My college-age daughter was approached by a company called “One Source Talent” who presented themselves as a modelling agency. Immediately, the “scam alert” went off in my head. I found one reference on the internet to them being a scam, but nothing else. I would have expected more if it was widespread.

So, I come to you all – has anyone had any experience with this organization - good or bad? Please share.

I haven’t heard of this agency, but beware if they start asking for money up front for any reason - photos, etc… So I have been told.
