Talent 6
Deceptive business practices

I answered an add in a city newspaper under EMPLOYMENT. I called the add that said be an extra in the movies! Film companies are searching your area for talent and extras. No experience necessary!
I spoke with a Janet Luna who rambled on off a script of what this company could do for you. I was told that if I paid $1.98 one time lifetime fee for me to set up a profile to get me working. Then she went on that casting directors are always looking at the profiles and I have a chance to be seen by paying $39.00 a month to allow me to respond to the casting calls near my area. She told me the monthly access fee was optional and I had the first month free and could cancel anytime within the first free month. I did not agree to the monthly access fee, but to the one time $1.98 fee to set up my profile on their website. I set up my profile and the best picture I could come up with, in hopes that a casting director would see it first, was on the site for 3 days and then it was put in a file called "Just For Fun". I was told that it was too wide for the headshot. Which was wrong because it was a headshot. I applied to two of the casting calls near my area and nobody responded. Two weeks after that my checking account was withdrawn of 39.00.
I called the Talent 6 casting support line and said that I was wrongly charged. The man on the line explained to me that the first two weeks were free and I need to give it a chance. I than told him that I was dissatisfied with the headshot issue and he said that it was too wide to be put on the website. I then told him that I wanted to cancel my account and told him I was told the first month was free and that I had until Feb. 14 to cancel. He explained that I still need to give it a chance and responding to two leads was not enough, and then he patronized me by saying." well have you learned something?" I said "yes, not to answer adds in the employment section for being an extra in the movies... Cancel my service! You took the last $39.00 of my savings, I'm unemployed and your service will not get me unemployed any faster!"
He verbally cancelled my service for the next month and sent me an email that confirmed my cancellation. After that I recieved a Malware virus alert on my computer from the email. I still have not recieved a refund, but am watching for the next month bank statement.
Talent 6.. You may be still putting your adds in the newspaper under the employment section, but I have forwarded my dilemna to the media whom I have very good contact with, in my area - and if I get charged for next month, it's off to the attorney general in my state!
