Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
I am writing this letter to inform you of one the biggest rip-off artists in scottsdale arizona. His name is Bruce Romberg, and along with Melette Clayton, they have ripped -off thousands of people. They advertise that they are holding auditions, have you come on in and then tell you that you are just what they are looking for.

Well I personally know this is what they say to everyone. Talent or no talent. Then they tell you that you must pay anywhere between $900-4000 for classes and pictures and to be on a 'T.V. show" this is not anactual sitcom like they claim, rather an infomercial. You will never get any work, your pictures will suck, they refuse to pay a professional photographer, and you will learn absolutely nothing from the classes. In fact the employees, who I happen to know sit around and laugh at how dumb the people are for falling for the scheme.

This Bruce Romberg feeds off of people's dream to become famous. He knows that these people are never going to get discovered, but lies and tells them his show will put their faces out there. Bull. Nobody even knows about the show. Front Row Center. Ha ha. It is listed in the guide as an infomercial.

THIS GUY NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AND CHARGED WITH FRAUD. He promises things that he can't give. And what he does give is not worth the money. You would have a better chance of being discovered in a kmart commercial than on his "sitcom". DONT BUY IT!!!

I just called the Attorney General's office to follow up on the complaint I filed. The person I spoke with said that my complaint was in the system and was being investigated by the legal staff. He did indicate that everyone with the same complaint should file a report. I urge everyone to go to the following website and fill out a Consumer Complaint Form: www.ag.state.az.us If the AG's office sees a trend developing, they are more likely to pursue action.

My brother and I with four children visited a cast call one day and low and behold, we all had what it takes to be a star. Hollywood lookout, Scottsdale is the new superstar capital of the U.S. To our dismay, when I wanted to make money on my good looks, we were informed it takes money. And I thought with all of this raw talent myself and my minions could have started a magazine. Oh, well. Starbiz, you should change your name to Starfiz, or Starshiz, or maybe even become a T.V. evangelist and pray upon the old not the beautiful. Wait, take those 1000 superstars and start a Star-Temp Service. Cleaning homes, washing cars, judging dog shows. Why didn't I think of that.

First, we are very proud of our unique, ongoing TV series on PAX-TV

StarBiz Entertainment absolutely denies the ridiculous statements in this message. In contrast to the unsupported accusations, we at Starbiz Entertainment can be very specific about the many success stories our actors and models experience. Success in modeling and the entertainment field is very competitive. StarBiz Entertainment is an innovative company and has developed unique programs to give our actors/models the training to succeed and numerous exposure opportunities. First, we are very proud of our unique, ongoing TV series on PAX-TV. Now in our second season, our TV series gives each actor or model an opportunity to display their talent on local television - guaranteed. This is an excellent way to build a resume for actors and models who want to succeed in the entertainment business. Appearing on TV is very hard to achieve and we deliver new talent with each episode we produce. Second, some of the other recent examples of success include: FORTY MODELS with Starbiz Entertainment will appear this month in a major retail clothing catalog. TWELVE MODELS with StarBiz Entertainment participated in a fashion show at the Borgota just last week. EIGHT ACTORS with Starbiz Entertainment recently appeared on an Ashley Furniture TV commercial. These are just a few of the many assignments that are given to our beautiful models and talented actors. We are very proud of each of these talented individuals and we make every effort to place our clients in as many assignments as possible. We invite everyone to contact us at StarBiz Entertainment with any questions. With respect to the other unsubstantiated statements in the message: PHOTOGRAPHY- we have one of the great photographers in the Phoenix metro area working for Starbiz Entertainment. His name is Mark Morgan and he comes to us highly recommended. We are very pleased with Mark's work and he is truly a "professional" in every sense of the word. INTERNATIONAL MODEL AND TALENT ASSOCIATION (IMTA) - After meeting the MTA's approval criteria, Starbiz Entertainment was approved to be a member of this prestigious organization. We have taken several of our highly qualified clients to MTA sponsored events to compete and meet casting directors, movie producers and over 400 talent agencies from all over the world. OUR STAFF - is truly committed to excellence and works very hard with each of our actors and models, assisting them in their careers in every way possible. OUR GROWTH - we are now in our second full year of operation and we continue to expand at a rapid pace. With our head office in Scottsdale, AZ, we recently opened a second office in California. We are making great progress in this new office and we are now looking to open in Dallas, San Diego and Denver in the coming months. Clearly, if this message were true, our company and our clients would not be having the success that drives this type of rapid expansion. SUMMARY- Starbiz Entertainment now has over 1000 actors and models in our program. As our growth continues, we are expanding our services and horizons. We have been told many times that we are the "real deal" and have worked very hard to provide actors and models of all ages an entry into the entertainment business. Come in and see for yourself!
