Very shady and questionable website. I found out that my name and information was on the site, including descriptive details about me such as hair color, height, weight, etc. It appears as if they stole the info off the internet, and posted it on their site for financial gain. They also have apparently got a phone number for my family, which the company has been making unsolicited calls to. I have never done any modeling or acting. I did not sign up for this site, so it's extremely troubling that my name and info are on it. Be cautioned that if you find out your info is on the site, it will be very difficult to remove, as they do not seem to want to remove peoples information whom did not sign up for the site, or have no association with it whatsoever.
Well exploretalent.com is not an agency is the largest scam submission services.They say they are the world's largest services because they pay other services to promote them.They are like a "bug" they are everywhere is the internet.Ami and Ben runs the business.Well wwhen you apply they give you 7-day free trail but ofcourse if you don't put a credit card they won't charge you for the service.You will get e-mail inviting you to apply for an audition but in order for you to apply you must be a pro-member for $116.94 for 6 months or a gold member for $199.50. They e-mail you get will say "you been matched for an audition that a casting director wants you".the real deal is that the Marketing department matches you with the "up supposely made up casting" they make you pay,they submit you,the seller will give you a confirmation number but it goes to their own e-mail that exploretalent has.Some local auditions is true,but keep in mind they are local,little things that you can find in Craigslist.com or backstage news paper,or just simply upcoming companies looking for localy people in their areas.exploretalent says they do have Sag,Aftra,non-equity but they don't have connections at all with the line of industry.I know Sag have to pay their duties as well but exploretalent is just a scam.Talent's keep in mind sales peple they are well trained.They will call you to say "you have a great look,lets make it happen,you need EXPLOSURE,if that interested is o.k think abou it CALL ME BACK IN AN 1 HOURS"..Exploretalent deals with a lot of Sag movies where they needs "small speaking roles", real deal is to get a speaking role in a movie you have to know someone who is in the industry or be a sag member but keep in mind,Producers and Directors won't pay for traveling for a small speaking role.ExploreTalent even invent their own listing of casting.They also pay celebraties to promote them because they are not real.Omi and Ben don't care about the people they just cared about money,sales and numbers!.Ami the owner has other business like jewelry company and Porn Agency.so Exploretalent is just another connection to him to make money.
DO NOT SIGN UP WITH EXPLORE TALENT ! Ami Shafrir and Ben Navon are two of the biggest criminals in human history, known as telecommunications "wiz" from Israel, they came to the U.S. to scam innocent people. They have no compassion for their talents or their own employees... Even their customer service are trained liars. Not Only are they using Explore Talent as a front to fund their other "operations" like porno and other fraud, but he also runs hundreds of scams all over the world. I personally know some one that worked there, and its nothing but horror stories! I heard They just shut down the L.
A. Office "On the Run" from lawsuits and the FEDs , and fired every single person that was working for them without pay! To top it off they will lie and do anything to cover their backs! I have worked for agencies and casting directors in Los Angeles for almost 10 years, and I know that not one REAL Casting director will accept a portfolio from Explore Talent in their right mind! Even the professors at USC/ UCLA will tell you they are the biggest Scam in AMERICA! Most of the Celebrities on the site don't even know who they really are!
If you do your research you will find that the original owner actually raped a 14 year old girl and is in Jail right now! When Ami took over the company he supposedly was on the mafias hit list, and they put him on the line for a credit card fraud they had going on before that! He sued him for over $40,000,000... Also Ami is under investigation for child molestation and bank fraud, over the last couples years there have been reports of money laudering and fraud.... stealing money from their own talents for over $100,000 illegally. If you give them any information, let alone a credit card number, you are another one of their victims! I suggest to stay away, or Get your money back! Their auditions are 99% Fake, if you actually look up some of the projects, most of the information is all FAKE! Most of auditions my clients had received from them were on craigslist! They have no idea how the entertainment industry really works and is victimizing America! They want to take advantage and steal money without giving you anything back! They need to be Deported, or better yet locked away in Jail! THEY ARE FAKE!! 100% SCAM DO YOUR RESEARCH on AMI SHAFRIR! F RATING ON THE BBB is for a reason!
Explore Talent is a scam! I was pressured into giving these scammers almost 200 dollars for a year because the "casting director" that called me guaranteed me a role as a movie extra. When I said I would have to think about it he told me that with that attitude I will never work in Hollywood! I can not believe I fell for it, Explore talent is probably just a boiler room with a bunch of telemarketers claiming to be "casting directors". They have 3.6 million people how have they not been sued or closed down, is law enforcement just turning a blind eye or do they not know that this is happening???
Anyone who is 1) California resident and 2) paid money to Explore Talent after January 1, 2010 may be able to join an existing lawsuit in the Alameda County Superior Court. Contact [email protected]. You will need proof that you paid money and a copy of your member agreement if possible.
