'Euro Kids' casting agency - Is it a con?

I have been sent an invitation for my child to join this agency. (I sent an email to them containing her picture.) I received a gushing letter about how beautiful she is but they want £124 + vat. The small print states that they take 25% commission on anything clients earn. In which case, if they're so sure my child would be successful, why would thye want/need any money from me? And how can they accept a child without some kind of meeting? The agency does supposedly have successful child actors/models on it's books.

Can anyone tell me anything about this?

    Don`t do it !!!

    I sent an agency pictures of my daughter and we had the exact same thing.. so did 4 of my friends !! Same email, same spiel ...

    If an agency is genuinly interested in your child, then you WILL NOT have to pay them anything !!
