Total SCAM site... Avoid them like the plague. Caveat Emptor!

Recreation & Entertainment

I first familiarized with this Site about seven years ago... An online casting site? (Wow! And I didn't need an actual agent!) Lord, how naive I was.

Sure, I sucked in to their "membership". Only $11.95/mo. I could handle that! Uploaded a couple head shots, and my Resume. Was informed I would start receiving "detailed casting calls". Sure you can glance through the "free" site Castings, but there were Limited - and you could not "apply".

Right away I started receiving "casting" emails. Each time I opened one, I was merely rerouted to the actual web site "link". Which then rerouted me 2-3x times to the actual "link", instead of simply opening up to a page of legit audition info! And I could have done that by myself. The "link" turned out to be a very generic "casting" posting which including an area to "upload" your head shot - in very limited jpeg space (no larger than 80 kb!) That is a VERY TINY thumb shot! Just how does any legit casting director select you from that???

After about three weeks worth of email "receipts" (casting posts), I finally wised up. No, seriously... I am no industry "amateur". I just finally had enough of the 'experience' and posted a few complaints to their "customer service" board. Naturally, they were cool about it. Could not refund my $ as it was a monthly paid membership... Their excuse. Thank goodness I had subscribed only three months. I was out only $38.

The big red flag should have been the junk, amateurish "head shots" posted on their main page; 80% of which are unprofessional. And much like a prior member posting stated -ghettoish looking - And to top that off - they actually allow other Talent to "rate" each other! As if anyone, other than a licensed Agent, is qualified to rate someone else on a Casting site. What-ev.

So grateful I caught on to this scam ages ago. Scary thing is... They are still an active site (I just checked, about two months ago.)
