We are in our middle 70's living on Social Security which barely cover's our expenses. On a whim I applied to New View hoping to supplement our SS, I believed in this company. I applied online they emailed the next day asking for an audition, we went listened to all of the people in the office rave about us, how they needed someone in our age group. I won't lie we were both very flattered. I normally wear glasses but wanted to look my best so wore my contact lenses which I cannot read anything with. After our audition we went back into the office which was dimly lit that is when they told us we would have to pay up front for the two of us it was over 3K , I understood her to say that we had 30 days to change our minds. The following week I had a heart problem, not knowing what my medical bills would be we asked for a refund. It was then that I realized we had been SCAMMED, they refused said we only had 24 hours to change our minds and then it had to be in writing. Desperate for money we kept in contact with Brandon, we told him we would return after my heart problem was figured out, many emails later he said he would refund 25% of the money we paid which by the way was for pictures that were never taken. That is when it really hit me that these senior citizen's were SCAMMED. This company keeps getting away with this nonsense, I refuse to give up until I have explored every option there is. We need that money. BTW, both the owner and this Brandon was extremely rude. Stay away from there. We only attended three visits there, the audition, ordination and a skin care class. Comment.

Huge scam! They stole money from me and wont return it. you never have to pay for modeling. they teach you absolutely nothing about real modeling and acting and will not hire you a job no matter how hard you work and try their training is not even real training. you can learn the dumb they teach you their 4 1\2 month training in less than an hour. They just talk about most of the time and don’t teach you.i hope they don’t get to rob many people of $2000 like they did the rest of us the funniest thing is their act is so messed up how they lie and steal money from people like that.i wish I could sue that whole company.

Legitimate talent and modeling agencies do NOT charge a fee to join. This is industry 101, as you can see from these links: 1) https://actingcareerinfo.com/scam-agencies-vs-real-talent-agencies/ 2) https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0071-look-out-modeling-scams 3) AND MOSTLY IMPORTANTLY SAG ITSELF tells you NOT to pay! Link: http://www.sagaftra.org/content/getting-started-actor-faq I was naive and roped in by these artists and lost a great deal of money to them, gaining nothing in return. The one job I was paid for, they told me they couldn't give me my check because of my yearly $100 for photos, even though they had not taken any updated photos. Do not trust this company. They charge you thousands for "classes" and will give you a slew of reasons as to why you should take them, like that you have to prove your serious and show them you're "trained" and "experienced enough" for them to promote you. Sign with an agency that does not charge you up front! This is a SCAM.
