Anderson exposes the shady side of the modeling industry and how easily people can are scammed into paying lots of money in hopes of making it big.

Anderson welcomes a group of aspiring young models who allege that they were scammed by a man named Aristeo Tengco.
Sandra, a mom who has been living at the Oakwood Apartments in Burbank, Calif. for the last seven years with her 14-year-old daughter, Megan, admits she spent about $160,000 trying to launch Megan's career.
