New Faces found me on Casting Calls 360. Offering me a photo shoot from Target that I never received.
They told me I had to pay a one time $24.95 which was debited from my account every month until I made them stop. I never got any results from this company. I asked them to cancel my membership, because it was just a waste of my money and time. They told me to wait six months and I will see results.
I didn't get any results.
I emailed them and no one didn't respond either about the talent search. I
- Suppose to be free to join
- Every month they are charging you
Preferred solution: Full refund
New Faces will empty your wallet dry!!!
My close friend and her mother were approached by a "scout" at the Queens Center Mall a few months ago. I was appalled to hear that this company charged 700 plus dollars for pictures to be taken of her at their office. They charged $45 for the CD of the pictures. Then they talked her mother into signing a vauge contract--and she is not from this country and did fully understand that you have ONLY 3 DAYS to cancel it and only through certified mail and some other tricky way--instead of giving a simple refund in 30-60 days.This company then called her and offered a second contract and asked for more money to UPGRADE for 4 more years!!!!!
This cost over $1000 dollars. Then they called her about a job for MACY'S saying she was selected out of all the other kids. The job was then cancelled and she never worked ONE SINGLE DAY--This is the
list of excuses: " MACY'S has changed the date of the shoot (May 27)", "The Director/Manager '''JAMES" was not available", "James is in the hospital", "Oh the moved company and he's not around". --Wait, how does the company moving have anything to do with him being available???
NEW FACES ARE STRAIGHT UP FILTHY SCAMMERS!!
Anyone who has dealt with or who is thinking of doing so MUST STOP NOW! Do not
trust anything they say---even TYRA BANKS knows that a true agency will not ask for
thousands of dollars without any work ever being done at all.
I will report them--contact the Consumer Af'fairs bureau and expose them for their
GREED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

New Faces Development Center Scam Scam Scam
I want everyone aware of this agency. It is not licenced, it is a place that preys among innocent parents and children.
They scammed me out of $850. I took my daughter for an appointment and right away the art of persuasion started from Mecca H who works there. She showed us packages right away and we purchased from her great tactics of manipulation. Right away without reading the contract, they took pictures of my daughter.
I went home uneasy read the content and it explains no refunds once pictures were taken.
Now I am trying to fight this. Please if anyone has an experience let everyone aware.
LET'S POOL TO HAVE NEW FACES DEVT CENTER SHUT DOWN
Same story, my children were scouted at the mall. We were finally convinced through their numerous phone call, and went there on 1/22/11.
We waited for hours and told them to come back another day. THEY THEAT US, ONCE U LEAVE, YOU'RE CHILDREN WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED ANYMORE (we got fooled)! We signed and paid $1,500. We were given a photshoot date 1/29/11@***m.
We're told it's discounted. We were about to leave, James Muniz, forced us and told us children need to practice posing in front of cameras. We came home, my daughter, googled and found all scams about them. I called them, sent the cancellation on 1/24/11,postmarked, with return receipt, 1/26/11, met the 3-day cancellation.
James Muniz, called me, he received them , but don't want to refund my money. he said, pictures were taken, etc. Discover card denied credit, saying new faces, said contract is valid. etc.
NEW FACES HAS FRAUDULENT REFUND POLICES, FRAUDULENT PRACTICES. ETC. THE CATCH AND THE BAIT, ONCE YOU'RE in, You're trap, and once you paid, they forced you to take pictures, that's it.
Then you can't cancel. EVIL PEOPLE!
New Faces Development Scam
I am writing to report about New Faces in Hicksville. They are running a complete circus show at that company at the expense of hundreds of people's hard earned money. The worst part of all, is that these people are "specialized "in kids, so they corner you playing with your own and your kid's emotions, ambitions and/or expectations. It's an ugly job, using parent's love for their children to ripping them off money. Let me tell you how their entire operation works.
First they find a way to pull you in so they send out scouts to malls, beaches, or any other crowded area where there are a lot of young people. These scouts have no special training and usually know nothing about the modeling or acting business themselves but are told to just bring anyone and they get paid based on how many people sign up.
In my case, they called me up to come in for an interview. So you go in and meet a "director" who is nothing more than a salesman (James) and convinces you that you need comp cards or headshots or any kind of photo shoot, and he works with his "employee" (Omar, "senior development director") who has told you James could give a discount if you do enroll on spot (a cheap and old sales pitch). They charge you a ridiculous amount of money and say that you have everything it takes and once you get your pictures taken you will get your $800 back or whatever they happened to charge you. That never happens. What they don't tell you is that they own the photo studio and the photographer and if it were legit you would be able to take your photos anywhere and get much better quality.
After your photos are taken you meet with them again with the "marketing manager" (Isabel) who also knows his job very well (7 years of people's ripping off experience), but sleekly, they tell you to come back after 3 business days to review the pictures -time they need to null any intent to cancel the contract you've sign in the beginning- and find out that you need to get copies of all of them and after discussing that you need about 5 photos for a good comp card you end spending about $550 or so on 100 comp cards. They happen to own the printing place also that makes the comp cards and that is more money in their pocket. Then they explain that agents and casting directors go ti gigacomps.com and you need your comp card on the site and you will get more work that way and they charge another $800 for a 1 year membership. Well, surprise surprise...they happen to own the website as well.
So for me, that was not a surprise, it's a medium type agency, mostly average should I say, with steady regular expenses and operation's cost. So they MUST to get something to carry on with that. And that's OK with me, they sell you promises. But they DON'T tell you the truth from the beginning. It's an elaborated sales process with different levels of processing, with a lot of smiles and "warmers" to keep you up and excited, but NOBODY explains you from the beginning and in clear English how much ALL the process will cost you. They allow you to go paying for one thing first (photo shoot), then, once they get you all excited (and your kids as well) with the photos and warm promises, they charge you again (photo cards) and finally, they try to charge you again to "promote" your file with a "membership" in what they claim to have (250 or so) companies/agent/casting directors, etc.
I felt like a blind folded cattle being driven to the slaughter-house.
After I told them I will not pay for anything else we did agree-on from the begging, I've try to contact them again to get my money back. Yeah, that's gonna happen. They never in, they're busy interviewing (ripping off) people or they have Donald Trump-like schedules, a harder-than-a-fish catch. So, money: Bye, bye.
My advice to you. Stay as far away from these people as possible. They are crooks and do not deserve to bring in another penny!! Spread the word! Only with your help can we put these crooks out of business. Trust me. I have learned the hard way to stay away from these kind of crooks.
