Primodels

Asked for $8000 to create folio and model training. Scam. Thank god we didnt pay it.

With the whole #metoo movement I couldn’t help but reflect back and think about all the slime balls I have encountered as a woman. This made me think of Paul Roberts and he’s scam artist ways.

As a young teenager I was manipulated into paying for “catwalk practice” and a weird, amateur photo shoot. He also convinced myself and a few other girls to walk the streets of Melbourne handing out cards to unsuspecting “potentials” who were usually young, teenage girls unaccompanied by an adult.

I should also mention I was told by a friend that he had taken her out, got her drunk and made a move on her. At the time I had thought it was gross.

Looking back, I have now realized it was not only gross but predatory and disgusting.

I hope this guy is not getting away with it anymore. Stay away girls.

We had to deal with so called Robert from primodels. It is a scam and he is fake.

We lost $20000 and the rest.

All the fake promises, but he doesnt care. So what ever you do, PLEASE DON'T DO ANY BUISINESS WITH PAUL ROBERTS FROM PRIMODELS.

Primodels is {{Redacted}}. I attended 'catwalk' sessions every Saturday in late 2015- mid 2016, and was told by Paul Roberts prior to attending to the building weekly that we would have a photoshoot every so often.

The entire year I was with Primodels, there was one photoshoot. This photoshoot consisted of very poor equipment (Just a LOW quality camera outside, no proper lighting or reflection boards), and makeup applied by a so called 'makeup artist' that practised poor hygiene and heavily lacked application skills. Apparently with years of experience. Paul asked for money up front, from memory i recall it was about $2000.

This was to walk up and down a long hallway in our own heels for, for a few hours once a week. Futhermore, Paul then asked a few of the girls out of our group of 13 or so, to go to New York to speak to designers and agency's about whether they'd like to use us in New York Fashion Week. Paul asked for $18,000 for this, and it wasn't even a guaranteed position to participate in NYFW. The front he puts on is absolutely ridiculous and he thinks so highly of himself that it is laughable.

Paul gets into the heads of 15 year old girls and makes you believe that THIS is what you have to do to make it in the modelling industry, leaving supportive and encouraging parents out of pocket and dreams of young people crushed. Since leaving Primodels, I have become my own, SUCCESSFUL, freelance model. I organise my own photoshoots multiple times a week so I can make a living, and acquire highly regarded make up artists, hair stylists, photographers, and fashion stylists by myself at 18 years of age.

Excelling your catwalk if you're under 5'10 is pointless. Make your own professional relationships and do NOT fall into Paul Roberts trap.

I am writing this to spread the awareness about Primodels and Paul Roberts, I have worked with Paul Roberts in various photo hoots and modelling assignments. One of my friend told me he wants to join a good modelling school and I recommended him Primodels.

Few days later he came to me mentioning complaints about Paul Roberts and Primodels but i couldn't believe, Obvious as i worked with them and i was aware about how legitimate they are. I called Paul and asked him about those complaints he told me some of them are put by his competitors and most of them are on Rip off Report and they are now calling him for extortion. Rip Off report has asked for $ 20000 fro removal of these complaints.

Paul informed me he has filled a case against Rip Off Report which is in process. I suggest all aspiring models to join Primodels and don't get mislead by Fake Complaint about Paul Roberts and Primodels
