I agree. Beware!!! Beware!!! If they ask for money they are not legit, reputable or professional. People request and ask to work with me. I take talented clients THAT directors and casting agents want to book. They appreciate when talent understands the business and has some training. I always encourage training, but its not open ended. When the client makes money, AGENTS AND MANAGERS make money. Teamwork is dreamwork! Come on folks it's really that simple!

I wanted to inform you all that Joseph Phillips who owns Premiere Model and Talent agency in Akron Ohio is a fraud. He currently has a ad up on NEOHiOPAL asking for models and actors. He scammed my daughter and I out of hundreds of dollars. I signed a two year contract with his agency for my 9 year old Alanna stinson a few months ago. We were told that we were to pay for 12 weeks of training and classes as well as as be provided with a portfolio, comp cards and a photo shoot. To this day we haven't received anything. No classes, training or anything that we were supposed to be provided with. I have emailed him as well as called Joseph and he has not responded. He has taken my money and hasn't provided any services in return. He has also done this to atleast 8 other women and children. I wanted to inform you of this fraud before he scams anyone else. Thank you.
