Flashcast Companies AKA Kids Flashcast ripoff artist, fraudulent and dishonest business practice, scam artist Universal City California

Beware of Mr. Carl Carranza's child modeling scam.

We are recent victims of his fraudulent practice and are filing a case against him. Mr. Carranza's scams include illegal advance fee requests, pretense for being a legitimate practice, and use of hardball sales and emotional tactics to acquire money from intelligent and innocent parents.

Mr. Carranza will compliment your child and tell you everything you want to hear. He will also say things like "I only see children once a year", "Hundreds of kids come knocking on my door, I don't have time to see everyone." He will have you sign a contract which includes no refunds or no cooling periods, which is illegal by California law. Nor will he print in the contract the amount of money (advance fee) he stole from you.

If you find yourself in this situation, contact the following and make a report immediately: Better Business Bureau, Federal Trade Commission telephone #: 1-877-382-4357, Department of Industrial Relations, email address is www.dir.ca.gov, Attorney General's Office, email address is www.ag.ca.gov.

We not only want our money back, but we want to make sure no other parents are victims of a scam. We want to put a stop to people like Mr. Carranza and businesses like his.

STOP! ..before you think about using the Better Business Bureau (BBB)... CLICK HERE to see how other consumers were victimized by the BBB's false or misleading information. Don't be fooled! It has been reported, when there are thousands of complaints and other investigations underway by authorities, the BBB has no choice but to finally give an UNsatisfactory rating to a BBB member business that is paying the BBB big membership fees every year. When a business is reported that is NOT a BBB member, BBB files WILL more likely show an UNsatisfactory rating, then reportedly shake down that company to become a member of the BBB. One positive thing about the BBB is, either way, if a business has an unsatisfactory rating with the BBB, you can be sure, the business is bad. But what about all those BBB member businesses that had complaints filed against them? Consumers never get to hear about them. What about the BBB advertising to the public? Is this a false and misleading perception they are giving about “consumer confidence” when dealing with a business? Click here to understand more of what consumers and business alike are saying about the BBB. You decide. ..Remember. The BBB membership is not earned, it's paid for!
