Please, i need help. I just got my email, and i let then know that since im a minor and my parents didint agree to this. What will these people do to me? How do i manage this situation? Could anyone tell me what they did?
I did not reply to their emails regarding the second year contract payment. I did not contact them for any extention because we don't want their service. Now they sent me a letter telling me to pay 180 euro. I emailed them and got no answer. I am waiting for another letter from them and I will report this to the authorities. Why would i pay for something I didn't consume or use? I did not ask for their service for the second year.
I applied for this 15 days ago, then just on the basis of a phonecall, they made a contract that states that i blindly accept to pay their fees (120€) for registration within 14 days. I am a 20 year old bachelor student in germany and i do not even have a job yet so i wasn't able to make the payment. I recieved an email today from them stating that if i do not make an instant transfer of the required amount, their lawyer will take legal action against me. I don't know what to do about this. I want my contract ro be canceled or atleast postponed till i get a job. The amount that i have is just enough for a month's living in Germany but not so much that i can pay off such a huge fees. I request the prestige team to help me out with this.
JUST DON'T GET YOUR SELF INTO ANY MODELLING AGENCY THAT ASKS FOR MONEY, DONT CLICK ON ANY LINKS PROVIDED, BLOCK THEIR EMAILS, AND DON'T REPLY OR BOTHER EVEN WORRYING YOURSELF - IF THEY ARE FAKE, THEY CANNOT TAKE ANY LEGAL ACTION AGAINST YOU ANYWAY. STAY CALM, AND HEALTHY!
IT IS A SCAM
IT IS A SCAM. I too applied for my baby to be a model with this agency. They emailed me after a few days to tell me that the application was accepted. I called to follow up and they emailed me a contract to get registered. I naively accepted but then retracted the same day. The lady on the phone said that I needed to pay 30 euros to immediately cancel or I have to pay 120 euros even though I have not been registered on their database. I didn't pay. They sent my information to Lowell collection agency which has been trying to collect the bill from me. I tried to contact lowell agency twice so that they can verify the debt but couldn't get intouch. First through post code 4020 Linz and second through 1350 Wein. The first letter didn't go through and the second one got returned. I think both prestige model management and lowell are owned by the same person. I plan to take their third billing statement to the police.
Scam! Be aware and of course don't pay them any amount.
They told me "I signed a contract" and i have to pay.
Well I was selected, then the girl on the call said to I continue, basically I "signed" a contract and now they want me to pay 120 bucks, and they are mailing me saying that they would sue me, lol it's a fake lawyer company, and as I am a minor my signature is not valid by the jurisdiction of my country XD it's a total scam they just want your money, now they are on the spam folder, and some people said they send you Cards to your house, just relax they are completely fake :)
I need help!
Today I got email saying I was accepted to some Office prestige agency and I was so happy until I saw I had to pay a huge amount of money yearly and I didn't want that and I just left the page and I saw people saying that they were scammed and that they were threathening them. I logged out of that e mail. Now I don't know what to do, like I'm 15, my mum is a single mum with no job and I need help so if you know what to do or have some smart advices please answer!
Vorrei dare O stelle e anche meno!Ho iscritto mia figlia un anno circa fa in questa agenzia non si è sentito nessuno! E' tutta una farsa per prendere soldi dell iscrizione e nessuno ti contatta e' solo una frode! Non iscrivetevi non cascateci.
Oh my God! Dont register online on their platform. They will send you bills to pay! Its a trap! They never get you any clients! If you dont pay they will threaten you with lawyers!
I sent out the form with my details to see if I would be accepted and when they "accepted" me, they also asked for money, 120 euros, so I didn't reply to them anymore because I'm not paying a dime. So they took my personal data and used it to forge a false contract and said I gave the approval for it and that now I have to pay 60 euros, they were offering me a discount. Well that pissed the hell out of me and I sent them a message telling them to cancel this $#*! IMMEDIATLY and to erase my personal details from their database to which they replied that I have to pay a cancellation fee to cancel MY CONTRACT WITH THEM THAT I SIGNED AND APPROVED. Oh hell no! You messed with the wrong woman, lol. So I went to the police and filed a complaint. I cannot wait for them to come back so I can continue with legal action against them. Do the same, girls. They have to go down.
Guys please don't fall in the same mistake, dont put checkmarks on any thing, you will recieve a call then tell you that you must press on the checkbox, then you should pay 140

No engagement, not even a proposal.
Serious agencies don't ask for payments
I signed an online contract for two years (first year 120€) but didn't get one booking from them, let alone heard from them. After a year, I got an email demanding me to either pay for the next year or cancel the online which costs 49€. But I knew they're fake so I just ignored their emails (they kept threatening me with legal action). But at some point a letter came to my house from Inkassodirekt (a firm that collects money from people that don't want to pay a bill, and that firm wasn't fake) requesting 182,47€ for not upholding my end of the contract (actually it was Prestige Modelmanagement's bill for the 2nd year). I was scratching my head and thought how that could be, that a fake company which is scamming people could work together with a real firm. Then I found out that Prestige Modelmanagement is not an Agency, it's merely a "Management", and make out to be an Agency. So they basically act according to the law so they don't get caught, they're very sly. In a nutshell, their website is just for people to upload pictures, but nothing happens, no bookings, no nothing. Don't fall for this. I actually paid the 182,47€ because I didn't wanna mess up my credit score, which could've happened in this case. I was very annoyed when I realized I really had to pay a scam company that kind of money. Be careful out there, there's so many wolves in sheep's clothing.
They just take your money, but do nothing. They don't give you jobs. It's a lie. It's not a trustworthy agency.
Frauds! Not recommended at all! Stay away from this fake agency! Reporting to the authorities!
In Bezug auf den Fall des Betrugs durch die Prestige Model Agentur in Wien gab es keine Reaktion auf meine Beschwerde an die Dienstaufsicht per E-Mail sowie auf meine Schreiben zur Rückerstattung meiner Vertragskosten in Höhe von 140 € auf mein Bankkonto
Mi hanno fatto pagare la quota di iscrizione non hanno proposto alcun lavoro per mio figlio che avevo iscritto
Nessun contatto se non la ricezione di emails richiedenti pagamenti per rinnovo iscrizione
Attenzione è una truffa
Escroquerie!
Quand tu t'inscris sur le site donc tu remplis le formulaire de candidature, ensuite ils te font croire que tu as signé un contrat qui te lie pendant deux ans et qui te coûte 240€.
Pourtant dans les conditions d'utilisation il est noté "BIEN ENTENDU, VOTRE CANDIDATURE EST ABSOLUMENT SANS ENGAGEMENT." donc déjà il y a mensonge...
La fausse agence va menacer de faire appel à un huissier, mais il faut un jugement de justice. Impossible à obtenir en France, puisqu'il s'agit d'une activité illégale.
Prestige utilise le terme "management" pour ne pas devoir se conformer à la réglementation.
Il suffit de regarder en ligne le nombre de plaintes contre Prestige pour se rendre compte qu'il s'agit d'une agence bidon (il y en a plus aux Pays Bas et en Belgique, puisque l'entreprise a été lancée dans ces pays en premier lieu)...
Answer: Write back to them and tell them to run and jump. They can't sue you from Nigeria (or anywhere else for that matter).
