THIEVES! SCAMERS!
I figured I was not the only one they owed money too! I did work for them back in November 2012 and still have not received a cent!!! They owe me $1400 like come one... The photographers pay the agency for the shoot within weeks so why is it that it has been 9 months and I have seen nothing???!???! I googled the agency and Sean is known for many scams and from what I have read his real name is Shazah Zadi.... EVERY FREAKIN MONTH/WEEK I AM PROMISED MY PAY! HAVE I EVER RECEIVED IT? NO! Sometimes he even tells me to talk to his "receptionists" because he left the pay with them! Each and every time I've talked to the receptionist she knows nothing about whats going on. PEOPLE PLEASE DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE SIGNING ONTO A SCAM AGENCY LIKE THIS!!! THIS AGENT MAKES YOU PAY $600-700 FOR COMP CARDS AND PROMISES YOU WORK... YEA HE WILL FIND YOU AUDITIONS AND LAND YOU JOBS BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY WHATS THE POINT IF YOU ARE NOT RECEIVING YOUR DUES FOR YOUR WORK? HE IS LIVING OFF COMP PAYMENTS AND HARD WORK PUT IN BY HIS TALENTS! DO YOUR RESEARCH PPL!

Bull
I still haven't been paid for work I did in 2011. Every time my cheque was "lost" in the mail. How can a cheque get lost in the mail 3 times in a row? LIES. Then all of a sudden when I start to get pissed off, they have to go to court because Sonia stole my money? What BS. Worst decision I ever made.

DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE BELIEVING ONLINE BULLIES
I have been with this agency for 4 years. I have seen a lot of bull shit written on them. I have done numerous projects with them. I have been paid late for projects but that's apart of the business. An agency can not pay you with out being paid by there client. If they were a scam agency why would there talents face be on the cover of TIME MAGAZINE recently ? I am just trying to defend my agency. They are not associated with any other agency. THey have proof of work! I am more then happy with them.
All you guys that have recently wrote a complaint message me if it is a real complaint directly and I will speak to my agent and make sure this gets resolved. I am currently working on blog that helps new models and actors that are joining the industry.
DO YOUR RESEARCH ON THE AGENCY GO TO THEIR BLOG HTTP://MMODELS.TYPEPAD.COM
ALSO CHECK OUT THE WORK THEY HAVE DONE! DON'T BELIVE SOMETHING WRITTEN ON THESE BOARDS ALOT OF AGENCY'S HAVE BEEN EFFECTED BY FALSE COMPLAINTS.
PLEASE DO MSG ME IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS AND I WOULD LOVE TO ANWSER YOUR QUESTIONS!

Great PPL
I looked at this site before going in to the agency,I had an interview 2 weeks ago with their agent. He was quite professional and up front. I asked him proof of work and he did show it to me. I signed up with the agency I paid for my composite cards . They paid for my portfolio shoot and acting training but i had to sign a exclusive contract which i didn't mind. I went to every other agency in toronto and found all these agents are charging for courses and portfolios. I will make sure I keep a look on this site and make sure ppl don't try to tarnish the agency that gave me chance in this industry.

CYBER BULLIES MODELING AGENCY
I am happy with m models and i want to let you guys know this agency has the right clients and agents to get you project.
and M Model has noting to with other agencies! These posts are created to tarnish the name of M Models. If they were a scam how can there Model be on the cover on TIME MAGAZINE as well they recently just did the coca cola print ad. There is tons of same complains on other agencies such as Oranage Models, Max Agency , Carolyns , Ca 7 which all do get projects just like M Models. The internet does not have cyber police. Anyone can write anything on the internet about businesses. Don't get fooled look at the proof of work on the agency.
Here is a link to a news paper article that talks about the time cover:
http://www.hamiltonnews.com/news/stoney-creek-resident-on-the-cover-of-time-magazine/
I am sick of people just creating nonsense about this agency because they are getting work. I have done enough research on them and found every year someone comes with a new thing to write about them. They have been around for 5 years now. Here is a new letter from them that recently came out:
http://www.i4u.com/2013/10/time-magazine/and-talent-models-worlds-largest-companies-m-some-agency-supplies
M Models has built a great agency around two basic principles: diversity and customer service. This paradigm has been paying off with some of M Model's recent work: Snickers candy bar, a Time Magazine cover, Coca Cola print ad and a Mega Bloks Barbie (commercial). With work in print and video, M Model's people have been highly visible and increasing the beauty of the world. More information is available on their website: http://www.mmodels.ca
"It has been an honor working with some of the young men and women that we have been able to represent lately. They have been winning some excellent contracts and have really been stepping it up. We pride ourselves being a great agency to work for and the work and loyalty of our models is the testament to our success." -M Models Management
M Models is dedicated to fulfilling the needs of magazines, video production companies and artists. With a diverse portfolio of talented models and actors, M Models is able to supply a great person for every project. Their portfolio includes models of many sizes and from every heritage.
Being a modeling agency that is geared towards providing local and international assignments, M Models and Talent thrives on the diversity that our multicultural society has to offer. The management says, "In a competitive industry such as here in Toronto, we are always searching for models and talents that have a strong look and a certain edge about them. Essentially, it is these qualities that set them apart and make them stand out in front of our clients and casting directors." Their models have worked with some of the most well-known and respected companies across North America such as, MTV, Bell Media, Blackberry, SPC, Virgin Mobile, Scotia Bank, TD Bank, Much Music, Roots, Subaru, Visa, Target, YTV, Mattel, Marc Anthony, LCBO, Patron and Labatt to name a few.

False compalints
Hi Hatemmodel :
I am a booking agent from M Models and Talent Agency. If you are real person contact me at 416 572-3919 . You sound more like a competitor. Ever since we have done the time magazine cover all compeitiors have been writing all sorts of stuff. M Models has noting to do with other agencies. We have have been around for 5 years now and will be around for money years to come!
We recently took out a news letter that mentions about cyber bullies:
M Models Cyber Bullies:
The film and television industry can be very competitive; this plays a prominent role in business and in cyber bullying. The Internet can be the easiest way to spread rumors and false data that can potentially wreck a business. We see many false statements about clients, agencies, talents and models and it is a constant battle between both parties. It is one way to be or try to be on top; constantly putting them down. It is very childish and wrong; if an agency can provide proof of work and has been running for several years, why believe someone else that could possibly be starting a conflict.
We can proudly say that our models had the pleasure of working with some of the most well known and respected companies across Canada such as, MTV, Blackberry, SPC, Virgin Mobile, Scotia Bank, Much Music, Roots, Subaru, Visa Coca Cola just to name a few . We invite everyone to visit our blog to find proof behind this statement and see more projects we were involved with: http://mmodels.typepad.com/ .
As well M Models And Talent Agency has contacted the Competition Bureau of Canada and have been told how to handle these competitors in a legal manner.
Please read the article below:
http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-505124_162-57604334/fake-online-reviews-not-likely-to-stop-after-fines/
"New York’s attorney general Eric Schneiderman announced Monday that 19 New York-based companies have agreed to pay hefty penalties and stop writing fake online reviews — many of which have flooded consumer review sites such as Yelp, Google and CitySearch."

SCAM FORSURE
for the people like TOM134 M&T model is a scam and you probably made up a fake email and actually work there so you could try to boost up their rep. Are you so gone that you dont realize the power of social media. No talent agent actually charges. NO ONE. In fact, they will send you out to get your comps and pictures. The photo copyrights are that of the photographer and person in the photo. So There is way to much negatives for this company than positives and it has certainly been proven by Market Place that fake reviews can be made up by anyone and you have to listen to the negatives before the good ones. Keep sharing everyone. Shame on this company and anyone else that tries to steal yes steal money from kids or adults that would like to enter into an industry that is very tough to get into.

Tired of fake reviews
Hey 1lifetolive,
I am actually one of the employees at M Models. Your absolutely right about fake reviews. We have been battling with fake reviews since 2009. If our agency is that bad of company why are we still landing jobs everyday since 2008. Just this month alone projects like Drake's Music Video Energy, Pan Am commercial, Scotia Bank Print ad, Chapman's Ice Cream Commercial and many more. Our agency cover the cost of the portfolio, registration fees and courtier fees. All the projects are talents are landing can be viewed on our blog and Facebook page:
http://mmodels.tyepad.com ,https://facebook.com/mmodelsandtalent?ref=bookmark
This sure does look like a competitor wrote this. If you have any questions or concern contact our office directly at 416 5723919.
Regards,
Natalie M.

M Models and Talent Agency Toronto Scam - M Models and talent Agency is a ripoff!
PLEASE DO NOT SIGN UP WITH THEM.
M Models is a scam! Right after I paid the 700$ they asked for the comp cards, I didn't hear back. I was working with Sean M AKA Uzi Zaidi AKA Mike Herts AKA Saroor Hassan Zaidi AKA Shaza Zaidi(who is the owner of M Models, and a drug addict and a professional scam artist) promised that I would be getting calls about auditions and other stuff at least 2-3 times a week so after not hearing anything I was having second thoughts. I hope and pray that no one falls for this and give away their hard earned money to these vultures who prey on the innocent. If your reading this then take my word, before paying M Models and Talent agency I did come to Google to look for reviews but unfortunately 95% of the reviews are fake and are written by the owner himself by opening multiple fake account(how can I tell?- the language is the same is all the reviews, how they are so upfront, how they show their proof of work, bla bla bla). I went against my gut and thought it was not true but trust me they are big time SCAM ARTISTS!
I hope Karma will take care of them.
More info I've learned from permitted agencies:
-If the agency likes you, they will cover your costs and won't ask you to pay a penny
-Comp cards don't cost $500-800 ..1 comp card is only about $1.50
-In case u do go, try refusing to use their comp cards and see how they react
-don't be fooled by all the picture they have up on their walls and on their desks
-A 15 minute photo-shoot NEVER costs more than $200 especially if it's shot by an in staff photographer and shot with natural lighting.
-DON'T BE SCARED to ask STRAIGHTFORWARD QUESTIONS ABOUT THEIR COMPANY'S BACKGROUND and other details if you do go.
-Lastly if you think they have lack of professionalism, quit right away and just walk out the door . They have no right to stop you from making your decisions. Don't fall for their traps and beware of the way they talk (using big names and expensive trip details, which they say are going to cover the costs and stuff to back up their arguments)
PS- I had to open a fake account in google as Sean M harasses the shit out of the people who write real reviews :)
