Trans Continental Talent
Don't get suckered in If agents want you THEY WILL INVEST IN YOU NOT YOU INVESTING for them to invest in you rip-off

I just wanted to take the time to thank you, in writing, for all of your efforts in making the general public know about rip-off artists, namely Trans Continental Talent.

I was "scouted" two days ago, and had an "appointment" to go to 389 Eighth Ave, 13th floor in NYC on the corner of 39th street, for an open call. I knew that this wasn't kosher when my appointment was at 6:15pm and I got
there early, only to be told to "come back at 6:15".

When I re-arrived at 6:10, there was a line of people halfway down the street, mostly around the ages of 21 to 25, a few older, but not many (I'm 31, but I look much
younger)

Upon going inside, there are a number of people smiling and directing you to different areas of an open space, another tipoff, because the office space did not at all look "lived in", just a ton of chairs and maybe 5
desks stragtegically placed in this open space. The application asks for you personal info (name, address, telephone) and check boxes to choose if you want to be model, actor, or musician, and if you had any experience.

I checked the box to be a model, and after being called, I was photographed, two headshots and a body shot. A half hour later, came the "pitch".

Everything that was already said on your website concerning this company is true, true, TRUE!!! The only difference is, it is not $400, it is an
$800 startup fee, and $20 monthly access! I am personally disgusted that I fell for this, and attended such an "appointment" I ususally have an antenna to detect BS, since I am born and raised in NYC.

I could have been ripped off as well, only I know people in the entertainment business. I am personally embarrased that I fell for this, but that is what happens when you are seduced by your own vanity.

For all those who read this, remember one thing, an

Agent's only job is a middleman who invests in you, to

Make money for you (minus their 10 or 20 percent fee)

For finding you work. If they really want you, and

Think your "talent" is marketable, they will be willing

To front their own money, since they know that there

Will be a definite return for you and them. If you

Need to fork over hundreds or thousands of dollars to

Get a gig, then why pay more to an "agency"?

And again, GOD BLESS YOU usacomplaints.com! Keep up the

Good work.
