Recruiting online models is not true.

In 2019, Zhang Chunmei from rural Luohe City, Henan Province, went to Zhengzhou to work as a waiter in a restaurant before graduating from junior high school. Because of an accidental opportunity, Zhang Chunmei wanted to change her career to be an online model: "There were people handing out flyers on the road. I saw that no academic qualifications or experience were required, and it felt very easy."

Go to the website according to the address of the flyers. Zhang Chunmei, who was interviewed by a model recruitment company, was also required by the online model company to take a 1,500 yuan "model card" before she could join the job.

“The person in charge of recruitment was very good at talking, saying that 1,500 yuan could take a lot of beautiful photos. I said I didn’t have that much money, and their HR said I could pay half of the money first to take some photos, and the rest. It will be deducted from future wages."

Zhang Chunmei said that she paid for the photo shoot on the same day. "Because I was given a receipt and a photo album later, I thought it was a serious company. When I place a business order, I am told that there is no merchant suitable for me and I will not refund my money."

With no other evidence and no courage to tell her parents that she had done something wrong, Zhang Chunmei had no way to complain and could only admit that she was unlucky. But she is not alone.

“Another girl who went to the company at the same time as me also paid part of the money less. Then she took over an order. After the shooting, the company deducted all her salary and said she wanted to make up for the previous shooting. The fee was not enough, and I had to continue to make up for it in the future. The girl felt so bullied that she never went there again."
