More about Modeling & Talent Agencies

Ana of Bronx, NY August 17, 2009

We went to this modeling agency with my daughter for an interview. The guay name Don toll us that my doughter is perfect for the job. He asked me for money up front, we paid 400.00 only from the total amount wich was 680.00. Don told us to pay after. which we never did. Because we found out that this place was a scam. I called him to get my money and then he refused. Please tell me how can i get my money back.

I recieved a letter from this company named Adkids sayingif u have a child you feel may be suitable for modelling.so we called them, made an appointment and went there.He convinced us that our kids r eligible and they will surely get job ...so we were excited and he forced us to pay right away.So we paid him 680 for 3yrs.When I came home many of my family friends told me that I should not have paid right away and some told me that this is fraud company.

So I did research on internet and found many complaints .So I called for refund and he was very rude.I'm trying my best to get my money back.Moreover I called DCA and they told me Adkids is unlicensed.I have no idea how can these people work so confidently without license.I'll try to get money from them somehow if not i'm gonna tell local news.if u guys want o support me in this matter u can email me

I recieved a letter from ADKIDS saying if ur kids r eligible for modelling pls call. So I called made ana ppointment and went there. He checked if my baby is ok with stragners and also my elder duaghter. He acted as if he was a professional. So he forced us to sign a contract for 3 yrs and we paid 680 using MC. But I did research and found out they r scam artist. I'm trying by best to get my money back and will fight for it.

Casey of Glenside, PA December 7, 2008


We were sent a letter shortly after our daughter's birth, we then called the agency and they set an appointment with the New York office with a man named Don Voight, we were told if our daughter did not cry while he walked her around and into the next room for 30 seconds then we were in...we needed to pay NOW 680. With a three day period to send a certified letter to his NY office and in order to break the contract.

We searched more into AdKids and Mr. Don Voight and found out he has been scamming many parents and children for many years! My husband and I feel so stupid and gullable!

Losing 680 as well as feeling embarrassed and ashamed as parents that this man, Don Voight fooled and tricked us!
