Xtreme Talent.biz Ripped me off for more than $800.00 Fort Mill South Carolina
About a year ago, I heard about a open Audition on the radio for models. It was held at the Pikesville Hilton Hotel. I was skeptical at first but I took my 5 year old anyway. There were hundreds of models and they happen to choose my Daughter. I was very surprised at all the unattractive people chosen but I thought I would give it a try. The owner Dylan said he was choosing 40 models but my mother and I counted over 80 models. The contract states they will do "free" photos for a small fee of $400.00. The $400.00 is for a website in which they post 3 photos of THERE liking. Then they ask for $20.00 a month to continue the website. Right off the bat they want $640.00 for a model page which has no information on it. After signing the contract....I decided that the whole thing sounded shady. My father...which by the way is a lawyer...read the contact and told me I had 3 days to change my mind and get my money back. I typed a letter to cancel the contact and faxed it to extreme talent. 1/2 hour later Dylan(the owner) who by the way can never be found and NEVER returns phone calls, leaves a message on my home phone that my daughter got a job. He knew I would change my mind about the contract and decide to stay with Xtreme. He is very slick.
To this day..I HAVE NEVER SEEN the ad my daughter was in. That was one year ago and my daughter has never had a job with them since. If she even ever had a job with World Wide magazine I will never know because no one has ever returned my calls.They never have a problem taking the money out of my bank account though:) This company has ripped me off for $400.00(website fee) $240.00(maintance fee) $75.00(more photos) and $150.00 for backround checks. That is $800.00 I have been ripped off for. I have reciepts for everything and it makes me sick. I hope this doesnt happen to anyone else and i am out here to tell you that they will scam you. He has hundreds of models going for the same jobs. This company is only after money!! My next step is to notify the BBB!

Oh and I have copies of all withdrawls and emails of ALL transactions. I dont want parents to think that ALL modeling agents are frauds. Remember our lawyer told us any TRUE agent will ask for the money AFTER you recieve a job! Dont let a company like this (who has to advertise on radio) take you for your money. Dyaln Cary is a slick man:)
