A modeling scam involves situations where individuals or organizations pretend to be legitimate entities within the modeling industry (agency, manager, photographer, casting director, etc.) in order to trick unsuspecting aspiring models into paying them hundreds to thousands of dollars. In reality the services and promises by the scam will not be fulfilled and the people that pay the money are often left with substantial financial loss.

Is barbizon modeling agency for teens trustworthy?

Barbizon is not an agency, they are a modeling school and charge fees for people to use their services and receive training.

Is casablancas modeling and career center legit or a scam?

Many people are quick to label it a scam but it is a legitimate business because they state clearly that they are a training center/school and that they charge for people to use their services. They do not promise or guarantee that anyone that pays for their services will become famous or go on to get signed to an agency. If they did do that, it would be a false claim, which could then be used to label it as a scam of sorts.
