Tru Talent modeling agency in Utah = Scam?

What's worse? Me paying 2 grand for some performance shoes or marcus paying 2 grand for sex (more than likely with a male or an animal like a pig, goat, or llama) and being charged with a felony?
 
On a serious note, it's a tough business for aspiring models and agencies. I don't have a problem with the public approach. Did they require her to purchase photography or classes? Models have to have comps or a headshot at minimum, but the industry-wide rule of thumb is legit agencies never require you to purchase from them.
Well, I mean, read the link I posted above, KSL revealed that it's a hoax. They did require her to purchase classes, and they have a few auditions, but nothing really beyond that.
 
So this girl I've been dating for a while revealed that she's a model and how excited she is about it. I asked what agency and she said, "Tru Talent".

I had a memory from a year ago of being stopped by a talent agency at a trax station asking if I wanted to model and I laughed in their face, obvious scam. Well, I did some research and:

... damn. So do I have to break it to her that she's not actually a model? Or can someone actually succeed through this "agency"? :/

Dang. This sounds like it could be a bad situation all the way around. I have some ideas on how you should move forward but it's necessary to first see a pic of her. So yeah, pic.
 
Seriously though, I'm assuming there's a BBB you could call out there to get some information on this agency and see what they're all about. That and do an internet search.
 
Hell, I just typed Tru Talent into google and the word scam immediately popped up in the first line on the drop down box.
 
I did do a search on BBB.org, it's not an accredited business.

But HOW do I break it to her, KrazeeEyezKilla? This is like shattering her dreams and revealing she had her money stolen, that's pretty heavy ****.

How about a big old carp?

At least I'd get something for my $2k
