The answer to your question lies in the question itself. I'm gathering that your lack of knowledge is due to the fact that you've never seen the inside of an agency. Suddenly, over the phone... you're qualified to be a scout. Never once booked a model... but you know what's gonna be the next hot thing? A real scout... someone who's not selling anything... works their way to the position. They don't place ads seeking scouts for real agencies. What you've got is a piece of a scam.

What's funny, is that even though there's actually a Wilhelmina office here in South Beach... a couple of these leeches have approached me about me being a model. Jokingly, I said "Do you think I can at my height (5'6)?"... one of the two idiots said " I just booked a 5'4 girl for Vogue yesterday." I called the director of new faces at the REAL Wilhelmina and told them what happened... I swear she sounded like she'd been hearing it all day. She's embarrassed... and God only knows if she's still working there now.

So let me ask ya this Christopher... do you want to end all possibities of working in the real industry right now? If so, attend the interview.
