Good question, there are so many scams out there at the moment!

i know you have to be very careful!

We were approached about this in a dept store - but didn't pursue.

Have you thought about contacting places like Mothercare, Pumpkin Patch, M&S etc, to see who they use?

Nemesis, but they're based in Manchester I think.

As long as they don't ask for money up front or get you to pay for your portfolio pictures you should be o.k. If they ask for money walk away!!

I think Models direct are a scam - they were on watch dog a couple of years ago.
I also sent Sophie's picture into them and they said she had 'the look' they wanted and that her photo ould be passed onto their selection panelthe next day, the nest day I had an email to say she had been approved to be signed onto their books but wanted I thin kit was £90 up front for her pfofile to be built or something like that, I didnt go for it.

Apparently reputbale modelling agencies do not ask for money up front, they will take a commission from any jobs you do. Its so hard to know which ones are reputable and which ones are feeding you c***

I agree Models Direct are ones who ask for money upfront - they have LOADS of babies on their books - and without meaning to offend anyone who went with them - they take any baby/child who pays pretty much - regardless of whether they have the looks to be a model or not!
They obviously cant guarantee work so they are quids in, I think they also charge a lot for pictures etc!

In London the best from what I know is http://www.elisabethsmith.co.uk/ - have to be inside the M25 though...and they are VERY picky!
