I was called for a photo shoot by a company called The Studio Works in London on Oxford street on October 2017. They asked me for a £50 deposit as first which they said I would get back. They offered free makeup and hairstyles and a bunch of professional pictures. They called me into a room and offered me a modelling contract for 12 months however, they said I would have to pay for a package which starts from 2,500 up 12,000. At first I did not understand but when they explained it made sense they were offering us a one to one personal trainer, constant work throughout the year, a portfolio, a website and many more exciting things. They kept pushing me to get the celebrity package which was £6,000 but I said there is no way I could afford that, so they said they would put in the rest of the money as long as I turn up for work that is offered to me. So I paid £5,500. They said each photoshoot we will be making the money back in a way which would be £1000. The woman also asked me to sign something but I believe she forieged my signature because I do not remember signing anything else. As I left she said the after care team will keep me up to date and call me, she also said that because I got the celebrity package that things would move quicker for me. The day I left that building I did not hear anything from anyone, I rang them a 100 times but no one would answer there were a few occasions the after team would answer and basically say your things will be ready soon. Once again I had to chase them up and no reply when I searched them up I realised that I have been scammed. I have not been provided with any of the services they offered apart from pictures on CD that they gave me the day. I read that 1000 of people have been scammed by this company. I have struggled for months last year they have taken my whole life savings because, I trusted them I wanted to try something new I couldn't believe my luck at first when they said I passed. I did my research before hand and they looked pretty legit and considering where they were based on Oxford street. I have confronted them but they just basically laughed in my face and told me things that are not true. This company was removed due to the same reasons back in 2008 because, of the misdeeds so what I cannot understand is how have they been allowed to start this all over again and scam 1000 of more people. From little children to young kids up to adults. I am concerned for other people welfare as I have said before I have struggled massively I was force to leave my flat because, I could not afford to live there anymore. I have worked nearly up to 70 hours a week to try make that money back which took me 5 years. I had so much planned in my life to do with that money and now it has been taken away from me and I am not leaving without a fight! What I want to happen is help to expose this company make other people aware and I want help trying to get my money back and get justice. I am running out of ideas I have lots of proof of the company and the director himself. I have spoken to various other people who have been affected by this and they also lots of proof to fight this. I have contacted the police and fraud team and watchdog and many other people and services. They are getting away with this I have heard that people have been left homeless and some have been commit suicide because they have gone in debt. These people are heartless and all their employees I really just need help! I have no one else to turn to and I do not have enough money to get a solicitor to fight this case. I know many people who are happy to sign this petition.
