My Son was contacted to do a shoot for the Ga11ery . We told we needed to pay a £50 deposit but we would get it back.

 

We went to  the shoot and he was told he had won a contract with Adidas.

We were told that he would be paid £3500 for the Adidas shoot.

But because he had been chosen and they would not be looking for anyone else in good faith and to ensure we attended the shoot we should pay £1000 which we would get back at the shoot. 
 

no one from Adidas has contacted us

they have set up a website with his images but I have since read several posts around this company with the same scenario that nothing comes of it and people have lost money as it is a [problem].

How do I get back my money.

 

Please help

Hi.

 

I've seen quite a lot of information about them, haven't come across that name though. Who was the photographer, do you know?

 

HB

No she said her name but can’t remember it. She was actually quite good and the shots came ok. But I would not pay a £1000 for 10 photos

Sorry that was replying to bank fodder about the photographer

I'm out at the moment so I can't write very much but I'm very sorry to say that because you paid by bank transfer and not by credit card I think that the outcome here is that you were going to to be unable to get your money back.

I know that is a very pessimistic view and it's not very often I take that approach but in this case I think that the cost of trying to start a legal action in order to get your money back and the difficulties with enforcing any judgement as well as being unable to get your costs back would probably mean that it's not worth it

have you actually spoken to your bank about this?

 

I have known a bank refund a BACS transfer over a similar sc@m involving Pet Portrait Pictures, whereby they found out the money was no longer held in the company account had infact been immediately transferred out again into a personal bank account of a well know fraudster who had numerous CCJ's again them for similar Sc@ms.

Yes I have contacted my bank on the same day and registered my concern about the company. 

 

Adidas is not on the contract as they were to contact us directly on the Monday.

I have contacted Adidas who can’t seem to find any links or campaign with this company

No surprises there – and I suppose you don't have any written evidence at all that they claimed that there was a contract with Adidas. I suppose that you did it all on the telephone without recording the call

Thank you so much st007 and to everyone who has given me advice.

 

I have just heard  someone on LBC asking about the same thing with the same company.

They have pulled this stunt with a lot of people .

Quite disgraceful really.

 

It is taking advantage of people who really can’t afford to lose that type of money.

They have really disappointed a 13 yr old who believed that he has the potential to take this career further.
