Should've recognised the red flags. After waiting 2.5 hours, I was asked for a £100 security deposit to be considered. but when I got to the next stage and they asked for between £300-1500 more, and if I didn’t sign the contract, I would lose my secuirty deposit (somehow all of this is returned after a 12 month’s contract). It was then clear that nothing was offered for free to "develop" me as a model until I make a payment. I backed out. I should have researched the agency, checked 1 star google reviews, or contacted a model in their IG. Thankfully I was with my boyfriend who was very skeptical so we didn't sign a contract or do a 3 outfit photoshoot. He went back the next day and asked for the deposit back. After some back and forth, they returned the money on the spot. They first said they would send it after 6 pm , but obviously you can’t trust them so don’t leave until it’s been returned.
