Scam!
Complaint Rating:  100 % with 13 votes
Company information:
HollywoodProfiles.com
4180 Via Real
Los Angeles, California
United States
Phone: 8057557119
www.hollywoodprofiles.com

First off the company says they are in Hollywood, Ca when I went to their address it was a abandoned building. When I started investigating I found out the company is really in Carpenteria, Ca the real address is 4180 Via Real, Carpenteria, Ca 93103 they do not even go by that name they are called Pinnacle Systems. It is an unmarked building and I would think for good reason. They sent me an email saying "for only $1.95" I could be an extra in movies nowhere in the terms did it say how much they would be taking out of my checking account every month the next month they took out $49.95 plus $19.95 and I got nothing for it! When I finally called them they told me I could not get a refund and when I kept asking they hung up on me. I still haven't gotten anything for my money and I haven't gotten my money back. If you have been scammed like I have please let everyone know of their real address and let them know don't do it, it is a scam!

Just a note to let everyone know that I have been talking to a relation within the police department in Washington DC about the site, and they are going to look further to get to the bottom of things. Please do not sign up with this site!!!

Actually, if you click on their terms and agreement, the real charges are there. I also found United States Casting Society and they have a site that you can go and start your acting career or suggest do your own research. The site is http://www.CastingandTalent.com and when you go to that site start cost $197.00. Therefore there is nothing for free and if it sounds like it search google or posts as this one and make sure you do your research before giving your bank information online.

I've just received the same email that so many of you are referring to. I receive so many scam emails that I've become very adept at researching how to resolve them. According to the BBB, there are 250 complaints already against them. You can locate them in the BBB search at Hollywood Profiles, 8721 Santa Monica Blvd #1057, west Hollywood, CA 90069. There company rating is an "F" by the BBB which means We (the BBB) strongly question the company’s reliability for reasons such as that they have failed to respond to complaints, their advertising is grossly misleading, they are not in compliance with the law’s licensing or registration requirements, their complaints contain especially serious allegations, or the company’s industry is known for its fraudulent business practices.

You can file a compliant through the BBB and I think they act as a go-between to resolve your issues and they track the responses to each complaint on line so you can read some of the past complaints in how they were reolved, this may help on how you deal with them.

Also change your bank account and/or bank card you used with them so they connot continue to withdraw money. It looks like they may have a track record of doing so from all the complaints I read, but this is just my interpretation of the complaints and blogs I have read since I have chosen not to join with them after reading thier BBB record.

My advice to everyone is to do a BBB search on any business before you sign up, you can get a picture of past business practice from thier BBB Company Report if they hae had alot of activity. also just typing thier company name with into a web search engine will give you an idea if anyone else has been scammed before you jump into the deep end of the pool. Good luck on getting your money back!!!
