This agency is advertising in Backstage for new talent. They will only represent you if you pay them over $600 to have them post your photo and bio on their website. Never mind if you already have photos web-ready.
You must pay this fee. They will not represent you the standard way—with headshots, resumes, and composite cards. This agency is not franchised by any of the professional acting unions.
This practice is illegal according the the New York Better Business Bureau:
"No legitimate agency takes an advance fee, which is sometimes called a "registration fee" or a "consultation fee." This practice is prohibited in the state of New York by New York General Business Law Section 396-n."
