The Ga11ery Modelling Scam

[mrlr]

They have done the same to me as well. 

How can we hold them accountable. 

Can we all group together!! 

Has everybody reported them?

[mrlr]

I had the same, but £5000, I've tried to claim back via Barclaycard, but no luck. 

How are they getting away with this? 

Is there now way they can be held accountable? 

I'm a single parent and £5000 is half of my annual salary

Hi mrlr. I'm very sorry to hear about your problem.

 

One thing we ask people to do is to start a new thread of their own so that it's retweeted and attracts more attention to what these people are doing.

 

When you start the new thread/topic [click on Create in the red band at the top of the screen], tell us more about your chargeback problem.

I've read numerous threads about these people scamming thousands out of people and getting away with it!. 

I had the same, extorted £5000 out of me by promising my children a modelling contract with H&M worth £3250 each. 

 

Once they have your money, it's impossible to get hold of them. 

  I've tried to claim back via Barclaycard, but no luck. 

How are they getting away with this? 

Is there no way they can be held accountable?

why did BC not refund you?

it's a well known scam

Because their contract didn't mention the verbal agreement they made (in front of my children) 

I also provided them with correspondence stating I did not want to buy a portfolio. 

Is there any action that can be taken against them? They've scammed SO many people...

what is the date of that letter please?

 

if you have not received the end product, that is your dispute..

 

 

 

[mrlr]

The letter is dated 22nd May. 

 

Their argument is that the ga11ery have worded their contracts to ensure the 'service' they provide fits the contract.

The distraction techniques used by these people aren't taken into account.

 

They're very careful to only promise things verbally, then they will draw your attention to certain parts of the contract while you're trying to read your way through it, and also rush you by informing you they have to speak to the other people there to 'let them down' 

 

It baffles me that there's no comeback.

So many people scammed and nothing they can do.

@dx100uk

Do I still have a leg to stand on with Barclaycard with the fact that they made verbal promises, then were not contactable for me to use the cooling off period (which as far as I'm aware is a legal requirement)

I tried to cancel immediately and contacted Barclaycard within 2 hours of leaving the building, whilst the payment was still pending.
