    They do not promise anything. 

    They say that they will “help you to seek opportunities.” That is absolutely not a guarantee of finding you paid work.
    And “ideally”...”you could be signed to an agency.” Not that you will be.

     Very carefully worded to give no guarantees at all. 

    You may have a case for not getting the photos you paid for, and so you could follow up the chargeback with the bank for at least a partial refund. 
    I'm afraid Mrs MbW and I were caught out by something like this about 20 years ago - I thought she could get a job as a photo model (because of how beautiful she is), and the company hosting the event back then was called 10AM Management.
