Kids.com????

Has anyone received this mailing? The website is actually www.justourkids.com. The letter says "Your child has been brought to our attention..." It is a children's modeling site. Does anyone know anything about this?

I do. It is an agency that markets children to modeling agencies. I went for their interview and signed Ryan up. I think it was like $500. I came to my sense the next day and cancelled. Everyone I knew said if they really thought your kid was worth it, they wouldnt charge you because they would make their profit off commission. Unfortuantely I think they take advantage of new parents.

It's a scam. Any reputable modeling agency would not make you pay.

Ok, so I did it. It's not worth the $500. But you do not have to choose the option to pay...
You can submit your own photo and they really do call. They called Juliette for Target and Walmart ads, but we turned them down.
What it is is a sub agency where real modeling agencies look for kids. You get about 5% less because you have to pay the agency, them KIDS.com, then you. But they do call for work...

We also signed her up with a real modeling agency in the city which cost nothing. From that she had three shoots in one month and made almost $1000 off of it. Here are so agencies which cost nothing.

If you want to get in to modeling, FM me and I will send you a bunch of respectable agencies. (We did our homework AFTER we signed her with Kids.com...)

This is 100% true!!!! Do not ever pay a dime!

I used to be an kids agent at one of the most reputable agencies. We never took a dime from anyone.

In fact, I used to tell mothers of babies DO NOT go out and get professional pictures taken. Your child will not look the same in a few months from now!

Good Luck!!!!!

P.S. all of the agencies Aliaspook listed are totally reputable!!! One of them was my old agency!!!!
