Photographic solar knot

Recently, Jiefang Daily Shangguan News Interactive Platform received a message from Ms. Zhao. She said that she had seen an advertisement for a part-time job model in the WeChat part-time group, and the high salary information attracted her to apply. However, during the interview in Room A, South, Building 2, Cao Yang Road 1040, Putuo District, the company mentioned that it was necessary to enter the venue with the Model Entry Card, and the shooting and production expenses were borne by the designated shooting agency at its own expense. After spending 8000 yuan, Ms. Zhao found that she could hardly find a job. The company only allocated two or three shooting activities symbolically throughout the year, earning more than 400 yuan.

On Baidu Post Bar, many netizens posted similar experiences. A netizen claimed that he spent 10800 yuan, imagining that the "director" could arrange the list of "the most expensive and upscale" as promised, but the so-called shooting task ended in vain.

Behind this, is it also a deceptive "routine"?

You can be a model at any age.

103,65438, the reporter tried to find a work platform in "58 City" and registered an account. There are several "model recruitment" messages on the home page, one of which indicates in the salary column that you can get 8000 yuan to 15000 yuan a month. Not long after browsing this message, the reporter's account received several messages, which were sent by manager Deng, the director of Shanghai cultural media, the recruiter of this message.

△ Manager Deng said that "you can sign up with or without experience".

He said, "We are looking for various models of racquet, but newcomers can work in Jing 'an, Shanghai. "It seems that I am worried that no one will apply for a job that requires high looks, such as' modeling'. Manager Deng also said that "there are hidden shots, hand models, foot models, local shots, middle-aged and elderly people, large size, free time, salary, experience and no, you can arrange shooting nearby", which makes people feel very excited.

Manager Deng sent his own WeChat directly in the message, allowing reporters to communicate directly with WeChat friends. The reporter told him bluntly that he looked ordinary, but Manager Deng said "yes". After asking the reporter to send his height and weight and a photo, he said "qualified" and sent an address to make an appointment for an interview that afternoon.

This Shanghai Yu Wei Culture Media Co., Ltd. is located in a commercial office building/room KLOC-0/508, No.357 Hengfeng Road, Jing 'an District. There are famous brands of companies at all levels under the office building, but 1508 is blank. After taking the elevator upstairs, there is no sign with the company name outside the room 1508. Only the front desk is marked with the words "Magic Capital Media", which has nothing to do with micro-entertainment. When she asked the front desk staff about the name of the company, she didn't seem to remember the name of her own company clearly. After thinking for a while, she said, "It's the company name written in the online recruitment information."

The decoration of the company is particularly simple, with a big room and four offices. The huge room is extremely empty, with some "model photos" hanging on the wall, three tables in the corner, and a fashion magazine on each seat of the table. There are already five people sitting at the table, as if waiting for an interview. The office is divided into artist coordination department, marketing department, director room and planning department. There are/kloc-0 people in the director's office and the planning department respectively, lying in chairs and brushing their mobile phones. The front desk led the reporter into the "Artist Co-ordination" room and sent the reporter a "Artist Personal Information" form for him to fill in. The word "Deng" is handwritten in the upper left corner, indicating that it is the candidate pulled by Manager Deng, and there is no company name in the form.

People in the hall take turns to go to the "marketing department" for an interview, each for about half an hour. While waiting, a personal data sheet said that a 57-year-old elder sister also applied. Going forward to chat, she said that she saw the recruitment information in the market and worried that she was too old to be competent for the job. When the staff heard this, they quickly stepped forward and told the aunt not to worry. The "photography agency" will teach you how to pose and shoot, and you can be a model when you are older. She deliberately took out a fashion magazine and showed a model photo of a silver-haired old man. Seeing this, my aunt seemed relieved and found a table waiting for the interview.

The premise of entry is to pay for "image photos"

An hour and a half later, it was finally the reporter's turn. The front desk sent the reporter's "artist profile" to the marketing office and called the reporter in for an interview. A woman in her thirties is an interviewer. In addition to a computer and several magazines, there is a thick stack of A4 paper on the desk of this "marketing department". In the center of the first line, it says "commissioned shooting confirmation".

After a brief talk about things unrelated to work, she asked the reporter to stand up and look at her figure. Even though the reporter wore a long cotton-padded jacket and couldn't see the details of her figure, she still showed great satisfaction. Seeing the completely blank work experience and acting experience in the reporter's form, she doesn't care that the company will teach you at work. "For example, how to put a poss, how to shoot a dress, and how to put a hat will guide you on the spot." As for the generous salary of this profession, the interviewer said that if paid by the day, there will be shooting tasks every day, and the income will range from 200 yuan to 800 yuan. You can get 1000 yuan for a catwalk. Besides, you can work full-time or part-time, and you have free time. You can take the task if you want, depending on your own arrangement.

As soon as the topic changed, she talked about the most important point. If she passes the interview, she should provide a set of professional "image resume photos", which can be taken professionally through professional makeup and modeling, just like art photos. The reporter asked, "Doesn't the image resume photo company provide it?" She replied, "You don't have to shoot it if you have it. If not, the company has a platform, but it does not provide free shooting. " "Do you want me to go out and find one myself?" "You can shoot on our side, but we have a cost and you need to bear it yourself."

In the second half of the interview, almost all of them are centered on taking "image resume photos". For the details of the "image resume photo", she is even more treasured, with three sets of clothes, including front photo, side photo and full-body photo, and can wear casual and Korean version. For the price, she is outspoken: the third-party photography agency charges 2000 yuan.

The interviewer stressed that the reporter's image and temperament met the company's requirements, so he arranged the next shooting and entry. "After the information is completed, the company will send you a copy. With this information, you can do it for a long time. "

If you want to join the company, you must have this "image resume photo". It's a bit embarrassing to spend thousands of dollars without making money. However, the reporter still expressed interest in joining the company.

Can you ensure order after taking pictures? Refuse to agree

Upon seeing this, she pulled out a page of "Confirmation Letter of Entrusting Shooting" from the thick A4 paper, filled in 2,000 yuan in the first half of the page and handed it to the reporter, asking the reporter to write "I have read it" directly and sign it. The interviewer found a QR code from behind the desk and asked the reporter to pay some money as a deposit. After paying, the reporter can go to the "photography base" to shoot according to the agreed time. Reporter scan code payment 150 yuan. The payee is not Wei Yu, but another "Bolewei Culture Media Company" with its registered address in nanqiao town, Fengxian District.

△ The confirmation letter of entrusting filming only has the reporter's unilateral name.

This Confirmation Letter of Entrusted Photography, which is similar to the payment contract, is only signed by the reporter unilaterally, without any company name, and even the name of the so-called third-party photography agency is not written, only the word "photography base" is used to express it. The reporter specially dialed the phone number of this photography base on the confirmation letter and asked about the name of the store. To the reporter's surprise, the staff prevaricated and couldn't answer. Finally, they even said that there was no name, that is, it was called a photography agency. In addition, the word voluntary is mentioned in many places in the confirmation.

The reporter followed the address of "No.2 Lakeside Building, 4 15": there are well-known brands in the lobby of the building, but as before, there is no corresponding store or company name in Room 4 15. Come to the door of room 4 15, there is no nameplate outside. Walking in are several independent rooms, but the overall area is very small, and the shooting room is estimated to be less than 30 square meters. A large number of clothes hang directly on the shelves on the corridor wall. At this time, a young girl who had just been put on by the staff walked into the shooting room. It can be seen that the makeup effect is relatively general. The reporter asked the front desk if it was necessary to shoot here, and the other party was sure.

△ "photography organization".

Just as the reporter was preparing to pay the final payment, the front desk said, "We are only shooting here, so you should contact the interviewer to pay." The reporter contacted the past, and it was still the same payment code, that is, the final payment was also paid to the "Bolewei" company.

Although the interviewer made it clear that he could receive filming work every day, the reporter made it clear to the interviewer before paying the final payment that he hoped to sign a work contract that could guarantee the minimum number of orders received within a certain period of time. For this reasonable request, the interviewer evaded the importance and even said that he would rather reduce the shooting cost, and "the company will pay half" without signing a contract to guarantee the order quantity.

Lawyer: The contract is invalid and may be fraudulent.

Strange things happen frequently in the whole recruitment process: the venue of the company and photography organization does not have any unit name logo, and thousands of dollars must be paid first to join the company. The receiving company is another company in the suburbs that has nothing to do with it. Both the artist information sheet and the confirmation letter of the commissioned filming only contain the unilateral information of the job seeker, and there is no guarantee that it will make money in the future. Is this another scam?

Ding Jinkun, a lawyer of Shanghai Dabang Law Firm, said after knowing the reporter's unannounced visit, it is doubtful whether a newly established company 10 has the ability to receive promised orders every day. If the interviewer fails to honor the promise of taking orders every day, it is suspected of false advertising.

Ding Jinkun said that the subject of this power of attorney is unknown and should be invalid. The interview company and the charging company belong to two companies and are two main bodies. "Bolewei" operation in different places must be filed, otherwise it is illegal. And even if it is operated in a different place, it cannot be operated at the same registered address as other companies.

For the content reflected in WeChat official account's message, "I paid 8,000 yuan and only earned more than 400 yuan a year." Ding Jinkun believes that merchants charge shooting fees under the guise of model shooting. In fact, the "model" hardly found a job and didn't pay any fees. This recruitment of "models" without actual photography business can be considered as civil fraud. Ding Jinkun suggested that the deceived person call the police. Whether it constitutes the crime of fraud in the Public Security Punishment Law and the crime of fraud in the Criminal Law requires further evidence collection, especially to find the fixed evidence of previous consumers.
