              I went through an audition for a modeling agency and was not given an option to think it over and decide if $3000 made sense being that I hadnt heard of them. After asking my scout/director what I could do about it being that I was unable to afford the classes. She told me to reach out to the help desk and ask for assistance or help. To which they informed me that they are not able to help at all and to consider cancellation. In the fine print of the cancellation form that I could get a full refund had I not attended the class. I called and asked for a refund and what I could do and was told to email the client services and ask to terminate my account and I have not heard anything back. So not only am I out $320 for signing up but also unable to pay and not getting a refund for the services I was never given such as headshots/makeup/hair.

              These people are criminals. I feel so stupid for engaging with them; they are excellent at showering people interested in acting o modeling with complements to take their money for "training" only to deliver power point presentations. It is difficult calling them a "scam" because they deliver sacks of c*** and call it model/actor training. They are low, and make me believe in a higher power that delivers justice I cannot. Lastly: despite already satisfying the payment owed on separation, they sent my name and address to *********************************** My credit score is over 750. I pay my debts. These people deserve that special place below.

              We have reviewed Mr ********* review and find it interesting that he makes comments concerning the content of the training since he only attended the first class and never came back.  How he could determine its all just power point presentations and "sacks of crap" after attending one session is beyond us.  We are sorry things didn't work out for Mr. ********* and wish him the best of luck moving forward.

              Since you only attended one class of the program it is difficult to understand your assessment of our entire company.  Each person has the opportunity to contact our ************* Team in order to have any issues addressed. We wish you the best moving forward
