Most modeling agency scams consist of an organization pretending to be a legitimate agency when, in reality, they are not (or if they are legit, then they are not following the laws that apply to these types of businesses). Under the disguise of an agency they typically charge new models hundreds to thousands of dollars in order to pay for pictures, portfolios and other expenses, which are upfront costs. This is illegal in the US, since agencies are only allowed to make money based on the commissions charged to each client when booking their models/talent for work.
