First, they claim that they are licensed by the NYC Department of Consumer Affairs. Check for yourself: https://a069-webapps12.nyc.gov/dca_new/index.cfm I couldn't find them. Can you? First bad sign.
Need more proof? Take a look at this posting on SAG's NYC site:
IT’S COME TO SAG’S ATTENTION THAT THERE HAVE BEEN POSTINGS FOR CURRENT SAG PROJECTS BY INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE NOT BEEN AUTHORIZED TO REPRESENT SIGNATORY PRODUCERS OF TV OR THEATRICAL PRODUCTIONS. WHEN IN DOUBT ABOUT THE SAG STATUS OF A PARTICULAR PRODUCTION OR CASTING DIRECTOR PLEASE CALL (212) 827-1553 DURING BUSINESS HOURS TO VERIFY LEGITIMACY.
Before going in for an ""audition,"" I called that number about the three projects mentioned by the person I spoke to at Actors' Reps (Arthur, Royal Pains & Curb Your Enthusiasm). They were NOT authorized to cast for any of them.
Fair warning, folks.
Pros: None. There Are Other, Legitimate Ways To Get This Work
Cons: Sleaze
