I am just sick at my stomach and very heartbroken. Just yesterday I called them for information. Liz Kakara spoke with me from fashionrock. We spoke for an hour. She asked if I was ready for an interview, Ithought, why not.in the interview I told her I needed to call my husband and okay the "$1195.00" with him. She said she would hold. If I terminated the interview, I couldn't compete for another year. It had to be finalized now.
I tried calling him on a different phone, but he never answered. I continued with the interview. She said I "was phenominal"I played my demo cd for her and she said I was great. And I should compete. She made me feel very right about this. That I had it in the bag. Liz told me alot of success stories, pointing out through the website all the winners. I was so hiped. She told me it would be a one time fee of $995.00. OR, I could make payments of $199.00down and $199.00per month from February to July. I had to go with the payments because I, to be honest, I am poor. My daughter graduates in July, that means I have prom and a senior trip to Chicago from Texas to finance. I have 2 other kiddos.
I just didn't have the money. But, I was bigheaded and thought I could become a star through these people. I was told "100's" of producers and label holders would be there for me to have total access to. So, I thought it was worth the initial fees. She then told me my travel expenses were my own. And my husband would have to pay to go.$795.00 or payments of $100.00 per month. WOW! But if we couldn't afford for him to go, I would have to share my room with another contestant. How am I going to go a thousand miles and share a room, sleep comfortably with a stranger? Hopefully not a thief or killer or whatever. If I paid my full amount why do have to share with anyone? She said I could use my credit card and I told her I preferred to use my checking account.
I gave them the information, and they took the $199.00. She said I will receive a packet in the mail with all information. I felt good about this so far. BUT, today I got online to look for cheap travel to Orlando from Texas from ask.com. This consumer complaints came up. I was mortified! Instant sickness. I will cancel my account and start a new one. I was taken for $200.00. I read alot of people lost thousands. I am so sorry this happened to any of us and I thank God I didn't go further. Please let me know what to do now. I do know I will not go through with this. Thank you all so much for the information.
