Here is the story:
I filled out a card and dropped it into a box within my local mall. Within roughly a week I received a call asking for me to come into the mall, in front of Macys for an audition. The entire audition portion in which I was actively auditioning and not watching a video or getting a pep-talk was about 45 seconds. Say one one line into the microphone, walk to the end of the short catwalk, two poses real quick, one pose back at the end. That's it. I was approached with a score card out of an advertising book promoting Audition America. Told I was "perfect for print" and asked to pay three installments of $99 for a photo shoot they would like to do two days from then at 4:15pm central time. I gave them my card and finally Googled them after the afterthought that it seemed... Rushed, and amateur. Couldn't find a site, couldn't find a business report and the few things I could find where not encouraging. A question on yahoo answers asking if it was a scam, etc.

Well since my card was swiped its already hit my bank account, but I had my card canceled so no further charges can go through. I tried calling the number provided, but repeatedly got a recording that the number was disconnected. I tried their main line provided here: http://www.auditionamericatour.com/contact_us. Aspx
This lead to a random woman in Georgia, USA who had received several calls of my nature. I gave her the central office number I used to be provided her number so she could have herself removed.
I suggests STRONGLY that ALL take caution with this company. Despite the well-played facade, they are NOT a legal or legitimate company.
