    Hi

    I won a competition for the Platinum Package , got a call and bought my my gal and her friend. She loved the whole experience, studio a little small and bought a portfolio on a copyright. A month later she recived a call from a casting director and got invited back and he he got her a job for £750 modelling shoot for NEW LOOK!
    She now has a few more jobs from Studio.
    Everyone who is complaining here is simply ignorant, how much do you want to pay for professional artwork, £10.00 might as well go Debenhams for a family shoot if u ask me!
    Makeover Studios - not for the cheap..but defo recommended to keep the missus happy

    :spam::spam::spam::spam::spam::spam: or what?!

    I think we need another button (really, TPD, another button??). The spam button just doesn't cut it for our johnnybwoy.

    bosunblackman post reported as spam. (Edit: New user, long post, praising make over company - now removed)

    Shows you the kind of lowlives running these scams and the lengths they will go to try and get your money.

    Avoid at all costs and remember the golden rule .... any competition "win" that asks you for money up front is a scam.

  • I just received a call from this company to say that I had won a competition for their Platinum package and it all sounded good until Martin mentioned a small deposit and then alarm bells went off for me. It got even worse when I said that I couldnt pay the deposit until I got paid and he then suggested that we set up a post dated payment!!!! I DONT THINK SO!!
    Its a shame because a prize like that is nice to get but i'm of the opinion that a prize is exactly that, a prize which I should not have to pay to collect.
