Model Guides

I submitted a photo online and they contacted me saying they had chosen my photo specially and that they wanted me to come down to London for a 4 hour modelling experience. They were quite pushy, wanting me to pay a £50 deposit, that would apparently be refunded after the experience day. Model Guides wanted my card details over the phone to pay for the deposit, but I refused, as any rational person would. I have decided to leave this company well alone. The first 1 star comment is believable, but the last couple of positive comments seem, to me, to have all written by the same person. The poor use of grammar in each short comment is a massive give-​away. Very dubious.

I spent £1000 on a photo/​website package and six weeks later I am still waiting! The guy told me this was a great discount as we were the last of the day and he thought my sister had great potential and I told him I could not afford any more than that. They will take what money they can from you by making you believe what they are offering is to good to be true but please do not waste your money and buy anything from this company. My 14 year old sister had a great day there then they ruin it all by bullying you in to buying a package from £1000 up to £3000 that you don’t receive! I have received 27 out of the 74 photos (on a blank cd) I was promised and they are not even of good quality.
Please note I have since set up my own website for my sister which can be free and you can airbrush your photos online yourself for free.
Many more people have written bad reviews but have been told to remove them.
Model guides assure me they are not a scam but that was 2 weeks ago and I have still received nothing! When they are trying to book you in they can’t call you enough and tell you how great they are but once you have ordered from them you can email and call non stop and no one gets back to you. They called me straight away though one I contacted the model that was there on the day and said I would take the matter further.
