Starsearh casting advertised a modeling job in the newspaper. My daughter called them and was told she would be guaranteed three jobs modeling for a $99.00 fee.
We were told if she changed her mind they would refund the fee with no problems. The next day we requested refund and was told the fee would be refunded in 2 weeks.
This incident occurred December 5, 2003. I have contacted the Better Business Bureau, the Attorney General's office and the agency numerous times.
To date they have not refunded my money or made contact to resolve the problem other than saying the check is in the mail.

#1 UPDATE Employee
There were 2 different companies using the name Star Search Casting
AUTHOR: Julie - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Thursday, June 14, 2007
The company this person is talking about started doing business in 2003 and was only in business for about 3 years. They kept changing their name and website so people would not catch on to their scam. They were located near San Diego California in Oceanside and also used an address in Carlsbad.
This is their Better Business Bureau report: http://www.sandiego.bbb.org/commonreport.html?compid=20005827
Many scammers, like this company, confuse people by using names very similar to real reputable companies. These are the names they used until they went out of business in late 2005:
Hospitality Trainers
Exposed Casting
Star Search Casting
Prime Time Casting ( http://www.PrimeTimeCasting.com )
Show Time Casting ( http://www.ShowTimeCasting.com )
Global Casting Network ( http://www.GlobalCastingNetwork.com )
Global Entertainment Network ( http://www.gcastnet.com )

Search Light Talent ( http://www.SearchLightTalent.com )
Look At Me Inc.
There is a real company named Star Search Casting, Inc. ( http://www.StarSearchCasting.com ) that has been in business since 1998 and is a member of the Better Business Bureau. You can see their BBB report here: http://www.bbbonline.org/cks.asp?id=1050419191358
Many people still confuse the scam which operated out of Oceanside California with the real Star Search Casting located in Ventura California because they used the same name.
Fortunately, the scam company is no longer around but their bad reputation continues to hurt a legitimate company.
