Why Don't Sites Learn?

Einstein said that it was insanity "doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."

What is it with sites that come across as escort sites or scam sites, but claim to be modeling sites?

Photographers and producers avoid them.

It's like "Duh, me so smart. I hide who I have so that I can go out of business..."

To repeat what was said some years back:

"Sites to Avoid

Since most modeling sites are actually trying to make money by getting work for their models, having no information up front indicates that there is something WRONG. It's an escort site or some sort of scam.

Or ID theft.

Some sites try to get a boatload of information from someone to supposedly see their models. Most are scams or escort sites.

Sometimes real modeling sites have tried to do that, but they don't consider this: most producers and photographers are not going to bother with signing up just to see what models a site has. There is no legitimate reason not to at least list the models by model alias and have a headshot at a minimum.

Many modeling sites do the latter. It's smart: it's selling the models to potential photographers and producers.

I pass over any site that doesn't say up front who they have modeling— it's probably just an escort site trying to pass themselves off as a modeling agency. (Never hire escorts for anything, business or personal. Escort sites are notoriously filled with stolen photos of real models and similar fraud.) Or they are a scam site. Or they are a site that is trying to pull some kind of a fast one. Either way, most producers and photographers are going to pass such a site by.

http://www.101modeling.com/ is a good example of a well-made website. Easy to navigate. Gives enough information for a photographer or a producer to make a decision and start the process. Models indicate what they will do. Contact information for the agency."
