Reports on phone number 02071352078
4 yearsReceived a call purporting to be from a modelling agency. They requested a £50 payment that was supposedly "refundable" in order to secure a meeting with one of their agents.4 yearsI received a pair of text messages informing me that I’ve been approved with Polo Models-quite similar messages, mind you. Additionally, a chap named Ed left me a voicemail regarding the matter.Ed5 yearsI've had a similar experience with this number, and honestly, it feels like a right con! Be wary, folks!5 yearsI stumbled upon an advert on Instagram regarding opportunities for commercial models, so I thought I’d throw my hat in the ring. After uploading my photo, I was pleasantly surprised to receive an email and a text almost immediately. Soon after, I got a call from a chap named Ed O’Connor who was bubbling with enthusiasm. He congratulated me on making it to the next stage and went on about their studios in London, Manchester, Miami, Camden - you name it! Then came the catch: a £50 deposit to secure my spot. I have to admit, that raised a few red flags for me, so I said I'd think about it and would get back to him. He kept pushing for that deposit, but I held my ground. Ultimately, I managed to convince him I’d call back at a later date. A bit of digging brought me to this site where I realised it’s all a scam. When he rang back, I confronted him about the scam, to which he feigned innocence. Honestly folks, save yourselves the trouble - it’s a total con!InstagramEd O ’ ConnorLondonManchesterMiamiCamden5 yearsI got a call from what sounded like a modelling agency, or at least thats what they said. Pretty sure it was some sort of scam, felt off to me.5 yearsCheers everyone! After going through your comments, I've decided to block his number. I had a hunch it was all a scam.5 yearsI appreciate all the insights from you lovely folks! After going through the remarks, I've decided to block that number. It did give off major scam vibes, to be honest.5 yearsHave you managed to retrieve your funds? I've already handed over my deposit, but he seems rather reluctant to return it. Is there any way to resolve this?5 yearsHello all, I regret to share that I've encountered the very same person, going by the name Ed O’Connor, with an identical situation involving a £50 deposit. What truly rescued me was having a look at the online feedback and promptly reaching out to my bank to halt the transaction and get my cash back. Here’s a word of advice for anyone out there: Be wary of anyone requesting money for any business venture. Always do your homework before you dive into anything, and if something seems off or gives you an uneasy feeling, trust your instincts and steer clear!Ed O ’ Connor5 yearsI had paid up front prior to searching the number online, as I had a nagging feeling something was off. I’m absolutely baffled to read all these remarks! I had a conversation with Ed O'Connor, and he came across as rather suave and persuasive on the line-hard to believe that I, someone in sales, actually fell for it. I feel rather foolish, to say the least. Fingers crossed I manage to reclaim my deposit!Ed O ' Connor5 yearsI stumbled upon an advertisement online and decided to submit a photo. Shortly after, I received a call from a chap named Ed O’Connor from C M Models. He was exceedingly professional and went on about how impressed he was with me, expressing a keen interest in scheduling an appointment. He requested a £50 refundable deposit, which felt a bit off to me. Then, he casually brought up that a portfolio would set me back £1,099, mentioning we could have that conversation later on. There was something quite aggressive about his approach, and I felt a twinge of unease, so I claimed I didn’t have my bank card on me. He then inquired if I used internet banking and wasn’t taking “no” for an answer at all. He promised to give me a ring back at 14:00, but I promptly blocked him and did some digging. I’m so relieved I did; it turns out it’s all a massive scam! If you happen to receive a call from 02071352078, just steer clear - they’re up to no good!Ed O ’ ConnorC M Models5 yearsJust fell victim to a scam earlier today.5 yearsI received a call from 020 7135 2064 as well. I chose to let it ring out and went straight to the voicemail afterwards. When I listened to the message, I started to feel a bit uneasy, especially since I couldn't track down the agency on the internet and the email had found its way into my spam folder. A bit of digging led me to this site where I saw that others had encountered something similar. They were trying to get people to schedule an appointment and fork out a 'refundable' £50. The name given was 'Helen Harper'. Everything appeared to be quite legitimate at first glance, but I had to exercise caution; there do seem to be a lot of scams doing the rounds these days.Helen Harper5 yearsI was trying to find out more about a particular matter when I received a call from this rather dodgy number. The caller claimed I needed to pay for an appointment. Although I mentioned I was willing to settle the payment, they insisted on charging me per call. When I explained that I didn’t have a card, my instincts kicked in, and I grew increasingly wary. I ended up disconnecting the call and blocking the number. Please steer clear of such scams; these individuals are truly unscrupulous. Never part with your money before confirming the facts!6 yearsI received a call from Ed, who was remarkably courteous and professional. His proposition seemed almost unbelievable, so I was relieved to have searched for his number online and stumbled upon these reviews! Massive thanks for helping me dodge a £50 loss, everyone!Ed6 yearsAbsolutely avoid handing over any cash! I had an encounter with Ed O'Connor, and when I rang him from another number, it popped up as James Scott. It’s quite the operation they’ve got going, with numerous websites promising to kickstart your modelling career. They’ll entice you with a £50 deposit request. Agencies like Commercial-models and Lotus models? Just a classic con! It’s frustrating to see they’re still at it, preying on unsuspecting souls.Ed O ' ConnorJames Scott6 yearsBeware of this con! If you're aspiring to model, steer clear of letting these dodgy individuals profit from your ambitions. Don’t fall for their tricks!6 yearsI’m truly grateful for this website! I submitted an inquiry here and the chap on the other end seemed awfully persistent and rather dodgy. I was on the verge of parting with £50 until I stumbled upon this resource.6 yearsDid you make it to your scheduled appointment then?7 yearsI came across something called model guide or lotus model agency, and after searching online it looks dodgy. They keep switching their name around a lot. They ask for a £50 deposit, which they do give back when you show up for the photoshoot, but loads of people say they really push you hard to buy an expensive portfolio afterwards. Apparently it can cost over £2000! So yeah, watch out for this one!Lotus Model Agency7 yearsClaimed to be from some "lotus models" agency and were quite insistent about scheduling an appointment. Felt rather overbearing, to be honest.7 yearsJust don’t respond; it's definitely a con.7 yearsReceived a call regarding a modelling opportunity, but they wanted a £50 deposit upfront. I've decided to block the number.7 yearsI received a call from this number too, and surprise, surprise, it was much like what others have reported! However, instead of Edward O'Connor, the chap introduced himself as Edward Lotus-what a peculiar name, eh? Seems like a dodgy situation to me as well!Edward O ' ConnorEdward Lotus7 yearsThis is definitely a con! They’re requesting a £50 deposit upfront.7 yearsI keep getting calls from 0207 135 2096 and it's always the same folks, with the same pesky problem.7 yearsDid you manage to receive the 50 back?7 yearsMy daughter got a message asking for £50.00, and it raised a few alarm bells. I'm relieved I looked up ngtalent.co.uk and stumbled upon these comments. Just a little reminder-if it seems too fantastic, it likely is! Keep your wits about you!7 yearsI received an email from someone posing as a Model Agency, claiming they needed a £50 deposit to confirm a modelling job. It felt rather suspect, to say the least!Model Agency7 yearsI handed over some money today to individuals who were purporting to be from a modelling agency.8 yearsI recently received a text from this number saying, "Hello, it's Edward from NEXT GEN TALENT. Thank you for your application. I was impressed with your look, please call back urgently at 0207 135 2078. (DO read the email!)". Shortly after, an email popped up that seemed very professional, coming from Ed O’Connor, New Faces Manager, Next Generation Talent, with the same phone number and a link to their website. Not long thereafter, I had a phone conversation that lasted about 13 minutes. I had applied for a modelling opportunity, but the whole exchange felt quite odd as they requested a £50 deposit along with more photographs. I decided to do a bit of digging online, but couldn’t find any information related to this name or the company’s address. I’m sceptical about the legitimacy of this offer, but I’m grateful to have stumbled upon these comments regarding this number. I’ve chosen not to proceed with this proposal.EdwardNEXT GEN TALENTEd O ’ ConnorNew Faces ManagerNext Generation Talent8 yearsReceived a rather suspicious call meant for my daughter. The caller was absolutely racing through their words, and when we attempted to track down the phone number, we found no associated company website whatsoever.
