After talking with them and finding out they wanted close to $500 dollars from me for a membership fee and head shots, I went online to do some research and found out that these scams originated in Los Angeles and have been around so long that people there are wise to them, so they moved to the northwest to continue scamming people with hopes of modeling and acting. I would be curious to know their success rate...which I am pretty sure they would not share truthfully. When she called me to tell me we had been "selected" I explained that things were tight and I would have money in January to get my child enrolled, she said she would "speak to the accountant and see what they could do for me" and get back to me. She just never called me back and after reading what I did online I am glad I did not give them a penny. I probably wouldn't have anyway after what I found out about how talent agencies are supposed to operate. So my advice...DO NOT GIVE THEM A PENNY!!!
