One of the biggest scams operating today is the Wilhelmina Scouting Network. NUMEROUS reports of UNAUTHORIZED credit card charges, withdrawals from bank accounts and through debit cards from victims that had even up to one year and a half ago discontinued the service under Options Talent/Emodel.
This is credit card and bank fraud. Victims please check your statements and look for 'Wilhelmina NETWK' on them for either $60 or $69.95 and immediately report it to your bank/cc and to the Florida Attorney General. These are not "clerical errors" this is blatant fraud. Make photocopies of your documents; this applies to those that have clearly discontinued their service and continue to have credit card charges and money withdrawn from their account illegally.
"One of the biggest scams operating today is the Wilhelmina Scouting Network. It takes thousands of dollars from young people or their parents through high-pressure, misleading sales. All it gives in return are empty promises of a career in modeling."
