[> [> Subject: Great American model & talent search Scam Author: North Carolina Mom [Edit] Date Posted: 09:14:51 01/30/08 Wed I can't believe after reading all of this blog, what a scam they have going. We live in NC and went to an open casting call and guess what Tyler and his mom supposed NC natives and currently living in NC was there shining example of how you can succeed with them. Poor Tyler, I hope he doesn't get caught up in the middle of it when the adults involved get caught in this big illegal scam they are pulling. All of the people in the video were either filmed in the same courtyard or same dinette set. A little coincedental don't you think. There are about 100 sites stating what a scam they are! Charlotte, Tyler's mom if she her son is doing so wonderful and this is legitimate why would she have to check off attendees on a handwritten list at these casting calls. You would think she would have better things to do. I am sure like the program says if you have all the time to run around to casting agencies across the U.S. then you can get your child these opportunities. The sad part is that she is using our hard earned money to pay for her own child's opportunities!!! I hope this scam gets blown out of the water. I saw so many parents that looked like they were struggling financially and they were taking their money. Using a cell phone to call in credit card transactions, with handwritten instructions, promoting the fact that they will accept post dated checks!!! Of cours they will, they want your money. In addition, if you do decide to fall for this scam after at this time you pay $685 to attend the Model Show in Pittsburgh. You the parent have to pay and additional $85 to watch your child audition per person. What a money making scam!!!!!! I feel sorry for those parents that fell for it and used their last dollar to do it!!!! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> Subject: North Carolina Mom? Author: Gloria (Upset) [Edit] Date Posted: 18:04:56 02/12/08 Tue I would be ashamed, if I were you. You have no right to talk about a child. Yes Charlotte, and Tyler live in NC. I know them. She got my daughter started in this business. You saw his workings on the tape that you mentioned and yes many of those people were filmed at the same time. Makes it easier to get people from all over the USA in one place to film. Tyler is caught....In A Great Career. Did you even talk to Charlotte about anything or were you one of the people who walk by and never understand anything. There are plenty talent searches out there and yes they are profitable businesses. Would you work at your job without making any money? I think not. We all think that our children deserve the world and if they do not get it we start a rant. We get mad at out bosses, spouses, even our children because they do not give us what we THINK that we deserve, but are they SCAMS? No! i just think that there are way too many people in this world that think the world owes them, that is the problem. We pay for everything that we do in this life so how is this any different. They do not promise you success, jobs, careers, and they plainly tell you that they are not agents. Isn't that proof enough that they are what they say........ A Model and Talent Search Convention?
