SkyLite Studio Free Make Over-Legit??

ejbg2001

I have been to Skylite in Feb with my sister and we had a nice time. Yes there was a wait and yes its not perfect, but the makeup and hairstyles were great and the photos looked fab. My sister and I paid £250 (+£90 deposit, so £340 total) for 10 photos. The money was deducted when she got paid at the end of February but we still haven't received the photo cd. I had a quick look for the number and only received the answerphone message. I then looked it up and found this thread... Now I'm worried...

Skylite Studios are now being used to sell portfolio shoots for Edge Models / Edge Modelling / Modelling Extras. They state on their website that you cannot get photos done at a makeover studio, yet according to everyone here Skylite Studios is a makeover studio giving away free photo shoots to tempt customers in to buy photos!

Do some checks before you accept your shoot with Edge Models. It will not get you work and you could be paying for a very expensive makeover portfolio that is no use for modelling work.

For the modelling shoot they charge you a deposit and will then charge you an additional £99 if you cancel or don't turn up. This is only in the small print at the end of their email.

Hi I was called by these people in Oct 2010 saying I had "won" a makeover (I had entered a few competitions so thought it was legit). it sounded great, and the lady who called me, Tanya asked if I wanted to bring a friend. she then advised me I had to pay a deposit to secure my place, I asked if I could think it over before parting with any money but she put pressure on me there and then to pay the deposit. afterwards I told my boyfriend who said its a con and i should ring the bank to cancel the transaction, so I did but they could not stop the payment, I called Tanya the next day and asked for a refund and she said they don't do refunds and apologised if i was a little worried which reassured me at the time. however I live nowhere near London and cannot afford to go there so did not attend in the end, I tried sending the tickets back to them in December with a polite letter advising I could not use the tickets and could I have a refund. They were returned to me with a note saying "addressee gone away" which made me think they have moved.It was only when I tried searching the company on google that I came across all the stuff saying it is a scam which really worried me. i managed to come across another address (on Bow Street) so tried sending them there....again they were returned undelivered. tried ringing the phone numbers and it says "number not in use". has this company been shut down? and what should i now do to try and claim my money back (if its at all possible) I lost £90 in total for 2 tickets :-( thanks for your help
