TCT Talent Sad Shameful Dishonest ripoff Thank god for this site Miami Beach Florida

At first I was scouted by "Options", They told me I had the "look" and to go in for a casting call, I was out of town and unable to make it, a few weeks later when I went to check the website I saw that it was bought out by Transcon, once again I got contacted telling me I had the look, so I figured I'd go to the offices for the open call. When I went there was a total of about 40 people, by the time the presentation ended and what not, they asked people to leave and there was a total of 4 of us, myself, another girl about my age, and two guys. They took us individually into private rooms, spoke to us, gave us the information and told us we would be called by someone in Orlando in a few days.

A few days later I get called by the "Talent Director" telling me all the same crap I heard at the meeting and asking me to sign, my mom told him she'd have to think about it because 800$ was kind of a steep price for a portfolio consisting of 4 pictures, then an aditional 20$ a month. So he said he'd call us back sometime in February.

Now it's December, and I keep recieving phone calls from TCT Talent in Miami Beach telling me I have the "look" and they "need" me to be a part of the company as a model. (I'm sure all they need me for is the large amount of cash they'd be making off of me) I told the person who called the same thing about it being expensive and that if I changed my mind I would contact the talent director.

Now today, I recieved an e-mail about some event in Orlando, Fashion Rock or something and how i've been "preselected" to participate. They kind of forget to mention that that little venture is about 900$ just to participate. It's somewhat pathetic.

It's like they're stalking me for my money. Thank god I stumbled across this website and was able to reasure my thoughts about them being a sham. Thank You All for your wonderful advice.
