ok so im kinda getting actively semi scammed i think ?
Hey Gabi! Sorry to hear about your situation. Could you share a bit more about the scam? For example, how did it start or what kind of information or money has been requested from you?
first of all, im from romania, do you think you manage all laws?
Hey Gabi! While I can provide general legal information, I may not be familiar with all Romanian laws. However, I'm here to help guide you with general advice. Could you tell me more about the scam, like how it started or what was requested from you?
So it sounds like a modelin agency but the contract is really asymetrical, they dont hold any obligations or targets for their publicity outside of a website they claim to promote and i have like a ton of taxes. the weird part is that i was kind of recruited off the street and signed this in a bit of a rushed enviorment in an apartment that didnt really have logos
Case Rating: *
It sounds like your situation might involve a deceptive contract. Here are some general points to consider:
- Contracts should clearly define obligations for both parties.
- Recruitment should be transparent, especially if conducted in unusual settings.
- High taxes might indicate misleading terms or hidden costs.
Would you like to share more details about the contract or the agency? This could help in assessing any potential legal action you might consider.

Would you like to know more about how to find a lawyer or take further action?

Hey Gabi! It seems like you're dealing with a potentially unfair situation. While I'm not an expert in European law, here are some general points that might help:
- Ensure the agency complies with local and EU regulations.
- Consider seeking legal advice to examine the contract's fairness.
- Check for any consumer protection laws in Romania.
Do you want more information on consumer protection laws or tips on finding a lawyer?
there is a law, OUG */* that would kinda fit me and it would also dissolve this whole situation really fast
Case Rating: *
Hey Gabi, OUG */* is an ordinance that deals with consumer rights and can be beneficial in situations involving unfair contracts and deceptive practices. It emphasizes transparency and fairness in consumer contracts. Here are some steps you could consider:
- Review the terms of your contract under the guidelines of OUG */*.
- Ensure all costs and obligations are clearly stated and fair.
- Check if there is a cooling-off period or other consumer rights applicable.
- Consult with a local lawyer who understands Romanian consumer protection laws.
Would you like assistance in finding legal representation or more information on consumer rights under this ordinance?
i feel a little stupid ngl, but alas i guess ill see what i can do. i did take legal action tho, i made a statement/notificatio, idk what its called in which i invoked consumers laws about this situation and asked for the nullification of the contract
Case Rating: *
It sounds like you've taken a proactive step by invoking consumer laws to nullify the contract, which is great. If you wish to continue this route, consider these actions:
- Monitor for any response from the agency.
- Gather evidence of any misleading practices.
- Consult with a lawyer should you need further assistance or if the agency does not respond favorably.
If you require more guidance or want to find legal representation, feel free to ask!
