Complaint Review: Trans Continental Talent

In March 2003 I went to an audition which was being held in Rutherford, NJ. They needed to scout potential models, singers/musicians, and actors. They promised and stated to everyone in that room that they are not a rip-off agency and has found work for many people just like us. All we had to do was pay a fee of $795 and our pictures would be posted on their site for major clients to look at and call us if interested. 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed policy was applied and our pictures would be there for the life of the potential model, actor, or singer/musician. This was their way of making it convienent for people whom would have the "privilage" of getting "noticed" first hand from major clients such as MTV, and refrain from going agency to agency.

Each time I would enter the site for an opening they had sent me auditions that did not apply to me, on top of that, I had a job that did not allow me to take the offers because of the scheduling. Since I recently lost my job, I decided to go back into the site to see what I could find, and go to the audition if applied. After many weeks of attempting to go into the website, I find out they do not exist anymore. I was also informed by a co-worker that he had seen the I-team investigation through a major News Network that was reporting Trans Continental Talent to be a rip-off scam.
