<prompt> Human: My girlfriend is interested in doing modeling. She recently submitted an application to John Casablancas in CT and got a call for an interview. She was really excited when she came home, but there were several things she was saying that was raising red flags to me. Here are some of the ones I remember: Interviewer was very high energy and excited. She got a tour of the building, during which the interviewer was talking as if my gf already worked there. Sounds similar to the putting the product in their hands approach of selling to me. She was accepted on the spot She was told she was perfect for the petite modeling. High excitement for how much potential she has. Only 24 models were being hired for the summer, she was 22! She got one of the last 3 spots! Earning potential was up to 400hr and they are very busy! Interviewer seemed to be setting an unrealistic expectation to my gf.Finally.. There is a 13 week required modeling and acting course. It is 150week. My gf paid a 450 signing fee before leaving the interview. She will be required to pay for make-up and other such supplies directly from the agency.It all seems really fishy to me, but I dont want to assume it is a huge scam with no potential right of the bat. I dont want to break my gf down about it.So my personal finance question is: if she goes to a couple classes and we determine it is just a big scam. Can I do a chargeback on my Credit Card for the signing-fee and any weeks of classes we have already paid for?Thanks!  <response>: So my personal finance question is: if she goes to a couple classes and we determine it is just a big scam.

Its shitty, but from a legal perspective, legitimate.Cut your losses.
