It all started in June while we were shopping at Target, a lady approached us and told us me that they are searching for talented kids and they will be having an audition in the above mentioned facility in Clairemont Mesa. We went and my 5 year old daughter was given a short line to say in front of the camera. After 2 days we heard from Leah Ngo, saying that we need to come in since our daughter made it thru the audition, and both parents are needed. We went and we were told that we will be watching a video of what Be Production is about and their connections to the Hollywood people etc. Then we were asked to go to a room where we met Leah. She went ahead and told us that there is a membership fee and and we have a choice to sign her up for either 5 years for $5000.00 or 2 years for $2500.00, that we will have access to acting classes, singing classes, and modeling, and that we will be able to post on their website and talent agents log on to their website to find talent, and to later find out that there is also a fee to be on their on website. She also told us about their show on CW called "Be Boppin" and that if we sign up our daughter will be in the show for the November showing, but this never happened These are huge amounts of money and we told her that we dont have it. So she went on and on about what about supporting our daughter and that we can try them and that what she can do is sign her up for 1 year so we can just try them... To make the story short they got us for a year and we signed our daughter up for a year, we paid $1200.00. We were scheduled for a 6 weeks acting class which we also have to pay $25.00 per class thru Rising Star. On November 16th, there is a showcase where 4 or 5 talent agents from Hollywood will be in their office and we were supposed to audition for that. I got an email from their scheduling department last month saying that we are signed up and they will be emailing us of our time slot. I waited and emailed them about the time slot and never heard from them. All day today I have been calling my talent agent and their scheduling department and no one answers the phones. So lesson learned and an expensive on too. My advise to whoever reads this complain, DO NOT SIGN UP WITH THIS COMPANY, THEY JUST WANT YOUR MONEY... That is all... And beware of leah ngo, she is a sweet little lady that sounded very sincere, but i guess she is just like the rest of them. This is not the end of my complain, i will be calling tv stations about this company, and i will not stop until they are exposed.
