The FTC lawsuit was prompted by more than 2,000 consumer complaints The service also must return all uncashed checks to customers A telephone bill running into the hundreds of dollars was the first sign for many callers that they were being charged 9 million in bills to Connecticut residents to settle charges of deceptive practices The amount involved eclipses the record $215 million that Citigroup Inc The service represents about 1 percent of the former pay-per-call business, he said " During a deposition in June, Harris repeatedly invoked her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination, refusing to discuss a birth certificate that shows she was born in Los Angeles to American parents to stop using pay-per-call numbers to sell their soothsaying services, the Federal Trade Commission said Florida authorities have a civil case pending against the service's spokeswoman, Youree Dell Harris, known in advertising as the Jamaican mystic "Miss Cleo edu/ The government said operators made the calls last as long as possible by telling callers they would not be charged while on hold Moynihan said the companies still run a small subscription service where customers pay with credit cards to get psychic readings and Psychic Readers Network Inc â€â€?â€â€?â€â€? On the Net: FTC: http://www The settlement requires Access Resource Services Inc "It won't resume "I'm no psychic but I can foresee this: If you make deceptive claims, there is an FTC action in your future," said Howard Beales, director of the agency's consumer protection bureau 'Miss Cleo' Settles Federal Suit Nov 14, 3:51 PM EST WASHINGTON (AP) â€â€? The operators of Miss Cleo's psychic hot line agreed Thursday to cancel $500 million in customer bills to settle federal charges that the service fleeced callers while promising mystical insights into love and money It accused the companies of misdeeds including false promises of free psychic readings, tricky billing tactics to squeeze money out of callers and unrelenting and abusive telemarketing calls The service's business fell sharply after the FTC filed a lawsuit in February, he said "They're getting out of the business," Beales said Beales said during three years of operation the service charged people about $1 billion and collected half of it The two Fort Lauderdale, Fla Settlements also have been reached in Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin -based companies, which promoted a national network of "psychic readers" on television and the Internet, also must pay the FTC a $5 million fine Also in October, a Missouri court sentenced the service's two owners, Steven Feder and Peter Stolz, to probation and fines, resolving criminal charges of unlawful merchandising practices " Sean Moynihan, an attorney for the companies, said the businesses were not given enough opportunity to explain their practices before the lawsuit The FTC voted 5-0 to approve the settlement " In separate actions, the two companies agreed in October to forgive $1 99 per minute The agency said nearly 6 million people made such calls and were charged an average of about $60 The FTC also accused the psychic service of violating telemarketing rules by harassing people and making calls to those who asked to be on a "do not call" list agreed to repay customers in September to settle deceptive lending charges involving mortgages and credit insurance The agency said many consumers received up to 10 calls a day, usually automated messages telling them that "Miss Cleo had a dream about them and they should call back gov Florida attorney general's Web site: http://legal The FTC said the psychic service promised a free reading, but consumers calling a toll-free number were directed to a 900 number charging $4 Under the settlement, the companies did not admit to breaking any law but agreed to stop trying to collect money from customers who called the service and to forgive about $500 million in outstanding charges firn ftc It used to be that ONLY foreign models with blonde hair and blue eyes worked successfully in Tokyo By no means is this the last word on the subject BIG MONEY, however, is also made in tv commercials, posters and in the seemingly infinite amount of catalogues This, thankfully, is no longer the case It is probably the number one thing clients look for in models; clean, smooth skin The look is not "hard" (although sometimes required) (Hint: stay out of the sun For women, skin condition is extremely important Waist: below 25 And, generally speaking, the whiter the better During show season (March-April & Sept-Oct) taller guys are considered Take it as a guide that's based on a great number of past successes The Japanese absolutely adore "cute", so this part of the industry will always be in demand In this section, we'll take a look at the measurements and features generally expected from models to possess in Japan 0" (64cm) Hips: below 35 Height: 5'7" (170cm) to 5'10" (178cm) Bust: below 35 Popular roles are 'the teen', 'the boyfriend', 'the young father' and the classic 'businessman' Normally a clean, nice-guy and "handsome" type of image is what's sought after Nowadays, to win jobs such as these depends largely on portfolios and auditions Tokyo has become very competitive and although it is quite refreshing to know that it is way more open to new and different looks, the importance of proving yourself worthy at a casting, cannot be over-emphasized Although still predominantly a "white" market, a strong trend to becoming more multicultural is what this industry seems to heading towards Longer hair promotes versatility, although there are plenty of whom that work well with shorter hair Measurements (The following is the general range most models fall into During show season (March-April & Sept-Oct) taller girls are considered For more information on developing the right portfolio and preparing for castings in Japan see For guys, a clean-shaven face, strong jaw-line, neatly styled hair (that's not too long), a trim body(not too hairy!) and a solid book are what count 5" (98cm) For the "sweet" and "innocent" segment of the market, agencies unleash their young, fresh girls to compete for on-the-cover honors of numerous teen magazines and comic books ) Hair is preferred straight or with a slight wave, so make any neccessary adjustments if you have to In any case, for all men and women, great smiles are the ultimate asset, for the Tokyo market is about as commercial as they come And age? Well, some girls arrive to Tokyo as young as 14 but most are between 17 and 24 Measurements (The following is the general range most models fall into Ages vary from 17 to late 20s and early 30s 5" (90cm) and no larger than a "B" cup Height: 5'11" (180cm) to 6'2" (188cm) Chest: below 39" (100cm) Waist: around 32" (81cm) or below Hips: below 38 5" (91cm) The reason for these particulars is simple; the model must be able to fit into Japanese sized clothing! These are not big people were talking here, so size is important and many times as important than the model's actual look As for color, stick with blonde to dark brown and leave any shades of red at home |
