I found Trent James on the internet with this I Talent Managment. I submitted my recent headshot to him online and recieved an email back saying they wanted me to come in for an audition. I showed up and read a commercial lines and he had his assistant record me in another room I went through the lines several times till he said I was done. I then went back into the room where T.J. was and i showed him my headshots. The headshots I purchase coat me 300 dollars in a photo shoot with a guy in Glendale, Ca. The paper i had it on were glossy. He then said that he wanted to sign me and to come back the next day. He then asked about my headshot and staryed recommending i get new ones. Instantly i knew he was up to know good. I also told him i had a disc with a bunch of headshots from the shoot i did previously before meeting him. The next day I showed up 30 minutes early because I learned in the army to never be late and I was brand new to the business.
I showed up and he was suprised how early I was and had me sit down on the couch while T.J. was talking to a young girl. I listened to the conversation and she said can I pay with my credit card instantly I knew it may be a scam. So when the girl was done and leaving i told the guy to hold on and i went out of the room to talk to her. I told her I looked the guy up on the internet and it says something about hom being a scam artist. I exchanged numbers with the girl and T.J. came out to see what we were doing. At that time I was done. I then went back in the room with T.J. he sat down and said do you see this guy I said yes and he said this is a disney star I represent. He then said he talked to and agent and that they wanted to sign me. I was thonking in my head this is way to good to be true.
So i listened then he asked if i had the cd with my headshot. I said oops i left it in the car. He then told me that i would need new headshots and showed me a piece of paper with the prices being in the 1,000 dollars range... I paid 300 for really good ones, multiple outfits that i brought, multiple locations and the guy even touched up some of my shots the ones I chose for him to do. All for 300! So I knew he was trying to scam me. He asked if Itook acting lessons i said yes in studio city which was about an hour away. He then told me I could take classes with him which would save me gass money for the drive. I then decided to confront him on being a fake and scam artist he got mad but I was not scared since I was muscly at the time. I told him I didn't want to sign and I left.
