UK Models - Modelling Scam in London UK - Fake Model Agency

By J Drew -
There are many adverts being placed online for a site called UK Models that claim to offer modelling jobs to those that apply. The reality is that UK Models is not a modelling agency but a front for a studio that will just sell you an expensive portfolio.
 
Everyone is accepted for a model shoot because their main interest is selling that photo shoot. They can't offer you modelling work because they don't have any as they aren't an agency

Real model agencies do not charge £50 deposit to assess you - that would be an illegal fee. However it's not illegal to charge a deposit for a photo shoot.

UK models will tell you to bring a parent if you are under 22. That clearly isn't needed in the UK as anyone over 18 is an adult. The only reason for someone older to attend is so they have money to pay for the expensive portfolios.

UK models previously was the name used by Blue Rooms studios to sell their model portfolios, they may be used by a different studio now. If you are attending UK Models and think you are being scouted by a model agency then you are being scammed. They are not an agency and can only sell you photos.
