Talent 6, Or SearchForTalent I did not even sign up and they charged me three months later, unauthorized charge Hollywood California

I kept seeing the ads for Talent 6 - make 150-300 a day as an extra in movies. So I decided to try it out. When I called they told me it would be a 45$ fee. After I already gave out my information and signed up she told me that in two weeks I would be charged a monthly fee of 35$ to access the jobs in my area.... I was a little annoyed at this situation because she didn't tell me this upfront. She told me I had two weeks to cancel that. But she told me there were a lot of jobs in my area so I went along with it and figured I would check out the jobs. Idiot rule#1: A place that charges you a monthly fee is making money off of you, so don't expect to make money off of them. So I signed on the next day and looked up the jobs. THEY AREN"T WHAT THEY ADVERTISE!!! It's not a bunch of jobs as extras for a big movie set. It's student's looking for a specific person to work for free, or a musician or dancer. When I did find an ad for a feature movie, they were also looking for someone specific. Or models, 5'8 or taller and size 2!!! With all the jobs in my area I couldn't find ONE that I could even apply for.....So then of course I am like most people, the two weeks go by and I get a charge for the $35.00. I call the next day at 6am when they open. I tell the woman I don't want the access to the jobs but she tells me that the fee is non-refundable (She was kind of snooty and seemed like she was ready to fight with me) I guess that is what they are used to. She was like "Well, there are jobs in your area so I suggest you just look for them and do what you paid for." But the funny thing was that I didn't give her any of my information so how would she know where I live. So I told her fine but I would like to cancel now so I am not charged again. She said if I canceled now that I would loose what I payed for and it would cancel today. I laughed and told her that was sneaky and she gave me the date I could call and cancel. I put a reminder in my phone but now I am out $80 bucks and if there actually is a legit director out there looking for directors I will be lost in a sea of a thousand faces. Take your dreams somewhere else, this place is just out for your money and a waist of time.

I am sorry to say I was ripped off by Talent 6. They assured me there was work in my city. When there was not, I called to cancel. They canceled my account, and promised a refund. The girl told me "5-7" business days each of the three times I called to inquire where my refund is. It has now been over 12 business days and I have no refund. She (lady on the phone at their 'customer service line') tried to tell me it is "my bank's fault".

Do an online search, others have been ripped off. Don't fall for this con.

And don't fall for these posts saying they are legit and if you only email them, they will handle your problem ASAP. They do not, and have not in my case.

My name is Igor Reiant and I am the CEO of Talent6. I'd like to personally apologize for any problems any former member or employee may have encountered with our service. We've worked with over a million clients in the last two years and have designed our sales and customer support procedures to accommodate every one of them. However, as with any company, problems and mix-ups do occur, and we do our utmost to solve them and prevent similar issues from happening in the future.

We are not hiding anything. Members of Talent6 have the ability to cancel online and send questions through the site directly to Customer Support. If a client prefers to speak to the Customer Support Department by phone, our toll free phone number is provided during the initial sale and on the website. By calling 1-800-710-4210, you will be directly routed through to a real person who can answer questions, provide refunds and help you with any problems you may have. There are no phone prompts or mazes to go through and wait time typically does not exceed three to five minutes.

Talent6 is constantly working to improve our Customer Support Department, Sales Department and our website as a whole. We post thousands of new casting calls every week for people working to break into the entertainment industry. Search for Talent has also signed up hundreds of Casting Directors and Photographers who contact our members every day with upcoming opportunities. We are consistently growing and expanding, but it's not because we're a scam, it's because Search for Talent works.
