I am not sure what this company is up to but I am very skeptical to say the least. I was browsing the classifieds in the back of the East bay Express and found an ad for a company that was seeking extras for TV and movie work. I called the number and signed up for the work. A man by the name Ryan Renwick picked up the phone and asked if I had ever called them before. I said no I have not and he explained to me that they are a casting company that needs extras for TV shows. I said fine this would be fun work what do I need to do. He took my personal information and explained that there is a site that has my profile that casting agents look from to select people for extras work. He said there would be a one time fee of $58 and a monthly fee of $19 dollars to have my profile on the site. He took my all my personal information as well as account info. I agreed to this. He gave me a mailing address as well as his name. He explained to me that I am supposed to get my profile up in 24 hours and contact Talent Support to get a critique on my profile. He gave me a number for Talent Support. I contacted them just before Christmas and they said their Talent Support agent was not around and could I call back after the holidays. I said no problem. 2 days after Christmas I received a call from a Talent Support agent but missed the call. I tried returning the call and here's where I get skeptical. All the number I have for them now do not work. When I call the main number I get a message that's all circuits are busy" Same thing with Talent Support as well. When I call the number they have listed on their site I get the same thing as well. I am really nervous at this point. Not sure where to go from here as well.
