Mode Elle - Took the classes, went to cmtc... it's a scam

yea there's no doubt in my mind it's a scam. I took these classes way back in 2011 and was in denial until now that it was a scam.

I wanted to work as an end result but their focus isn't on that really. My poor mom spent probably close to 5k on everything. When it comes to photoshoots my mom had to pay I think it was $500 up front, but when it was time to come in for the actual shoot they said that I had to pay an extra $120 for the actual pictures to be printed! I only had 4 pictures printed and it was $120!!!

The pictures were horribly photoshopped, they made my nose look tiny but it didn't look human. I will say though, I thought the classes were good for confidence building, especially for young teenagers. I learned quite a bit from the classes but whenever money came up the prices were through the roof!!!

I also one time looked up if Mode Elle was a scam online and this one girl had written her honest truth, the owner of the company wrote this HUGE reply back to her saying "how dare you" etc etc. The reply was probably the size of a small novel.

When you're writing replies back like that, it starts to make you look guilty.. just saying.

If you research, real models do have to pay for classes or expensive photos. Naomi Campbell was discovered just walking down the street by a passing photographer.

Cindy Crawford was discovered when a photographer driving by saw her working in a cornfield.

Today's models primarily have gotten rich and famous based on who their famous parents are, i.e. Ireland Baldwin, Kendall Jenner, Gigi and Bella Haddid, Kaia Gerber, etc etc.
