I know people who actually have done well with TC Talent. As far as it being a rip-off, I dont think you can call it that. We don't offer anything that we don't provide. We do not guarantee work as nobody can. I am very sorry to hear about the bad experiences with the company, but you have to understand that this is not for everyone. My suggestion to anyone who is considering doing anything, not just TC Talent, is if you are spending money, be it $10 or $800, ask yourself if you can afford to lose it. If you can't, don't spend it. thats how we get into debt. one last note: TCTalent is, as of today, Willemina Scout. I'm sure you all know who Willemina is. Obvoiusly, they are a legitimate modeling agency, and I'm pretty sure they would contract with any company that was ripping off would-be Models and Talents. Thanks for the opportunity to rebutt. Disclaimer: I have to say that I do not in any way represent Willemina Scout(TC Talent) as a whole. All statements made here are my personal opinions and should be taken as such.

I also was ripped off by tct. The same thing with the whole fashion rock. I have been through different modeling agencies but non like this. I know that I should have researched it but my boyfriend wanted me back into it so he paid for half. What was it $800!!!! I have not recieve responses about me. Just general looking for whomever. I am soooo disappointed but I am glad that I have different contacts that still help me with modeling. I believe that everyone that has signed with tct should get all of thier money back. All they are doing is raking in the money and putting out nothing. Does anyone know how to download the pic to change them. The ones they took were awful!!

I have been on the site for almost a year and nothing promising has come I just now started doing research on this company and its not good news at all. To make situations worst, I was about to pay my money for Fashion Rock too, they claimed spots were going fast but in this economy no one has money like that to waste with no guarantees. But they seem to be still trying to fill spots well now they have one more to fill.....Mine!!! I was just contacted by a reputtable agent and they did not find me through tc talent they found me through my aol profile and it didnt say anything about me being a model but the agency is interested. I checked rip off report but the bbb says this agency is clean, wish i would have done checked with you before 945 dollars. oh well unfortunately i had to learn the hard way.

okay, so you signed up for something without checking and you obviously didn't read the 8 page pullout from industry magazine. not much chance of getting your 800 back but I would hold off on buying more pictures. you can update your pics for free, however, so have a friend take some good pictures or use ones you already have- not graduation pics or anything- real pictures. then at least you'll have a good digital comp on their site and agencies can do searches and when they see you it won't be a crappy picture. I do know a lot of models get booked but as to whether you'll make your money back, no way to say. good luck
