   Considering it more, your converters are used to serialize to/from your API response.

   To solve my issue I just inherited from your models and hid the base members

       public class IntercomUser : User
       {
           new public List<IntercomSocialProfile> social_profiles { get; set; }
           new public List<IntercomCompany> companies { get; set; }
           new public List<IntercomSegment> segments { get; set; }
           new public List<IntercomTag> tags { get; set; }
       }
       public class IntercomCompany : Company
       {
           new public List<IntercomTag> tags { get; set; }
       }
       public class IntercomSocialProfile : SocialProfile { }
       public class IntercomSegment : Segment { }
       public class IntercomTag : Tag { }
   

   Then using automapper to map between

   Mapper.Initialize(config =>
   {
       config.CreateMap<User, IntercomUser>();
       config.CreateMap<Company, IntercomCompany>();
       config.CreateMap<Tag, IntercomTag>();
       config.CreateMap<SocialProfile, IntercomSocialProfile>();
       config.CreateMap<Segment, IntercomSegment>();
   });
   
   var users = new List<User>();
   # get users
   
   var mapped = Mapper.Map<List<IntercomUser>>(users);
   
   var converted = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(mapped);
   var deserialized = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<IntercomUser>>(converted);
   

   Kindof a workaround.. but it works well imho. This allowed me to re serialize / deserialize the models.

   You should consider removing the JsonConverter attributes and just use them during the serialization operation instead. I'll see if I can make some time and add a PR.

   Thanks!

   @SpencerWaz I'm running into the same issue that serialisation is generating an issue. Do you perhaps have an PR available?

   @MennoKlup Sorry for the delayed response.. this isn't my main account. I just moved on after using the workaround mentioned earlier.. but I suppose I can look into adding a PR later tonight when I'm off the clock.
