ABSTRACT:
They claim you can earn $100's per day as an extra, but most jobs they post are for NO PAY! They charge $45 for letting you post pictures of yourself on their website, and $19.98 per month to view all the non paying acting jobs, which are mostly for female models/future porn stars! They claim you can reclaim the $45 picture download fee, but use their loophole by having a casting director send you a message, which allows them to avoid paying you back the money they swindled from you.
Thanks for taking over $100 from me!!!
BODY
I signed up by answering one of those ads, "Earn up to $250 per day as an extra." I called them up, the man proceeded to ramble through how they operate and quickly stated their disclaimers for keeping your money.
They charged $45 just to set up a portfolio with them (i.E. Just download some pictures of yourself to their website, not much for $45!). I was told that this $45 would be refunded after three months if I was not contacted by a Casting Director. I figured, why not, working just one day, earning only half what they claim ($125) and I would make out.
But the man on the phone also flew through the part about charging $19.98 PER MONTH, to use their website! Anyway I decided to continue through to the three month window, hoping that I would get something from this website before I could recover my $45.
Boy Was I wrong for thinking they could help anyone earn money. The problem is that most of the so called acting/extra jobs are for NO PAY! Furthermore, most casting calls are for Female Models.
I never got a response from ANY of the casting calls I applied to, which were hard to find, because I wanted actual PAYING jobs!!!
And then sure enough, almost like clockwork, a couple weeks before my three months was up, a so-called casting director contacted me. The problem is he was looking for a middle eastern male in his 30's, which I am not! I got another contact a week later, wanting a Hispanic male, which I am far from too. But they justified charging me the $45 based on a mass message sent to everyone to join a talent show!!! So, now I was out over $100 dollars due to this deceptive stipulation.
Don't let them cheat you! You won't get your money back, they will have a message sent to you for something so generic, that you will lose your $45, just like me. I lost over $100 over the three months! What A SCAM!!!
