well i got a call from somone different 2123914668 idk if i should go or not but am not going anymore. i go to barizon modeling and acting and they r good

Unfortunately, they are still making these ads (almost word for word from the Apr-7th post). Right off the bat, something seemed fishy. I first got the call from 212-268-9709, and when I answered, the person hung up and then called from this number: 212-594-8000. What company would do this? Perhaps one that knows people are on to them.

When I finally talked to this person, she didn't even introduce herself and just rushed me into setting up a "consultation" as soon as possible. After a few minutes of research, I found out that I was right, it was a good ol' fashioned scam. What's worse, after trying to find the original job ad on craigslist (using the posting id in my search), I have found that it was removed and replaced with a slightly different ad (extras for a movie set in China Town). Needless to say, I will not be coming in for their interview.

I would advise everyone to avoid this place like the plague. If you don't avoid them, don't pay them a single red cent!

I got a call from them (212-594-8000)ealier today and stopped by their office, met with a guy named Bradley Poster.  He told me I needed 100 headshots, and I can make $200-$500 an hour or $2000 a day to start.  Headshots are $250 and wanted me to take them right there on the spot, but I told him I didn't have a dime or any plastic on me (I lied, just didnt buy into his lies) and I would come back another day for it.  They will never see me again!

I would just like to thank everyone who took the time to post about this scam. I too got the same random phone call from 212-268-9734. The girl spoke with a heavy accent and was very vague. I asked where they got my info from and she said she had no idea. Just a little too fishy.

Thank you all again for being good people and helping others not to waste their time. In this economy, every train ride counts.

Best wishes to all,
La

I am sooooo glad I found/read all of your responses.  I replied to and 'extra' ad and yes, this heavy accented girl called and left a message which it seemed she was reading from a paper and rushed me into an appointment.  I could barely understand her on my voice mail and on the phone.  The number she called from was 212-268-9734 but told me to call back on the 212-244-4483. Beware, slimeballs in this industry still exist.
