My friend got scouted by a modeling agency?

[Anonymous]

My best friend got scouted by a modeling agency on Instagram and they seem really interested in her ‘look’. I’m really happy for her, but I’ve always wanted to be a model myself, should I sign up as well? I think I’m just as pretty as she is. She has a casting soon, Do you think I can ask her if I can go with her?

It’s not a scam, we looked up the agency online!

I’m slightly worried that I don’t have the features for modeling though, but my friend does. Should I still go?

Please make sure you look up all the reviews and gather as much information as possible, before doing something you might regret.
And remember no bonafide agency will ever ask for money upfront for such things as a full photoshoot and collating a portfolio.
Please do take care and stay safe.

Thank you for the advice! I’ll make sure we look out for scams, I know they’re all around.

That sounds like an awesome idea but Google the agency first make sure they’re legit

Go for it 😊

You should still do it. The worst they can say is no. How tall are you?

[Asker]

I’m 5’8 and so is my friend. But she’s skinny while I’m more curvy :( and she has a more ‘model’ face I guess.

Try anyway. Doesn’t hurt to try and they may love you.

[Opinion Owner]

That being said what @emmamary said is 100% legit

[Asker]

Ok thanks, I just might be upset if they accept her and reject me. But I’ll try 🥰

[EmmaMary]

Opinion Owner... Thank you for supporting my advice.
Too many "gullible" girls these days are sadly being ripped off by these bogus agencies.

[Opinion Owner]

@asker go for it 😊. Good luck.

@emmamary no problem. You give amazing advice.

[EmmaMary]

Thank you so much.

Sounds like a scam.

Being online doesn't mean it's not a scam, lol.
