Has anyone ever used acting-jobs.net site? They seem to have tons of auditions posted, but require payment if one wants to submit for any of the auditions. Anyone ever submitted themselves through them? Thanks for any feedback.

When/where did it ask you for payment? I went and checked it out, and I went as far as where they ask for your info to be submitted (just so I could look at it, I did not do that and submit anything). Was the request for payment beyond that point?

Hey,
It takes you to another site called "explore talent" and you have to register with them and they give you a one-week free trial and ask for your payment info, it's around $17/month. So, you can submit for as many auditions as you want for one week and cancel or they will start charging you. There are a lot of good testimonies on that site, but you just don't know these days...thanks for taking a look...

Gee, another front for explore talent. I've seen about a million of these. Castingcall.us, castingauditions.com, hollywoodprofiles.com, scams r us.com(just kidding there).

It seems as if there is a constant supply of naive, starry-eyed, deluded newbies that serve as prey for these scammers. Don't you wish these larcenous fake companies would just disappear?

yeah...good thing there is this forum and people can get opinions from others while doing the research...

Oh wow, yes I did not come across that. And I would just like to second what LADelight wrote...as soon as I saw explore talent the little scam siren in my head went off. Exnay oodgay.

Yeah, it went off in my head, too. But wanted to check here, anyway...thanks!

I was curious about hollywoodprofiles.com so I am glad that you mentioned it was part of the Explore talent scam. Anyone hear of Actor's Club?

Yep-I get their junk emails-who knows how one gets on these lists. But, yes, it's a scam.

Actor's Club, Explore, all scams. The only legit ones are Backstage, Actors Access, LaCasting and NowCasting.
