So looks like they are going by the name of AMM now instead of Angel Management. Son was 'accepted' onto their books via email.

Went down there, whole building smelt like marijuana from the other music studios in the building. (Yes I should have just left then) Two girls in the room while son had pictures, they were just looking at their phones the whole time and gossiping to each other. They took photos on one floor and then took us to another room on the floor above. They tried to charge me £400, wasn't having it.

Then saw on the paperwork.

We are not an employment agency and no work is guaranteed through the purchase of these images. Unless you want expensive photos please stay away, they will not make your child a model.

AMM Managment (modelling) Not what it seems

something is deff wrong - yes we took our son to the photo shoot as we were advised it would see how he reacts in front of a camera (at not point were we told that these pictures would be the ones we would have to purchase for a portfolio). No one about it was a poxy building used by various companies (think they had rented a room for a while).

we were finally taken in to a separate room to be shown the pictures which were o.k and told a model agency in Manchester had said they want to take him onto their books. to make the payment we had to do a bacs transfer as their card machine wasn't working ALERT ALERT ALERT!!! Then I couldn't have a receipt as the printer wasn't working ALERT ALERT ALERT!!! The pictures were downloaded onto a disc and we were told that all the paperwork would be emailed to me to print out and sign (including the form to select the 6 pictures for copyright purposes.

4 days later and numerous calls and emails I still haven't had the paperwork. We did however take my son all the way to Manchester (2hrs drive) for them to basically ask for £100 and for us to sign the contract, They never asked to see his portfolio or any i.d ALERT ALERT ALERT!!! Even with all this and I consider myself to be quite savvy we fell for it hook line and sinker. really really cross with myself.

Hey guys

This is all very sad.

You actually wanted free pictures ?

How would they pay for

Rent ?

Reception ? Photographer ?

Make up artist ? Model advisor ? Electricity ? Phone bills ?

Props? Back drops ? Furniture ? Business rates ?

How would they cover these bills before they ate a single crumb and fed their families ? How would they Get to work ? Pay rent / mortgage at home ?

Buy clothes ? The list can go on and onnnnnnnnnnnnnn Pathetic the whole joke of wanting something for free

So this is all a scam ???

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. When I got the email and saw that Freddie was successful in the initial screening and being invited to see how he reacts in front of a camera.

He all sounded legitimate and that I was so excited. However, my gut tells me that it could be a scam so I googled the company and looked at its address. It is unusual that their address is in a Business Centre in East London. Although in the email he said that they will pay for the make up, the shoot and something, they didn’t mention that we will need to purchase the portfolio etc.

Thank you again for sharing your experience with us.

Did you see it on Facebook and then submitted a photo too? If so, I will report to Facebook too that these scammers are using Facebook advertising for scams.

I have been today Sunday for a Free photo shoot.

It went well and afterwards was taken in a room and shown photos and told I would do well within the commercials side of modelling and that the agency Total Talent Management have said they will sign me for a one year open contract she then went on to say how good an open contract was meant I could see other agencies, now in my head I am thinking how did this agency see my pictures and within 20 min of taking them and on a Sunday day I have a contract but I kept quite and then told I need a portfolio which I can use set pictures taken today got given a price list ranging from £799 down to £399 I said this is way to expensive and she pulled another book out with one for £250 said I don’t get paid till next week and she said we can take a deposit of £50 said no as I am only getting paid next week left and now got home and see all these different reviews it a scam it just not possible that after 20-30 min from taking the photos which are on a usb not even been uploaded yet and I have a model contract scam scam scam

Another lying *** who works there... making up lies to hook people in.

No one goes to a photo shoot expecting free photos... that's because they know what they're getting into. When someone's told they are going for a competition and they got through then that's a lie.

Also You make up your pricing and take whatever the 'customer' will give. Disgusting dirty scammers

51 photos 200£ complete scam they knew I knew it was scam ..

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Well... read it was a scam ..

still went... knew it was a scam but still bought the photos .. guy made up the prices as he went along 6 photos for 200 10 for 400 35 for 600 and all 51 for 800.... he knew I knew he was talking *** I asked for one photo he said no can do ..

then said I could get one photo for 50 ... eventually know I wasn't a complete fool offered me all photos for 200 ... I bought them cos I liked the photos tbh ... stupid but I will cherish the photos for life that's why I bought them even tho I know it's a money making scam .....

guys who are reading this before the shoot just don't go !!! Book a shoot with a professional or buy pro camera with the same money and do it yourselves guys don't be tempted then make your own portfolio and send them off to individual agencies ... they also make u wait whilst they are scamming the previous clients and then maybe even reduce price after agreeing to the price to make out they are doing u a favor ...

really they probs just like u better than the previous client lol .... anyway if u want good photos for expensive go for it cos that's all it is !

They are scammers as they lie and say it's a free competition and then charge you for rubbish amateur photos. You don't go in thinking you are getting a photo shoot and they lie and say paying for the photos is the only way you get accepted.

Photos are rubbish and everyone gets 'accepted' it's how they make their money. And when you email to contest when you realise, they're rude and threatening

Please stay away from this company. Scam Scam Scam!!!!!!!!!

Wow that is a great price for 51 pics that you really liked.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Angel Management Uk - Scam Model Agency - AngelsManagement.co.uk & LittleAngels.uk.com

These fraudsters are operating a scam model agency and trading under the name AngelsManagement.co.uk, as well as littleangels.uk.com and angelmodels.uk.com. On the Angels Management website and in their Google advertising they describe themselves as a model agency to fool people into signing up We were invited along for a 'free photo shoot' at their studios near the Elephant and Castle and had some photos taken.

We were then told we had to buy a portfolio from them if we wanted to go on their books as a model. After giving us the hard sell, they finally conned £500 out of us.

They made us sign a 'contract' which I have uploaded for everyone to see - you can make up your own mind - I feel really *** for letting it happen. I am very upset about being scammed and I have left this review because I want to do everything I can to stop other parents falling into the same trap.

Hi thank you all for the feedback.

We would like to make it 100% that we are not an agency.

We sell photographs. I can only compare the business to a photo both.

They sell photographs as we do.

Our other services such as the job board , online world wide profile and intro to several agencies are free.

If this is s scam then so are photo booths

Yes Sammy you're not an agency you are thieves. And you don't just sell photos you convince people that their children or themselves have a "career" in modelling.

Comparing your business to photo booth is bollocks.

Seriously you actually believe that!? {{Redacted}}

SCAMMMMMM!

COMPLETE SCAM! The photo shoot was shocking, photographers were pretty much two guys that had picked up a camera, no makeup artist or hair stylist as promised and the ‘studio’ is a room with a desk and background paper to trick you into a false sense of professionalism.

Staff are rude and you’re left waiting for hours. You are brain washed into purchasing appalling quality pictures for extautionate prices (example: 10 images for £400). Editing is literally making some pictures black and white. The building its self is a complete s#*t hole and you would never guess that it was supposed to be a modelling agency from the outside or in.

If they think your crap photos are good enough they refer you to ‘one of the biggest agencies’ (as they aren’t even an agencie despite their website suggesting otherwise)this is *** these agencies are unheard of and will not put you on their books unless you pay them an upfront cost of another £120. You should never have to pay to go on an agencies books as they get a percentage of your earnings from jobs they get you and that is how they get paid no other way.

Please read up on all of this if you are looking to become a model. Do not go with ‘Angels model management’ or ‘AMM’, these people are scammers and it is disgusting!!!

My wife signed up my baby with The Little Angel Group, www.angelsmanagement.co.uk and ended being scammed out of a lot of a lot of money which we can't afford. She only handed it over because she thought she was joining a legit model agency and wanted the best opportunities for our child.

It turns out that they using Google ads to claim they are a model agency and fool parents into signing up to their 'model agency'. See the screen shots included with this post.

There is no agency, they do not find work for you, and will say and do anything to get their hands on your money. There is a FB page which gives a lot of details about the way this scam https://www.facebook.com/Modelling-Information-Service-100320****453095/

Every review that I read clearly says the same thing that we're said to me at the test photo shoot. Angels modeling group lol.

They trust me enough to give me the high resolution I. Ages without getting the full money.

The guy look me in the face and said I trust you. How do you trust me when you dont know me I paid the 399 that they ask for and I'm in balance of 120 pounds which they will not be getting.

CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION PRETENDING TO BE A MODEL AGENCY

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

They will contact you saying that you, or your child has the talent to be a model / actor, it will all seem legitimate, and then you have to go for a photographic test, and there you have the blow, at the end of the test, you wait long hours to talk to an 'agent', who will explain how the company works, but its function is to sell you photos, for an exorbitant amount, DO NOT BET IN THIS, you will not be sent to any job, NEVER. They have different names, they change all the time, AM Management, Angel Management, Little Angels Management, and God knows what else ...

Not bad at all

I applied to this company for my son. He was invited in for a free shoot.

I asked do I have to pay to pay for the pictures on the phone and I was told clearly if I want the pictures then I would have to pay. Had the shoot and paid nothing. Some days later TMA a London agency called me asking me to put my son on the agency website. Since then I decided to pay for the pictures and I am happy with them.

I actually called a top model agency and they said you will not get free pictures from most agencies and certainly not children agencies. Also and a very BIG also I applied for my son to do a job from the website they let me put my son on and he is starring in a new short film. Am I pleased ? Is my son pleased ?

To right we are. Now we have an agency and a portfolio and a job.

Not bad at all but do not expect free pictures

I feel I have to comment here. Just had the shoot which I enjoyed and which I decided to pay for the pics.

The shoot is free as they say and in the confirm email it does say the pics are not so I expected what I got.

Now they have put me on a website and gave me access to a job board at no extra cost. If I was the next big model then yes maybe an agency would help with my portfolio but I know I am not the next big thing just a normal guy trying out some thing new Quickly from me give it a go but do not expect free pictures but what is free in this world anyway.

Did you get work from them?

I agree with you. We took our 16 year old son to the studios and had a great time.

The photographer was fantastic and made my son ( who had never done this before) feel really relaxed and he captured some amazing photographs.

He has been accepted by the agency and we were totally prepared to pay for 6 copyright photos at £40 each. We were then sent all of the 100 colour and 100 black and white photos which we love. The Agency kept to their word and have given us access to the job website so hopefully a suitable job will become available .

If it doesn't , then we have some fabulous photos and 6 copyright photos we can take to another agency if we like . My son has already be referred to another agency.

So are they a legit agency? I had a test shoot and purchased photos for my portfolio, I have heard back from another agency after my pictures were sent out but they are charging an admission fee. Don't know whether I've been scammed or its legit.

Do not trust them!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I registered my daughter online with them on https://www.angelsmanagement.co.uk/ . Shortly, received an email saying: Hi, Thank you for the recent application we are pleased to confirm you have passed our initial application process.

We would now like to see how (my daughter`s name) behaves and looks in front of the camera. Please reply to this email and we will shall send you full information and booking number. So, they sent me information saying: Hi, We are pleased to hear you can attend the assessment. As mentioned it will allow us to see how you behave and look in front of the camera.

Angel Management will pay for the shoot, make up artist, and photographers time. To book the shoot please call either 0161 726 **** for Manchester or 0207 175 **** for London. So I called and booked a shoot for my daughter. Wasnt it said, it`s free of charge?

Now listen: They based in Manchester, took me long to get there by bus from Bolton. We went there, spent around 3 hours in total. Shoot was very fast, around 15 minutes, it was not even a professional photographer in a studio. And after shoot I was asked to go and wait in the other room.

After about half an hour waiting in absolute hot premises, (no air conditioning at all ) another person asked me to come for a final discussion. They showed me beautiful pictures of my daughter, and something like "pics were approved by model agency and you should proceed" but first you must to create digital portfolio so only than model agencies will be able to find ya. They said, they could use these pictures to do that portfolio, and guess what they asked? They asked me to pay now £399 pound for 10pics, or £799 for 35 pics!!!

Isnt it a way too much lol? And they said only when I pay, model agencies will be able to find me haha. Even than there is no guarantee that these "agencies" will get in touch. Anyway, I do not believe they are working together with a real model agencies, as I see they just making business on offering free shoots and than pushing parent to buy pictures.

Do not waste your time. Better find a descent model agency !

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

SCAM!!!!!Beware of Angel Management Model Agency and Little Angels. I signed my little one with them thinking they are reputable model agency for babies and they will find jobs for him as they say on their web site.

I thought I don't have anything to loose as they don't charge registration fee and they claim there is no any other cost. We were called for a test shoot which was terrible experience as we we there for hours,photographer wasn't very professional and photos were not good at all. After the shoot (about and hour) they put us in another room and we waited there for about an hour...They showed us the photos and hard sell started...If we wanted our baby's portfolio on their website, we had to pay for the photos at unbelievable prices... from 500 up to 1000...

if you don't buy the photos,no portfolio.

We couldn't really afford any of the packages so they put price down to 399 and we stupidly agreed to that. What a mistake...We didn't hear from them since, there is no contact at all, ...When we checked the receipt from the shoot,at the bottom it says they are NOT modeling agency and I guess they will never find my son any jobs.I feel like an *** to fall for this scams...Please don't make same mistake!!!!

Beware of this Scam Parents

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Just like everyone else I was invited for a test photo shoot to see how my son performed in front of the camera then told I had to pay a whopping 399 to get his photos and to add his portfolio online. I was told that the album would only be kept for 24hours due to "laws".

I did my best not to laugh in their face! I did not fall for this scam but I did observe one other couple who fell for it before I had my turn. Their fine print indicates that they are NOT a model agency.

Do NOT sign any documents with them even if you don't pay and do NOT pay them anything. If you want lovely photos of your little one it won't cost 400 odd quid.

I have noticed something here. All you complainers never actually spent any money.

Yes I spent 200 on the pictures which I really like.

I apply for jobs on the website and they sent my details to 3 agencies all who have signed me up.

NOW for the even better news !!!!! I have had two paid jobs that earned me more than the cost of the pics.

Nothing but a scam, moreover terrible taste in waiting room music

I was tempted to attend a photo session in this agency to try my luck in modelling, to get extra pocket money. The session was supposed to be free of charge and serve as a chance to assess my abilities as a model.

After photoshot I listened to the manager complimenting me on how well it went, to finish it with convincing me to buy the photos for 399 to 799 pounds.

This step was optional, but in order to create a profile with the agency and hold a portfolio on their website, necessary. Photos were very good as the photographer does the great job, but the fact that the fees are completely hidden rather disappointed me.
