They charged my son £700, had a photo shoot with an average photographer, they failed to deliver, Jacob the guy in charge said you'll make that money back from jobs and that they are sponsored by the Government. He's a big liar and I'll be looking to take this further.
Positive reviews are fake. I know you want to believe them but don't. Look elsewhere.
It's a legal loop hole scam.
I would strongly advise against using Your Model Management. I had a terrible experience with this company as they scammed me out of £700. Despite their promises of professional modelling opportunities, they failed to deliver on any of their commitments. They were unresponsive and completely unprofessional when I tried to contact them for a refund or explanation. I am extremely disappointed and would not recommend this company to anyone.
When going the the interview, i felt super safe! The atmosphere was warm and professional and i didn't feel judged at all. The photographer was professional and overall i was happy to be there!
This Scam will lead you in on false pretences, they waste your time in a windowless building, make you walk a catwalk and then ask you random questions and give you a photo shoot. After the round of
questions, they show off model packages ranging from £100 - £1000 and a contract. No real agency will ask you to pay them money. Their job is to find work for you and take a commission from each job they find you. I'm still waiting 1 year later for my £700 refund. After you sign with them, it goes to full radio silence since getting your money. Please be smart and just avoid this place at all costs. The Jacob you speak to is a fake name your speaking to these people:
The owner - George Ajuga goes by Jake or Jacob
Meni-Rose Seller - Menelaos Traintafy "the model coach"
Simon - Sadat Mwuma
In the interview stage they'll show you 5 packages which go up to £1000. They claim its a refundable deposit, but you'll never see the money again. Its a typical advance fee scam. They tried to pressure me to sign the contract and to do it fast. No real agency does this. The interview questions was extremely unprofessional and weird. As soon as I declined, they said they'll throw my pictures in the trash and I can't ever come back, they hurriedly took me out of the building. They had no other people in the building except some young girls who work there. You'll never find work with them and due to that they'll claim they can't give your deposit back, I've spoken to people who are signed with this agency and they said its a scam and they received no work. Additionally after my experience they don't respond to calls, emails or texts. Complete FRAUD they need to be shut down.
Pay attention to what I'm going to say... They put a little pressure on you to sign the contract... even if you give up after 2 days and email them like they say... they won't give you your money back. They sign you as self-employed so even if they don't get you a job or this situation... you lose your rights and your money because there is no right to be self-employed... so they promise you many things but you have no rights with them... If they were a serious agency after I signed the contract and gave up due to a personal problem, they were going to return my money.
Please stay away from this agency, they do promise people lots of things. You have to pay a deposit which they say it's refundable but they never refund it at the end of contract. We followed all rules and conditions of the contact, and they agreed and confirmed it but still didn't refund our deposit and simply not responding any more to my emails. They don't even share what jobs they put you forward which any genuine model agency should share. Stay away from then and keep your money safe. Do not trust anything what they are saying and promise.
Went for a photo shoot here last week. I was very impressed by the professionalism that everyone displayed here. I couldn't have been more happy with my hair and makeup. My photos came out so perfect and pretty. I totally recommend this agency!
I have heard a lot of false rumors about this profession, except that I have absolutely nothing to say about it. I received a very warm welcome and the person who took care of my recruitment managed to reassure me and put me at ease. Comfortable since then, I feel more sure of myself and more fulfilled.
They will make you pay refundable deposit then not refund when they fail to get you jobs. They will ignore you and give you headache. Please stay away! I got stung badly but will be taking legal actions against them.!
They are a scam.
This place is a scam from start to finish. They have interviewers who are very manipulative and will make you feel like you are good enough to model. They will talk you out of your money and then not have any jobs available.
They ask everyone who comes to interview to leave good reviews on multiple websites in exchange for their OWN PHOTOS. This is not legal.
Thanks so much the experience here was beyond what I had expected all the staff were lovely and they got me the jobs they had promised.
The staff were so nice, treated me well.I felt safe in the environment. Way better than my past experiences with other companies.
Extraordinary organization.
Didn't get a lot of work from them to tell the truth however I did Infact recieve my discount.
Great organization accepted my free artificially glamorize pictures as they guaranteed. Great stuff.
If there were 10 stars, I would give them all. It was a great experience to work with Yumm team. If you are looking for an extraordinary work, definitely go for them.
Do not sign with this agency. They will make you pay a "refundable" fee that you are entitled to back if you apply for at least 12 jobs over a 12 month period. Despite this being clearly written in the contract they have given you they will NOT refund the deposit.
A fun place that not just nurtures modeling careers but instills life skills for every walk of life.
Their stock of professional models come highly recommended to take on any job in the industry.
I've been modelling with Yumm for years now. Only good things to say; serious, attentive and as straight as an arrow. Thank you to the whole team for pushing me to heights I never thought possible!
Very well organised, always better to have a nice staff as well while working. My experience was fast and you can acknowledge that they value their models highly.
