"We have discovered that this company has been using our trademarked name NEW FACES and directing people to look at our website at http://www.NEWFACES.com representing it as their own, in order for their "talent scouts" to get model hopefuls to purchase their products and services," said Hilary Rowland. "I want to warn consumers that The New Faces Development Center is not and never has been in any way associated with NEWFACES.COM."
