Just reading the posting, it sounds too scammy. Too Spoiled? Sounds like a joke site more so than a Talent Site, and how often do you have "Talent Scouts" send you e-mails? They don't. Just like a bank would never send you an email to "Confirm your details" or "Update your Security Access", you will never get an agent contact you out of the blue. You'd have to have done something pretty special for that to happen in reality.

Tip, anything that asks for personal details, money or Security Access codes should be considered Guilty before being proved innocent.

The industry of acting, singing, performing is full of many hopeful and occasionally "desperate" individuals that these sorts of Scams will work. Our task is to help others not fall for them.

So again, thank you David.
