Is VIP Talent Connect a Scam Ripoff? REVIEWS & COMPLAINTS 2011
The first thing that needs to be answered is what exactly is a scam or ripoff? It is an attempt to cheat or defraud someone. And now the next question, what is VIP Talent Connect?
On their main site they explain themselves as “a service for the fashion and acting communities”. The big hype surrounding the Entertainment industry is “never pay up front fees for an agency.” But viptalentconnect.com does not have it anywhere on their site saying they are an agency. In fact it clearly states that they are not an agency to make sure it is clear to all people at all times.
So lets try to get a better grasp of what an agency is. In the modeling industry, agencies like Ford Models will take a percentage of what you earn when you book a job. But after you book your first job, you will only see a very small amount of money. This is because you are going to have to pay back the agency for your photos and any other expenses and marketing material. An agency also has another fee called a mother agency fee. This is what it charges its clients for using its talent.
VIP Talent Connect does not charge a percentage of the money you make when you book a job. This is one of the reasons their service is desirable. They also do not charge a mother agency fee. So it attracts a wider variety of clients. Everything from independent films to fashion magazines to feature films.
The concept behind viptalentconnect.com is to help models and actors get started in the Entertainment industry. You as a model or actor need to start somewhere. Build a proper resume. Some of these jobs may not pay anything, but this is all part of getting experience. So if you ask us, is VIP Talent Connect a scam ripoff, we have to say no way.
