One year ago today, I was referred to The Phoenix Agency by several false reviews which are on www.Google.com. I was very new to the business and the owner, Janice Lujan was waiting for a sucker like me to come along. She told me that if I didnt spend a minimum of $350.00 for a photo shoot AS WELL AS $150.00 to appear on her website, then she would not represent me. When everything was finished, my total amount spent was in excess of $1000.00. I never got any work, and I never got any auditions. ALSO- I never received my photos! I paid all that money for NOTHING! I read about opportunities for New Mexico Films from the newspaper and booked my OWN work several months ago!! She had the audacity to DEMAND 10% OF MY INCOME EVEN THOUGH SHE DIDNT BOOK ME A JOB!!!
As of today, Janice will no longer represent me because she claims I owe her another $150.00 for her website. I contacted another local talent agency to explore my options and I was shocked at what they had to say:
According to the Screen Actors Guild, The Phoenix Agency is not allowed to charge for ANY service they provide. This includes: photos, websites, comp cards, etc. In addition, she is not permitted to have auditions at her office. Even though I have NEVER had an audition, I know several people who have attended them at her office on numerous occasions.
Ive tried to contact Janice Lujan via phone, e-mail AND in person and she refuses to speak to me. I requested a refund for a portion of the money I wasted on her illegal operation so she forced her innocent assistant to tell me "nothing could be done". I have had an attorney contact The Phoenix Agency as well...His call was never returned either. It now seems as though I have no choice but to file a lawsuit against Ms. Lujan, possibly a class action suit along with the others she has scammed.

Ex Partner makes up lies to start their own competing agency
AUTHOR: Janice Lujan - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, June 15, 2011
This is a false claim made by a scammy competitor who spends
their time defaming our agency rather that working to help the talented actors and models of New Mexico secure auditions and bookings.
Our agency is open 5 days a week for our actors to pick up and drop off headshots and resumes for their auditions, it is impossible that the person in this fake story would not have access to their photos. The Phoenix
Agency booked over 500 projects in 2010 and plans to double that in 2011.
Unfortunately we
cannot guarantee work for everyone (our clients make booking decisions, not us)
however, we do everything we can to
insure our talent is marketed to every project in the Southwest that fit their
profile.
The Phoenix Agency does NOT hold auditions.. we send taped
submissions to large markets like LA and NY to GET auditions. We are the only agency in NM that
does this.
this would certainly not be something an actor would complain about..only a dis-honest
competitor trying to defame our agency.
Furthermore, Lawsuits are public record and any person with
a computer can look up our agency and see that no lawsuits of this kind or any
other have ever existed.
Again, this made up story is conjured up by someone who
should have spent their time working to actually help Talent in New
Mexico. Our offices are always open to our Actors and Models for
appointments and just a phone call or e-mail away
Any questions: e-mail me: janice@phxtalent.com
Good luck to you on
