Carlolyns Model and Talent misrepresented themselves and defrauded me under pressure.
I'm a Widowed 23 year old Mom of 4year old twin boys. I was in a store in my neibourhood when a nice lady aproached me and said how adorible my twin boys were and that she had a Job in a TV commercilal they would be perfect for and that I should meet her at her office that day to make sure my boys could be seen right away for TV Commercial .
I went to meet her later that day at her office . I have to say I was not sure what to expect but she left me with the impression that I was bringing my twins to some type of Audition for a TV Commercial But What I got was a high pressure sales pitch to sign my boys up with them (Carolyns Model and Talent Agency) and they wanted me to buy a picture package from them because they said I need quility pictures to be submiitted to Commercial Castings. Registration fee $250.00 each for yearly admin fee or give me a deal for $400.00 for both boys. Pictures were going to be $ 400 to $600 dollars plus
When I told them that was a lot of money for me and I was under the impression I was coming to a TV Commercial Audition for my boys and not having to pay out any money. I was told there may have been slight misunderstanding and that I needed to at least pay Registration fee that day so that the boys would not lose these great chance to be in a National TV Commercial . I told them I wanted to talk to my Mom first because I'm on a very fixed income and I wanted her input and some financial help too but I could not get a in touch with her till after 5pm that day .
Then then said if I can pay for half Registration fee $200.00 they could get my boys into the Audition for TV Commercial . I just happen to have $200.00 on me I just recieved from the twins Dads Mom but it was part of my food money for the month for me and the twins . I told the Agency that my Mom may not approve and not help me so I sould wait and hold this money till i speak to her . The Agency said not to worry and give them the $200.00 dollars now so they could registar them and they would get the them the Audition and if my Mom was not approving and not going to help me financially they would refund my entire $ 200.00 cash to me next day with no problem .
There was a Problem
My Mom did not apprrove because of internet search she did on Carolyns Model and Talent Agency . I saw one or two good reviews on them but my Mom pointed out that there were a lot more bad reviews then good on them and Were there is Smoke there is Fire ,get your money back . I asked Carolyns the follow day to return the $200.00 dollars cash I gave them . They made a fuss about how I they already submitted the boys for Audition and that its not OK for me to back out just like that . I told them that I just needed the moneyback to feed me and my boys for that month and they pomised to return it in full if I needed back.
Its been close to 3 Months today of countless phone calls unanswered and messages being left and not returned and I still have not got any of my $200.00 back from them.
Carlolyn Model and Talent Agency knowingly took food out of the mouth of my two babies for their own personal gain : (
