Here's my experience.... I started getting emails asking if I was interesting in a project. I could not respond because I was not a "Gold" member (paid). Finally I thought I would try it. If the emails were legit, $10 would be worth it. I joined, they had 30 day or 90 day options, I chose 30 day, they took the money from PayPal and not another word from anyone. I tried to check their auditions and they did have an extensive list of castings and address for hard copy submission, nothing electronic that I saw. But there was no search capability so it was page by page. They seemed to have every network show in LA and NYC, and most everything I saw on all the "free" sites. Was very difficult to find stuff from Florida or close enough that I would travel to. So after 30 days and suddenly no more emails and "interest" in me, I decided it was not worth it for me to continue. Then I got the email from PayPal and my account was charged for the next month (the day prior to my 1st month expiration). I logged on and interestingly enough, you can sign up, pay , do everything electronically except cancel your account. I sent an email to their contact and received a quick response of "check the terms of use to cancel your account". Literally, that was the response. After finding the link to that on the bottom of the page I read that it is an automatic renewal and to cancel requires written notification and no refunds or pro rated months. Not even close to what I was lead to believe in the sign up process. Anyway, the next time I logged on, I was no longer a "Gold" member. But I also have not gotten a refund for the month they charged me a day ahead of time for.
Bottom line from my experience, it may be legit, but not very useful to me. I may have a different opinion if I get charged again. I may even not bother to fight for the $10 for this month they charged since they apparently did cancel my membership without a letter mailed to California. If I get charged again a very good friend of mine is Manager of PayPal fraud, so he will get a "business" call from me. :-) |
