying anything I found these negative reviews here. So I immediately send them an email cancelling the contract and they replied back asking 49 euro for cancellation fee plus the 140 euro for the year. How can a contract be valid when no ID was entered. I might as well put fake information about myself. They have no any individual name. Also the phone on their website is not working plus the address exist but they don't have offices there. I called the fraud investigation team and they told me not to make any payments and that they can't take legal actions against me, because their company is fake. They told me to block them and not communicate with them anymore. It did stress me but what to do. Just stay away from them, hope they will take their website down.

It's a Fraud,
Please don't pay any amount, they are not serious, they just ask for money and they do nothing, if you have questions about your job they answer with automatically email, they don't exist. I suggest you to give your money to charity und help other people.

For those of you who have been scammed or being scammed now (my daughter currently being chased by debt collector in Austria). You can complain to the European Consumer Protection, send your complaint to the Austrian office as Prestige claim to be based in Vienna (probably a postal address for forwarding to their Nigerian owners). This is the email address info (@) europakonsument.at. Good luck and don't pay them.

More than likely Nigerian scam artists, attached is their mail to my daughter, scared the wits out of her. I have also attached my email response to them. I will be contacting the Austrian authorities which is where they claim their offices are based, but I am sure the real address is Lagos, Nigeria.

Initially I agreed to join Prestige. Then without ever signing a contract I changed my mind and decided to withdraw my interest.
Despite this Prestige are emailing and demanding fees. This is harassment! They are demanding and unrelenting!

Well orchestrated fraud with multiple payment reminders, threats of legal action and finally dubious collection agency involvement. It is a one-way street. Clients are duped and relentlessly threatened. A well-organized way to trick unsuspecting customers lured by a well-made website and series of traps. Once a customer is in, all he gets is bills and reminders to pay. Nothing else. I wish I could add some evidence of some kind of service, but I have none.

I unfortunately fell into this trap last year and was forced to pay 140 euros after several threats of legal actions. Never had from them after paying, no single service received, only to hear from them recently that I need to pay for the second year and if I want to cancel I should pay 49€ for premature cancellation. It's high time we stop these people from stealing our hard earned money. Guys lets join forces and stop them before they con more people

As everyone else here, I fell for the trap. I paid for the first year. Received an e-mail that they would pay 50% of the necesairy fee. Now, a year later, I get another payment request for the other 50%. When I asked for an explanation, I only got an automated e-mail confirming my cancelation and payment request for cancelation fee. This is bs as I never asked to cancel, I asked for an explanation. When I asked them again, I received the same automated e-mail about cancelation. I didn't pay and received a payment reminder. I answered them that I wasn't going to pay and that I needed an explanation. Again, the same automated e-mail arrived. Still haven't paid, and I don't want to. Don't really know what to do now. I read here that the lawyer company is fake, but how can we stop this company from continuing this scam? Where can we report them? Any help/advice is welcome.

My experience has been the same as everyone else's reviews. Duped to pay for the first year contract. Heard nothing back for almost two years. No assignments, no communications, NOTHING! To then receive an email for renewal payment. I ignored email, followed by legal action email from them some time after.

I emailed to cancel, the then followed up email to pay 48 euros via paypal to cancel. NOT doing that.

DO NOT USE THAT WEBSITE! Ignore all threatening emails or actions

I found this agency on internet and I trought "why not". The day after i send my candidature they replay to me that I was suitable "to be a model" and they send me a contract where i should pay €140 to use the website.
I came here and I read those horrible comments. I didn't sign any contract, i sent only the candidature.
I sent an email where I said that I don't pay anything bc I didn't sign the contract and the candidature wasn't constraing. I should be worried?

I'm so nervous about this situation and don't know what to do, is this company for sure scam and they can't force me to pay because I mailed them to cancel a contract same day when I signed in and three more mails and everything what I get from them are automatic mails. Should I relax and block them and don't worry or pay?

DANGEROUS SCAM
DANGEROUS SCAM
DANGEROUS

EDIT:
I posted this review a week ago and I've just seen this company has tried to threaten to take me to court they also blocked my comment on trust pilot so I'm trying again. As this clearly ISNT a fake review and I have proof.

I haven't even registered with this company and I'm getting emails asking for money, a cancellation fee and a year upfront absolute scam. I am not paying a penny. I read certain reviews saying they are associated to a law firm meaning they can find loop holes forcing people to pay this no matter what.
They can threaten me with their lawyers, whatever they want it won't work. If anyone is based in the UK call this number: *******2040

I've attached a photo of proof of how this company will try to harass you.

Do not get involved with this agency. I have registered with them for a single year contact and they are demanding money now for second year. I have cancelled it and they charged me more money just for a cancellation of my contract. Now they are threatening to contact their lawyers. Always using automated emails and can't get an answer to any of my questions that I have emailed them. Anyone else have this issue and if so, did you pay and how did you get away from them?

Just look, it had me pretty scared so I decided to look into it and found out about this website was a little relieved by seeing I'm not the only one, I didn't realize it was scam till to late.

Signed my daughter up to prestige modeling in may and and was so excited. Paid the yearly fee. Since then I've been trying to get feedback or help trying to update her profile and they are no help. They do not answer phones and I've been promised a phone call back now for a month. They seem to be a money scan to me

I'm one of the people that checked and now I'm into this fraud. I just called them to have more details and they told me to have more details I had to check the 3 boxes and I asked if there was any fee to pay after that and they told me no. I did it 5 days ago so I'm into the 14 days. Then I wrote them that there was a misunderstanding and to cancel my contract but they want money. Now what do you recommend me to do? Of course I don't want to pay but now should I just ignore them? Should I threaten them because I didn't sign anything (before the deadline of the 14 days)? Or should I have a good lawyer or go to the police?
Pls help me.
