We live in Atlanta, GA and saw a commercial for an audition for Hanna Montanna on a Disney commercial. My kids were so excited! It stated that the first 200 people who called their number could have an audition slot. When we arrived it looked legitimate at first but we were soon told something to the effect of that "only five percent of the kids would get accepted, and those who did would have to sign up immediately for expensive classes (starting at $1950)." By the end of the morning we had serious questions and were very concerned about the disingenuous way they lured hopeful kids and families who believed they were having a fair audition, in a bait and switch operation that tricks kids and families to fork over large sums of money. What was incredible is that they gave no information about where the classes were located but wanted parents to be available the next day to meet them again in person and pay for classes! We are supposed to call today to find out if we are "accepted" and I don't plan to. I have since found the complaint issued on this site about this same group from someone in Providence. I hope that this group will be exposed so that families do not lose more money to such dubious groups.
