    First of all, no agency will ever call you unless you have first submitted your photos (headshot and full body shot) and measurements to them

    Second, if you are under 18, no agency will ever speak to you directly as they can't -- they can only speak to your parent or legal guardian

    Third, there are literally hundreds of legit agencies out there but without knowing where you live it's impossible to name them. Agencies will only consider you if you live less than 100 miles from their office

    Start with the Models.com directory http://models.com/agencies/Modeling where you can sort by location. All of the Featured Participating and Participating Modeling Agencies are verified to be legitimate

    I have never heard of the company you mention but the first thing that comes up in a google search of the company name is:
