Then there are companies that don’t sell any services themselves, they get paid to sell your information to companies that have telemarketers and salespeople. The audition was not actually for a real part in any production, it was to evaluate how much you will spend and how much they can sucker you out of. This is where the salesperson kicks in and tries to sell you on photos, portfolios, online portfolios, classes, conventions and anything else they can push on you. Once there, they tell you “you are perfect… but…”. Often times they schedule a “fake” audition (they don’t ask for money here to put you at ease), then they call and tell you ‘you are great’ come in for a 2nd audition and sometimes a 3rd.
They don’t just come out and ask for money, they first get your confidence and reel you in slowly. There are many companies claiming to be agencies that will claim to find you work… if you pay them.
There are many different scams preying on people trying to break into the industry.
