Vip Talent Connect I'm glad I caught on to their scam before I wasted my time and gas! Philadelphia Pennsylvania
I had recieved a call from Vip Talent Conect yesterday.I think her name was Don Marie or something like that she gave me her extension.She set me up for an appointment.The whole conversation was weird and it seemed like a sales pitch because she kept complementing me and usually a real agency sound more assertive and direct because they are doing business.She sounded like she was trying to be my friend,like how the telemarketers sound when they call you trying to sell something.I told her that I'm a petite model,singer and aspiring actress.She didn't even see my pictures or even meet me.She kept saying how successful I'm going to be,another sign of a scam or a sales pitch.No legit agency can promise you success!The industry is too competitive for them to guarantee anything!I asked her whether a not she was selling workshop classes because I'm looking for an agent not classes.She didn't give me a direct response.She said it was optional to take classes,another sign of a rip off.A real agency will tell you no,they are trying to get you working! and they wouldn't even be discussing workshop classes or any other fees,except for their 10-15% when you start working.I'm not going to Vip Talent because I know it's a waste of time and gas!

The writer of the former rebuttal is not an actual consumer but rather an employee of VIP Talent Connect. Notice that the writer was extremely hostile which isn't typical of a satisfied client, but rather indicative of con artist who is afraid that their operation is on the brink of being exposed.Their employees make a habit of scouring the Internet for negative feedback regarding their company and then writing slanted clearly one sided reviews of their services, an example of this can be found here http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090311064156AAf7Ziy Clearly the question was written and answered by their employees (all other responses have been enabled...) Talent scams are not only a waste of time but in many unfortunate cases a waste of money. If you would like a list of legitimate talent agencies the Association of Talent Agents (also known as the ATA) has a list of registered agents, agencies and management firms, across the country on their website which can be found here: www.agentassociation.com/frontdoor/membership_directory.cfm
You'll notice that VIP Talent Connect is not listed here. Good luck in all your future endeavors and be sure to thoroughly investigate any offer for talent representation, the industry is full of vultures waiting to devour you. Good Day.

At what point did it ever occur to you to speak your mind to the person on the phone or do your own research. Yet like a child you reach out with hate on something you are completely ignorant on in all degrees. VIP Talent Connect is not an agency they are a network marketing company. They are so far removed from being an agency it is like oil and water. No one was selling you anything, all you had to do was go to the site and it breaks everything down for you. Even look at YouTube and it explains everything. Before you preach read the Bible, before you trash something you know nothing about do your own research. Quite commonly, the argument from personal incredulity is used in combination with some evidence in an attempt to sway opinion towards a preferred conclusion. Here too, it is a logical fallacy to the degree that the personal incredulity is offered as further "evidence." In such an instance, the person making the argument has inserted a personal bias in an attempt to strengthen the argument for acceptance of her or his preferred conclusion. You only wish you could be as successful as a intern working at the company.
