It is a photography studio in London who are cold calling people based on numbers that have been given to them by previous clients. I know this as two of my mates went there to get some pictures taken and were told for every number they gave them, they would receive £1... they gave 200 numbers between them.

All of my friends have had calls off of them, and now we know that they are just cold calling we decided to have fun and mess about with them... get them all really excited, make them think your coming to London,  or do what my mate did and act as if you are really insecure and have a problem... very funny!

Enjoy!

Thanks, they just called me and I sent it straight to voicemail.  No more annoying people trying to pressure me in to feeling like inch thick make up and a photographer barking orders at me is going to enhance my self esteem . . .

Keep getting missed calls, I return the call and its constantly engaged. I researched the number and thank god I found this website. I wont be calling them again!

They are indeed a photo studio - they tell you, if female, that you have WON a makeover, if male, that you have WON a spa day - plus one free photo.  They entice you by saying you can get modelling work out of it, but no one that I know ever has. They normally get you to go up to London at short notice and they want your bank details over the phone!  They say this is because you have to pay £20 to ensure you turn up!  If you say no to the bank details they say that you will lose your 'prize' if you hang up and call them back! When you get to the studio they make you look lovely with caked on make-up and then persuade you to buy the VERY EXPENSIVE photos afterwards.  Don't get me wrong, the photos ARE lovely, but very over-priced in my opinion, and worse still, if you cannot afford them (hundreds and sometimes even over a thousand pounds)they want you to sign up to a credit agreement to pay for them monthly - thats why they ask you if you are over 18, not some other pathetic reason that they give for asking that.  They target young people who have aspirations of modelling work and have very friendly and familiar call centre staff. Please note that on GMTV this week they said that proper modelling agencies will NEVER charge to go on their books and you can send your own photos in.  You are better off paying a local portrait photographer for a portfolio of photos costing much less than this company charge and taking them or sending them electronically to proper agencies such as Storm, Elite and Bubblegum - who I know people have got modelling work from.  Hope this is helpful.

they just called me- i said hello and no one replied! thank god i found this site. thanks for your helpful comments otherwise i wouldnt have known who it was and what they are trying to do.

They have repeatedlt called me! I finally had the chance to answer it as I had missed their other calls and no one actuall speaks to ME personnaly, just voices that sound like a cal centre.

Had a call from this number yesterday, they said that i had entered a competition online or through a magazine and that i had a won a spa day for me & a friend. I told them it was nonsense and that i hadnt entered any competitions, they said you must have, i said NO & hung up. Glad i now know who the company is.

Keep getting missed calls. Very annoying.

Just had a missed call so rang them back and he was going on about how i had won a make over and telling me all about it and then wanted a deposit so i told them i would ring back - NO WAY am i giving my back details - they can jog on!! so glad i googled this!!!!

I just called them back, and a lady told me that my friend went there to have a make over and if i would be intersted.
I told them that i was too busy and not interested.
That was it.
I hope they wont bother me anymore.

I just had this call, wanted my bank details over the phone to secure my place, I kept asking that If I had won this prize why are they trying to charge me.
Then spoke to the supervisor who contradicted the first lady I spoke to!

Rubbish, got excited for a second thinking I'd won something!!

Caller very rude, I am not interested in having photographs taken so back off ! ! !

OMG OMG OMG, I am such a muppet, completely thought this was genuine untill I read this.  I even gave out my blimin credit card details, email address etc etc, I feel completely and utterly violated and I want my money back now!! The people who do this are disgracefull, they should be put in prison for scamming. Really NOT happy at all, any ideas how I can get my money back? I can't believe how stupid I have been!

How do they get people's numbers though? Scam scam scam

This company called me just now I answered and then they hung up.  As I am currently moving thought may be important so called back.  They advised I had won competition. What a load of bull I wound them up and told them I had 3 arms and a very deformed face and asked if they could still make me look beautiful. HA HA.  I previously got conned into this at the beginning of last year where they charged me £20.00 for the booking.  When I researched into this I found it was a scam and called to cancel the whole lot.  They advised that I could not have my refund.  I advised that I would be calling my solicitor to proceed with taking them to court if I did not receive a refund as I was well within my consumer rights to do so as I cancelled within 7 days.  I received my money back in my account the next day. Do not take any rubbish off this company.

they just called me.... dam so convencing... i googled the number and led me to this... so its legit but the pics are expensive... ummm is it worth a day out?

Just got this call aswell, asked upfront how and why I had won this competition...asked what the catch was...they did not seem very impressed...this site is amazing as had confirmed my suspicions...
Hope no-one gets scammed! xxx
