Supposedly this email is their official one, [email protected].

This email....g****[email protected] and that phone everyone is having trouble with.

This email is either blocked or is a fake, but you cannot contact them or I can't at all via email or phone.This is such evil deed.

I had this number on my pending amounts and do not know who this is.

people just cancel your card and get another account number

okay so i just signed up today and after hearing all these complaints about this company being a fraud im tryna cancel my membership but the number on the website doesn't work and im not to sure if i can trust sending a letter to dat address from their website...does ANYBODY KNOW THEIR REAL NUMBER TO GET A HOLD OF THEM SO I CAN CANCEL IT? OR ADDRESS? THANK U

I received this charge as well. I just called and didn't wait very long. But when the representative answered, they didn't say the name of the company or anything. I asked to cancel the charges and all they asked for was my first and last name and said it was canceled. It was su****iously easy to "cancel". We'll see if the charged continue. But there was absolutely nothing professional about their support center.

How can they get away with this?  I've been duped, yet a***n. I'll cancel my  credit card if need be.  What ****s!!

I seem to have different problems but from the same origin.I signed up to some casting call thing way long ago. The deal was I would get put on the list for local area applications.There was a larger intial charge and then the rest of the deal was to recieve the money back if i wasn't casted as a role within 90 days.All of the castings available were in Las Vegas, I'm in Reno. 400 miles isn't localToo long of a drive to try casting for a menial part and low wage.  Obviously that plan failed, and now i'm being charged 49.80 continously from named accounts that keep c****ing. (Entertainment, Talenthold, Talentservices)plues there is a 21$ finance charge.. no idea what that's from.

The same thing happened to me. I keep trying to call and no one answers. I've been trying to contact someone from day one.

The number showed up on my credit card statement too. I remember the rip-off I felt when I saw right after signing up for this thing which was acting parts in Jacksonville, Fl - just 60 miles away - and then getting an e-mail or being notified some other way I was being charged a whole lot more. According to my credit card company it was $39.90.I got a call and I never answered it because I felt a bit overawed at the acting deal and the 60 miles and I didn't want to get any further involved. I thought maybe the big bucks wouldn't be charged if I didn't answer the phone.I was wrong and I just noticed they charged a***n, this time $49.95.That was last month.I haven't called the number but I have filled out a complaint to the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services about the charges.On my card it says first, TalentHold and then the next month it's called Talent Services. Talent Services is the number above. TalentHold had a different phone number, 800-308-1096.I'm unemployed and I was just dreaming. The Hippodrome State Theater is located near me and it was natural for me to think about it, but I didn't expect to get ripped off like this. They could have told me they would be charging more, they could have e-mailed to see if I wanted to go further with this or cancel it. It's just a greedy money making venture if you ask me, not anything professional.

ok so i just went to the hollywood profiles website and it has like the agreement thing on the bottom! it's really bizarre and it's saying basically what we're complaining about...so we "agreed" to a month to month fee that can c****e at anytime or what have you!!! it's ridiculous dude.here it is!                               Membership Benefits.

Yeh...mine was 49.95 and they just keep taking the payment and you can't talk to anyone until after a VERY long wait. I'm going to figure out a way to get my money vack too!

Same here, only we get "this 800 number is not available through your calling area" Write the Better Business Bureau - the site shows a AAA BBB logo, yeah right!!!

Exactly same thing happened to me. I am disputing the charge, but they recharge my card a***n. We have to report the credit card company and police office. This is a type of fraud!!! We get be careful this swindler!

Same thing happened to me, and I am not happy about it. They said they'd give me a 30 day free trial now but they can't refund me because it's the computer billing and they supposedly can't do anything about it.

this happened to,but  I didn't sign up for anything. When I call it says customer service is closed call back between 8am & 5pm Mon-Fri and 8am-2pm Sat. & Sun. pacific time.

This same thing happened to me. Now, every time I try to call no one answers and I am put on hold.

same thing happened to me....fight it!

I noticed a charge for 49.94 on my bank statement and called my bank because I didn't know what it was.  They said it was a talent service and they gave the phone number to call regarding it (1800-270-7138).  I remember paying the "one-time" 1.95 fee but they never said anything about paying 49.95 per month.  So I called Hollywood Talent or whatever it's called and told them to cancel my account and give me a refund.  They did cancel my account but wouldn't refund me.  Don't sign up for this if you don't want to end up paying 50 dollars per month to these people...
