The Better Business Bureau of New Orleans is warning consumers about scams that may be associated with beauty pageants.
Many parents spend thousands of dollars on pageants in hopes of launching their child's modeling career. But few people are discovered through these pageants, according to the BBB.Before entering a beauty pageant, parents should find out what the total cost of pageant participation is. Often family or business sponsors are asked to pay a sponsorship fee to the pageant promoter to cover hotel rental fees, awards, administrative costs, and salary for company personnel.
Before deciding to participate in such a competition, families should verify the authenticity of the pageant company with the BBB. For more information visit the BBB web site at www.bbb.org or call the local office at (504)¥581-6222.
