Beware of Christie Talent - she is a professional scam artist

[copynpaste]

Christie Talent is her scam, Christine Mason is her real name, she is the owner of the company and a con and a scam artist. Many many many complaints with the BBB, the fact their BBB rating is a F says it all. Her and Colin Mason are partners and constantly changing their names and office locations. You see their ads all over the place constantly. People are still constantly falling for their lies and theyre probably millionairs by now by the thousands they have scammed.

BAD BAD BAD NAME IN THIS BUSINESS

TALENT AGENCIES ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO CLAIM THEY ARE "WORKING ON MOVIES" OR TAKE MONEY UP FRONT. LEGITIMATE AGENCIES CHARGE 15% OF WORK THEY GET FOR YOU.

THis is just for background work?

Christi Talent? Who the hell is that? lol....

The ONLY agents in town are Dagaz (Roxanne Ellison) Dean Stuart and possibly still Glenda Philipchuk (my old agent) at Empire talent.

Copynpaste, please do tell what happened. Millionaire agents? Not in Calgary.

PS no website?? What is this 1993?

What are the details of this 'scam'. All I see so far is pretty decent libel case against copynpaste.

they do casting for TV shows and movies but make you pay a startup fee to signup in their system. They bring you in for a free one on one interview and sweet talk you saying they have so many jobs on the go and are casting roles for all these big movies. THey are really pushy, I had a friend in there awhile ago and he said he was ask at least 15x in the 2hr interview to sign up for the course. He politely said no each time but the guy kept pushing and pushing. I think its $180 a year and they claim that they teach classes to train people to become actors (something like $5000 for 2 week course). I didnt give them any money but i know many people who have and they all said that theyre a scam.

Once they get your money, they dont find you any work at all. if they do, i heard you have to work the first 20hrs free and then after that they start paying you.

Well duh....how old are you to believe that hype?

They've been calling my girlfriend non-stop ever since she emailed them. Possibly calling almost 20 times now.

I told her they were a scam as soon as they didn't even mention their name when calling her.

Stupid people, I want to go there just for fun. Next time they call I'm going to pick it up and have some fun...

Just wondering. If she's a professional scam artist... then if I borrow a buck from a friend and never pay him/her back... does that make me an AMATEUR scam artist?

lol

[Iceman_19]

Yes, and a douche bag for doing that to a friend.
