dear Courtney,
I read with an aching heart your tragic story of 6 whole weeks with TCT. You don't answer the following questions, however: how much were you paid during that time, why did it take you almost 2 months to 'discover' the 'scam' as you call it, and what did you do to address your concerns to the office staff or corporate.
I will tell you, without knowing you, why you may not have succeeded at TCT.
Completely, Persued, Prestigious,Substantiate.
These are common words in the English language that you apparently cannot spell correctly.
It's called a dictionary. Invest in one.
And then ask yourself, "gee, if I knew from day one that customers had to pay money to be on the site, and I, being a 'real' musician don't think people should have to pay to have their music heard, then why the hell did you start working there?" Did you think TCT would just let your 'peeps' enroll for free because you don't think people should have to pay?
(By the way, did the recording studio and sound engineers who cut your CD work for free or did you have to pay them?) Just wondering.
Keeping it free and real.

Keep It Real!!! It's one big lie!!!
AUTHOR: Courtney - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, March 25, 2003
Iwas employed with tctalent for about 1.5 months. During those weeks I found myself wondering why Am I doing this? I'm in the music industry and I have one full length lp to show for it. My music is completly real to me and it made me realize why I actually haven't persude fame.
It's one big lie!!!
One of their prestiges director's of operations even told us during training that he made over 100k annually and I'm still tryin to figure how and why??? Here at the jacksonville division, they don't have regular workdays that substanuate having a 100k salary!!! Nobody's salary is my concern and the veil of lies make my skin crawl. I'm a black man in a very white city. My main goal was to go back to the community and scout to bring some hope, excitement, and possibly start a new hotbed for talent.
I hate to sound racist in any way, it's not intentional, but talent doesn't designate between rich and poor, or black and white. What hurts is to know people out here that really need to be heard but can't cause they don't have money and fact is money doesn't mean talent. So to all you hopefuls out there remember, it does take money to be heard or seen sometimes, but you can't buy fame and fortune!!!!
Do something that tct told us to do, next time someone steps to about modeling or anyother talent, tell them show me the money and pay attention to detail because money can't buy you love!!!!!

Read this! TCTalent filed this bogus report above... I am the Good Scout with NEW information!

TCT filed this bogus report... I am the Good Scout
I feel I need to inform the public of those reports which were filed by TCT in an effort to create a reason to sue ripoffreport. This is just wrong. Now they are making up the story that someone tried to extort a quarter million dollars to take reports down from this site. I wonder if they actually expect people to believe them.
JUST SO YOU ALL KNOW, everything I have posted, I either have personal knowledge of, or have confirmed with other employees. These claims/stories that TCTalent is passing around and including in false postings, is an attempted smear campaign against ripoffreport.com.
Another interesting bit of information: Several employees remember that about 10-12 months ago, members of our organization left messages with ripoffreport.com to call us at Options Talent. Options wanted to make an arrangement with Ripoff Report, offering to pay them money so they would delete reports about Options Talent and Emodels, because Ripoff Report was getting higher priority on search engines. There are witnesses to this at our company.
Who do you think is actually behind this? Yes, JASON HOFFMAN and ALEC DEFRAWY. Jason goes by the name JAY WALLACE now, for some reason. Alec also uses the name BRIAN ENDERSEN. Alec even used an alias when calling Ripoff Report and instructed people at the office that the call was for him if the people from ripoffreport.com had called back. I was told that when the people from Ripoff Report called back they refused any offers made by Alec, but told him that he could file a rebuttal.
More to come soon. Keep an eye on these postings. 
Scamsters make such interesting BedFellows
Seeing is believing!
Why am I still here at TCTalent? I have bills to pay, just like anyone else. I sincerely feel I am doing a good thing by trying to bring them down. After all, I'm helping you, hopefully stopping YOU from becoming a potential victim. I feel good about what I am doing now and get a good night sleep. After reading many of the posting by those who were helped by this web site. It motivated to help. I can best help by staying inside and providing information. This is how I must say thank you to the people at this web site.
Anonymous for now.
P.S. You should also know, that TCT is going nuts trying to figure out the identity of all those who are inside the company who are working against them. Office doors are locked, even when someone goes to the bathroom for only two minutes.
They watch everyone and even question why one might be talking with someone outside their department! People work in fear. This is more like n**i Germany or the Soviet Union.
