Hi! I was stopped at Roosevelt Field Mall by one of the scouts of New Faces Development…He said that this company provided exposure so that I could land into a job in acting or modelling. They gave me a call immediately and booked my interview appointment at New Faces immediately. When I went there it all looked so real….with several people waiting in line to be actors or models…There was music…A TV screen advertising IMTA and showing prominent successful prominent actors who had become successful in life. They asked me to fill out a form…Then this guy called Tim called me in for interview ….and he seemed like he was in a hurry and busy becoz his office was so full of people….He just asked me why I was there and told me that I could do this as a hobby and had a lot to offer in the entertainment industry….He showed me a folder filled with pictures of people that they had photographed at New faces and they had appeared in magazines and print ads….And he had so many of those fotoes…It all sounded so legit. Then he showed me his price list sheet which had all the prices of the fotoes listed….some of them were so costly like over 2100 etc…I told him that I was not working and did not have so much money to pay for them. There was a price for photographing 1 look listed for $750. Then he said "I will give you a discount….I will give you 3 looks for $750". I thought it was a good deal and gave him my credit card. He charged my credit card. Then he said …"lets get started with the first look photoshoot today…and you come back day after tommorrow to shoot the next two looks with more clothes." He then showed me the make up room where their make up artist did my makeup and their photographer took my photoes…..Then as I walked out of there I felt a bit uneasy….becoz in that meeting he had asked me not to tell anyone about the money that I paid!!….So, I decided to check the internet and OMG…I found a whole bunch of articles stating that it is a scam!! and ripoff reports that they have been reported to BBB also…I printed out some of those ripoff reports and went back yesterday to the New faces center. I told him "I have found reports that you are a scam and want my money back. You have been reported to the BBB". Then he said " Macys, HomeDepot etc have scam reports too but do people stop going there? And now you see scam reports against us….I am not going to let that stop me from doing my business …We have been in business for 16 years…I have my daughter working for me too….And look at all these people we have placed in the industry."….I said "I dont want to continue this any more and want my money back". He said "Well you took pictures already right?" I said "I have called my credit card people already and have asked them to stop the payment you charged me". He said "You cant just walk into a restaurant and pay there and then cancel the credit card transaction the next day…Thats illegal…YOU are scamming us."….He further said " And you took pictures with us….and look at our price list…We have 1 look for $750…and I was being nice to you by giving you the other two looks for FREE". I argued " But you didnt tell me that the other two looks are free…you just said that you were giving me a discount. So, you can divide the $750 by 3 and deduct $250 and give me back $500 at least". He then went back to his list and said "No!!….Our list says that 11 look was for $750…and I was giving you the other two looks for free. Dont change our words…You are scamming us by changing our words."..So basically he was not going to give me my money back. In the end I asked him to give me my CD of pics…and he said I will have to come back next week to get it plus I will have to pay $45 for the CD also (which was part of the agreement). So, I couldnt argue the fact that his price list had $750 for 1 look and he got me to pay it by telling me about this "discount" and photographing me the same day. So, when I got back I called my credit card people and asked them to let the $750 go through since I couldnt argue his price list. And now I have to go back to get my CD. But I feel scammed. I feel he shouldnt have gone back to his original price list of $750 per look after telling me that he was giving me a discount. And now he is telling me that I am scamming him !!…Plus he told me that "BBB was a Bunch of Bullshit…that gets complaints everyday…"…He said " You cant just listen to negative side of things…You have to listen to positive side of things too.."….Plus he looked at my copy of ripoff reports that I confronted him and told me that the complaints were 6 years old….and he was not believing them!!
What should I do? Can something be done to stop these people from extracting money out of people by fool
Can anyone out there PLEASE HELP ME?? PLEASE…
THANKS.

– PWInsider.com is reporting that WWE Diva Tiffany (Taryn Terrell) was suspended by World Wrestling Entertainment earlier this week. The suspension was a result of an alleged incident at a hotel WWE booked talents into. The incident, which is being described as a domestic issue between Terrell & her husband Drew McIntyre, led to police being called to the scene. Terrell was sent home by WWE management following the incident. WWE has not publicly acknowledged the suspension or potential change to the PPV.

-what do you guys think about this
Wow thats troubling news. But honestly, it won’t shake up WWE too much because the divas really haven’t been taken seriously in the ring in the last few years besides melina, mickie james, and beth phoenix
Is that race discrimination, to give a discount to only one race, excluding all others?
You will be sued and put out of business in your first week if you try that.
You can give something like a free desert with dinner purchase to all people named (insert your favorite Thai name here) Just keep your names traditionally Thai and throw in a betsy or clint once in a while.
We have a pizza parlor here that gives a free mini pizza to people with certain names every day. They put the name on the marque outside and only those who drive by see the name.
I’m planning on becoming a history major. Im thinking of going to an ivy league but im not sure whether I have the credentials.The reality is im not another math whiz with no personality. I personally think im not that good at math and i actually have personality and lots of volunteering experience.I would love to apply for cornell, u penn, columbia, princeton, boston college,boston u,university of chicago,northwestern georgetown,u berk, ucla. My SAt scores aren’t that good but yes i know that i will improve dramatically
your help will really be awesome! :]

The trick is to find schools that are already accepting students with your credentials and apply among them. Free online college searches are available. I use College Matchmaker a lot because it is user-friendly. Another good one is at The Princeton Review.
All those clubs and activities? Seems a bit dilettantish, Amiga.
In your application, limit your list to the top 2 or 3 at the most.
