My wife heard a commercial on one of the local radio stations here in Madison NC that auditions are being held for kids that may be interested in acting and modeling (they used for example Hanna Montana show) this was to get your attention, I guess. She called the # and got thru and they gave her the time, location and date. The auditions were held at the Mariot Hotel in downtown Greensboro NC, there were hundreds of kids and parents there. My Child did well in their audition, a talent scout was there and told my wife and I that he would contact us if our child passed. We received a phone call on Monday April 7th stating that our child made it and had the potential to be a great actor or model, we were told to come in and do the paper work to get them enrolled in the academy. They also told us that they were looking for normal kids!
My Child went to their first class of a 6 class session. (1 scheduled each month) at the Sheraton and everything went well there, they got their home work and was told to practice their lines & how to act in front of the camera, the instructor there kept telling us that the kids were great and would have a good chance of landing a job once they were done with the classes, everything looked legit at the time, then we received an email on May 30th informing us that the Agency has run out of money and are in the process of filing for bankruptcy. They also had mentioned that we would be notified in this takes place.
We were also suppose to have been contacted by PMAA for our child to have their photo shoot taken. We sent emails and they kept saying in a week or two.
My wife has emailed, contacted by phone and no one will answer, their mailboxes are full (they tell you to leave a call back # and she did).
This is very, very disappointing and especially to the childern that are involved. We will do what we can to get our $ back and hope and pray that this does not happen again and help others to be aware. We have learned a very expensive lesson. Please help us get our money back!
What is this nation coming to, you can't trust anyone anymore!
Thanks
