An agency do not require to pay upfront. They get money if you get money. (see picture)
I've done several like this one, and I'm telling you it's a SCAM.
I'm pretty sure those who wrote good review here are paid by them to do it.
It's very sad, the lady seems super nice, it's a shame they use people naiveness to get money...

I was told it was a free sign up and that I didn't realize I had to pay if I wanted to move forward in auditions. Just be aware if they ask for your credit card, they're going to charge you. They charged me $99 for sign up and it said monthly would be 40. Definitely a scam and not worth it. It's Never Mentioned In Zoom Meeting, Only In Contract, Make Sure You READ Your Contract. Learn My Lesson.

All they do is talk about how to be an actor, model, etc.
They ask 100 up front then ask you to pay monthly during this crisis here in the USA like rent and food like bruh we struggling to pay already lie about getting paid at least around 500 for jobs for acting, not a single one opend up, im already struggling to get money and hoping this would pay the bills, not worth it.

They got me on a group zoom and sent me a link to Register for $90 one time payment plus $30 something a monthly fee.
I told them let me sleep on it before I decide to join or not...they told me the link expires a midnight that same day.

They lost me right there...nothing legit has an expiration date to register.
If I putting my money down I want to be able to choose when I do that.

Great company that's going to have what you need. And as a bonus, check out their videos with Mark on Youtube. Really knows his stuff and will show you how.

To all aspiring actors. Agency's work for you, they get paid when you get paid. You never pay an agency. Never! This is the oldest scam and still works because people give them money. I'll say it one more time. You never,ever pay an agency upfront until you land a job... Call any successful agency in LA and NYC, they will tell you the same, so stop giving them money.

Sounds exciting to have a company like this assisting people who have dreams and desires of acting & modeling

I answered a FB ad about casting for a TV series and was texted same day. They wanted to have an open audition zoom meeting next day. I ended up looking them up on BBB and saw abysmal reviews and confronted them about it. They assured me there was no up front costs so I decided to attend the open audition. Needless to say, it ended up being a sales pitch to join them for $99 plus a monthly fee. Avoid at all costs, predatorial sales tactics and a waste of time.

I've been in phone sales all my life. Many Americans are scammed out of their money I've seen it a lot but this time they were going to get me. I believe I had my blinders on because the goal of getting on American idol. She mentioned it in the beginning of the call and so I think the passion everybody has of becoming an actor in a star shuts down that part of your brain that's supposed to say don't do it. Instead it touches that button of oh my gosh I might actually get on the show. My good friend said well just Google her first make it sure before you send any money I said I will do and thank God I did. Thanks for everybody's reviews it saved me money.

I was told this was going to be a casting call for the outer banks tv show. But it ended up being a zoom meeting were they want money from you up front and they also want you to pay a monthly fee. Thank god I have done work on tv shows and some modeling and know to NEVER pay anyone until they get you a contact. Then they get a % of what you make. Also I see they have alot of bad reviews.

Please read reviews on companies before you send them money. I was on the zoom call with them and everything is too sketchy, so I googled their reviews and too much negative came up. Neon red flag!
Reading is fundamental. Read reviews in depth before sending money to these companies. They shouldn't be asking for money up front before they do anything to help you. That's a dead giveaway that it's a scam.
I thank God I didn't fall for it.

THEY CAME OUT ON VICE! And set my boy Taji for failure

They pay so much for advertising!
Def quantity over quality. They don't care who's on the call.
They say it's a casting call yet it's not. It's more of a scam tbh. If you're running a business how are you not seeing who you're interviewing? How do you not pick and choose who you want? I've been to casting calls and this ain't it lol
Steps
1) pitch you a 20min video
2) then they explain pricing ( they will hit you with the " oh Covid affected us all so we dropped the price 400$)
3) then while your on the call they will have you pay the fees. And will call out random names acting like people paid but I'm reality it's their own people.

Hi! I'm writing this because the way they took my money was not fair I joined on Thursday or Friday of May which was maybe like the 18th or 19th and they said that my money is not refundable. I told him I needed an operation and could not continue. That was so unfair so please do not give them your money.

Having so many bad companies out there the only reason that 5th star is not there yet is because of my skepticism on whether this will be a good opportunity or not.

You probably received a random text, not having contacted their company. Right? Your phone number was probably purchased from a collector. They will invite you to a caring call "Hi (you) it's xxx, there are some new Casting Calls so I want you to attend a Virtual Open Call tomorrow. Can you do 11am, 1pm or 3pm ET. Which one?" But, it's not a casting call - is a sales call for their PAID service, which is a scam. Legitimate casting companies DO NOT charge their actors to be included in their databases. My best advice to you is to block their number immediately - because they will text again, and again, and again... {Barf}
Do NOT give these people your money! Check their reviews! See some that I checked below -especially the Better Business Bureau. They've only been registered since 2019 and have had LOADS of complaints!

Attention actors! Please do not give these people any of your hard earned money. No representation (whether they call themselves a legit agency or not) requires you to pay them money for them to consider finding you auditions. Your agent shouldn't be getting money unless you find a job. That is the point of the relationship between actor and agent. Once they get your money they won't have any incentive to find you jobs. Take it from someone that is in the scene. Hollywood doesn't recognize these people as legit agents. So even if they try to book you an audition you won't get hired because it's not legit. They haven't been banned because they call themselves an "unagency" but that in itself is a red flag. Agencies are there to help actors while also making money off of your SUCCESS. I repeat. Do not pay anyone money to book you auditions. You only give a percentage of your contract IF you get casted. These people are disgusting and they prey on desperate amateur actors. And their "success" stories are just paid actors to draw people in. Again anytime someone asks for money just to find auditions it's a scam and tell them no.

Money making scheme. They don't tell the truth about how this business works.Don't fall for this.
Save your money.

They lie about costs and what they actually are. Any agency will only make money from projects you are in. Nine9, The Unagency is a huge scam.

Had my daughter enrolled with them and it was a waste of money. Have been trying to cancel membership for six months and they are still running my card.

That over view is completely cap(false) don't not waste your time, energy, or money with this nine9 BS

They text and make it sound like you have a position with them then when you show up for evaluation they want you to pay 250$ to 500$ and you have to earn your spot.
I asked before setting up the appointment what paperwork or price will be needed and they said nothing is needed just come as yourself dressed comfortable!
