Answer:
Well, I'm sorry you got taken. Fortunately it wasn't for that much money. I've seen people get taken for thousands. Consider it tuition in the school of life. Everyone gets robbed at some point. What they did is probably legal so it's very unlikely you can get your money back. You CAN file complaints though. The BBB and the attorney general would be a good place to start. You can also file a suit in small claims court. You can pay extra and have a Sheriff deliver the summons. How do you think it would look to a prospective client when the fuzz shows up waving one of those around? When someone does me wrong I can be a real pain! They don't soon forget me and they regret what they did. Make 'em earn that money! Don't merely get even, pay them back tenfold! Make yourself feel better, don't let 'em win! Good luck, and it's only human to make mistakes from time to time. Now go beat them up a little instead of yourself.

Sorry to say, but it sounds like some kind of set up. If you've paid them money up front (And judging by what you typed earlier you have) all may not be lost! People in tough situations sometimes have a way of looking out for each other. I know quite a few friends of mine who got roped into acting agency scams, similar to this one. They couldn't get out of a contract they signed, so instead they used the opportunity to network with other people that were in the same situation. When one person booked a job, usually on their own, they would try their best to spread the word around so that others could get a shot as well. It's weird how it happens, but I have seen it work. Sure it sounds like wishfull thinking, but if you've already put down the money you might as well try to get something out of it. Keep your eyes and ears open, you never know who may cross your path that you never expected.

You were scamed! We say this everyday/night. If it sounds too good to be true, IT IS! Only go to Legitimate Talent Agencies. If you cannot find a Legitimate Talent Agency in the city where you live. Don't worry about it. Acting and agencies will always be around. You are doing the work for One Source. I doubt if they will refund your money, because you didn't ask sufficient questions during your interview with them. The burden was on you question them.

i was just wondering the SAME thing because they viewed my acting/modeling profile on the internet and asked me to come in for an interview tommorow, ive heard some sucess stories and some scam stories as well, i think it depends on which office you go to, and the people you deal with. But most likley im not going to go tommorow because of all of the crap ive heard. If you want your money back and they wont give it to you, report then to the BBB. Good luck!!

Yes, it's absolutely a scam. Anyone who claims to do a service like that and ask for money up front is a scam. There's very little chance of you getting your money back but go to the better business bureau in your town and see if they can help you.

Which one did you go to? I went to the one in SD. They are a total scam!

real modeling agencies don't ask you for money. you're probably screwed but do your best to get your money back

That was the same thing that happened to me =[ They are just taking your money.. They'll say " I want money for pictures, and for this, and that" And they will never give you a job Kinda Sucks.. but that's how it is... I am still looking for a better agency...
