ok I'm a casting manager for impact worldwide. to my knowledge nobody has ever asked for anytype of money up front! so who ever did that was using impact to scam someone else.

I was with the company as a model. They seemed perfectly harmless at first. They asked a $3.95 per casting which didn't raise any red flags at the time, because a lot of websites charge money to see castings usually per month. One day I was lookngi up info on another agency on ripoff report.com and easybackgroundcheck.com, and found over 60 complaint's against impact worldwide and it had over 20 websites that impact has used over the last couple of years to lure models in and not get caught after people came after them for not paying models. The complaints ranged from super serious to mild. Everything from identity theft to assault. I got scared and remebered that they had my cc#'s on their website to charge me. I immediately cancelled my subscription. Coincidently I day or two later. Someone started charging items on my cc#. It wasn't a coincidence. My bank is now doing an investigation against them. I'm not saying your a liar, but you might just not know whats really gonig on. If I were you I would do my research heavily bbb, FTC, and FBI reports. Believe me just because you are a scout that doesn't save you from getting burned just as badly.

never pay for casting notices or casting calls you can get that information free out of Newspapers and off the craigslist.org and mandy.com

We'll with me I did not get into the scam thing as in giving up a lot of money for me it was when I needed to get my pictures, one photographer kept my set, but that was the only time I was got.
I always find my own work and it works better for me. I look in the la weekly and craigslist and even online sites like going to google and entering modeling and so far I have done photo shoots for free, calendars,magazines,contest, tv, runway and a motion picture. I learned you do not have to spend money, not always. There are so many scams out there you have to be careful. I always enter a lot of yahoo groups and check papers and online and a lot of companies. I take TFP ( Time for prints and in exchange for my time I get pictures and cd's I do this with about 3 photographers and then I start submissions of my pictures and not everyone will like you some will criticize you, but you keep trying, because that one person who does not need you may know someone who does and that will be a connection. It feels good when you make money and you do not spend as much. There are a lot of promo sites, as well.
