THIS IS FROM THE OWNER TO ANOTHER PERSON:

Response from the owner

Hi Asia. While I appreciate your opinion I disagree with you. Gimmicks don’t last 34 years. Our models and actors are on billboards, television commercials, web ads, packaging at your local retailer, movies and National TV Series. We don’t accept everyone but when we do we make certain they are 100% ready to land the job. Look at

instagram @nvmodels. Best of luck to you Asia.

THIS IS MY REVIEW:

My sons both went here. Funny! My kids have been waiting to land some jobs..

oh wait they have to be notified for auditions from New View. My son still never got paid for a shoot he did. They DO NOT make certain they are ready to land jobs AND they do ACCEPT nearly everyone that comes through that door. If you can pay them the money, they will accept you!!! THEY WILL TELL YOU WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR SO THEY CAN TAKE YOUR MONEY. They will tell you that your kids are great and they have what they are looking for but don't be fooled like I was. They want everyone!! I knew better then to pay a company if they wanted my kids because I modeled back in the days. I'd like to see how many people they have actually turned down. My kids have only had 2 auditions in the 4/5 years that they have been a part of their company. They try and say "Oh it's your cell phone company" because they send out texts for audition's. I have been honest with them and they know how I feel. The last time I said I was going on the internet and giving them back reviews, before I knew, the owner wanted a meeting with me and my kids to see what they can do so I don't put out bad reviews. This is when they got the 2 auditions.. lol. DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR MONEY!!!! They want my daughter and tell me that she could make it far in the field because of her looks being so unique but yet they want me to pay them to be a part of their co. HECK NO! I pd them $4000 for both my boys. If they really think my daughter would be that great in the field then they should want to snatch her up and build her up to be great. Ugh! Sorry for the rant. Trust me!!! DO NOT PAY THEM! YOU WILL BE WASTING YOUR MONEY!! If you want proof I paid them then I will be happy to send it in a private message or you can go onto New Views site and look up rieley t and colin t. Funny how they don't have them listed under Models anymore. I had to search for them. How can they be promoted if their pictures are not where they should be? UGH!!!! They tick me off!!! Wish I could get my money back!!!

Since I posted this review I have gone round and round with the owner Joe G of this company, he made me feel like I was some stupid individual that had no reason to be in modeling to begin with. The joke is on him, he has an attorney "if you can call him that" a pretty stupid play on the attorney's part, sent an email asking me to take down my review from the Better Business Bureau, big mistake because it is illegal.

With all that said, I got back all my money after threatening them with a law suit. Once again I caution anyone that has dealings with Joe G. at NU View and the other alias that he goes by, don't get played by him or any of his associates. Total SCAM!!!

His attorney offered me $500 to remove my review of this business from the BBB which is illegal. I am thrilled that I got my money back but I wish to warn everyone out there that has hopes of getting a modeling contract, PLEASE make sure you read the contract before signing, in my humble opinion this is an old man trying to stay in the mainstream of modeling he just doesn't have it.

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.

I use to work for new view in the call center thats 4 doors down on the left. I felt so bad telling ppl on the phone that they could model in this and that magazine and truthfully knowing it was a lie.

Bridget was my boss and would literally coach the girls lies to say on the phone to make people come in to make herself look good. Bridget also would take hour breaks and come back smelling like ***. This is a scam company and full of drama no one gets the jobs they tell u over the phone for free u have to cough up thousands! Bridget use to tell me to never mention a price on the phone or the ppl wouldn't come in.

Why be so secretive if its a legit company joe? Its a scam.

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.

You pay $2500 for waste of time classes. I can teach myself better make up techniques from youtube.

I can also practice and teach myself how to walk with more time and rffort than they were willing to put in. As far as castings, shows, events. Don't hold your breath. If you work a full time job and pay your own bills you will never be able to make this work.

They expect you to be able to show up to a casting when they give a 2 day notice. And the worst part- I made time and at 11 pm the night before the test shoot.. the photographer 'cancelled'. All fakes.

Chester Jessica Meredith Joe. All the ladies that model pretty much work for the agency.

Company is a scam. Pay 2500 for the classes alone.

Moved to a different city to persue my dream. I work a realistic job to take care of myself. Any casting I am asked to go to I am given a 2 to 4 day notice. And then they persue me so I make the time to *** work and they cancel!

My time is quite valuable and I am upset! I pay you you for a contract and you give me no work!

I paid the full price for these classes back in 2012, went through all this BS and was told they were gonna train me and give me self-confidence or some whacky *** like that (obviously emotionally attacking me for more cash) completed the training for a few months then they basically told me the only job available would be convincing other people to do the same classes for money. They had their own people in magazines that were probably made by them in one of the back rooms to make it seem real. But this is definitely not a good purchase for someone interested in this type of business.

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 ANS ACTING AND WILL NOT HIRE YOU A JOB NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU WORK AND TRY. THEIR "TRAINING" ISNT EVEN REAL TRAINING. YOU CAN LEARN THE DUMB *** THEY TEACH YOU IN THEIR 4 1/2 MONTH TRAINING IN LESS THAN AN HOUR.

THEY JUST TALK ABOUT *** *** MOST OF THE TIME AND DONT TEACH YOU ***. I HOPE THEY DONT GET TO ROB MANY MORE PEOPLE OF $2,000 LIKE THEY DID THE REST OF US. THE FUNNIEST THING IS... THEIR ACT IS SO *** FAKE THAT THEY MAKE YOU BELIEVE ITS REAL AND LIE THEIR *** OFF TO YOU.

SICK ***.

ITS JUST SO MESSED UP HOW THEY LIE AND STEAL MONEY FROM PEOPLE LIKE THAT. I WISH I COULD SUE THAT WHOLE *** COMPANY!!!!

If new view was legit there wouldn't be questions about it if it was real. They take advantage of people and are very shady.

Trust me, stay away.

Oh and Someone on the staff responds to all

Of these negative comments and also posts anonymously for positive comments to make the ratings go up. Stay away.

Do not waste your time with this scam. I signed with them from 2010-**** during that time I seldom heard from them, the only time I talked to them during that time was when I contacted them.(the only time I have ever heard of them calling any of their "models" is when they miss a payment) They never had any jobs and went months without updating their casting sections. When I asked why I wasn't getting any any jobs from them they always had a BS excuse about how the market was small, or they were sending out my comp card(which they never do with anyone) or that I didn't have the right look for their jobs, or that I wasn't working hard enough etc etc. In truth they didn't have any jobs, all their "clients" they get from open calls and Craigslist.

Even once you are a model they make no effort to market you or get you introduced to the local Photography/Modeling circles, in fact they do every thing they can to keep their models away from it.

I was fired from NV when I discovered irrefutable proof that they were lying to models and stealing from them. At the time they were claiming that they represented Miss USA 2010, Rima Fakih(the Miss USA pageant had her agency listed on their site and it wasn't NV) I met Miss Fakih back stage at Rupp Arena when she was trying out to be a WWE Diva, and showed her the Old NV site that had her photos and claimed to represent her. She called her real agent and NV removed the the photos. They can still be found on the Way Back Machine.

They also like to claim they represent Ian Mellencamp, who they have nothing to do with. Ian ditched NV when he moved to NY for COLLEGE, and all of his big name contracts and deals are due to CLICK MODELS and Model 1. This is readily available information that you can easily find on google.

They made claims of connections to all these major Agencies and Industries, I called up every single one they claimed to know and turns out NOT A SINGLE ONE had ever heard of them, several even checked their files of who participated in recent shows/shoots, NV having claimed to work them, and nothing except a few mall shows. FORD, NEXT, VISIONS, CLICK, COSMO, MC2, not one of them had ever heard of NV.

Turns out they only Models they were publicizing were the ones who worked in the office, Everyone else's cards and portfolios just sat on a self or in a closet.

When I addressed NV underhanded actions they fired me, but not before stealing most of my last pay check claiming fees, that were not listed in the contract and threatening to sue me if I made this information public.

A few months after I was fired there were several questions raised and an investigation launched into the who the actual owner of the agency was, and one of the head directors was FIRED.

Before anyone thinks that I am just saying this "because you just couldn't make it as a model" not weeks after being fired I put out feelers into the local communities of Cincinnati Louisville and Lexington, and had more jobs and photoshoots in a month than NV got me in the entire time I had worked for them. And THIS YEAR, I have been in at least one fashion or print publication(some international) EVERY MONTH, with one shoot for a magazine this weekend and another at the end month for a different magazine. I have been interviewed multiple times and participated in several new big name fashion events.

All this from a guy who according to NV didn't have the right look, was in too small a market, and didn't work hard enough. NV wouldn't know a model if they walked in and bit them.

New View Fraud agency DOES NOT develop models and they never have and they never will, they just steal money from people and lie.

Also all the crap they claim to teach you, you will never use and don't need. What you do need and use, you learn literally can learn and master hour before a runway show.

One word SCAM. No reputable agency will charge you for classes in order to sign with them.

Please keep this in mind before traveling out of town to see them.

They will not be upfront with you but they require everyone to pay for classes before they get you work. Very small agency not worth it.

New view is awful. These use deceptive business practices and accept anyone who will fork over $1595 for classes with no gaurenteed work.

People who run the "front end" are out of touch and I would never recommend this place to my worst enemy. Stay away, you will be glad you did.

I found the agency that said I was what they were looking for. All I had to do was fork over $1200 for classes.

Then after the classes I had to take an exam to get in for jobs. I took the classes, took the exam and passes. Weeks turned into months, months turned into years and after phone call after phone call the finally told me I wouldn't be getting any jobs because I wasn't one of the "top" models! What!

Well how to I become a top model, they said by getting jobs....

But they wouldnt send me any jobs because I wasnt a top model... They screwed me over as well as all the other girls and boys in my class and 20 other classes!
