Any site making you pay to see job offers/auditions, etc are generally scams. Any real agency should be taking a commission after you get booked on a job, not charging you to find out about job offers. And the reality is, almost no companies look on random websites for models - they contact local modeling agencies. The problem with websites is that nobody can vouch for the fact that your details are real, that pictures isn't 10 years old or completely retouched, or if that's even you. What's to prevent anyone from posting a picture of some 18 year old unknown Estonian model they found online, getting booked on a job, and some 28 year old woman who is 5'2'; and 180lbs shows up? That's why companies don't scout for models online - there are too many fake profiles, too many people lying about thier age/height/weight, etc
