They go city to city doing this all across the country. First they will run hundreds of radio ads to attract as many victims as possible. They will list popular tv shows, mostly children's programs to attract families, and say that you will be auditioning for those shows. They also say that space is limited to the first 200 hundred callers, but when you get there you will see 200 people per audition time, and they usually do between 3-5 different audition times - this is one of their many lies and sales tactics. You will arrive, sign in, and then be ushered into a large hotel conference room with the other 200 people there. They give a pretty convincing speech that they are the people you want to know in order to become a professional actor, model, or singer, but if you listen closely they don't really tell you what they will actually do for you other than give you access to their website, which according to them, is used by top industry professionals to find new talent.
This is complete BS. Any legitimate agent or casting director will tell you that this is simply not true. The ridiculous part is how much they charge for access to this useless website. Prices start at $1900 for 6 months of access! Some of their "packages" go up to $8000! What are they providing to warrent such a large price tag? Absolutely nothing! There are legitimate websites out there in which you can search for REAL castings like: actorsaccess.com, backstage.com, nyccasting.com - just to name a few. They charge $20/month. Not the ridiculous prices these individuals are asking for. If anyone goes to one of their auditions, please do not get scammed! They will use flashy terminology, they will refer to technology and the future, they will talk about being dedicated and not holding back from pursuing your dreams, they will even pay to have a b-list celebrity of some sort there to attempt to create credibility, but it is all one carefully designed scam to rip innocent people off by feeding on their and their children's dreams. These people are smart, but they're also soulless! They don't care about who they hurt, they simply want to make money, and they do make a lot of money!!! After doing some research I also found that these people have been involved in other acting and modeling scams in the past. They just change the name, switch up the gimmick, but their formula for scamming remains the same! These people should be locked up, but they're clearly very smart and very good at not being caught. Even the name of their latest scam "Model and Talent" is impossible to search in search engines. Try it for yourself. Type in Model and Talent and you're only going to pull up local Model and Talent agencies, not the scam operation that you're walking into. EVERYONE beware!!!
