2 years ago, in the early year of my career, I contacted TR Talent Rock thinking it was a legit convention they were hosting. I kept having to push back my attendence, and was supposed to attend the Convention in December 2006, until I found online about the company being a SCAM. I then called up to push back my date again and buy more time in order to file suit and attempt to get my money back from them, at least partially if not in full. When i did this I now had to pay an additional $150 transfer fee plus an extra $300 cause the "hotel for the convention was more expensive". Is there anyone who knows of an attorny who would take a case such as this or where I might look for one? Please help me out here. I didn't know any better at the time and have been trying to get my money back ever since.

It would have to be someone within a state attorney general's office.
They handle all company frauds.

Default Lou Pearlman's Talent Rock has been sold...

According to this article Talent Rock was sold and the new company is called Talent Rock Holdings ... They claim to be starting a new. -Mykkal


Click here to read the Talent Rock Sold! article...

Here is an excerpt:

Quote:
Fashion Rock - a talent-scout company that sparked hundreds of consumer complaints earlier this decade -- was sold Friday from Lou Pearlman's former business empire to a company with California money and Canadian management.
Also known as Talent Rock, the company is one of many Pearlman abandoned when he left the country earlier this year ahead of a deluge of questions by lawyers, investors and lawmen.
Fashion Rock hosted model and talent placement fairs on cruise ships and in luxury hotels, promising to connect would-be stars to people who could make them famous.

Officials of the new company, called Talent Rock Holdings, said they have no connection to the troubled past.
"We certainly intend to leave that behind us," said Alan Joelson, whose Camino Ventures paid $175,000 for Fashion Rock's assets. "Clearly this is a business that must provide service satisfaction."
