I am a professional photographer who will be the first to tell you they are a scam. Do not waste your time , not even for one second to that pig who tries to make you believe she helps people.Walk in there Broke and Beautiful and see if you have a chance. Walk in there beautiful with money and you will be the talk of the day. walk in there ugly with money ...you will still somehow be praised. How could so many people be fooled by this disgusting, no style, overweight, loud mouth creature. Trust me she will get hers one day.God is good!

@Confused. What? They do not have a site?

No they do not have a site..so how do you think people are viewing your pics...THEY AREN't. Their site has been coming for a year now. Hundreds of peoples money down the drain...might as well sign up with Model Mayhem. Its $70 and you actually get work.

@Concerned. Please tell me what we can do to get our money back. I have not gotten my portfolio yet so I am pretty sure I can get my money back. Maybe we can all go together. Please let me know what I should do from here.Thank you in advance

I signed with them long ago and got nothing out of.  I spent almost $2k between pictures and singing.  After almost a year of nothing I stopped paying their stupid monthly service fee.  I recently was in the city and when I walked passed I noticed they were closed and out of business.  I looked in the door and saw all the old furniture there and boxes (I'm guessing full of files).  One of the neighboring buisiness' told me they didn't pay rent a couple months in a row and got locked out in the middle of the night by the landlord.  I'm worried because all of my credit card info is probably still in that place.  Not sure what if anything I can do.  Best to stay away from any business crazy alyica kaback is involved in

Hello oh gosh I applied on Craig's list for a casting call in feasterville Pa for the it factor production I am glad I couldn't be there today hearing now of this horrible treatment it even says on their website that you shouldn't have to pay for photos they should pay you for photos gosh the presentation was excellent its a shame they aren't legitimate they could make more money. I am a stickler for honestly, I won't be wasting my time

I am not sure if a site designed for telemarketing advice is full of individuals with the best of intentions meaning take everything here with a grain of salt most negative comments are being made by one or two criminal elements in Philadelphia and new jersey area because the business they are in is failing more info will be posted soon I am not at liberty to say. But I assure you the company is quite legitimate watch the latest videos or better yet followup with the clients directly

colbykmm.com site is active and fine I just logged in. Maybe had you just called spoke to your agent you would know where to go.

Trust me we lost money with them, it's a scam

They scammed me too :(

I cannot say enough bad things about this company and the people that work there.  How they can sleep at night, I'll never understand.  Kaback is the most vile person I have ever met in my life and I do not normal speak down about somebody.  All lies!

Everything I read about this place is bad.  When I started to type it in google under related searches it said "scam".  Easy enough for me to figure out

I found this and this is a perfect example of who your dealing with.  This company is trash

This actually explained a lot to me and is worth reading if you need to know the truth behind the scenes.

the same thing happened this past weekend! my daughter drove five hours and spent 2 nights to experience it.the only difference is they told my daughter that she'd be put on a " one yr call back list" what a joke! the 23 yr old Scout said it was someone else fault we weren't informed of the $800. fee and $38. monthly fee. she was told before the trip there that there was no upfront cost. liars and scammers

This actually explained a lot to me and is worth reading if you need to know the truth

They are actually Hosted Contact Solutions and use names like it factor and kaback because they already been shut down under other names

About a year ago against my better judgment I decided to go in n check it out.  First I was approached in the mall by a girl about 18.  She walked up and said, "you have great hair, have you ever thought about modeling".  Well as I said I was at the mall and I really didnt think my hair looked "great" at that moment but I listened and decided to give her my number n go to this meeting.  I wasn't very impressed with this lady that gave the presentation but got invited back the next day.  From what I read, everyone who looks like they can afford it is invited back.  At that time I hadn't done any research on the company.  I wasnt very impressed so far but i was off the day they invited me back so i figured what the heck.  So I go back and asked my mother if she wanted to come along.  We went together and we get taken back to a room where a white guy walks in and introduces himself as Ryan Colby and right away tells me I'm not what he is looking for but that Ms. Kaback might be interested. (Come to find out later the guy was not Ryan Colby, the real Ryan is a black guy).  So after a small wait this Alycia Kaback walks in.  Her dress was hideous and she was very overweight and first thought was how can a woman who dresses and looks like this be as important as they pretent she was the day before.  But I thought let me listen to what she has to say.  Well right away it turned into money and I explained to ms Kaback that I am 21 and just bought my first home and used a big portion of my savings for my down payment.  She began to scold me that I shouldn't put all my eggs in one basket and what am I going to do if something breaks at the house.  She tells me how she had her condo refinished and spent over $100k on it but she didnt recklessly spend all her money.  Right away I'm thinking, who are you and if your so important why do you only have a condo?  She asked me to put her very expensive fee on my credit card.  I explained that I only use credit cards for airlines and hotels and emergencies like my parents taught me.  She then asks my mom if she believes in me.  Of course my mom answers yes and right away ms kaback says well then are willing to invest in her career?  I interrupt and explain that this is not my career, I already have one and this is just a side thing for fun.  She continues to ask my mom to leave a $200 deposit.  My mom tells her she didn't bring that kind of money and left her credit cards at home.  At this point it is just plain old uncomfortable to have to listen to Ms. Kaback beg for money.  She even asked my mom what she would do with no money if we got a flat on the way home?  When my mother responds that she would call my dad, her husband, alycia then said, "well call him and see if he can bring $200 here".  I again interrupt and explain that I am 21 and I will pay for my own items, but that at this point I need to do research before I would be willing to leave any money.  She again scolds me that I should have done my research before I came in.  I had to flat out tell her that "at this time I am no longer interested".  She then tells me that I have wasted her time and that she wouldn't be interested because I came unprepared and how would I get to auditions in NY if I didn't even have $100 for her today.  So now she only wants $100 deposit!!! It was almost sad to watch this lady beg for money.  Again just so I could leave, I said your right I only have $50 until I cash my check (not true but I wasn't about to let this crazy lady know I have money).  I politely told her thank you and as we started to leave she said I could leave the $50 and a credit card number and after I go home and do my research I could then call back and tell her to charge the card for the rest!!! I honestly laughed in front if her, again said thank you and walked out.  As we left she was mumbling under her breath that we wasted her time.  Would you know, she called 2 days later and said she really believed in me and if I would just pay the $39.95 month technology fee, she would put me on the web-site.  I said no thanks and please don't call ever again.  I mean she really begged for the money and kept trying to get a credit card out of me.  It was such a scam.  Then to top it off I go home and read all these bad things about KMM and also how Ryan Colby Models is a scam too.  And then found out the guy who said he was Ryan, really wasn't!  Years ago I went to something similar when i was a teenager.   With the other company years ago they took a good look at me before they invited me back.  KMM Colby Models Didnt look me over at all before inviting me back.  The other company years ago had me go to a location right outside NYC had me read some lines into a camera in front of a group of people and then thanked me for coming in and I never heard from them again.   Never once did they ask for money!  At alycia kaback Colby models no one asked me any questions or looked me over.  For them it was all about money and trying to photocopy my credit card.  Well Ms. Kaback I'm 21 own my own house and don't have to beg for money, sounds like I am doing better than you.  You should be ashamed of yourself.  People do the research, it's out there.  She has a lot of sites that direct you to her fake reviews but if you do your research you will see that Kaback Models and Colby Models are a scam.  If you ever have the unfortunate chance to meet her in person the red flags will fly and you will see for yourself this shameless woman beg for $50.

Any chance you'd be willing to disclose a legitimate modeling agency ?

I line how this company says their new office is in "Northeast Philadelphia" and IT'S NOT EVEN IN PHILADELPHIA!!!!  HELLO...your address is Feasterville...THAT'S NOT PHILLY
